Did you have problems breathing when you first took the supplement? or a week

later?

There are other adrenal supplements that have fewer ingredients. Check out

adrenal cortex extract made by Thorne or Nutricology. (Both available at iHerb)

Read what Andy Cutler writes in his " Amalgam Illness " book about diet for a

person with adrenal fatigue. Frequent meals and snacks with protein at every

snack. The diet should avoid _refined sugars_ and fast release carbohydrates

but one needs a certain amount of foods containing complex carbohydrates and

some fruits containing sugars for energy. Try to include good fats such as

extra virgin olive oil in salads and dips, butter, and nuts and seeds. Use low

sugar fruits and do not give them in high doses. Read up on hypoglycemia diets.

Good. Be sure to give lots of vitamin C. Read Andy's recommendations for

dosages for children.

Hypoglycemia is very commonly found with adrenal fatigue. If his cortisol

levels were measured to be low and he has adrenal fatigue symptoms it is best

for him if you do everything that you can (to manipulate his diet) to maintain

steady blood sugar levels. Whenever blood sugar levels fall the adrenals are

called upon to bring them up, because the brain needs a certain level of

glucose, and weak adrenals can't do the job.

Hi ,

Thanks so much for your detailed answer. 

Our test results are:

7am 24,5 should be 12-22 (explanation: Cortisol is high due to possible low

glucose during the night, or persistent inflammation)

11am 4,5 should be 5-9 (suggests adrenal hypofunction)

3pm 1,7 should be 3-5 (suggests suboptimal adrenal functioning)

 9pm 0,8 should be 1-3 (suboptimal adrenal functioning)

 

A year ago, he used to eat exessive amounts of sugar every day. I started him a

no sugar diet to reduce candida issue, and he became passive and quiet right

away. I give him Chromium 400mcg daily, but he still needs raisins or berries

in

order to not become lethargic.

, thank you for your expanation regarding cortisol.  I understand that low

glucose happens first, adrenals are responsible to correct it, but they are not

able.

So, why the glucose becomes low? Is this a digestion issue? I also read a

recomendation try ZyCarb or ZymePrime enzymes.

For my son, it seems to me that glucose from complex carbs do not

get where it

is supposed to. And only very " quick " sugar from raisin approaches his body 

As

for protein, he eats a pound of meat every day, so much...No eggs as he is PST.

We start some nuts now slowly.  Everyone (internet) says that I should avoid

giving him sweet fruits,  and I didn't give it for about 6 months, but he's

becoming more and more lethargic over time and his attacks more frequent. 

Raisins and berries make him more candida-like - he runs, jumps and laughs.

Without them, he would spend all of his day laying down on the sofa in silence.

Another question, can sugar issue be caused by any kind of stress, intolerances

exc? Lately, he had two severe attacks, one after probation of Taurine. We tried

it maybe not slowly enough, he became miserable and I stopped it. He had that

hypoglicemic attack within next 24hours and after that his eyes were badly

swallen.

Second time it happened when I gave him a fruit-pear, that he used to be very

attached to last winter. I withdrew it for few months and tried to re-introduce

in order to check his reaction. And there was a reaction! After the first bite,

he almost screamed and never touched it again, he started running in the room,

stimming,  and there was another hypoglicemic attack next morning with eyes

swallen again. 

Because if these attacks were caused by toxins it means that sugar was always

low but adrenals still kept him functioning. And with some additional stress,

they just gave up and low sugar displayed itself. And the question is why

do we

target adrenals instead of targeting sugar? If there is an adeqate " flow " of

glucose then adrenals would be required to fight with stress?

I apologise if my question sounds too silly and shallow. I am just trying to

educated myself.

  

As for myself,  I took ADRENergyzer two times, half capsule each time. I took

the second dose in the morning, and in the evening I felt pressure in chest and

pain in the left arm. I cannot breath in enough air since then it is just too

" tight " . I am experiencing symptoms of de-oxigenation, dizzyness and still

cannot make a full breath. I am going to see a doctor.

Thanks for the info on others brands of AC extract. I heard that Thorne

has low dose. 

I would be very happy to hear your opinion about stress, cortisol and glucose

level.

Sincerely,

We use the Thorne product[50mg] for a 120#er. One in am and one @ noon. This has

kept levels more normal than a prior product that listed 250mg of adrenal

Hi ,

Thanks for answering my post!

We did test at the Genova Diagnostics. Cortisol reference limits were measured

in nmol/L. I am not sure if they used specific children ranges, for the low DHEA

they wrote it's normal considering his age. So, maybe the ranges they used were

actually for grown ups? I will contact the lab to clarify, thank you for

bringing this up!  

He loves cahsew nuts, and today I gave it to him. He's very happy and I do not

see any adverse reaction, not immediately at least. I kept his diet very strict

because has food intolerance test was all negative, so I didn't trust it, but

just decided to check all foods by exclusion. He was eating different kinds of

meat, and several grains for few months. Whichever new vegatable I give him,

his

stool becomes too smelly even with NoFenol. But now I give him 100gr of 

berries

every day and 10raisins daily.  So, we added cashew and I hope it will be good.

The only thing which concerns me is that I need to find a very good brand with

no traces of anything bad.

What fats does he eat. Try making vegetable dips with extra virgin olive oil.

Use avocados for fat. Butter - 

 

I give him olive oil. Avocados, he used to eat them, but they were not well

digested so I removed them.  If the vegatables are not digested well , I

understand that I shouldn't give them? His gut can only digest carrots,  all

other vegetables give a bad smell to his stool including berries that I have to

give him.

I am going to write to Genova.

Thanks a lot,

Hi !

 - yes, this was a salvia test from Genova Diagnostics Europe. The test is

called Comprehensive Adrenal Stress Profile (Saliva).

Thanks a lot!

I asked him to spit on the big spoon. He wouldn't be able to spit into the tube,

too.

was this a saliva test? What lab was it from? what are the units? Does it say

that the reference ranges are for adults or for children? (With the name of the

lab I can look it up)

Hi !

 - yes, this was a salvia test from Genova Diagnostics Europe. The test is

called Comprehensive Adrenal Stress Profile (Saliva).

Thanks a lot!
