I have seen strange things happen in medicine, and when they say "it can't be done" who are they to say these things? I have seen Addison's patients do extremely well on the AF Program. I would recommend the Mild Program, and stay with one tablet (of the three) three times daily with meals, but take the Adrenal Rebuilder at least four times daily with meals. Give yourself six months and let me know (and the readers of this website) how you are progressing. I think you will be impressed with the improvements, and so will be many others. The burning question to me is ....why did you develop Addison's ? If you can address the cause you will be in a better position to cure the problem regardless of what the "experts" say. Kindest Regards, Eric Bakker ND Hi Andrew,

I take 5mg prednisone daily and 0.2mg fludorcortisone daily. Can my adrenal glands be repaired by natural therapy with Dr Wilson's adrenal rebuilders? Cheers, Andrew I have had addison’s disease since 2004 and it is most likely of auto-immune origin.

Bear in mind that 5mg of Prednisone is equivalent to about 15mg of Hydrocortisone. You will find it more difficult in many cases to convince your doctor to "switch you over" though, as Hydrocortisone is more expensive and has a less anti-inflammatory action than it's more powerful Prednisone cousin. So, to answer your question - yes, I'd prefer the patient on Hydrocortisone as it is less "devastating" side effect wise than Prednisone, and it is easier to step a patient down due to its less suppressive nature. I have patients taking Dr. Wilson's Adrenal Rebuilder whist on Hydrocortisone doing very well. You can step them down slowly and eventually take them off the Hydroc., albeit slowly. Once you hit the 5mg "wall" of Prednisone you will find it very difficult. Hope this helps, Eric Bakker ND Hi William,
