RE: Re: Got saliva results, is advice from Dr P still appropriate?

[Guest guest]

Hmm - I thought I had responded to this message. Not sure what

you mean about wanting to know how to add your results to files or attachments.

Usually, we expect members to post their results direct in a message, as you

have done here. You can send your results as an attachment but mainly it would

only be seen by those receiving Individual Emails, so best just to type them out

as you have done, and then all can see them. These adrenal results show you are

stressed but that your cortisol level is not low.

When you start your Nutri Adrenal Extra, you stop your thyroid

hormone replacement (if you are taking any). Start with taking one tablet with

breakfast. On the 8th day, add back your thyroid hormone replacement and

increase your dose of NAE by taking another tablet with your lunch (don't take

any after 1.00p.m. otherwise, this might stop you from sleeping). In another 10

days to 2 weeks, if necessary, add another tablet with your breakfast and

continue increasing in this way until you start to feel better. You can take up

to 6 tablets daily, but if you don't feel better at that dose, you need

something stronger, such as Isocort or even Hydrocortisone - but Dr P will

guide you here. You need to start taking 4/5000mgs vitamin C daily together

with Siberian Ginseng and Selenium 200mcgs daily (again with food).

If you want to know more about the thyroid adrenal connection,

go to our Home Page, click on FILES and on the list there, open the ADRENALS

folder and read all you can there.

Don't worry about uploading details of tests to our Files

section.

conversion and T3 receptor uptake has run down. He has prescribed NAX and NTand

has has told me to stop taking levothyroxine for 10 days and to start NAX on

day seven. Also to supplement with vit C and CQ10.

it shows my cortisol and DHEA high at some point in the day. I did them on a

day when I was feeling to ill to do anything so there was very little external

stress. Does this mean that it is not my adrenals and that I don't need the

NAX. Have searched the forum but can't find any posts about both being high.
