Paulette,
I remember reading one of your past posts that you were uder Dr. Lam's coaching. Reading your posts now, seems like you are not, based on what you said you are taking right now. No way he will allow you to take adrenal cortex at your present condition. Just like you, I was taking adrenal cortex, Vit. C w/ bioflavonoids and panthotenic acid before. After I explained all my symptoms to him, he told me to stop them and take something else. True enough, my hypoglycemia, lightheadedness and anxiety are mostly gone. I'm not quite there yet, but I am a lot better than before and at least I can go to work 5 days a week now.
You said you are looking for an MD that practices alternative medicine. To me that's Dr. Lam. If Dr. Lam can not help you, who else in this world can? I've been under the care of 2 ND's who only made my condition worse.
Are you sure you're following the basic things to practice to strenthen your adrenals? Like, going to bed early and staying up late, taking
Sea Salt , taking nuts that are soaked overnight, staying from negative thoughts, avoid over-exercising, diet, prayers, eating raw foods, deep breathing to fight stress, etc. I believe these little things help based on my experience. I say, try to forget about your bad past experiences (death in the family, foreclosure,etc.) for now if you want to help your adrenals. If I were you (just like Dr. Lam told me) forget about doing another saliva test casue you are just wasting your money. You know already that you have weak adrenals already, what else do you want to know or prove. Unless you have that much money to burn. Save that money to buy your supplement or pay Dr. Lam. These are just my suggestions. Good luck!
