Re: HC and Immune Function

[Guest guest]

HC decreases immune function only when taken in large amounts. The low amounts

we take are " replacement dosages " , the same amounts our adrenals would be making

(if they were still able to make cortisol adequately) and do not suppress immune

function.

I would like to cite a reference to one of Moderator Val's relevant posts here,

but the annoying " search server " is not letting me look them up at the moment.

coughing badly for two weeks. I finally gave in and went to urgent care this

morning becuase the coughing is so bad. I have sinusitis & bronchitis. It

seems so strange to get this sick. I think I may have read somewhere on this

group that HC decreases immune function. Is that true? If so, do you know why

this happens?
