Re: Results from NPTech (UK) - confusing

[Guest guest]

I am hypersensitive to drugs, vitamins, everything. I'm not proud to

say that in my much younger days I dabbled in various illegal

substances and even then I would take about 1/4 of whatever everyone

else took b/c it would affect me so much. It's the same with OTC

products - they really really affect me. It's NOT in my head (which is

what docs have tried to tell me). I don't know what that indicates

(lack of metabolism?) but have learned the hard way to go very very

slowly on ANY sort of substance.

This is the second time I tried to take cortef and it just messes me

up - I have really low blood pressure and it seems to make it worse.

I am going to try the cream and if that is still too much will just

try adrenal support - can anyone recommend a good product that might

be available here in the UK?

Many thanks.

What you don't understand is HC os NOT a drug. It is a hormone. The body

needs a certain amount of this hormone to funciton. When you take just a

little, there is a feedback loop and as the body receives this PILL at

one time it lowers ACTH (the hormone that calls for MORE cortiosl) to

compensate. It is this lowering effect you are feeling. The trick is ot

take it more often in smaller amounts. This way you don;t lower the ACTh

as much and you replace what it does lower.

Thanks Val - I appreciate the advice. I am going to try the cream to

see if bypassing the digestive system helps. I just felt so weak and

ill and nauseous after I took it even with eating non-stop protein to

try to combat the shakiness. It's so hard to take MORE when you feel

that sick.
