Re: Beck and adrenals

Yeah, I've got the Sota BT-7. It's helpful for feeling mentally calm, balanced and having a more positive outlook, but I don't think it's essential. I wrote about my experiences of it here:

I agree that removing the underlying causes of adrenal fatigue is the most important thing, and yes, hopefully the body will right itself once it's given time to rest.

I think that ultimately herbs like Rhodiola and Siberean Ginseng are just a transitional, temporary crutch that help you stay functional when you need to (i.e. to actually make a living and pay the bills) and to manage stress better. They're not a complete solution, for me at least.

But they can get help you get into a better frame of mind, and be a useful support, and they're much healthier than relying on stimulants like caffeine. And some herbs, like reishi, can definitely help you calm down a heightened stress response, which is a key part of recovering from adrenal fatigue.

Personally, I felt awful the last two weeks, which directly correlates with doing the Beck protocol intensively. I was absolutely crashed out with fatigue and body aches and wondering how on earth I was going to get the work done that I needed to do, and whether I should cut down on the pulsing, but I've been keen to keep going and to push through it.

Thankfully, the last couple of days I've finally come through the herxing, and am feeling much more able to get on with things. So it seems as though part of my fatigue symptoms are definitely connected with microbes, and fingers crossed this'll be the beginning of a lasting change for me.

Hopefully you'll notice something similar after a week or so when you give your body a break from the protocol!
