It works
I have been sick for years and years, and finally decided I was done with that. I switched to amino acids, and a serious, all-out program to help me get rid of the adrenal fatigue that was ruining my life. It is slow going, but every day I feel better.
I have a bunch of products that I love and use, including Dr Lam's breathing exercises, rosea rhodiola (spelling?), GABA, licorice and ashwaganda tea, l-tryptophan, l-theanine, vitamin c, 5000 vitamin D, methyl B12, and do-phenylalanine for occasional pain. oh, and I am also on the GAPS diet.
With all this I was really feeling almost like my old self, but just couldn't quite get past that point of really feeling good. So I added this Seriphos a couple weeks ago. At first I didn't know when to take it, but then I got it figured out, and it has put me over the top. I now sleep, and wake up feeling pretty good. But, I also don't feel all wound up and stressed out before bed, and I can handle almost anything now without completely crashing. I used to be down more days than up, and now I only have one or 2 down days a month, and have energy, and stamina.
So, this is how I use the Seriphos: I take one around dinner time, just before I eat. I then take 2 at bedtime. They don't really make me sleepy, they just make me not want o get up and fix everything wrong with my life right at bedtime, or in the middle of the night, of I wake up. Instead, I now actually handle things during the day.
If anyone would like more specific info about all I am doing, feel free to contact me. I did all this work it should help others. Oh, and don't fall for any of those things that offer you the world for just 39.99, or whatever price. All this info out there is free, or reasonable. The only things I paid for we're the actual supplements and the Dr. Lam breathing exercises, which have retrained me how to breathe, and weren't too much.

Well, I have been asked to write about what has happened to me since I last wrote this. My health has taken off. It was pretty slow at first, but now I have energy, and I am getting out there in the world, and doing things. I am actually starting a business now, walking and caring for dogs, which I never could have done without this and all the products I wrote about. The things I found most helpful were the adrenal yoga, and all the advice on Dr. Lam's web site, this product, which I am still taking, and a wonderful product that I can only find at my local health food store, called adrenal balance.
I am also taking a whole lot of amino acids. I am also drinking salt, yes salt, several times a day. I put in in lemonade, so I don't taste it. My body adrenals love it! I am also really pushing the animal fats and protein. I have a shake each morning that is probably 1000 calories, and I have energy throughout the day. I eat bacon and eggs. I basically do all those things that we have been warned about by the main stream medical community, but which are literally saving my life.
If anyone wants specific information on all the things I have taken and have done, just respond to this. I do get the messages, and now that I am feeling better, I can actually answer them!
Thank you
As of March 2015: I am off and running, I have started my own dog walking business and it is thriving. Sorry to all the people who wrote asking for more information. I just have not had the time to respond to everyone. I am attaching a list of the supplements I am now taking which have and continue to help with my adrenal fatigue. Yes, I still have it, and sometimes I have to stop and just rest. I have my life set up so that I can sleep in it the mornings, which is necessary for healing. I get my daughter up and out the door then go back to bed. It really helps me to maintain he crazy life I have created without crashing. Yes, I still take, and need this supplement. Of all the things I take there are only a couple that I can't live without, and this is one of them.
