Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hello all, I'm hypoadrenal and am presently taking 25mg cortef and other vitamin support daily, for the past year but am not responding that well. Dean had mentioned that take ACE can be of great help, but i have only been able to get ahold of Thorne ace which are 50 mg caps. Others have mentioned taking Allergy research brand which are 250 mg several times daily. I have ordered this thru my local health store but to no avail as they have mentioned that it sometimes gets held up at customs. I am in Toronto area Canada. I think my adrenals need repair and ACE may be the answer. All my hormones are too low including, DHEA,aldosterone,testosterone,cortisol etc. Anyone know a good ACE brand or where i can get a high dosage formula in Canada? What about a compounding pharmacy? I also have chronic bladder infection and whenever i cut or injure myself i always seem to get an infection. I guess this is also taxing the adrenals. the dr. said 25mg cortef is what the body should make and is hesitant to up the dosage. Chromium 800 mcg daily has helped somewhat with hypoglycemic symptoms. but all other symptoms of hypoadrenal remain, including adrenaline rushes, heart racing/palpitations, sensitivity to light, dizziness, weakness in legs when walking, low blood pressure esp. when sit to stand etc. cold feet, breath shortness, etc.etc. I still chelate every 11 days with dmsa/ala, as i can't wait for this problem to resolve. Has anyone tried arginine to control bacterial problems with any success? (as per Andy AI book)? I suspect i also have leaky gut with bacterial issues as well in the gut. Thanks to all who respond, i'm very grateful. Frances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
