Re: Adrenal Fatigue - Hair Loss

[Guest guest]

Hi Denis,

I too have struggled with adrenal fatigue. If you look under the file

called " C) Treatments " the first article in that folder talks about

adrenal fatigue.

As for there being contradictions between Bee's diet and regular

adrenal fatigue protocol, I think you'll do better to follow Bee's

recommendations. To heal adrenal fatigue, you do not need a higher

amount of carbs (like that from rice or avocados). The main issue, as

I understand it, is that with adrenal fatiuge, a diet that maintains a

constant blood sugar level is a key consideration to recovery. As

avocados and rice are low-glycemic index foods they are often

recommended as they are less likely to cause dips and spikes in blood

sugar levels like refined carbs such as flour and sugar. HOWEVER, to

regulate blood sugar, an even better option to low-glycemic carbs is

to increase your fats intake like Bee recommends. Blood sugar levels

are even more stable when your body runs on fats than low-glycemic

carbs, so Bee's diet is more likely to address your adrenal fatigue

and do it quicker than a diet higher in carbs, even if they are

low-glycemic index carbs.

As for your question about hair loss, mine was thinning as well. But

since I started treating my adrenal fatigue, it has stopped thinning

and has gotten thicker again, so just improving your adrenals may help

with your hair loss. If you search the old post this topic has come

up enough, that you might find reading the old post helpful as well.

And, I hope you don't mind, but I also took a peak at the supplements

you included in the email. One has alcohol in it, so I would stay

away from that one for sure. Many of the others include vitamins that

Bee already recommends. And since Bee's recommendations address what

our bodies need to heal, I would recommend taking Bee's supplements

and not the ones you mention, as they might lead to you having too

much of some viatmins and not enough of others. Some of the other

ingredients, in those supplements, are trace minerals that you will

get plenty of just by using a good sea salt and drinking Bee's

electrolyte drink. And the other glandular extracts and herbs in the

supplements, I think could overwhelm a persons system or tinker too

much with it. I have found that the more simple of approach (and less

costly) of taking Bee's recommended vitamins and concentrating on good

nutritional foods has done more for my adrenal fatigue than any

overpriced supplement could.

I have also found that the two other things that made the most

difference for me other than Bee's sea salt and vitamins

recommendations, were eating more gelatin rich bone broths and

incorporating the other recommendations Bee outlines in her treatment

folder. Honestly, you can't go wrong on Bee's plan. It works just as

well for dealing with adrenal fatigue as it does for fighting candida.
