Really!?? This could be the most exciting thing I've heard in the past year. I've read Dr. Lam's articles multiple times over, and actually wrote to him. He wants me to call him. I am in stage 3D. A few questions for you...

1. What "stage" were you at your lowest?
2. How long did you have adrenal fatigue?
3. How long did it take for you to recover (for the most part)?

>>> Not Stage 3, but if you're typing this with your fingers and not dictating a la Stephen Hawking, you're not Stage 3 either, sweetbuns. I was probably a solid Stage 2. Do you want all the symptoms I had?

I'm 32 now. So probably from about 28 on. I had to quit my job. I'm probably 85 percent. And I've been drinking caffeinated coffee like an idiot the whole time, although I didn't today. I think I've stopped.

It probably took me two months to recover this far, given the various types of Vitamin C's Lam puts you on (you need all three!!!), and the pantethine form of B-5. To get your adrenal reserves up you need C and B-5, and getting them from food won't even begin to get you off the ground. That is akin to putting a 9-volt battery in a rocketship and expecting it to blast off.

The Lam people know what they're doing. It seems like a very tricky, exotic, unknown condition, because *your* brain is going in 5 million different directions a second, and you're chasing symptoms around on the Web, listening to idiots and sociopath healers (not to mention those idiot naturopaths) but it's honestly very simple to treat. C and B-5, no coffee, no nicotine...


I'm willing to invest money in anything that will honestly turn this beast of an illness around. I just feel like my case is so difficult. Especially if he is going to ask for dietary changes. Since getting adrenal fatigue, I've become intolerant of dairy, soy, and wheat/gluten, and the few foods I can eat are small in number. We'll see.

>>> Lam's not that expensive. The supplements he advises you to take (he doesn't sell them) cost a little more than a dollar a day. He'll probably charge you $250 for an initial consult and $75 for each phone appointment, which is every few weeks.

You need to eat good protein (organic, free-range eggs, free-range chicken), good fats (olive oil, coconut oil), and complex carbs like brown rice.

Take a deep breath. Call Lam, buy the supplements, and take them every day for a few months. You'll probably start feeling like yourself again after two weeks.

I'm in stage 3 and working with Dr Lam as well. If you have constant nausea, that is a late stage symptom. I have that as well.

As far as not finding success stories, one thing I bet happens is most people probably stop coming to these forums when they fell better. If you look around this forum though, once in a while you hear of people that feel much better than they used to.
