Thanks everyone for answering some of my questions. I'm currently only attempting the diet part of NB till i get my mineral test results which I'll post.
So far i've been doing the diet for about a month - and i do find that it's quite good at controlling my insulin issues. However, if i hit that part of the menstrual cycle where my adrenals are at their weakest, i can only tolerate small amounts of any food. But i'm sure as my adrenals and hormones recover that will change.
I'm also currently taking zinc, magnesium, B5, vit C, selenium and fish oil as supplements. Till i get my lab results. When your adrenals are down so is your gut and I've learned the hard and very expensive way, that no herb or supplement stays in your body when systems are down. So i've cut back on how much supplements i take, otherwise my body rejects them all. In fact weak adrenals makes your body reject everything, reason why we become autoimmune i suspect, it even rejects itself!
Also in relation to detoxing - I've tried everything except I haven't tried enemas but currently I do take some ozonated water occasionally but even that is a bit strong for my body and I get dizzy spells and skin boils - obviously it's working ie detoxing but not good for adrenals. My NB practitioner who has organised hair mineral test advised that he doesn't agree with Dr Wilson on coffee enemas, apparently he also thinks they are too strong on the adrenals and should only be attempted once adrenals are definitely ready. Suppose this is what Onwards was referring to about the infrared light sauna also. Tx that confirmed my suspicion about it also - do when adrenals stronger.
Detox is something that people with AF should be very very careful with. Even a class of heavy breathing yoga (a year go when my adrenals were really shot) sent me to bed for a week - breathing is a form of detoxing apparently. So water enemas sounds like a logical good alternative, Tx Onwards.
By the way those of you taking Lugols Iodine - BEWARE it also detoxes your body, and as such is so very harsh on the adrenals. In addition, like thyroid meds, if your adrenals are not strong to begin with anything that stimulates the thyroid suddetly will have consequences on your adrenals making thyroid condition worse after a few weeks. I learned this is when i also first took Lugols same effect as when i first took Thyroxine - great for a while and then big CRASH, worse than before taking anything for my thyroid. It was the start of the end for my adrenals. And even two drops of Lugols sent me and my mother into Hashimotos hell - never had it before trying Lugols. It's a way too strong way of administering iodine, IMO.
Anyway, on another note/question - Is anyone trying the carrot juice that Dr wilson recommends? - I've done carrot juices and the sugars in them just sent my insulin levels skyrocketing. And damn I can't seem to fit that many veges into my daily diet, I have a hard time eating anything in the mornings let alone a dish full of veges.
