Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 : " Most doctors have been scared by stories of patients having problems after being on long term _pharmacological_ doses of cortisol (much larger than the doses Jefferies uses). Those problems have confused the medical community. Most doctors are not aware of Jefferies work. Some are aware of it but haven't looked closely and are still scared. Jefferies explains it fairly well in his book. " I didn't realize how large the taboo on HC is. I am seeing an ND and DO. I started the HC myself a couple weeks before seeing the DO. I have been seeing the ND and getting treated for my adrenals for nearly 9 months. When I wasn't getting the results I wanted, etc., I began looking for answers, which eventually led me to Cutler's work. Since my doctor is a ND, and I would say a good one, I almost wanted to assume that she was aware of Jefferies' work and just didn't agree with it. I guess I could be wrong on that! When I get better, I want to go back to school to become an ND. I want a letter of recommendation from my ND, if she will give me one- heck I diagnosed my own mercury toxicity and Hashi's. After starting Jefferies' book, there is no way I could tell her I started myself on steroids and then ask her for a recommendation! The taboo is much too large!

You could bring in a couple of xeroxed pages highlighting important things, a little bit at each visit, and over time she (may) become more comfortable with physiological HC. The way to approach it is to sort of talk to the practitioner as if she already knows all this stuff, bring something in relevent to what is going on with you, and then ask a simple question, and swallow the answer no matter what it is. You can tell right away if the practitioner is completely closed to new information from body language. Then there is no point proceeding, at least not on that day. Even though my doctor did not want me to start on physiological HC in the first place, he has learned with me over time and is very helpful with whatever difficulty I get in. Some of the other doctors in his group did seem to be familiar with treating 's patients and were more relaxed about the HC when I talked to them about it. It is good to have a doctor to talk things over with in case of infection or serious stress. J > Thanks, > Olif > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
