Re: How to balance thyroid & adrenals?
This is a very interesting issue, as the symptoms of low adrenals are similar to the symptoms of hypo T.
I have treated my thyroid and adrenals simultaneously; with iodine, selenium for the Thyroid and high vitamin C,Magnesium and licorice for the Adrenals + stopped / reduced my coffee intake.
Here is dr.David Derrys take on it
"David Derry Responds:
Dear Patient
From your description and temperature, clinically you are low thyroid and dead in the water. As the thyroid controls adrenal function it might be the reason your adrenals are not functioning normally. (1) Under normal circumstances, as the thyroid is corrected the adrenal function correspondingly rises at the same time. If you truly have low adrenal function and therefore the adrenals cannot respond correctly as the thyroid is given, then problems arise from this lack of adrenal hormones. Adrenal failure however, is quite uncommon."
"Although it appears that you have multiple problems, really, they could all be due to low thyroid. The problem of your adrenals may need to be addressed if you are unsuccessful with thyroid. If your physician watches you carefully then any problems can be avoided."
