Microdose Therapy Science and Clinical Trials


The science behind the hormone cortisol and Helen Foundation's application of it to treat inflammatory diseases such as Fibromyalgia and Arthritis.


Microdose Therapy™ works like your body is trying to work, but can't.

Inflammation strikes, due to injury, infection, allergy or stress The bodys natural cortisone pulse quenches inflammation Inflammation recedes, and the body returns to normal
Fig. 1 - Inflammation strikes, due to injury, infection, allergy or stress Fig. 2 - The body's natural cortisone 'pulse' quenches inflammation Fig. 3 - Inflammation recedes, and the body returns to normal.


When inflammation strikes (figure 1), your body allows short term inflammation to help heal itself - whether from injury, allergy, infection or stress. This initial inflammation is good and beneficial to your body, allowing the immune system to go to work fast.

Once the immune system has done its job, then, your adrenal glands produce a cortisone 'pulse,' (figure 2) a spike in blood level cortisone production which reduces the inflammation, and returns things to normal (figure 3).

We saw on the previous page how the body works to remove inflammation, and that short term inflammation is beneficial to the body's immune system.

Inflammation strikes again The weakened cortisone pulse cannot quench the growing inflammation Inflammation rages out of control
Fig. 4 -Inflammation strikes again! Fig. 5 -The weakened cortisone 'pulse' cannot quench the growing inflammation. Fig. 6-Inflammation rages out of control.


Figure 4 - Inflammation strikes with its classic symptoms - heat, redness, swellling, and pain.

Figure 5 - However, in some people, the cortisone 'pulse' is weakened. The adrenal glands don't produce enough of a cortisol spike in the blood to completely quench the inflammation.

Figure 6 - New sources of inflammation begin and flourish. In these cases, the inflammation grows and becomes powerful, long-term and destructive. Arthritis or another auto-immune disease develops. They all hurt, and they take your life away from you. At this point, you are in a raging forest fire of inflammation. There is little relief from all the pain, stiffness and fatigue, and slowly, you begin to lose hope.
