It depends if your adrenal function is low, and how low your adrenal

function is. If it is just a tad low, diet and supplements, plus life

style changes, will help tremendously, if you are willing to make the

right changes.

If a person has seriously low adrenal function their ability to heal

will be compromised, which will seriously slow the chelation process

and leave them vulnerable to infections and periods of collapse.

So far it seems the only suffering I've incurred from it is

You would need to look up and match your symptoms to other symptoms of

adrenal insufficiency and decide if you are willing to obtain saliva

tests and if you are willing to modify your diet, add the appropriate

supplements, and possibly make life style modifications.

I can cope with that, especially if it means in

We do not know for sure that adrenal insufficiency is contributing to

your weight loss and we can not predict over the internet what will

interfere with your ability to conceive.

There may be several factors involved. We can not draw conclusions

based on the limited information you have given us. I believe that

Dean was meaning that adrenal insufficiency CAN interfere with fertility.

Your religious beliefs are your own and totally your own business. I

understand that you are mentioning them to show the reason why you

choose not to use birth control. That is totally your own decision

and it would be best for us not to get involved in your own religious

beliefs and decisions.

What I would like to point out is that it would not be good to

conceive a child while moving mercury during chelation. Andy has

posted on the subject in the past and his posts can be found by

searching archives - I do not have them at my fingertips. He is the

best person to give an educated estimate of when it would be best to

conceive after the chelation process is over. Certainly he would

advise not to conceive during chelation.

So, perhaps having low adrenal and

Using the above reasoning to justify contraception avoidance would not

be wise.

I do not believe that low adrenal function and low thyroid will

prevent conception - even if you have those two problems, which we can

not say for sure.

That way I'd be able to do this right, and avoid contraception, too,
