Half of them were the same tests like tsh,cbc, enzymes, etc. There were a few that i haven’t tested, which is always exciting because you just want to figure out absolutely anything thats wrong. He’s making me take an acth test bc the last test was with a dr that knew nothing. I also have an aldosterone test. (dont know what its actually called) i havent done any of the tests o ...

Hi Brazilianguy, ... ...

I have been researching for the last year issues with my health and my daughter’s health that all circle back to the adrenals. As you may know, stress of any kind (medications, food allergies, environment, personal issues, etc...) start to overload your adrenals, which we need to survive. For example, If you are detoxing off meds, that would again be another form of stress. Adrenals pump more and more to ”survive”/”out run” the current stressor. ”They” do not know the difference between an allergy or medication ...

It’s basically like this, fat and sugar don’t mix well, so you either have to go low-carb/meat-based or low-fat/plant-based. Coming off the SAD diet, either of those diets should make a person feel better and if someone was calorie-restricting on a plant-based diet, the higher-calorie meat-based diet is of course going to start making them feel better. ... ... I personally think low-carb/meat-based will cause problems in the long run as a lot on here who didn’t eat a plant-based diet properly got better after going low-carb, but are now starting to develop problems on it.

Hey Hawksfan, ... Awesome! I know what you mean by needing a break from the forums. It can be draining as the quest for healing takes your mind in so many directions with all the different info you get here. Invaluable for sure but sometimes taking a step back is necessary to get moving forward instead of second guessing every time we read something new and wonder if we should be doing that instead. ... Focus is key here. ... Take care....rest well....you will heal. Looking forward to reading your posts again when you return. [End]

Do you eat protein and carb. together or at different meals? From what I have read, it says you have to eat high protein and high healthy fats and low carb. diet during adrenal fatigue recovery. out of your 2500 Calories, have you ever calculated how much calories are you getting from protein, carb and fats?

It’s worth giving the Wilson’s diet a try for a few weeks to see how you get on, especially if it is so different from your current diet...but include some protein with your main meals - don’t just have cooked veg - i too get hungry an hour later on just veg! ... ... I would be more mindful of exactly how much fat to carb ratio you are getting. The reason Wilson doesn’t include avocado/nuts/seeds in the slow oxidiser diet is because when you’re only source of protein is meat - you will be getting a high ratio of fat alongside the protein ratio. He says a ratio of 15% protein while only 6% fat - ...

Excellent point. I was wondering same thing. I have always been very skinny and hardgainer. Eating plenty vegetables is healthy but it’s not a good source for complex carb and protein which are essential for body. Whenever I eat full plate of vegetables alone, in next hour or so I get hungry again. It just doesn’t satisfy my hunger. This makes me wonder if i should follow Dr. wilson’s diet advice or not??

I think Wilson’s diet suggestions are FAB for anyone trying to lose weight - but if it’s weight gain that is needed, the diet is far too low in calories. ... ... Vegetables contain few calories - even a plateful. I love all veggies and was actually eating the ratio’s that Wilson suggests for a slow oxidiser even before i got the hair test results...eating those ratio’s for at least 2 yrs prior to crashing. Although cooked vegetables are considered high in carbs - they actually contain very few calories in comparison to complex carbs. ... ... Obviously someone working in an office compared to a lands ...

Marie, ... It sounds like you went through the honeymoon phase when you were feeling good. I think that’s pretty typical but now that your body has more energy it’s probably putting it to good use doing some deep healing. ... ... I can relate to the sleep thing and I was told that’s typical in four lows. You feel wired and tired. My practitioner told me to take a little more calcium powder at night if I need it and that seems to help. I’ve had insomnia off and on since last July. I try to do whatever it takes to get some sleep even if that means medication. It’s not a great option,but I really fe ...

Hi Marie, ... ... My crashes usually involve profound fatigue. I will spend most of my days on the couch and often feel weak. Lately I think I must be retracing because I have gone back to nausea, diarrhea, and some weight loss. But it’s not as bad as it used to be and I can feel myself starting to come out of it. The crashes often last for several weeks at a time which is frustrating when I hear others telling of symptoms coming back for just a couple of days. But my husband experiences the same thing so I guess that’s just how it goes for some of us. [End]

Hi Onedaysoon, ... ... I will, but like I said, right now I am so frustrated. I did NB for 1 year and I saw great improvement to the point I felt the best I ever did. I took 6 months off big mistake and thought I would be able to do the rest on my own. ... ... Since starting NB again, I have crashed 3 times...unless it is related to detoxing. I know I am releasing high amount of allumiun thou...so that may be the case.. I think I will get a re-test just to see if I dumped anything major. ... ... I am thinking too that I may be starting to dump some more stuff. Been waking with a intnese head ach ...
