Small pamphlet with limited information on the topic. I had expected a complete 'desk reference' with a lengthy history and background, description of adrenal function, well researched options of what works in terms of treatment, etc. But the pamphlet was missing a lot.

Compared with other books on the subject of adrenal fatigue, this one is short on background and theory and dry in its presentation. The subtitle tells us that it's a "Desk Reference," so I guess the point is to accept it for what it is. The best part, for me at least, is the second half, with a succinct summary of a large range of remedies, a description of what they do, and recommended dosages.
However, the truth is, I was disappointed. I expected more. Adrenal fatigue is largely unrecognized by the medical profession, so your family doctor is unlikely to be supportive of a treatment program. For this reason, I'm looking for good resources backed up by available science. Moreover, treatment is subtle and requires committed long-term changes in lifestyle, so I want books on the subject that are persuasive. I'm looking for a wake-up call that will convince me to commit to the program. This book fails to persuade.
