Hi Chris

Thanks for that

just the same, it really helps my understanding.

So, would I be correct then in saying that physiolgical dose cortisone

is not more likely to suppress the immune response than our natural

cortisol?

Thanks.

Honestly, I don't know. I would guess they are roughly equivalent. I

don't think it's a matter of liklihood, though, but degree. Any

amount of either will suppress parts of the immune response to some

degree --- not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself -- and small

doses will do so a little and large doses a lot, and there is some

optimum dose in between. I'm not anything close to an expert, but

that's my impression at this point.
