HC cream info needed

[Guest guest]

Hi All, I am currently looking into the different options of taking HC

medication and would be quite interested in finding out more about HC creams. I

live in the UK and was wondering if anybody knew any good brands I could get

here. If so, kindly send me a private email.

How often per day would I have to use the cream, how much at a time and for how

long? I read that any HC medication suppresses the body's cortisol production -

is that not counterproductive? I am a bit worried that I would make things worse

in the long run.

My saliva results are posted below - unfortunately they are now about 2-3 months

old, so things might have changed. I look forward to some input - thanks in

advance! Merith

There is very good HC cream information at the Adrenals Files page, here's the

link:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/files/

There's a list of files, you're looking for " HC Cream FAQ "

The adrenals group is a good source for info on cortisol/adrenal issues. They

are closed for a break right now, but will be re-opening soon, here's the link:
