I expect I do need more but I'm one of those people who has to ramp up

VERY slowly or else I just get sick and quit. So I'm starting with

Thorne and will progress to Nutricology when my dose gets high enough.

> How low was the cortisol on the test?

My overall cortisol burden was 18 (ref range 23-42). My 7AM cortisol

was 4 (13-24), 11AM was 8 (5-10), 5PM was 3 (3-8) and 11PM was 3

(1-4). My circadian profile was inverted, ie, lowest in the morning

with my two " peaks " coming at noon and midnight when its normal to

dip. I think this is pretty typical for mercury toxic folks, right?

Yes, thyroid may be a problem but everything seems to indicate that it

is secondary to the adrenals. But I will definitely keep it in mind.
