I may check into Nutricology or I may even try to get HC afterall- I just cannot seem to conclude what is best for me at this time.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 While I don't have a sure fire answer, it varies from person to person. Depends on how bad your adrenals are. What adrenal cortex extract does as per Andy, is provide the support and nutrients needed to nourish your adrenals so they can recover and heal up in order to work better on their own. This is the least invasive way of treating it. No doc is needed. No Medical ID tag..etc. Hydrocortisone replaces the hormone your adrenals are not making enough of. This gives them a break also. Both courses involve somewhat long term treatment, however with the cortisone you need to be diligent in taking it and be sure to wean slowly off of it over a period of months after you have done sufficient time using it (probably a year or longer depending on toxicity). I don't see a problem with that if it helps and give you quality of life. Since most of us may need lifelong endocrine support after what the mercury has done. You also must notify any doctor or emergency room personnel that you are on it. As more is needed during stresses. I am going by what I read in Andy's book. I have not moved on to cortisone yet. Haven't needed too. The ACE is less touchy in that you should wean down but this can be done in days or a few weeks because as I am told it does not contain cortisol. However, I must note that is certainly works despite that claim. I found ACE was the first step in trying to help the adrenals. If this does not work, then I would pursue cortisone. I also note that if we miss a dose, you do not flip out or have severe symptoms. You may notice yourself a bit more edgy than usually and this reminds you to take one. It costs $13 for 100 caps. So it's moderate in cost. I have seen a range of need from one cap a day to 4. Depends on the person. My daughters' saliva test was pretty bad. Her adrenals are really shot, but since she is not adult age, using cortisone is tricky and not advised unless nothing else works. So we use ACE for her also. And it works, it maintains her and alleviates symptoms. -- In frequent-dose-chelation , " s.rickel " wrote: > > > >Thanks the the tip Jada.
