Re: Has anyone ever been helped by adaptogens...ever?!?
Where is Dr. McHaney located? I wanted a local practitioner so I could show up at their office and they could see how blood shot my eyes looked despite the fact that I was wired to the gills.
I jumped the gun and called a practitioner that is close to my work. It concerns me that he hasn't been doing this very long and there is some link to aura and astrology stuff on his website. Astrology is interesting but I don't want someone to go off into ether world either when trying to explain my health. I want some concrete answers. The only thing that made me feel better was that he was going to consult with Dr. Wilson regarding the lab results I recently had done. Do you think that's okay or should I still call McHaney?
If you don't mind my asking...how bad was your condition and how quickly after beginning the program did you start to see results?
You mentioned waking up and wanting to clean the house...LOL! I can relate except for me now I wake up and feel anxious. Either a nightmare will happen or I will wake up in a panic and want to start pacing out of worry.
The guy who ordered my test thinks that copper was my problem although not now b/c I was given progesterone and that made my copper ratio very low compared to zinc. That has been my problem. On paper, it looks like the obvious solution to an Estrogen Dominance problem would be progesterone but for me it isn't. I actually feel more agitated on progesterone...like nerves eating my stomach...
Has your sleep improved? Is the program very difficult? Were you able to exercise at all? Were your adrenal issues more fatigue, hyper adrenaline or somewhere in between?
I am just worrying that past results skewed my test so the plan of action may not be accurate for what is really going on in my body. I emailed the labs to this practitioner and am waiting to hear back from him.
Please share some of the details of your symptoms and how quickly Nutritional Balancing was able to help. I am hoping that someone is able to piece the puzzle together. On paper...it makes logically sense why my adrenal implosion happened but the supplements to fix it haven't worked. I was beginning to lose hope and that this was my new normal.
For once...i want to know what it feels like to feel sleepy. To yawn in the middle of the day or want a cup of coffee or feel like it's 10:30 and I'm tired and it's time to go to bed instead of feeling propped up by anxiety or adreneline. Or be able to exercise without my body going into acute stress and my knees sounding like Saran Wrap the next day...Oh how I wish!!
