I suffer from low adrenal cortical insufficiency as well and read with interest what you had to say. My cortisol level was 247 mmo/l and the top end of the scale is 700.

Hi Liberty
Your article was very interesting indeed. I suffer from low adrenal cortical
insufficiency as well and read with interest what you had to say. My
cortisol level was 247 mmo/l and the top end of the scale is 700. I am
wondering about the raw glandulares you took ? what exactly were they if
you don’t mind sharing this information.

I have been following a hypoglycemic diet for the past 5 months as I was diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia this summer. Regarding low adrenal function, which I was told that I had, one of the blood tests that my endocrinologist ran was on my cortisol level. As far as symptoms go, signs of low adrenal function include lights bothering you, needing to squint outside more than normal, blood sugar problems (including hypoglycemia - faintness, lightheadedness, heart palpitations, there's more but that's some of the more frequent symptoms). As far as treatment goes, I and my endocrinologist both agree that following a hypoglycemic diet (see the books by Krimmel) which includes eliminating all forms of sugars, anything with white flour, starchy foods (potatoes, corn, rice, pasta), caffeine, and alcohol, as well as attempting to minimize stress, and including moderate exercise has helped me tremendously. Stress, high <!--more--> carbohydrate (starch & sugars) diets, caffeine and alcohol all cause the adrenal glands to be overworked and thus, lose their ability to function properly. My last bloodwork showed my cortisol levels to be at the high end of normal now and I am feeling much better. My kinesiologist also had me taking some raw adrenal supplements along with some other raw glandulars for about 4-6 weeks. All the B vitamins are extremely important as well. My endocrinologist had me stop taking the raw glandulars as he said my body would start to depend on them when it should be learning to work properly on its own. I must say, however, that the raw glandulars did get me over the hump towards a faster recovery than the diet was doing alone. Well, there's a long answer for you. Good luck on your road to health.
