Speaking of cortisol, did anyone here get to the bottom of why it can be so high? How does one deal with subclinical Cushing's syndrome?
Peat seems to give little attention to serious infections, yet there are so many of those, I wonder how to find out what it might be... Since supplementing thyroid and lowering TSH below 1 doesn't really fix inflammation in my case, I wonder where else to look. Things keep getting worse. Intestinal hemorrhages, thus constipation, vaginal inflammation with no serious cause identified that doesn't go away making it impossible to have a sex life. My cortisol is through the roof too often, I am easily overwhelmed with everything life.
If there is some underlying undiagnosed infection, anyone having luck and persistence tracking it down? If cortisol is protective against inflammation until a certain point, is it really safe to use drugs/herbs that lower it? Wouldn't that infection dominate you to death?
Any personal experiences and studies are so appreciated.
