" Teitelbaum " phase in my search for a solution. His treatments didn't work for

me. His protocols are far too complex for a severely fatigued person who simply

didn't have the brain function to work with " take X 3 times a day, take Y 5

times a day, take Z 4 times a day, add A, B, or C if this or that part of the

protocol doesn't work. I was trying to take up to 6 and more things at different

times of day. It was impossible for me, I was far too fatigued and brain fogged

to make sense of it let alone remember any of it. I was just re-reading his

ideas of HC for adrenal fatigue------5 mg per day? I doubt that will help even a

small percentage of his patients.

I also tried Guaifenesin for my fibro, ala Dr. St. Amand. No joy there

either. (Before that among other things, I did a whole candidiasis

protocol). In those days, not all that long ago, about 2-3 years ago, I

found that the benefit I got from the St. A protocol was it got me back

on a low carb hypoglycemic diet. Plus I had a doctor who gave me a good

pain med, one of the older NSAID anti-inflammatories. But after 8-9

months, that began to cause horrible stomach pain, so I had to go off

it, and can no longer take it more than a couple times a month.

Eventually I found my way here, through the help of an online

aquaintance who was the first person to " diagnose " my hypoT and Hashi's.
