I had saliva testing done for cortisol. It showed low within range

indicated adrenal fatigue. But all of my blood tests showed normal.

---------What kind of blood tests? Your cortisol should be high in the

morning, and then drop as the day goes on, so if you were low all day, this

probably does indicate adrenal fatigue, especially if you've been under any

stress.------Jackie

I do remember some tests that the natruopath indicated were fatigued

adrenals. All he did was put me on some supplement that supported

adrenals called Thorne Phytisone. Here's what it contains in 2

capsules:

Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid) 250 mg 417%

Thiamine (from 30 mg Thiamine HCl) 24 mg 1600%

Vitamin B6 (from 10 mg Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate) 6.8 mg 340%

Zinc (as Zinc Picolinate) 2 mg 14%

Pantethine Octahydrate 100 mg *

Licorice (root) (Glycyrrhiza glabra) 25 mg *

Eleuthero extract (root) (Eleutherococcus senticosus) (0.8% total

Eleutherosides) 75 mg *

Oriental ginseng extract (root) (Panax ginseng) (20% total

Ginsenosides) 75 mg *

Ashwagandha extract (root) (Withania somnifera) (1.5% Withanolides)

150 mg *

Astragalus (Huang-Qi) (root) 100 mg *

Ginger extract (root) (Zinglber officinalis) (5% Gingerols) 50 mg *

----------This is quite a mixed bag of items, and I have heard of many of them

being good for adrenals, but I have no idea if they are in the right quantities

or should all be taken together. I think Andy recently made a comment about

Thorne's combination products not being too good. Did this stuff help at

all?---------Jackie

-------In another post, Sunshine mentions the adrenal book by Dr. , and

said it was very good. You may want to read that.---------Jackie

Asked about HC but wouldn't go for it.

------------Not too many doctors understand how to use it. I had to travel to

find one who did.-------Jackie

Boy, I hope I can get back to exercising like I used to. I miss it.

----------I understand your frustration, because I'm there myself. I just

think I'm quite toxic, and I've had alot of stress in my life since starting

this journey, so I'll just have to try to be patient and get through this. So

hang in there. I'm hoping for a much better 2008, so lets hope its better for

all of us.--------Jackie

Thanks,

Mike

> ---------My first hair test was similar, but more extreme. Cal

and Mag very low to the left in the red and yellow, sodium up a

little to the right in the green, and my potassium was low red all

the way to the right. So I also had 3 to the left and only one to

the right, and didn't know what to make of it. Andy does not say

this in HTI, but told me in her experience, that very

low potassium is always a sign of adrenal stress. This held true in

my case. On my second hair test, after using Isocort (like HC) for a

number of months, my potassium came up to the middle with sodium, and

my cal and mag stayed very low to the left, almost in the red. I

have had exercise intolerance throughout this whole time, and adrenal

fatigue, which now makes sense, knowing that the adrenal stress can

cause the low potassium.

> So, in your case, things aren't as extreme as mine and I don't

remember your situation exactly and what you have/are doing already,

but I would learn about adrenal fatigue and possibly get tested if

you think it may be a problem, and then consider supporting your

adrenals somehow (because of the low potassium), and I would be

careful about exercising and really pay attention to how it makes you

feel and don't over-do-it (because of the low cal and mag).--------
