Re: Re: Deltacortril and metformin

[Guest guest]

I wouldn't switch to Cortef because of a few reasons:

#1 Cost - I can get generic Delta for $1 for 30 pills here, no Rx

needed, and I'd have to import the Cortef in dollars, which would cost a

ton;

#2 PCOS - the protocol for PCOS is Prednisolone or Prednisone, not

Hydrocortisone, so besides treating the adrenal fatigue, I am lowering

my testosterone;

#3 Hunger - Delta makes me very very hungry, and I can't afford to be

even fatter (the more fat I have, the more testosterone), so I take it

at night to avoid the " eating the house " effect and also because the

protocol for PCOS says to take it at night. So I couldn't take Cortef

and wake up in the middle of the night to take it.

you just have to try it! I like cortef better than delta right now.

I can understand the cost factor but I think some of your beliefs about

cortisol are untrue. Cortef made me hungrier but it just didin't matter b/c

I burned the calories and felt a lot better. With correct thyroid/adrenal

treatment metabolism works efficiently and you can eat quite normally.

Protocol for PCOS might be the same as protocol for hypothyroidism, i.e. not

very good.

I know for a fact the Delta makes me hungry, and nope, it didn't make me

magically lose weight. Nothing makes me lose weight short of weighing

every gram of food I eat and exercising at least 2h a day. I have 30lb

to lose and the testosterone is still 3x higher than usual. Meanwhile, I

am diabetic too so I am sure I can't lower blood sugar enough being this

fat. So I can't afford to risk gaining more weight, or even maintaining

this weight longer.

If this is something that only happens after a while, I'd love to see it

happen. But then again, it is not like I eat little already, I eat a lot

as it is, I am not sure there is enough metabolism in the world that can

have me eating more and losing weight. I am very strict in what I eat to

lose weight, but not in the amount I eat - I thought I'd make it clear

as most people who say they wanna lose weight eat a really low amount of

calories, and probably eating more would boost their metabolism and help

with weight loss. I am not gonna get that effect as I already eat " a

ton " by normal standards.

Actually, the protocol for PCOS by traditional doctors is " here is the

pill, see ya next year " , same as hypothyroidism, just replace

" Synthroid " with " the pill " . The protocol I am referring to is by

holistic doctors who were influenced by Jefferies. Traditional doctors

think that cortisol is only to be used for LOCAH, not PCOS, and that it

can only help PCOS if DHEA is elevated. The holistic doctors are the

ones who believe in adrenal fatigue and think that even if DHEA is

normal, cortisol will rest the adrenals and reduce total output of sex

hormones.
