I’m not Dr. Lam, but I’ve studied neurology for a long time. You should not experience anxiety if you already have a deficiency in adrenal hormones. The adrenaline production will help you have less anxiety, not more. Hypothyroid means your adrenal glands are NOT producing enough adrenaline and by using tyrosine you will be giving your adrenal glands what they need to make adrenaline. It’s the adrenaline that is the ”upper” not the downer. Cortisol is the stress hormone, not so much adrenaline. Take 500 to 1000 miligrams daily first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

Hi Dr. Lam! One study showed that zinc supplementation can lower significantly cortisol secretion. Do you think it is best to stay away from zinc then during AF? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1702662 Zinc acutely and temporarily inhibits adrenal cortisol secretion in humans. A preliminary report. In summary, the zinc supplemented group had a 41% greater reduction in cortisol levels compared to controls. The fact that zinc inhibits basal cortisol secretion in humans may be related to a direct blockade of cortisol synthesis and secretion in the adrenal cortex.   [End]

HGH secretagogue comes in various forms, from simple amino acid stacking formulas to releasing factors. Other than amino acid ones, the rest are not recommended if there is a cancer history. there are many other ways to increase HGH, from large muscle exercises to pro-hormones that are over the counter.   [End]

Dr. Lam, you and other AF specialists mention that unexplained hair loss could happen. Apparently, the mechanism of such hair loss is different from traditional. People mention that traditional hair loss remedies aren’t effective at all. What is the processes behind AF related hair loss?   [End]

The first doctor who correctly diagnosed Adrenal Fatigue was a homeopathic doctor. However, his treatment plan did NOT work. Well, there was some improvement in the very beginning. His remedies helped me with insomnia and depression. At this point all the improvements stopped. In your opinion, could homeopathy be effective against AF? Thanks, Klauss.   [End]

Hello, After using secretagogue hgh supplement from IVL for only one week, I felt great, full of energy and life. I stopped using this product recently because I just found that it may increase the risk of cancer and is not recommended for those with a prior cancer diagnosis. I am 64 years old, about 10 years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and I had a prostatectomy. My PSA levels are zero and thankfully I am doing well. I would like to know if it would be okay for me to continue these supplements since they gave me such a sense of well-being. Please let me know. Thanks.

How long could the withdrawal symptoms last? (my energy level has remained good and my avg daily temp is 98.3) Thank you   [End]

If we use the Samento full-spectrum extract of Cat’s Claw, instead of an ordinary extract, how should we adjust the dosage—particularly for hidden infections? (For example, do we divide the dose by 10?)

your situation is complex. the oily skin is likely to be an estrogenic / testosterone effect triggered by vitex. there are many other issues involved still. it is not possible to tell you whether you are on the right track or not, as there are many others quesitons unanswered in the totality of the picture.

Dr. Lam. Upon possibly trying DHEA ( interestingly, my Fibro. Fatigue Dr. said to try this) would 5mg. make much of an increase in my other hormones ( sex hormones )? I am already on natural estrogen and progesterone cream, so concerned about not wanting to raise these. Would the side to DHEA ( 7-Keto) be a better choice? Thank you. Paulette   [End]

Ligaments, cartilages and joints are all part of a unit when it comes to the skeletal support system. When one part goes out, the other are affected. When you use clutches etc, that can sometimes put excessive strain on the part of the body that is well, and can lead to rotation of pain - as the weak part heals, the stronger part becomes weak. Vitamin C can be helpful to rebuilt collagen, and MSM etc can help reduce pain. DHEA in small dose can be considered ,but a body may be sensitive to it in Adrenal Fatigue, so do be careful. The mechanism is try to enhance cortisol production. ...

It make sense to recommend that if at that point, the criteria and parameter fits for a temporary stop gap measure along with proper protein and fat. We do not advice people to not eat at all but just drink rice milk as their only source of calorie. Raw milk and raw egg is always excellent for good health. Most people are not as fortunate as you to be able to get them fresh esp raw milk which is not allowed to be sold in many states. Glad you are doing well and all the best   [End]

Please explain to me how butter can cause obesity issues? How does that work exactly? The only way to store fat is with insulin, and dietary fat does not stimulate insulin. And as far as heart disease is concerned, dietary fat (saturated especially) has nothing to do with it except that people don’t eat enough. Saturated fat insulates nerve cells, and is a part of bone structure, blah blah blah. To top it all off, it is the type of fat implicated with heart disease. PUFA’s to be exact comprise over 70 percent of blockages. Exessive carbs stimulate exxessive insulin which stimulat ...

The use of progesterone, especially in pea size minute dose that is well below physiological dose, is for a specific reason at this time. Hair loss is not common, especially in this low dose, but given your body’s unexpected events due to external issues and ensuing sensitivity, it is not unusual. I have reviewed your situation in order to find out more info as what you presented is incomplete. Unfortunately, the missing pieces contain personal information about you, so I will not go into details in a public forum. Do not be alarmed. Dorine will explain to you next time.   [End]

The longer you are on glandular, generally the harder it is to come off. The more advance your adrenal fatigue, the more we see this as an issue. symptoms of withdraw can include anxiety, agitation, depression,fragile emotional state, worsening fatigue. But there could be other reactions as well, and each one is different. what happens to you may not happen to another person.   [End]
