adrenal fatigue medications

[Guest guest]

here are a couple of lists of nutrients that are depleted from taking certain medications.

Cortisone depeltes quite a few, including Vitamin C, which is essential for adrenal function, and Vitamin D, essential for hormone production and healthy bones.

I think that your are absolutely right about adrenal dysfunction beingjust a symptom of a chronic inflammatory state. However steroids neverfix "adrenal fatigue" in CFS or in lupus because they merely stop muchof innate immune response. The inflammation is reduced but the rootcause of the disease is actually helped by the destruction of theinnate immune response and adrenal function remains depressed. Only incertain life threatening situations is adrenal replacement needed.Taking steroids can make you feel better but at a terrible long termcost(osteoporosis for one). Generally giving "replacement" depressesendogenous production and then makes weaning from steroids quitedangerous for some. I have been personally convinced by the work of Dr and others that CFS as well as lupus and almost all'autoimmune' conditions are caused by chronic intracellular infectionsthat wreck havoc upon

hormonal balance. The diagnosis of lupus or CFSetc. is in many ways as bogus as the diagnosis of "adrenal fatigue",because all are merely different presentations of the same pathologicphysiological state. The track record of mainstream and alternativemedicine's treatment of these diseases is pathetic in so far as theyusually attempt only to manage symptoms by depressing immune functionfor the most part. LDN is in many ways a refreshing 'third force' inso far as it attempts to encourage immune function for these group ofillnesses.P.B.> >> > -No, but it is used to help people with ME.
