Hi
@heapsreal ;
Yes, increasing HC with any sort of suspected infection helps, or rather, prevents worsening of symptoms and infection.
As you know, cortisol, in healthies, is supposed to increase with any sort of infection.
My pituitary hardly produces ACTH, thus, no cortisol. ( I may never learn of the origin, but I'm pretty sure it was from infections translocating from oral and sinus areas. Can only guess. Father had AI symptoms, many infections, many high doses of HC.)
In the past, I was able to only increase HC to battle most infections, but now, I'm having to add abx. Herbals used to help. Sometimes, I combine herbals with abx.
Hot mess, no fever.
