Phoenix Rising: The Cortisol Edition
Thursday 16 October 2008
Phoenix Rising is an informative newsletter put out monthly by American CFS suffererCort Johnsonon his website CFS Phoenix.
You can subscribe to the newsletter as well as download each issue.
The latest from Cort is the September 2008 edition which focuses on cortisol:

Here is Cort’s introduction to The Cortisol Edition:
Welcome to the Sept. edition of Phoenix Rising. This month we focus on cortisol - the most studied substance in the disease. Because cortisol plays a role in so many facets of the body from the stress response to immune regulation, abnormal cortisol levels could cause alot of mischief. But do they in ME/CFS?
In this newsletter we go from Dr. Holtorf's claim that cortisol levels are lower than we think to CDC findings suggesting that low cortisol may be the straw that breaks the camel back in women with CFS (but not men!). But what to do about these low cortisol levels? That's where the real controversy begins.

A new section appears in this edition; Snapshots of Success - these are quick takes on whats working for individual ME/CFS patients.
There's a lot coming up; interviews with Dr. Chia and Dr. Friedberg, a focus on the Whittemore Peterson Institute and a special edition: "Cracking the Foundation" on the startling and groundbreaking work the Pacific Fatigue Lab is doing.
