adrenal explaination/Chuck

Chuck,

Does this make sense to you. This is from Janie at the Natural Thyroid group.

Judging by

my symptoms, it does make sense to me but what do I know..

Venizia, certain symptoms like sweating reduce when you lower the

Armour because you are also lowering the amount of thyroid hormones

which are pooling in your blood. But don't confused that fact with

thinking they are also now getting to your cells. They aren't. It's

like pouring water into a sink with a closed drain. If you turn the

water down (i.e. reduce the Armour), the sink won't be as full of

water. But either way, it's a sink with a closed drain.

Either cortisol which is too low, or cortisol which is too high,

prevents thyroid hormones from being received correctly by the thyroid

receptors on each of your cells.

There is less conflicting information than you realize. Everything you

read on the adrenal info page on STTM is based on thousands of folks

who have gone through it, Venizia. When they have a high free T3 in

the presence of continuing symptoms, they do the 24 hour saliva

cortisol test, and voila--there' s the low cortisol (and in some, too

high cortisol).

No one will bite your head off. But we will only hit our heads

against the wall so long. lol.
