I do not know what your point is iolite? Your body was responding to stressors by releasing cortisol in large amounts.
Do you have any idea what you would feel like if you didn't have high cortisol?
If you took a supplement that lowered inflammation, and therefor lowered the need for cortisol, you would feel good.
If you took a supplement that directly lowered cortisol, you would feel horrible.
There is a lot of confusion about high cortisol. Yes, exposure to high cortisol long term is bad for you and hurts your immune system functiong as well. But simply lowering cortisol directly does not help. We need to get to the source of why cortisol is high (inflammation), and fix THAT.
