Which Adrenal (Or other) Product to Buy, MH?
Hi MH,
(I have purchased several of your products in the past and plan to use all future herb budget money available to me (on your products alone) in the future, wasting no money on weak products that do nothing. I respect your work.)
I need a little advice on choosing the right formulation for my husband.
He has a worn-down feeling he deals with most of the time. I worry that years in the military (along with the vaccinations we were not aware you could decline at the time) has taken its toll and he does not seem to be doing well. He has no energy. He tells me his fatigue is not helped by sleep, and he feels worn-out all the time, especially after required military physical exercise. I have read that being tired after exercise indicates adrenal fatigue, and he seems to have most if not all of the other symptoms. He has little ability to deal with stress and avoids all avoidable human contact now. He only leaves the house when absolutely necessary. I have also witnessed his mood swings over the last 11+ years of our marriage, which have been helped by 5htp in the last 6 months. I used St. John's Wort on him, with some success, but switched to the 5htp. He has dealt with much anxiety and some depression and mania.
He has pale skin that burns easily, so it is hard to get him outside for much sun. He is open to taking any herbs you recommend, so the herb taste is not an issue. My young son has been on your Kids-B-Well for over a month now, and if he can drink it, nobody should complain about the flavor of anything, since my 5 year old can handle it. :)
I also bought a bottle of the Oil of Oregano you sell.
I want to help him as much as humanly possible. I am watching my husband waste away, and it gets a bit worse at time goes by, with a 31 year old man acting like he is ready for the rocking chair. Soon I am worried he will either succomb to cancer or die, etc or just become a hermit because of his lack of energy makes him un-social. The times he has energy, he is a different person, kinder and sweeter, concerned and, well, NORMAL. If he had energy, he'd be a different person, and it would help him, our family and marriage a lot. I am 30, and I want to have many more years with him. I went to your store (oldfashionedspices.com) and looked up adrenal formulas, of which you have several. What product(s) do you suggest? (I broached the subject of your 40 day orange juice thing, but while he is in the military exercising every day, my husband says he cannot do the fast because he needs protein. He gets out of the military next year and I may remind him to try it then. We will see. Baby steps.) I am willing to research anything and read anything to help him. I thought I would start by asking your advice first. You seem to have a lot of experience and know what to do.
*My apologies for the long post*. I needed to get all this down. Thank you for your time.
