My experience for what its worth.
I have had several on Lupron and made sure I gave my little girl Luna a 100mcg shot of lupron each January since she was born, hoping to head off her becoming adrenal.
She is now 3 years old, and adrenal. They all get the right light conditions, a good diet and still all 6 are now adrenal.
To be honest I think they will become adrenal no matter what you try to do to prevent it, its just sad, but true.
[People's experiences vary quite a
bit from home to home. We personally
have only about 1/3 of ours develop
adrenal disease in their life times.
