Cortef (HC) and hair color change?

[Guest guest]

My gray-haired friend started taking Cortef six months ago to get her adrenals working. Her thyroid was low so she started Cortef to keep the thyroid meds from weakening the adrenals further.

Slowly, the temps are coming up and she is raising the thyroid. She feels better.

But why is her hair color coming back????

She's supporting her adrenals...I think there's a relationship

between low cortisol and depigmenting hair. It may also have to do

with her DHEA. I think Teitelbaum wrote something about

that...relationship between low DHEA and gray hair...and when DHEA

rises, hair can sometime repigment.

I remember when I started Iodoral, some of my gray hair repigmented.

BUt also, my new hair growth (which started after treating low

aldosterone) is dark brown, and growing in my gray patches. Er, it's

the rest of my hair coming back in...
