Finn:

Yes, I do take something for my adrenals. It's called, "ADR" by PUR, you can get it online at www.emersonecologics.com.

Also, I HIGHLY recommend visiting the site: www.adrenalfatigue.com and reading the book by the same author, Dr. Wilson, called "Adrenal Fatigue the 21st Century Syndrome." He also has adrenal support supplements available and has a very good program you can follow by yourself (don't need a doctor to buy the products or do the therapies he recommends). I also recommend: www.drrind.com. Both sites are excellent in regards to addressing adrenal fatigue.

One must make lifestyle changes as well as adding the supplements. As you will see on the websites, in the book, everyone pretty much recommends no sugar (this stresses the adrenals and the thyroid, which are usually both not functioning properly), removing any toxins (including amalgams and chelation) and most important...REST! The website www.adrenalfatigue.com and his book are really, really good at helping one take one step at a time to address adrenal fatigue. It's not an overnight thing...takes time. As with most of us though, it's a combination of things.

I also recommend the saliva test, the one that tests your cortisol levels 4 x's during the day. This helped me understand where my adrenals stood. You may need HC or Cortef for a month or two if they are really fatigued. I did it for 4 months, a little long, but I got ill advice, now I know better.

Ater a year of therapies am I getting back to normal...still I feel the best when I am resting, chelating on a regular basis and basically following the recommended strategies of Dr. Wilson.

Hope this helps Finn.

Best to you,
