Sluggish Adrenals?

 Several times in the past, I have needed adrenal stimulants despite overactive adrenals.  Usually, the reason was detox.  The need for the stimulants didn't last long and soon, I was back on the suppressants.  Sometime soon, I will compare my performance on the modulator versus the stimulants.  I would feel safer on the modulator not knowing for sure where my chemistry stands.  

Why might it be real this time?

I have read that toxic metals, specifically Aluminum could have been the driver of both the sensitivity and the excess adrenal activity all along.  In other words, if not for the toxic Aluminum, which has likely been there since childhood, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED!   If true, words cannot express my anger.  If I beat this now, it's too late.  Even if I wasn't healed until early adulthood, my life would have turned out very differently.  

There is a different feel to it.  In the past, the shift to stimulants came suddenly and seemingly inexplicably.  This time was different.  I initially needed MORE Thym Adren as the adrenals spiked after solving a major problem.  The slow down was gradual.   I didn't develop an intolerance to all pills that lower tissue Na overnight.  For example, I found that I was marginally slower on 6 pills versus 4 so I reduced the dosage.  However, if I cut those pills too quickly, I had problems.  Another time, I was significantly faster on 3 pills versus just 1.  

Eventually, I was slightly better without the Thym Adren and switched to the modulator.  That said, I still needed Mag to get the Malic Acid to work.  It wasn't until just about two weeks ago that I began to see intolerance to Magnesium and then Malic Acid last week.  

I haven't even tried Thym Adren recently but I am nearly certain that it would trigger a relapse.  It's not just Magnesium and Malic Acid that cause problems.  I had the same reaction to Zinc.  What do all these pills have in common?  They all lower tissue Na!  Pretty strong evidence of sluggish Adrenals.  My only explanation is that my system overshot the balance point.  I was overactive for decades and now apparently I am not.  That's a bit of a shock.  In THEORY I should eventually reach equilibrium but it takes time.  

I want to try Liver and the modulator but most likely, it will be stimulants for the near-future.  It's highly unlikely that I will be able to run 13 miles by mid-August but I'm open to the 5K in San Diego.
