Re: the touted arrival of Anticort

In reply to Cortisol connection, posted by jrbecker on July 2, 2002, at 2:21:57

Linkadge, Katekite, and all, thanks for the helpful info on the subject

Obviously, the first step for anyone of us who might be thinking cortisol is a culprit is to get tested to see how high our levels are. However, I'm told that anyone suffering from pseudo-Cushing's (brought on not by adrenal tumors but by anxiety/depression sequelae), the test results will probably register closer to normal or only slightly higher than normal levels of cortisol. In this case, can someone still benefit from Rx meds such as Ketoconazole or are the side effects (i.e., liver damage) not worth the trouble (in terms of the doc's perspective and our own)?

Secondly, how do anticortisols supplements like Phosphatidylserine (PS), Gerovital H3 (GH3)
and KH3 stack up against these prescribed drugs?

Lastly (sorry for the barrage of questions), are you anticipating the arrival of Anticort (Procaine HCl) after passing the FDA approval process. Will this new drug be a big step in the treatment arsenal? And when do they expect final FDA approval?

Thanks in advance for all replies.

JB
