Re: Natural sun, natural minerals, relaxation, natural diet can cure

That's true. In fact, in early Stage 2, one might even feel better than normal, when your body is pumping out above normal levels of hormones.

When I look back on my early 20s, right up to about 33, I was clearly wired. I had the reflexes of a cat. Clearly stuck in sympathetic dominant mode.

But I felt great, was super active

At the gym that called me the ant, since I could lift so much weight. Probably because my adrenals were pumping out higher than normal adrenaline (epinephrine).

I could handle any amount of stress. Literally felt almost super-human in my early 30s.

Theeeeen the slip into stage 3, when the adrenals just can't keep up anymore.

Cortisol is still high for a while, but other things will be low (progesterone, aldosterone, etc.)

Back in 2003, when I crashed, I didn't need to use antiperspirant anymore ... I stopped sweating. This is a symptom of dehydration, which can happen with low aldosterone.

Yet saliva showed sky high cortisol, and even blood test showed at the very upper end of the reference range.

It is more complicated than just laying on a beach to recover from this.
