Re: Alternatives to Cortef? ?

[Guest guest]

To treat my adrenals I only used whole/unrefined salt, 3-5000mg of

vitamin C, adrenal cortex, B complex and regular SLEEP (8 hrs a

night)! My adrenals were at the point where I was exhausted on a

daily basis, and even had experienced a panic attack one time. I

don't know what stage my adrenals were in but my cortisol production

still there, albeit very low levels.

I have never used HC...maybe it would have helped...maybe not. I

knew though I did not want to risk side effects without FIRST trying

the above route. Its been about 10 months, it worked. Most days I am

great...every once in awhile I have an adrenal problem and then I

know I need to keep up my protocol.

If you used adrenal cortex then you got cortisol which is all HC is. I used

adrenal glandulars which include cortex for 4 years. We tend to recommend HC

or adrenal cortex supplements like Isocort because we know the amount of

cortisol in them.
