Heres some info taken from a few different sites:

-------------------------------------
Diseases and disorders

* Hypercortisolism: Excessive levels of cortisol in the blood result in Cushing's syndrome.

* Hypocortisolism, or adrenal insufficiency: If on the other hand the adrenal glands do not produce sufficient amounts of cortisol, Addison's disease is the consequence.

IS IT POSSIBLE WE HAVE CUSHING'S/ADDISON'S SYNDROME WHICH IS CAUSING EC?

----------------------------------------------

Regulation

The primary control of cortisol is the pituitary gland peptide, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH probably controls cortisol by controlling movement of calcium into the cortisol secreting target cells.[33]. ACTH is in turn controlled by the hypothalamic peptide, corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH), which is under nervous control.

-----------------------------------------------


Cortisol is normally produced by the adrenal glands, located just above the kidneys. It belongs to a class of hormones called glucocorticoids, which affect almost every organ and tissue in the body. Scientists think that cortisol has possibly hundreds of effects in the body. Among its vital tasks, cortisol:

* helps maintain blood pressure and cardiovascular function;
* helps slow the immune system's inflammatory response;
* helps balance the effects of insulin in breaking down Sugar for energy; and
* helps regulate the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

One of cortisone's most important jobs is to help the body respond to stress

MUST READ INFO:

DHEA COULD BE WORTH TRYING

----------------------------------------------------

IF THE GLANDS THAT RELEASE/PRODUCE CORTISOL ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY IT SEEMS WE SHOULD TRY TO FIX THEM, THIS WOULD BE MORE OF A "PERMANENT CURE" RATHER THAN GETTING PILLS TO REGULATE THE CORTISOL PRODUCTION. THE MAIN THINGS THAT CAUSE HORMONAL IMBALANCES ARE HEAVY METAL POISONING AND TOXIC BUILDUP.

CF, I COULDNT FIND MUCH ON THE RELATION OF SKIN PEELING AND CORTISOL BUT MUCH OF THE INFO I READ STATED CORTISOL CAN CAUSE 100'S OF DISEASES AND HEALTH PROBLEMS.. STRESS HAS A LINK TO VIRTUALLY EVERY HEALTH PROBLEM.

HOPE SOMEONE FINDS SOME USE OF THIS INFO

WHAT DO YOU GUYS MAKE OF DHEA?
