Re: Re: Low Cortisol Confirmed - What next ??????

[Guest guest]

Yes and it's the best way to treat this problem if your Primary meaning they are

just over worked going on HC for about 6 months doing 5 mgs 4x's a day of if you

feeling real bad in the morning do 10 mgs then 5 mgs at lunch and Dinner time.

Some people need more you can tell if it dose not last 4 hrs or you need to

stress dose a lot. Read the FAQ's I gave you it them it tells you how to start

on HC and later how to come off it to retest. When you take HC your supporting

your adrenals so the are not working so hard. Supporting them lets them heal

and when you come off HC and feel good your healed.

But what every you did in your life to stress them you need to stop and do a

life change or they will poop out again.

Taking HC is safe a lot of Dr.'s think it's not but as long as you don't do more

the 40 mgs a day you don't shut down your ACTH messages. In this link you can

read some of the best parts to Dr. Jefferies book " Safe Uses of Cortisol " if

your Dr. does not want to give you HC show him this link.

I would try and work with your Dr. if he will not treat this let us know we can

help you find a Dr. even if you don't live in the USA. There is a supplement

you can try Isocort you work up to 8 pills a day but if you can get Cortef this

works the best.

OK but go slow on this when you start the pills your getting are 10 mgs you will

need to cut them in to 2.5 mgs and start with 2.5 mgs a day and go up every 5

days 2.5 mgs until your doing 5mgs every 4 hrs. 4x's a day.
