Re: Adrenal supplementation

I have just started taking Standard Process for my adrenals. I got the

dosage from Dr. Cowan's book " Fourfold Path to Healing " . I do not know

if it will help but like you my adrenals have to be shot after years of

dieting, stress and lots of sugar/flour. He says in his book it could take

six months to heal them. As I am in my 50's I suspect it could take a

while. I am in menopause and have absolutely no metabolism. I am taking

the

ones he suggests and when I finish my first month I am going to order the

Thyroid ones he recommends because I spent years drink soy protein drinks so

I am sure my thyroid is not doing real well either. He also has a short

article on the WAP website about adrenals.

Subject: Adrenal supplementation

Has anyone here taken natural adrenal supplements or know anything about

it? I read on a natural thyroid site about starting off by taking adrenal

for a few weeks first before trying thyroid. I know my adrenals are shot,

so I'm thinking that this sounds good. They are unclear, though, about

dosing. They say that you can take it spread throughout the day or all at

once. You can take it with a meal or not. You can take it in the morning or

at night - it might help you sleep or keep you awake, etc...

Anyone know any more about it or if it's a good idea or not?

As I side not to taking supplements for Adrenals,

I was told making an effort to get to bed early and 7-8 hours of sleep helps

the adrenals as much as supplements.

I am trying both natural pathic drops and sleep. My gut feel is the sleep is

helping more.

I'm not familiar with Dr. Cowan's book or recommendations, but I don't think you

can go wrong with Standard Process adrenal products. I, too, had severe

hypoadrenia (underactive adrenals) years ago, and was told by someone to try

Standard Process. I was able to locate recommendations about Standard Process

products and their uses/dosages written by Standard Process researchers and

doctors. The material stated that in the case of compromised organ or glandular

function, you should start with SP's whole dessicated tissue product. In the

case of adrenal trouble, that would be their Dessicated Adrenal tablets. I think

the only size available is 60/bottle. That is a one month's supply. After using

the whole dessicated tissue supplement for one month, you then should move on to

SP's tissue-blend product. In the case of adrenal problems, that would be

Drenamin, which is whole dried adrenal tissue mixed with other whole foods and

tissues that help to rebuild the targeted adrenal glands. They

have similar pairs of products for other problematic organs and glands, such as

thyroid, kidneys, etc. and the protocol is the same -- first the pure, whole

dried tissue product for one month, followed by the blended product. For how

long? In my case, change was noticeable even after that first month on the whole

dried adrenal product, and after 6-9 months on Drenamin I was back to normal.

You really can rebuild your body, as long as you use the right building

materials, and if you're rebuilding adrenal glands, what better building

material than adrenal gland tissue? By the way, a chiropractor out in LA runs a

website called myvits.com where I found all this material written by Standard

Process researchers and doctors. SP no longer allows doctors to sell their

products online, so I'm not sure if the literature is still posted on the

website, but you can click around there and see.
