> Lindsay suspected his body was producing too much adrenaline. He knew of a drug called Levophed, which is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to raise blood pressure in some critically ill patients. Levophed is basically an injection of noradrenaline, which counters the symptoms created by excess adrenaline.

This is incorrect. norADRENALINE is a more specific version of ADRENALINE made in different parts of the body (and which also acts as a neurotransmitter). outside of nerves, noradrenaline acts on alpha receptors which among other things constrict blood vessels to raise blood pressure (it is used for this in critically ill patients). adrenaline acts on the same alpha receptors, but also targets beta-receptors which have the effect of speeding up and increasing the strength of contractions in the heart (also used in critically ill patients with low blood pressures and whose hearts aren't pumping enough). Epinephrine is another word for adrenaline.

> As Lindsay delved into more medical literature, he found only 32 recorded cases of bilateral adrenal medullary hyperplasia.

I don't have numbers to counter this off the top of my head, but congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a rare syndrome, but still common enough that it is taught to every medical student and tested on our boards repeatedly.

obviously, im somewhat skeptical, but i guess that plays into his hands since I'm part of the 'establishment'. Hard to know without more medical details, which are glaringly missing from any stories I can find about him...
