Lila,
since you are not currently employed, could you use this time to reduce your activity and your stress? Could you get as many hours of sleep per night as your body will allow? Can you nap during the day and get off caffeine? Shy of supplements, a whole foods diet can be affordable with vegetable soups, salads, beans, tofu and other vegan protein sources (assuming you are vegan). Sometim

I will definitely ask her about isocort before another script is given. Do you have any comments on depression and adrenal fatigue? It's always been difficult to know what comes first, the depression or the AF. Depression is sort of a secret of mine. I fight it with all my might, try so hard not to give in to it, but the truth is, if I could get some relief then perhaps my energy would increa

PL, after my ACTH stimulation test we will discuss cortisone therapy. I will look into that particular one.

Prana Your experiences of breaking caffeine addiction and getting your priorities straight to the end of being much more healthy and happy have been very encouraging to me.
I think labeling ourselves and putting percentages on our food consumption, at least for me, makes me go buggy. It also makes me feel really bad when I step out of the imaginary cage that I make for myself...for instance d

Hi Prana...I have to give you my firsthand personal experience with Powerlifer.
First, let me just say that I wholeheartedly agree with you that people should put their health and well being ahead of materialistic pursuits. I have always tried to keep things in perspective with regards to providing for my family physically, emotionally and spiritually. It can be a real balancing act.

I take 10 mg of DHEA daily, and my blodds levels do not go up. I can only tolerate walking for 20 minutes at a moderate clip, sometimes not even that. My muscles are very week and I hope that getting my testosterone levels up will help me to tolerate more so that I can be stronger, and honestly, more sculpted.
I use coconut, olive oil and avocado.
Fruit agrees with me for the first part of my

I have taken low doses of DHEA for a long time now. I have read that a short term stint on some of these hormones can give the glands a break, but as you said, long term can be detrimental.
I found a thereapist who specializes in relaxation techniques and i'm going to try her, what do I have to lose? Life just seems to happen too often for my stress levels to lower for enough time to heal.

Frustrating isn't it? The lack of knowledge especially regarding nutrition in the medical profession is just incredible.
Years ago I had debilitating skin condition. I was very, very sick and my skin was so broken out in open wounds on my hands that I could not go to school as a teen. That's what started my steroid use. It was the only thing doctors could do. Every time I went off them, my

I am actually sheduled for an ACTH stim test. My doc will prescribe cortisone if the results are positive for AI. I don't want the medication, but I have insurance, so I am going to have the test done to see what it says. I already have confirmed low DHEA, cortisol, testosterone...The article is a good explanation of why I do feel my best in the evening. It kind of sets me up though, because

I've wondered about the green pans as well. My understanding is that toxicity becomes an issue only when the pan becomes scarred, for instance with a metal spatula. Make sure to only use a silocone utensil with it and you'll be better off.

PL, would you say that a person will not notice an immediate affect from adaptogens, but rather, a better response to stress over time? How much time does it take for one to realize the benefits of taking them?

Yes he is quite a trooper that boy. And yes, all my labs point to adrenal insufficiency.
I have been in that sypathetic dominant state for many years. Always waiting for the other foot to drop so to speak. A stressful situation, any kind of adrenal response can debilitate me physically for a day, although I am getting better with this.
I have learned a lot and could chat with you for hour

I have eaten a whole foods diet my whole life. Even though SAD my mom alway made homemade foods. We did not eat packaged food or processed foods. Then at age 15 I began a macrobiotic diet targeting leaky gut and food allergies. As an adult, we have always eaten far, far better than anyone I know. Fruits, veggies, smoothies, water, dark greens, whole grains, sea veggies, supplements, etc...No

I struggled with leaky gut and after a strict wheat and corn free diet for a few years I could tolerate it once agian, but and have slipped back in to consuming it but of course, have gotten carried away and the old symptoms are back and so I've been eliminating it once again and notice a drastic improvement in my degestion.

I'm interested in knowing more on specifically the area where the article mentions the "gluten-glue" the adheres to our intestinal lining as it passes throught the intestinal tract.
It makes sense, and I'm positive I have an issue with wheat, but I'm looking for something a little more scientific. I will get to the Mercola link. Can this "glue" be seen in a colonoscopy?

I saw instructions that said to peel it first and cut into matchsticks, then soak, changing the water periodically until it was clean before cooking. Very medicinal for the lungs. Not the best tasting.

I went to my first hot yoga class last weekend. I am a total convert! Only problem is that it is not offered anywhere near me...I was visiting family in Lake Placid...so I am going to go on a mission to find someone to get it going in my area. It was realaxing, stress relieving, cleansing, meditative, aerobic, and I felt I was sculpting every muscle. And I loved the heat...loved it! 105 degr

I tend to be the same way and i've figured out that often it is because of gut issues. I am always looking for something to put the fire out in my belly. I will think, Maybe if I eat this or that my belly wont burn. What has helped me is structuring my meals better. I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. When I allow myself to graze I dont give my belly the rest it needs and then I have discomfor

I eat as many raw fruits and veggies as I can and when I can't or chose not to I try to make great healthy choices. When I stray into sugar and other yuck foods raw foods always seem to be the thing that centers me again, sort of washes the slate clean and lets me start over. If you are naturally an all or nothing person, maybe having a plan in place for when you can't or don't do as you'd hope
