I only have a problem with posts with unknown users asking only how to reduse cortisol and being told what to do, with no information.
Cortisol is the flavor on this month, but
it has wide effects on many of the most basic
life functions. It can kill you if you have too much or not enough. At one point it was a cure
for depression. It is very effective, till you
go psychotic, damage your optic nerves, lose
a lot of bone, get an infection and your body
cannot bring it under control, ect. I can't recall
if the cortisol like drugs cause cancer, but many
harmones can.I have about 15 years experience on being on
cortisone, first by mouth and later by injection
once or twice a month. Celestone, Decadron LA, and Kenaloge. I know them all. At least 4 years
of 24/7, 356 use of Kenaloge at the end. I am now
about 4 years off this, and have lost some bone
but may not of damaged my optic nerves. I was not
as selective with docs or informed at first so a stupid doc withdrew me too fast and I went into adrenal crisis. Then there was the fun time I was given too much and cleaned the house with a toothbrush for 3 days, without sleeping.cortisol is a dangerous drug if there is too much or too little and the only way to know is to test.
To poke around with the cortisol levels without
knowing 1) a lifetime of knowlage of endocronology
2) tests, one is playing with fire.
