                        Irving---Take DHEA 25 mgs--2ce aday  it's what our adrenal glands produce tokeep cortisol in balance.  If you take it with 500mgs calcium, 100 mgs phosphorous, 250mgs magnesium, Co enzyme Q-10 50mgs, 300 mgs MSM, 400 mgs  MIXED tocopherols- E, and 1000mgs flax-seed oil.  All natural things that are   depleted by our all-american diet and lifestyles, and further by illness and chemical medications.  Stay away from sugar, sweets, white breads, caffiene, and ESPECIALLY LICORACE!  Licorace is a plant form of cortisol!!! the LAST thing we need!  I know you're a man, but, I learned more about cushings in the book Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom  by Dr. Christiane Northup, M.D., than from my own Dr.  She also gives other sources of info.  Good-luck!
