High DHEA was adrenal/thyroid testing before chelation

[Guest guest]

>Also, http://www.chronicfatigue.org/ has 8 stages of adrenal fatigue. They took

Selye's 4 stages, added DHEA levels to it, and expanded it from 4 to 8 stages.

Somewhere on this website is a chart of the 8 stages. I can't find it. Maybe

someone else is familiar with this site and can help. Normal cortisol with high

DHEA might be one of the stages. At one point, I believe cortisol goes from high

(in beginning stages) to normal (in middle stages) and then to low (in later

stages). I *think* the only way to recognize the normal cortisol as being a

stage of adrenal fatigue is by looking at the DHEA levels, which won't be normal

if there is adrenal fatigue with normal cortisol. I just can't remember if the

DHEA is low or high at this point...

HI Olif,

I have put links to these stages here:

http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/adrenals_thyroid.html

It happens twice when DHEA is high:

1) When cortisol levels are also raised in the beginning stages of stress -

Stage 2 and

2) When cortisol levels are normal - Stage 6 (just before the body gives up) It

means the body is still have a last gasp.
