Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 , why do you say licorice and hc should not be taken together? I saw that in another site and it said something about licorice extends your own adrenals. I am wondering because I thought licorice helped the aldosterone levels and was thinking of doing DGL instead of florinef to see if it helps but was concerned when it said to not take them both in a protocol. Then again, at stage 7 I doubt it matters much since my cortex is shot but was curious on your opinion. Cheri -----Original Message----- Hydrocortisone is absolutely needed in stage 7. I have not heard of ONE person healing adrenalds from that stage without it. Sea salt vitamin c and B vitamins also . Herbs that are supportiv include Maca, Ashwaganda and sometimes licorice root though I am not certain Licorice root should be taken WITH HC. Rest and change of lifestyle are also many times needed. It is a slow process, adrenas do not heal quickly. Also gettign thyroid RIGHT is a necessity as well. -- . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I think it would be hard to knwo how much cortios is enough and what is too much using the Licorice. DGL Licorice is not going to help your aldosteone levels it is that ingredient that is active and acts liek aldosterone. It does extend the life of your own cortilsl AND what you take so I just fear the dosing would become WAY to complex to know what was doing what. With HC you should not nee dlicorice too but it migh tbe very useful when it comes time to taper off the HC. BTW never assume your adrnelas are goners! I have heard of a person that was on 20-30MG HC for over 20 years and tapered off and was fine! -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 So, DGL is just for the gut but regular licorice helps aldosterone levels? Is that how it works? The reason I ask is because a lot of adrenal research says to use licorice first for your aldosterone levels (if low) and then if not enough use Florinef.
