Most medical drs. do not test for this-they test for adrenal gland failure-which is life threatening. This is different, it is adrenal gland fatigue, where the glands produce a high amount of cortisol caused by stress...then the glands wear out & start producing too little of cortisol,dhea,insulin...this also makes sense, because I have had low blood sugar for about 20 years. The good thing about alternative medicine is that use different tests than mainstream drs -like the saliva testing. If you are asking your regular dr about it, let me know what they say about it, I would be interested. My naturopath dr. said most do not believe in saliva testing, also the normal# test results range with medical is not the normal for alternative, that is probably why I have always been told I am healthy? I have been so tired for years-I mean non-functioning tired-awful & worse than pain for me. The treatment is B complex with b5 & many other vitamins contained in it like thiamine, b12... & also freeze dried adrenal cortex? -I think it comes from sheep or something- not sure about that? anyways it is about 10 vitamins/pellets a day for 6-12 months(start today) & then the glands go back to normal, but in the meantime I should start to feel better quickly, I am hoping. God Bless
