Hi,
I have some doubts on the 'adrenal fatigue' or H-P-A disconnect. From the article
When energy fails: Edema, heart failure, hypertension, sarcopenia, etc.
" While stress typically causes the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, extreme stress, as described by Hans Selye, damages the adrenal cortex, and can cause the cells to die, leading to the death of the animal. There is evidence that it is the breakdown of unsaturated fatty acids that causes damage to the adrenal cortex in extreme stress "
So, basically since the adrenal glands have very high regeneration/streaming rate so, partial adrenal damage goes out of the picture, right ? But liver has also very high streaming/regeneration rate and yet people have partial liver insufficiency, elevated ALT/AST enzymes all the time. So, Now just like hypothyroidism is generally described as high TSH and normal T3/T4 levels, what does this indicate ?(does this indicate a malfunctioning thyroid gland due to nutritional deficiency, toxins, halogens replacing iodine/selenium deficiency etc or simply an overactive pituitary) .
Could partial adrenal fatigue also be described by high ACTH and normal cortisol etc. In theory, can some kind of nutritional deficiency/high free fatty acids/toxins(whatever they may be) also cause this partial adrenal damage/burnout ?
Has anyone here ever corrected their high TSH without taking any thyroid hormones/ steroids simply by diets+minerals+vitamins ?
@haidut ,@Amazoniac , i know you are busy folks but any idea ?
