Cortef is just another one, it just supports adrenal function.

to bioidenticals. I know that I NEEDED it to heal. However, any hormone that

you supplement with, whether it be natural or synthetic, literally takes over

for your organs. It puts back what you may be missing. But it does nothing for

the lack of hormones that your body is " lacking in producing " . This goes for

all the knew bioidentical talk , ie Suzanne Somers and all the rave. It is true

that you will feel better, b/c your body is missing these necessary hormones to

feel normal and work properly. But your ovaries for instance will still atrophy

while on bioidenticals just like they do when you are on the pill or synthetic

HRT.

also rebuild what is not working properly. I learned alot of this on curezone

and Dr talks about this in Adrenal Fatigue The 21st Century Illness. It

makes total sense if you really think about it. DR strongly advises on

what has been proven to work for individuals to truly heal from adrenal fatigue,

and that is the adrenal extracts, glandulars, cortex supplements. Our problems

originate in the hypothalamus in the brain. He states that the best therapy can

be the combined therapy of glandular support for the hypothalamus, pituitary and

gonads without the hormones....and for the worst cases add the hormones, or

cortef.

me. But I was always that type A personality, go go go and go, worked in NYC,

went to school at night, drank coffee all day long, and go go go go. Athletic,

non-stop energy. I have totally lost all energy function from my implant

rupture. It has been a struggle for me as Patty knows, but it does not matter

what level of fatigue you are at, the glandulars and the vit c support are the

mainstay of healing from the bottom up. Cortef will give you support along the

way. And I did need it. I am reducing my dosage already and feeling my own

adrenals kicking in. I just hope it stays!! But I am also increasing my

adrenal supplements as I decrease cortef, this has been a godsend to me...if I

did not know that I think I would be feeling that big huge crash feeling and I

am not.
