If my adrenals are stressed do you think I should absolutely stay away from chocolate? I know it has a little bit of caffeine in it but it seems like it does me some good to eat small amounts of high quality dark chocolate

A small amount of dark chocolate occasionally is not going to be a problem.

I do very well on all of the herbs that you mentioned except ginseng. It tends to make me very hyper and a little bit wired. Even the Siberian ginseng which is less intense than the other types.

That is odd that you would react to Siberian ginseng that way.  Siberian ginseng is not even a true ginseng.  It is only referred to as a ginseng due to its adaptogenic properties.  Just like suma ("Brazilian ginseng") and ashwagandha ("Indian ginseng").  And most of the ginseng we get in the health food stores is garbage.  The high quality roots are about $600 a pound so the Chinese keep these.  What they export for encapsulation is the root bark and rootlets that would otherwise get thrown away.  This is another reason I prefer jiaogulan, which is 7 times higher in sterols than Panax ginseng giving you more strength at a much lower cost.

 helps with dr schulze info

HOWEVER the dr christopher adrenal formula is very good because it adds nutrients to the pituitary and heart naturopaths say heart needs strengthening when adrenals are boosted gotu kola nourishes the pituitary maca nourishes the hypothalamus

ashwaganda addedto this helps the nourishment of adrenals
the irish moss seaweed also helps rebuild internally like more yin for its minearals the iron in dlse helps with circulation and oxygenatin and strength iron deficiency is a big issue and affects the tissues inthe colon making them more susceptible to the infections - i had this big time the kelp and kombu same same also some wakame ito wakame is a strengtheniner helps the strength and kills the fungus and weakens\reduces the bacteria

Most of these ingredients are not even in his adrenal formula. From the Christopher site:

http://www.drchristophers.com/capsules/adrenal-formula.html

Ingredients: Mullein Leaf, Licorice Root, Eleuthero Root (Siberian Ginseng), Gotu Kola, Hawthorn Berries, Lobelia Herb, Ginger Root & Cayenne Pepper.

By the way combining lobelia with ginger IS NOT recommended. Lobelia can be toxic but the body will normally vomit if to much is taken. But ginger suppresses the vomit centers in the brain preventing the body from throwing up an excess of lobelia, which can lead to respiratory failure. There is probably not a lot of lobelia in this product, but if people take something else with lobelia this could be quite dangerous. Especially if the person has a chronic respiratory issue such as COPD since many of these herbs are used for some respiratory issues.
