Going to try to heal adrenals on my own, a little scared...

HI all,

I've posted on this forum a couple of times but haven't gotten any advice yet - I think maybe my questions were too long to read, perhaps? Will try and make it simple now. After reading around on CZ I've been thinking. I've been on Dr Lam's adrenal program for 6 months.

I've given a lot of thought to natural vs synthetic supplementation. As you may know there's not a single supplement that Dr Lam recommends that is natural. That, and the fact that his family sells all the supplements, bugs me.

I'm going to try taking nettle leaf, ashwagandha, chinese licorice, and other calming adrenal-supporting herbs, and also amla for C and bee pollen for pantothenic acid.

But, I'm scared... of course half a year of talking to Lam's office every two weeks has ingrained their mantra in me that healing is VERY complicated with the adrenals, that if you feel good that could be BAD, you could be a step away from a crash, sometimes you need to heal as slowly as possible, etc, etc.

I'm not sure whether to believe this and if it is true, I'm not sure how to avoid crashing if I am to set out on my own with my healing.

All I know is I'm tired of feeling like Lam's office reads to me from a scriipt and doesn't listen to me when I tell them I CAN'T SLEEP or whatever the problem is.

I did a parasite cleanse a month or so ago that they were upset at me about because I didn't consult them first. They blame that now for me feeling so bad right now.
I was desperate to get my system detoxified - if that might be what was causing my sleep to deteriorate - but they told me not to cleanse my kidney or liver for a few MONTHS.
Meanwhile i have no idea if I am toxic or not!

Uny or anyone - I know healthyartist went from Lam to natural, I read the back posts - does anyone know the particulars and ups and downs of adrenal healing? I need some encouragement before I try and do it on my own! And opinions on toxic systems? Can these be paid attention to while the adrenals are healing or, as Lam says, is it ADRENALS FIRST 100% because they will be taxed by, pretty much everything else you do?

THANK YOU!
