Hi Linda

My meeting with Dr Peatfield…..

He was astonished & extremely complimentary about what I was already doing. At one stage he stopped me and said “but why are you here? You are doing all the right things already!”

I have recently read 4 adrenal books back to back so I know what I’m talking about….just I don’t have any first hand experience.

He said Liquorice, Himalayan salt, maca powder, d-ribose, Vit C, COQ10, ACE etc…., diet and life style changes I had already made where perfect.

The temp graph showed how bad I was and how much better I was getting due to the above supplements and this gave him lots of information on what was wrong and what do to next. I was already doing 90pct of the right things. Its important for me to know I’m on the right track.

He confirmed what I though was most wrong…which was adrenals and anyway….adrenals get treated first.

However I have reached a plateau. My temps where not getting any higher, they where stablER but still struggling when stressed and my fatigue and lack of energy remain, even if they where not as bad.

He told me the thing I had got wrong was the dosage and the timings of ACE (Adrenal Cortex Extract). I was on way too high a dosage and way too quick ramping it up and that’s the reason it made me feel weird and had to stop taking it. he said my target dosage of ACE was 200mg which should be reached over 4-6 weeks. Starting at 25mg for 7-10 days…then 50mg for 7-10 days etc until 200mg or whatever depending on symptoms. when I dosed myself I was up at 200mg within 2 days and that’s why my body could not cope with all the extra thyroid….errr….thyroid stuff.

We talked about Cortisol and lots of other hormones I could take, but he said I was already responding well to what I was taking and the next step was to get the Ace right. If that doesn’t work….then will be HC but he said looked like Ace should do the trick.

He said keep him posted on email from now on…….

He didn’t’ recommended any other supplements because I’m already taking them.re megadosing…he said I’m so skinny it was obviously what I should be doing….

For the record my cortisol levels are “awful” and way too low.

As I said money well spent.

Edit~: yes he does do telephone consultations, but when I talked to him on the phone initially he said the first appointment should be face to face….but depends where you are

Edit edit: he didn’t reply to my email. I had to get him on the phone, once I got to talk to him, I made an appointment there and then and it was fine.
