Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Dear Sherry, Bee and all, I know that my new (good!) medical doctor would agree with your assessment here. He told me to, for now, avoid immune " enhancers " like bluegreen algae/spirilina and astragalus because they are like " gasoline thrown on a fire " . He said that my body's immune system is already working at full throttle -- I need to try to help calm things down before giving them more " juice " . When our bodies are fighting things off we should be very gentle, I think. We should only ingest what is absolutely necessary in the way of supplements as these often need to be processed through our already busy livers. We need to give the liver and immune system less work, not more -- (even though the supplements might be a very good thing...) ~Robin _____ From: Bee [mailto:beewilder@...] Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 5:20 AM Subject: [ ] building up adrenals Dear Sherry, While you are struggling with candida it is difficult to build up the adrenals because they are affected by the cells being rigid. Just like the thyroid, tampering with them by using supplements would not be good. The simpliest way to increase adrenal function is Dry Skin Brushing (a web search will bring up how to do it). It is non-invasive and will help you while you cure your candida. Oh, I might mention that early on in my menopause the thing that helped the hot flashes most was Vitamin E.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hi Robin i am bit confused, whats the dose for less of a supplement and what's more of the same supplement. When dealing with different individual needs, this is where the picture becomes a bit dicey. Does this make sense, if so let me know. i know the liver is a detox factory, and sometimes over-worked.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 I guess what I meant by that convoluted syntax is that I now take no more than the recommended dosage that's stated on the bottle of each supplement in question. For example if the bottle says to take one capsule twice a day, I'll take one capsule once or twice a day. I simply meant to suggest that I now " under-do " instead of " over-do " supplements. Many of us think that " if one is good then two is better " and I can say this with some authority because I used to be " one of those people _____ From: Darlene Helmer [mailto:Dfam6@...] Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 10:08 AM Subject: RE: [ ] building up adrenals Hi Robin i am bit confused, whats the dose for less of a supplement and what's more of the same supplement.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Thanks So much Bee. I will search for the dry rub. I have tried vitamin E but need to do that again. I have trouble with it.
