Just reading AI page 78 where Andy says

" cortisol elevates mood and reduces anxiety and relieves tension by

direct action on the brain. 5mg 2-4 times per day is enough to have

some of this effect, it happens quickly, and this is not enough to lead

to the negative side effects of glucocorticoid use like HPA supression

or excessive weight gain. "

So maybe I should be dividing my doses of Thorne ACE throughout the

day?

Also, what's this about weight-gain? Fat? Man, I am at my perfect

weight, it's like the ONLY thing I don't have a problem with :-) I

certainly hope I don't have to buy all new clothes...

In other news, when I first received a Meyers Push from a doctor here

in my new town (before I even knew about metals) he added some

(probably absurd) amount of ACE to the mix. I felt GREAT for about an

hour or two and then I seriously crashed. That night I couldn't sleep

very well so I thought, hey, maybe I don't need cortisol.

But now I'm thinking, as usual, the American M.D. " used a sledgehammer

when a putty knife would have done the job, " and so the problem was not

the stuff but the amount of the stuff. (This was the same clown who

injected me later with a couple grams of DMPS and EDTA. He's now

advertising super injections of a-Lipoic Acid (!) I want to stand

outside his office with a placard warning patients away.)

In any case, I imagine that putting cortisol in one's veins, even a

small amount, is not such a good idea? Too much of a good thing?
