Re:Thanks Dean re hydrocortisone for low adrenals, question

[Guest guest]

i know prednisone stirs up major yeast problems so i woudl be surprised

if hydrocortisone doesn't contribute to yeast?? where did you hear it

was anti-yeast?

thanks

monique

I know Andy recommends this and I believe somewhere in the book says

that hydrocortisone is actually an anti yeast.

I guess my concern is taking a steriod: Is the Hydro-C pretty safe

to all your other organs/systems?

/

How long do you take usually, ie until you feel better?

Thanks all

Cortisol is like many other things, too much and too little are not

good, a person needs just the right amount.

If someone is in a hypoadrenal condition the low cortisol makes it

difficult for the body to fight off invaders including yeast.

Having just the right amount of cortisol helps to protect from yeast

and other invaders.

Too much cortisol can favor yeast.

It is safe when used at a *physiological dose ie just the right amount

to bring the cortisol levels up to where they should be. Usually this

is 20 mg Cortef or less, just enough to relieve symptoms.

When cortisol first came to be used the medical community used

excessive pharmacological doses. Pharmacological doses are not safe

in the long term.

When cortisol is taken orally sometimes the stomach is irritated and

that is why it is to be taken with food.(I never had this problem)

Depends on the person and their circumstances.
