IsoCort has 2-1/2 mg of cortisone per pellet. To get 20 mg, you need

8 a day. It is best taken 4 times a day about 4 hours apart. Studies

have shown that this works best for most people. Cortisone only

lasts about 4 hours after you take it. So, it's important to be good

about taking it on time, otherwise it can be quite hard on the

adrenals if you miss a dose. Jeffries in his book " Safe Uses of

Cortisol " found that the best regimin was 4 equal doses (2 pills

each dose for 20 mg total) starting first thing in the morning and

ending sometime in the afternoon or early evening.

The adrenals need to make the most hormone in the morning - double

the rest of the day. So, if you feel you must eliminate one dose,

then eliminate the latest dose in the afternoon. Adrenal support in

the morning is more important on average since the adrenals have to

work harder then. If you take 20 mg a day, then you will need to pay

attention to your stress as you will have less reserve for too much.

So, if you get sick, have dental work or stress, then take extra for

that. Jeffries recommends doubling your dose for a few days in

illness.

Question: In reading Andy's book on adrenal insuffieciency, I saw the

need for hydrocortisone supplementation. Does anyone have experience

with this? My doctor prescribed 2.5 mgs when I need it. If I take in

am and at lunch and again at 4pm (total 7.5 mgs/day) I can get

through the day.

I stopped working 9/06, amalgams were out by 2/8/07, started

chelating 3/16/07, started hydrocortisone 2 weeks ago. Will it be 9

months from the date I started the hydrocortisone until I can

exercise? I experience the ACTH response, I get fatigued from any

kind of stress or exercise. However, this is a little perplexing to

me since in between amalgam removal and beginning chelation I

actually experienced feeling better and noticed I was recovering from

fatigue and had more stamina. Since beginning chelation, the opposite

is true.

I didn't see anything in the book that addressed stages other than

count on 9 months before adrenals are healed. Did I interpret this

correctly and does anyone have any experience to shed light on this?

Thanks.
