Re:Paradoxical Cortisol Re: Metal in muscle tissue, body fat and brai

[Guest guest]

hey, Robin

I am getting my adrenals checked, though I don't think that's why food is a

" thing " with me. I've always loved food, and when I was young, I didn't have a

weight problem. The cravings that developed, along with an increasing appetite,

all follow the same path as my declining health. All of it, I believe, is

interrelated. Perhaps cortisol is part of that puzzle.

As I got sicker, my life fell apart in many ways, I never found a " soul mate " ,

my financial situation is terrible, the MCS keeps me trapped in many ways, my

life is very limited in comparison to all the things I would be doing, etc.

Although I have a very positive attitude toward things most of the time and I

have SO much to be grateful for in my life, a person can only take so much,

especially when the bombardments go on for decades. When you are missing so

many of the things in life that would normally bring you comfort and the kind of

happiness you ache for within (though you don't focus on it), other ways to fake

that other stuff come into play. Food is an immediate gratification, just like

TV, just like the internet, just like reading a good book, just like good music,

just like the company of good people, etc.

I'm hoping this time around I'll finally be able to regain my health, my

brain, and a portion of my life that's been neglected, literally for decades

We have to keep at it!
