Re: differing doctor opinions on salivary cortisol

I agree with the previous post.

A close female friend had saliva cortisol test results like yours. Her life was consistent. She was functional in the morning including light exercise, but was fatigued in the afternoon.

She had been receiving thyroid medication with some benefit from an endocrinologist for over ten years. however she had a list of low adrenal symptoms as long as your arm but he never tested!

I did not realize this until I got involved in the heavy metal detox groups due to my lead problem. I saw countless reports, especially from females that matched my friend's symptom list.

My friend has responded well to adrenal support including a little hydrocortisone. She gains unusual weight around the middle on more than small doses. She does surprisingly well on pregnenolone.

Overall the adrenal support plus detox (Cutler protocol ) and related supplements have been quite helpful to her.
