Adrenal Fatigue testing and support

I was watching one of those commercials where a sad person is on the TV and then they tell you to call your doctor to inquire about some depression medicine and I wondered how many of those patients really have adrenal fatigue?

Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome, affects an estimated 80% of adults at some point in their lives. Yet, it is one of the most under-diagnosed illnesses in the U.S. Often, patients go from doctor to doctor trying to find out why they feel exhausted and sick. Too often they’re told that there is nothing wrong with them or, worse, they are made to feel like hypochondriacs.

Adrenal Fatigue was first described in the medical texts in the 1800's as a clinical condition. It was one of the most prevalent conditions, afflicting almost every adult in one way or another. Despite effective diagnostic tools and treatment programs, most conventional physicians were simply not informed of Adrenal Fatigue and not prepared to take Adrenal Fatigue as a serious threat to health. This condition was seldom diagnosed as a sickness for the past 50 years. Instead, Adrenal Fatigue was considered a condition whereby no treatment was available other than to tell the person to "relax" and take anti-depressants. This often makes the condition worse as the root cause is left unresolved. Over time, the condition worsens as the natural progression of this pathology takes its course.

Saliva testing is available for adrenal fatigue

Rule out food allergies as a cause of your symptoms

Natural remedies can improve some symptoms of adrenal fatigue

Some herbal remedies that have been noted as possible therapies include:

Rhodiola Rosea -- It enhances memory and concentration. It has been shown to reduce stress-induced fatigue and improve mental performance. (Contained in Rhodigandha)

Ashwagandha -- It has been shown to have a sedating effect on the body and helps to rebuild the digestive and nervous system. (contained in Rhodigandha)

Eleuthero Root or Siberian Ginseng -- It has been used traditionally to stimulate and nourish the adrenal glands and increases mental alertness. Eleuthero is considered an "adaptogen" which means it can help the body adapt to stress. (contained in Octovite)

Gingko biloba. (contained in Octovite)

Omega 3's (fish Oil) and Co Enzyme Q10. 30 mgs per day as an antioxidant. (See below for combo formula)

Green Superfood blends are good for their high concentrations of minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and micronutrients. (Green Cell Therapy)



Proanthocyanidins (grape seed extract) helps reduce the effects of stress. (Maqui/Resveratrol/Acai contains this as does Green Cell Therapy)

Lower Bowel Cleaner. This will help to assimilate nutrients better. (Acai Ultimate)

A parasite and yeast detox program

A good digestive enzyme with each meal. When the body is fatigued the digestion usually is impaired. (Digestive enzymes are contained in the Green Cell Formula)

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
