Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hi Bee, I did a saliva test recently for adrenal function and related hormone levels, and the results came back saying that I have 2nd stage adrenal fatigue. That makes total sense with the job that I have, on top of years of candida problems. As I mentioned in my other mail, the candida seems to have subsided to almost nothing. In terms of the lab results, basically I have abnormally low levels of coritisol, DHEA, progesterone, or melatonin. The recommended adrenal protocol consists of low level, sub lingual dosages of pregnenolone, DHEA, and an adrenal supplement kind of like Armour that is a desiccated bovine glandular. I've read the adrenal material in the files -- I'm doing the dry skin brushing, I don't drink caffeinated beverages or eat bad fats, and I obviously don't eat sugars or refined carbs. I'm also eating a lot of eggs and butter. In short, the candida diet is ideal for adrenal problems. Can you think of anything else that might help? Thanks, Jeanne OTS __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes the body 4 years to clear out bad oils and fats and that could be the key that holds us up on achieving normal functioning of many organs in the body. The body has to completely change over all of its cells from bad fats and oils to the right combination, including at least 50% saturated fats. ==>It is extremely important for the body to get it's main energy from fats, and not from carbs. You can't mix the two, with carbs running the body one day and fats the next. It can cause problems for the body. > > Can you think of anything else that might help? ==>The lemon & sea salt drink is very helpful - you are taking it though. Adrenal massages are great, as well as accupuncture, accupressor or Shiatzu treatments. Increasing the number of times you do dry skin brushing will help, as well as jumping rope or rebounding on a mini trampoline. ==>It might also help you to increase your vitamin C - I've been reading more about Linus ing's research on vitamin C and it appears we need more than we thought. Our bodies need at least 4,000 mgs daily (1,000 mg must be from the tablet I recommend which includes bioflavonoids, rutin, etc.) and the rest from sodium ascorbate (mix equal amounts of ascorbic acid and baking soda and add good water). But it is hard to get that much without getting loose stools, so the trick is to start with less and gradually increase it (every week or so). One of my friends adds her daily ration of sodium ascorbate to the water she will drink in one day, and then use that water to make your lemon and sea salt drink. ==>You can also get more vitamin C by squirting a mixture in your nose, which makes it 1,000 time more absorable and by passes the loose bowel problem (mix 1,000-1,200 mgs. of ascorbic acid, which is usually 1/4 tsp. with an equal amount of baking soda, add 1/2 cup of water and put it in a squirt bottle). Vitamin C also helps your body utilize all minerals and vitamins better. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
