Re: adrenal support - Dave

[Guest guest]

Thanks ,

Yep I am a caffeine addict, and I am going to taper it

off just like you suggested. Thanks for the

salicylates advice. I might try some of the natural

adrenal support you suggested. I have been taking

lots of supplements and they have helped a lot.

Thanks for the advice and support...
