I went to a naturopath in Edmonton for urinary burning, urine retention problem and fatigue mid last yr (I had it due to non-specific prostatitis which I had since 2005 - these symptoms have not dissapeared now, but they have reduced to a much tolerable level now). I was always never able to process cheese, beer, alcohol, cigarettes, milk products, and oily, fatty items. I had belching problems also because of this. So, the naturopath suggested to take Suppliments for the gut - Butyric cal-Mag, and M7+ enzymes and for the liver - NAG, NAC, Alpha Lipoic acid, Taurine, and new roots liver formula - he also prescribed antioxidants, multiminerals, multivitamins and CoQ10 - after a month of taking these, I started to feel much stronger and my urinary symptoms dimished, but my skin problems started to bother me - dry skin, itchy scalp - sides and back of the head, powdery dandruff, itchy abrasive sweat, burning skin - upper body, hairfall, and clothes irritating to skin. I went back to the doctor - he said that I am detoxing through the skin and asked me to continue the suppliments and asked me to take fish oils, vit E, and tea tree oil for scalp. After a couple of months of no relief, I stopped taking all suppliments and since then my anxiety levels have spiked due to work pressures, and skin problems. My skin problems are better since I stopped the liver suppliments, but all of the symptoms are there to a lesser degree. Around Dec 15 2008, when I cut my hair short, I discovered to my horror how much hair I have lost - that evening, when I slept and as I was waking, I got the fear sensation without my knowledge - the fear was similar to when seeing someone close to you die or when you lose your job, but nothing actually happened to trigger it. Around the same time, due to work and skin problems, my anxiety levels stayed high and this started to happen at a regular frequency- especially in the morning as I am getting up, heart palpitations, fear hormone is relased and throughout the day, I feel fatigued. I was also fasting - juicing diet - due to my skin problems and my anxiety increased severely. I went back to the naturopath and he asked me to drink fruit juice in the morning as I sense the symptoms coming and prescribed B complex suppliment with vit C (1000 mg), pregnenolone 30 mg, and adrenal cortex 50 mg. He asked me to stop fasting and start eating grains and eating regularly and he asked me to start taking enzymes for digestion. I am eating rice, veggies and meat and taking Licorice, Vit B complex with Vit C, pregnonolone, and adrenal cortex 1 each in the morning. I am not taking enzymes Right now, I am still losing hair, have dandruff, skin is still burning in upper half of my body, itchy scalp, still anxious and am afraid - fear hormone is released everyday in the early mornings and I feel it being relased little by little throughout the day and I cant control it even if I want to control it. I am extremely shaky when hungry, have depression, and my heart palpitations and fear symptoms happen till about 3-4 PM in the afternoon, with morning being the worst. I am practicing deep breathing 1 hr everyday - it is helping to a minor degree. Could you please explain what might have caused the hair/skin problems and adrenal fatigue and what I can do to help??
