Btw I just want to pointed out that in advanced stages of adrenal fatigue the body has very low or basically zero ability to retain sodium due to very low or basically zero aldosterone and if you do "7) Electrolytes magnesium potassium chlorides. . " you will crash really badly. Most webs about this issues like for example Electrolytes & The Adrenals - Metabolic Healing are correct. I can confirm this 100% from my expirience. At first when stress horomones and also aldosterone is high. Gbolduev and his "Electrolytes magnesium potassium chlorides" is correct. Because your sodium is high and you are loosing potassium and magnesium. They are opposing to sodium so you need them replenish to balance this. But if you don't replenish them and your adrenals become weaker. Your stress hormones will drop along with aldosterone. Now you lose all your sodium, your blood pressure will drop. Now you are low not just in magnesium and potassium, but also in sodium. Now if you in this stage add more potassium and magnesium you will completely crush your sodium.. Now it is to late add a lot of magnesium or potassium, because you are constantly low in sodium due to low aldosterone. So unless you don't fix adrenal production of aldosterone. You need to eat and add to your water abundance of sodium and be very carefull with how much potassium or magnesium are you taking. I was doing this wrong for maybe 3 years with wonder why the fuck magnesium or healthy potassium rich foods make my so sick. Low blood pressure, low blood volume. very dehydrated. Btw I was eating sea salt all the time. But obviously it was not enough to offset magnesium and potassium I was eating.. I was also using mag oil on the skin or in hot bath. Omg I was dry like beef jerky.. If you have high stress hormones, high aldosterone with high sodium. Mag oil on the body and a lot of potassium rich foods is great. But if you are to late like I was. You can basically add salt. Other electrolytes will make you crush big time..
Gbolduev if you have different theory. I would like to hear it. But I am 99% sure that this is what was happening to me..
But you are constantly talking about low potassium. Which is not happening if you have low aldosterone and constantly low sodium... I just want to help others. That they will not make the same mistakes like I did. I am sure that I am not the only one with bad stage of adrenal fatigue and low aldosterone..Electrolytes protocol has ALL electrolytes in it. Not magnesium and potassium.

I am saying in case of adrenal fatigue and low aldosterone. A lot of people have trouble with this. But you are not talking about aldosterone at all. So I just wanted to point it out.. Nothing more. This post was not against your protocol. I am just adding info. That's it..I was talking about potassium for PFS. read the protocol. I suggest salt loading for PFS for people with low sodium. read number 7. LOL
I see that your are also PFS. I do not understand what it does in the body. Gbolduev is much better in this. But if you have symptoms of low sodium like low blood pressure, dehydration etc.. you should add sea salt to taste on your food and into your water. Also don't drink if you are not thirsty...I have adrenal fatigue, i should not take potassium or magnesium? My sodium is low too
Well my thyroid is not working and I do not blame thyroid. Off course it is very complex. But the reason why people can't retain sodium is due to low aldosterone which is produced in the adrenals.. Off course you need to fix everything from posture to gut health. So the adrenals can produce all the hormones again..Might be me getting it mixed up but looks like all this has to do more with the liver than with the adrenals and more with the stomach and small intestines than with the liver.

I don't wan't take any hormones. Exactly like gbolduev is saying. It is not good. The only good reason is if you have damaged organ. So you have no other option. But otherwise you are artificially changing biochemistry and then you can't expect from the body to work properly.I have adrenal fatigue. I can't eat a lot of salt or my right eyelid swells up and I look tired. Have you tried adrenal cortex?

So right now for myself I am hoping that HCL will clean lymph system, will make digestion work and molecular hydrogen will reduce oxidative stress, will increase SOD, blood flow etc.. So the liver can finally work. Which will result in better adrenal and thyroid function and now can everything work much better heh..
So it is not adrenals from pigs only some minerals, vitamins? ok..
lol so it is thyroid from animal= hormones...No, bovine adrenal cortex processed so hormones are removed: iherb.com/r/Thorne-Research-Adrenal-Cortex-60-Capsules
