Re: Adrenal Thread
Another good reference is "Safe Uses of Cortisol". Written by William McK. Jefferies, this is the reference used by progressive practitioners in the treatment of non Addison's adrenal insufficiency. His work is the source of that AM cortisol value being near or over 30 and the cortisol doubling after ACTH stimulation. He also treated many patients with low dose hydrocortisone.
Testing labs have no credibility with me. I have no idea who they are using for their sample population and the state of health of same. Those so-called healthy subjects may well be declared healthy, yet they have the same issues we discuss here. For example, I have yet to see that perfectly vital and virile man with the total T of 190ng/dl.
