Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I struggled for months/a couple years with adrenal fatigue brought on by parasite infections that did not get proper treatment, so they lingered for a period of about 6 years. My adrenals tanked as a result. This product was the key in igniting my process of healing and recovery from the parasites. I was on both meds AND natural supplements for 7 months before adding this adrenal cortex extract; I had some minor results, but nothing dramatic. But with this product, wow, FINALLY, my immune system is in the fight! Hallelujah! I have learned over the past few months of using this product (started Jan. 2019, now it is May 2019) that patient experience is such an individual thing. I started off at the recommended starting dosage (according to the STTM gurus, see below...) and tweaked as I listened to my body and my symptoms. For me personally, I was able to do 2 caps in the morning (3 made me overstimulated), 2 at lunch, 1 at dinner, and 1 a half hour before climbing into bed (abbreviating this dosage routine as 2-2-1-1). After a couple months, I was able to back down to 1-1-1-0.5. (I tried to do 2 in the morning to mimic the nice curvature of cortisol highest in the morning, and it was overstimulating me). Results were seen within days of starting this product: Lightheadedness on standing quickly - gone. Salt craving and needing to up unrefined salt intake - vanished. Blood sugar much more stable, can go longer between snacks. Due to stabilizing blood sugar, no longer waking up at 3 am with an adrenaline rush due to blood sugar dropping during the night. Fatigue gradually melted away (you may need to be patient, there was an immediate improvement in energy, but took some weeks to get my full stamina back - yes, back to pre-illness energy and stamina!), Hands and feet are warm again (this is taking a little longer to be consistent, but yes, warm almost all the time now!). And it's hard to describe, but my hands feel "filled out" again when I make a fist - like my body is finally able to hold on to the electrolytes. I'm sure my tissues are thanking Thorne ACE. But the best of all: Outlook on Life Revived! Feeling like my old self emotionally and spiritually, and this started changing for the better almost immediately when I started taking this product January 13. February 18 onward it's been great. And the parasites are dying!! (How do I know this? ****TMI ALERT: skip down to the next paragraph if you have a weak constitution - TMI ALERT. Dead worms seen in the toilet after taking de-worming meds.)**** Always keep some of these with you when out and about or traveling, and always have a snack on hand. Tell your loved ones about your cortex and where you keep it. Do not miss a dose, especially if your adrenal function is quite low like mine was. Early on in using this, if I missed a dose, I was in bad shape - nausea, shakiness, confusion. A couple times I had to have help to get my cortex because I thought I was going to pass out. I highly recommend ZRT labs saliva cortisol testing, DO NOT SKIP THIS. You will be glad you did. Read the books: Stop the Thyroid Madness (chapter 5-6 on adrenal fatigue and some guidance on how to dose this product; also google STTM and read a bunch of info for free online AND HOW TO INTERPRET YOUR SALIVA TEST RESULT), and also the book Adrenal fatigue : the 21st century stress syndrome by James Wilson. I was able to check both these books out of my local library interlibrary loan. I hope my story can be helpful to someone else. Feel free to leave a comment. Blessings!
