---------Very hard to find a doctor to prescribe HC. I see you plan on trying

licorice, and that is fine and I hope it works for you, but I did want to

mention that there is a product called Isocort that is OTC that supposedly

contains 2.5mg of cortisol per pellet, and you can take up to 8/day. I used it

before I got HC, and I had good results with it. So if the licorice doesn't

work out for some reason, you could try the Isocort. But don't take them both

at the same time, just like you shouldn't take licorice and HC together

either.--------Jackie

It has been three months since my amalgam removal. I so want to get

started with chelation. My hair test indicated possible thyroid and

adrenal issues. Thyroid tests came back normal.

---------What all did they test, and did you ever post your results? They

should test Free T3, Free T4, and antibodies, not just TSH. And your Free's

should be in the upper 1/3 to 1/4 of the range to feel best.-------Jackie

I'm a bit nervous about using licorice, but am willing to try it. I

can't figure out where to get the amount I need. Many of the licorice

supplements have the glycyrrhizic acid removed. I need 10-15 mg of

whole licorice extract glycyrrhizic acid content in morning, and 5-10

mg at noon according to this restoration plan. Can anyone recommend a

product by name. Any personal experience(good or bad) would also be

appreciated.
