I came across something today that might interest you about licorice root. If you use it you should use the deglycerized variety. I found some pretty affordable stuff at Swansonvitamins.com . You could find it other places too.
"Licorice root has been enjoyed over the centuries as a candy, but it is also an herb with medicinal properties. "Licorice root increases the half-life of cortisol—the adrenal stress hormone—inhibiting the breakdown of adrenal hormones by the liver. As a result, licorice is useful in reversing low cortisol conditions and helping the adrenal glands rest and restore function. "But the bulk of the research with licorice lies in its digestive benefits. When talking specifically about deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), has been shown to cleanse the colon, ease constipation, and treat GI disorders such as colitis and diverticulosis. DGL has even been found to help speed ulcer healing, ease abdominal spasms and pain, and reduce intestinal irritation. "Aim for 300-600 mg of licorice root daily, with meals" DGL Licorice Root Extract Item: SWH154 Swanson *$6.89* Size: 385 mg 180 Chwbls (should be good for 2 months supply according to the above) On Mon, Dec 16, 2013 at 9:22 PM, Lena Guyot <drumr...@stny.rr.com> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > For several years, I have used Bezwecken's IsoCort to support my adrenals > that had been pretty much fried by decades of Lyme.
