A couple of questions about The Safe Use Of Cortisol book....

[Guest guest]

Just read the book, darn good info. If only every doctor would read it.

I am however a bit confused about a couple of things. With many of

the case studies he performs ACTH stim tests on people who have

already been on HC for a year, two and even more. It has been drilled

into me that you can't do the stim test if you are on ANY type of HC

(Isocort, grandulars, HC). How would the test he ran on this patient

come out properly? This is very confusing.

He also has most people on 5-5-5-5 a day of HC. Not the higher to

lower rhythm that most people her do. Is this pattern (let's say

12.5-7.5-5-2.5) something that came from experimentation? I can't

imagine everyone would be able to sleep with 5 at bedtime. I haven't

seen anyone on either this group or the realthyroidhelp board take

5-5-5-5. Any thoughts especially on the whole ACTH stim test?
