Adrenal Fatigue may worsen or progress to the extreme of Addison’s diasese. Approximately 70% of Addison’s disease cases are actually an auto-immune disease. The rest (about 30%) are called idiopathic (no known cause) but can be precipitated by events in people’s lives that severely impair adrenal function. Within this 30%, each factor that protects the adrenals, healthy lifestyle, food choices, exercises, attitudes, stress management and supplemental adrenal support has a tremendous impact on whether Adrenal Fatigue progresses to recovery or may cause the patient to eventually collapse into Addison’s. Many patients who are at the extreme end of A/Fatigue are “borderline” Addison’s patients, and there are of course many Addison’s patients who are born with severe or extreme adrenal insufficiency. They may well need steroids for life, but I have found many patients with Addison’s actually do very well ob the AF/Fatigue Program,
