Thyroid Glandular + Adrenal Cortex Extract (ACE)

[Guest guest]

Lots of discussion about this recently, so I thought I'd update u on

my adrenals and thyroid supplementation/progress as i have had some

fabulous results.

Some of you may remember my Adrenal Cortex Extract (ACE) dosage and

how it happened for me. Initially I had many strange symptoms even at

a low 50mg dosage on ACE. It took 4 months of gradually increasing

the dose from 25mg per day to 1000mg per day and for my adrenals to

start working and my temps to stabilise, which they eventually did

after 4 months or so. Patience was needed but it worked and my

adrenals started working much better and I felt a little better too.

My temps remain very low.

I then started thyroid support with thyroid glandular (Nutri Thyroid)

this time I had no trouble with weird sensations or strange symptoms

like with the ACE….just nothing immediately changed. Started thyroid

glandular 4 months ago. I did 2 months at 3 caps a day, 390mg and

then 2 months at 6 caps a day, 780mg. Split dosing at breakfast and

dinner.

Just like with the ACE, initially nothing happened and I questioned

if it actually was doing anything. Patience was needed but I started

feeling much better after 3 months on the thyroid glandular. About 4

weeks ago my morning basel temps started rising. I have been tracking

them daily for about 12 months now. My temps are still a little low

and a little unstable and its still early days but they are rising

and yesterday for the first time I was " normal " at 36.6 degs. Hooray!

Virtually all my symptoms and problems with my health have gone now

too. No more chronic pain, much more energy, brain seems to be

working pretty well too and I have even restarted my daily yoga

workouts, which has been further accelerating my recovery, rebuilding

and strengthening me.

When I first started following this group about 12 months ago, I used

to ignore the adrenal and thyroid posts…it's so confusing to start

with……but I always saw people saying how important it was to get to

grips with this…..how much of a difference it makes when these things

are supported……Well, now I know how true that is….because I feel like

a normal person these days….which is amazing considering how terrible

2007 was for me.

It must be remembered I have done many many other things to help

myself get better, this adrenal and thyroid project is just one of

many I have done and continue to do….but this has made a big

difference to my life.

Only other supplements specifically targeted here have been maca,

kelp, salt, plus lots of Vit B. I also supplement as per Cutler

recommendations.

I was under the direction from Dr Peatfield, a specialist in the UK,

whom I can recommend. Andy's comments in AI and the numerous other

books I have read all helped me understand my options, I am very

happy I went down the glandular route because it's worked a treat.
