Chromium Picolinate Re:ACE HC balancing chelation and adrenals

I'm up to 5mg Cortef/50mg ACE 3 times a day: approximate times of

8AM, 11:30 and 3:30.

So, each day that's a total of 15mg Cortef and 150mg ACE. This amount

seems to be helping now that I'm rebalanced a bit.

I stopped chelation (although I was only doing 12.5mgDMSA and 3mgALA)

and am focusing on rest and eliminating stress. Then I will start

again.

I feel better today than I have in weeks and it's the first day I've

eliminated Chromium Picolinate. It's funny... I tried this supplement

years ago and had a terrible problem with dizziness back then. When I

added 200mcg with meals to my regimen this time, a few weeks ago, it

SEEMED okay, at least at first. But it's pretty clear to me now that

the Chromium has been the cause of those melodramatic crashes I've

been having.

I still get more tired mid-day but not this end-of-the-world can't-

move-a-finger kind of stuff.

Yes. Exactly, Thanks.

And thanks for all your support through this. I'm only in my third or

fourth month (and I was out for a couple months, stopped everything

in between to Hawaii) and I appreciate all your help in getting my

regimen set up in these early days. I hope I'll have it a bit more

together as I work through some of the stuff, get more tests back.

And of course will help eventually but it will be

awhile until I can get enough hair for a test so I'm waiting until

then to see her for the whole big picture.

So far, the information I'm getting from you and Jackie, TK and

others is helping me to mend my adrenals a bit and get on a simple

routine that will work in the meantime. I'm also expecting results

from an Diagnostechs ASI stress test I sent in last week. I have

another very good doctor who can look at that while I wait to see
