NATUROPATH DR UPDATE

The naturopath dr was very interesting & motivational.  Very easy to talk to & not pushy at all. We spoke abt my health history the last few yrs, analyzed & summed up the chain of events.  He found it noteworthy that I was diagnosed with Celiacs Disease & abt a yr later active Lupus set in.  He noted that a human's digestive system is a major part of your overall immune system hence Celiacs Disease being a digestive ailment..........The adrenal glands naturally produce Prednisone(although it's not known as that).  He feels that when they started pumping me with Prednisone, Methotrexate, Plaqenil, etc., that my adrenal glands might have felt - OK what's going on here, obviously we're not needed right now & they took a vacation or got lazy so to speak.   But my rheumy started to cut back on the drugs & it's possible my adrenal glands may still be on strike.This doc wants me to start taking Licorice Root, Vit B5 & Vit C to help balance & stabilize my adrenal system.He did 2 blood tests I've never hear of to analyze if I have any other food sensitivity/allergy which could be causing the digestive/bowel imbalance.  They have to be sent to Seattle for processing.  If, and thats if, I undertood correctly it's a shorter version of typical allergy tests.So now I see him in a month for the test results and to review if the Licorice Root, Vit B5 & C are making a difference.So this sums it up, overall intriguing & it sure got me thinking on a different wave length so the next month could be interesting.
