Adrenal Gland Exhaustion

http://jeff.benton.net/glands.html

Adrenal Gland Exhaustion and Ligament Stretch Syndrome. Do you often need a cup of coffee to kick start your day? Do you have a lagging cough or a slight cold that just doesn’t go away? If you can’t start the day on your own, or can’t seem to get healthy despite all the rest and medication, chances are you have run down adrenal glands.

Many people suffer from stressed-out, tired adrenal glands, a very common problem. The typical symptoms can include fatigue, headaches, pain and aches, inflammatory conditions (problems that end in "-itis, like bronchitis, dermatitis, colitis, etc.), low blood sugar, rashes, swellings, allergies, asthma, and numerous others. In fact, low adrenals often cause, underlie, or aggravate many health problems.What are the adrenal glands and what do they do?The adrenal glands (also called suprarenal glands) are pint-size glands that sit atop the kidneys. Despite their size, these organs are very busy regulating many reactions in the body. Most know these glands as our "fight or flight" glands. When we get frightened, these glands produce adrenaline which turbo-charges our muscles to move!

One of the less famous yet most important duties of the adrenal glands is its connection and management of blood sugar regulation. You see, these glands produce cortisol (also known as glucocorticoids) – a hormone which tells the liver to produce more glucose in the liver and release it into the blood stream to increase blood glucose.

The adrenal gland also produces mineralcorticoids which tells the kidney how much water to retain.They also produce special hormones that STRENGTHENS our ligaments so they hold our bones together.PROBLEMS OCCUR WHEN THESE GLANDS ARE OVERWORKEDWhen these important glands are over-worked and stop working properly, problems ensue. Do you have an inflamed joint that doesn’t heal? Do your joints make lots of clicking noises? We must have properly functioning adrenal glands in order to ensure that our joints and connective tissues are strong and stable.Chances are that your stress glands are so worn down that they cannot produce enough ‘glue’ to hold your joints together properly.

When your adrenals are run down to this level, we call this condition "ligament stretch syndrome"This problem gets its name from the effect it often has on the joints. When the adrenal hormones are so low that they leave the joints and ligaments (tissues that hold the bones of joints in place and allow for their movement) undernourished, a person will fail a test from Applied Kinesiology, the chiropractic specialty which developed muscle- testing as a diagnostic method. When patients don’t pass the simple muscle test, you know they really have hit the toilet bowl of adrenal gland exhaustion. You know that they have decreased function, and reduced hormone output. Besides finding any number of the typical low adrenal problems, the ligament stretch patient, tends to have other special symptoms. A "ligament stretch syndrome" patient tends to also have extreme fatigue. Furthermore, because the joints are poorly nourished with specific hormones, the patient may feel that they cannot perform normal physical or athletic activities. The result is a fear of injury. "I can't play racquetball," or "My joints will ache" or "I can't work out," or whatever. These migrating multiple pains can cause a person to be so careful of physical activities, that both family and friends think they're losing it. The patient may consider that they are becoming a hypochondriac; the little things that shouldn't cause pain, make him/her miserable. And they don't heal well,The patient may feel constantly mis-aligned or out-of-adjustment. But he/she also complains that chiropractic adjustments don't "hold". Even worse, adjustments have hurt them (a good adjustment doesn't hurt a patient without ligament stretch syndrome). So they feel a need for an adjustment, but what's the use? I need one, I can't have one...what a hassle.A terrible hopelessness affects half of these patients. They feel that they can never get well. It's a hopeless type of depression. Their inflammatory conditions can be horrible. Patients with fibromyalgia (the horrible pain in joints and muscles) almost always have "ligament stretch syndrome"; as do people with severe auto immune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Headaches can be of the more severe migraine type. Poor immunity and frequent colds or infections can result.What a mess! These patients are the doctor's and chiropractor's nightmare until the research uncovering ligament stretch syndrome was discovered and explained.Until then, these patients had no hope of healthThe treatment for this condition is specific. The patient must take the correct adrenal nutrient for them every waking hour, at first. The adrenals must be "kick-started" in this way or they usually won't "wake-up" at all. The average patient will complete this hourly dosage in one week; some will take longer, and some shorter. When they finally pass the ligament stretch test, they've graduated up to terrible adrenals! At this point, however, adjustments become painless and more helpful, but more adrenal repair is needed.This patient must learn all the information on low adrenals and low blood sugar, and do everything possible to help them repair, and eliminate all things possible that tear them down. Diet, stress management and supplementation are among the useful things.With the breakthrough of understanding the diagnosis and treatment of this condition, some of the most tortured patients that ever cross a doctor's door can be miraculously helped, brought to a high level of well-being.

ADRENAL FATIGUE

http://www.drlam.com/A3R_brief_in_doc_format/print/adrenal_fatigue.html

Signs and Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue

Tendency to gain weight and unable to loose it, especially around the waist.

High frequency of getting the flu and other respiratory diseases and these symptoms tend to last longer than usual.

Tendency to tremble when under pressure.

Reduced sex drive.

Lightheaded when rising from a laying down position.

Unable to remember things.

Lack of energy in the mornings and also in the afternoon between 3 to 5 pm.

Feel better suddenly for a brief period after a meal.

Often feel tired betweeen 9 - 10 pm, but resist going to bed.

Need coffee or stimulants to get going in the morning.

Crave for salty, fatty, and high protein food such as meat and cheese.

Increase symptoms of PMS for women; period are heavy and then stop, or almost stopped on the 4th day, only to start flow again on the 5th or 6th day.

Pain in the upper back or neck with no apparent reasons .

Feels better when stress is relieved, such as on a vacation.

Difficulties in getting up in the morning

Lightheaded

Other signs and symptoms include:

Mild depression

Food and or inhalant allergies

Lethargy and lack of energy

Increased effort to perform daily tasks

Decreased ability to handle stress

Dry and thin skin

Hypoglycemia

Low Body Temperature

Nervousness

Palpitation

Unexplained hair loss

Alternating constipation and diarrhea

Dyspepsia

Important info below...... : D )

Mineralcorticoids such as aldosterone modulate the delicate balance of minerals in the cell, especially sodium and potassium. It therefore regulates our blood pressure. Stress increases the release of aldosterone, causing sodium retention (leading to water retention and high blood pressure) and loss of potassium and magnesium. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. When the body lacks magnesium, it will suffer from a variety of pathological conditions such as cardiac arrhythmias, uterine fibroids and osteoporosis.

My pleasure Patty ! I hope that it

helps put some insight into some of the

strange things in peoples lives. I dont

think that people realize that even the

added stress of listening to the news

and all that is going on around them

puts added stress on the adrenals.....

I limit my exposure, I must keep my private

space my perfect world, that is partly how

I still exist !

Thank you, my sweet Angel:

You are always so helpful, and we love you for all of the information that you send us. This is great, because I have many of these symptoms. My Synthroid dose is very low, and that will be discussed today.

I will write to you when we get home. will warm the car, because I sure do not want to end up with pneumonia again. Take care of our Angel and have a happy day.

We love you so...Lea and Superman
