And even some alternative practitioners did not know what to look for and just wanted to load me up with expensive supplements. I did not "buy into" James Wilson's "formulas" because I found that my body and nervous system were way too sensitive for "standard protocols" ie: multiple supplements. I had to basically find a way to customize a program, but am always open to different options and programs. Initially it took me 2-3 years to get past the acute phase. I seemed to be in remission, and then was slammed again and again... <br /><br />Wishing you all the best in your recovery!

I totally hear you on entire days horizontal -- for this type A person it's been a really abrupt adjustment. <br /><br />The big relief in finding this diagnosis is to understand all the heart-related sensations and dizzyness I've been dealing with for years were actually adrenal, so that's great. (If I had to do one more Allopathic medical test that came back fine or inconclusive...)<br /><br />But in terms of understanding the adrenals, the implications, and the appraoch to healing, the learning curve has been steep. <br /><br />I had heard of the James Wilson book as I was researching the past month or two, though I haven't read it. He apparently has specific supplement formulas he sells that go along with his approach. <br /><br />There is a different one by a Larry Wilson http://drlwilson.com/Books/balancing.htm (I secured a used copy from ABE.COM) specifically about nutritional balancing which I just finished. <br /><br />But the ARL site alone has enough overview articles that you shouldn't have to read that book in order to get a sense of the approach. <br /><br />Both Maria and I work with an acupuncturist who specializes in the nutritional balancing approach named Theresa Vernon. She also has some great overview articles on her site: http://www.tvernonlac.com/ <br /><br />Hope it's all helpful to you!StoneCutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09263638528182941648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1667634503350192165.post-53470052131373661442012-04-29T08:36:33.608-07:002012-04-29T08:36:33.608-07:00I can empathize here. I was diagnosed with "...I can empathize here. I was diagnosed with "adrenal fatigue" several years ago when I was "flattened." It took several years and seeing a Naturopath to actually figure out what was going on. At the time I read a book called: "Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome" by James L. Wilson N.D. PhD. Sounds like it has similar approaches to yours. But I am also going to check out your link to the Restco blog. I find my stamina levels still fluctuate, and there are many triggers. For me doing any kind of manual labor for a period of time can knock me out for days, or, of course, a lot of stress will do that too - which has opened the door to really looking at my chronic anxiety disorder. Still working on that one :)<br /><br />It also re-oriented my approach to life - as you mentioned - a more Daoist approach, as there are a lot of things I am unable to do anymore - which is also probably aging as well :) But it does take the focus off what I can achieve and accomplish in any given day; to stop pushing myself, and focus on what really matters. And, it has given me the opportunity to learn about just Being - and being okay with that :) On the good energy days, however, I still try to make up for the previous days where being horizontal was the order of the day :)<br /><br />"In the not doing, everything gets done" Lao Tzu<br /><br />BE Well :)Mystic Meanderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746429719911446865noreply@blogger.com
