Adrenals

[Guest guest]

I'm going to get myself some Rose quartz post haste. Having weak

adrenals, I come alive at night and falling asleep is often difficult before

the

wee hours.

A, I would love to know which homeopathic remedies you take for adrenal

support. I have access to a homeopath and can get anything. Do tell, please?

Hi all,

A couple of key points about re-vitalizing the adrenals.

One is from Dr. Bob Marshall, brilliant medical sleuth who has a

radio program and sells high quality products. He emphatically

states that in order to re-build adrenals, one absolutely must

get five straight hours of sleep a night, within your bedtime

sleeping span of time. That is, if you are in bed eight hours,

then five of those hours you must be sleeping, or AT LEAST

not getting up, or even lifting your head to look at the clock.

And you need to do that at least 5 out of 7 nights every week.

Also, rather imperative to retire by 10:00 pm too. Ugh, I know,

who wants to do that, but those little adrenals like it.

So, if you need to arise several times a night to urinate, best not

to take liquids after 4:00 pm or so, or whatever works for you.

He has a wonderful adrenal support product, which I don't buy

because it's too expensive for me. But I have been taking

Gaia's adrenal support formula for years now and f-i-n-a-l-l-y

my adrenals are spiffing up. Dont' get dizzy anymore from

standing up from reclining position (one sign of adrenal fatigue),

and have a quicker recovery time from really knocking myself

out (like multiple days off getting up much earlier than usual

for conferences). It has taken, and is taking, much much longer

than I had hoped and really have patience for.

I think a lot of the AF products, like the glandulars and such, can be

helpful, but also can just prop up the adrenals and not really refurbish

them.

Adrenals love nettles. Get the loose stuff and make an infusion, simmering

(not full on boiling) 20 minutes, steep 10, strain. Lots of minerals, and

good

for bones, too.

I wholeheartedly agree with Giles, too, about doing QiGong. It is probably

the easiest, cheapest, most efficacious thing that we can do to tonify our

body's energy system, build stamina, and increase resilience. I'm banking

on it curing me of ES (after I get these pesky amalgams outtta my mouth!).

Dr. (Mehmet) Oz even said so on Oprah a few years ago when she asked

when what he thought the one thing people could do to improve their health.

This is the link for thyroplus, which  should only be prescrived by

a practioner. The rational behind it being that by balancing the thyroid, you

supposedly take the stess off of the adrenals, as the the adrenals, ovaries

and thyroid act on a similar hormonal axis.

I make no claims as to the veracity of this, only to say that It helped

Hi Debbie,

Way to go on working to heal your body without leaning on meds.

Are you eating the therapeutic dosages of coconut oil, 5.5 Tablespoons? Also,

many vegetables are considered goitrogenic. They inhibit thyroid production.

I've heard if you cook them the goitrogens are lowered. Some say by 1/3. I

know I still get fatigued if I eat kale and broccoli even cooked very well.

I've been off thyroid meds for two years.

>

[Guest guest]

Thanks ,. Yes I have been taking at least 6 Tbs. of coconut oil. I just

wondered if that might be too much with the adrenal issue.

[Guest guest]

>

> I have been on Bee's diet for about 4 weeks now and I took myself off of my

thyroid meds. I am starting to feel like my adrenals can't keep up. I just feel

like I'm moving in slow motion. I thought the coconut oil would be helpful, but

maybe it's too much for my adrenals right now. Any ideas?

+++Hi Debbie,

The reason you had low thyroid was because your adrenals were over stressed and

aren't able to handle normal thyroid hormone output. Therefore your thyroid

automatically lowers its production in order to protect your adrenals.

There are many things on this program which help the adrenals, particularly 1.5

teaspoons per day of good ocean sea salt. However, all nutrients work together.

Coconut oil is helpful but it take time and patience for your body to repair and

rebuild itself, which is 1 month for every year.

Also during that time your body will " retrace " all past symptoms, including

adrenal fatigue, low thyroid function, etc. as this article explains:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal10.php

See this article about the adrenals too:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat1.php

Of course your body will create " healing and detoxifying symptoms " as a natural

process while it is healing itself, and good foods like coconut oil may appear

to " cause " symptoms when it is actually helping the body heal itself - see

Healing Foods, Herbs & Spices cause healing reactions:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal14.php

In fact, all dis-ease processes are exactly the same as the healing and

detoxifying processes that are created by the body itself in an effort to

maintain its health. The only difference for people on this healthy program is

they are now progressing towards health rather than becoming more and more

unhealthy, or dis-eased, because they are giving their body what it needs to " be

healthy " according to Nature's Laws on Health.

The medical field labels each and every " sign " of poor health as separate

dis-eases, illnesses, symptoms, etc. However all of them are simply " signs " the

body is working hard at maintaining its health in spite of poor nutrition,

toxins, etc., so all of those " signs " are actually normal body reactions.

The best in health, Bee

Thanks for the support Gail. It's tough, I know, but this diet will be our

ticket to recuperation!

After several years of doctor visits and thousands of dollars on alternative

'doctors' I finally realized that the body is not deficient in drugs or man-made

'junk' but simply FOOD, minerals and vitamins. The recovery process may take

time but at least we know what to look forward to!

You're spot on about cholesterol, vitamin C and salt Gail. Throw in some B

vitamins and you have quite the cocktail.

Godspeed!

Luke C, Can you tell a difference in the different fats you use - which

ones seem to help more with easing the anxiety / uptight / jittery

feelings? We ran out of butter and had only coconut oil in the house

for two days. My husband is feeling jittery & uptight & hungry. Was the

butter doing that much for him?

Sharon,

Animal fats (especially saturated fats from red meat - ruminants) are

antimicrobial. Some feel that coconut oil is perhaps more so but it's a moot

point, you don't need coconut oil in your diet. Your system desires, needs... no

- DEMANDS animal fat.

See your butcher about getting fat trimmings from the fattier steaks! Continue

the coconut oil Sharon, but do your best to get the animal fat ASAP.

we recently got 1/4 of a grassfed beef from the butcher. The ground beef

has a nice amount of fat in it. I'll be sure to save that especially for

my husband.

+++Hi Sharon,

You will know if butter was doing a lot for him if he doesn't get those feelings

once he has butter again.

But keep in mind that he may not have felt that way because he didn't have

butter, since there can be other reasons for such feelings, including detoxify

toxins, drugs, etc. or because his body is " retracing " those feelings from the

past. So not having butter could have been a coincidence.

CaN anyone tell me if ldn is containdicated in patients with addisons or extreme

adrenal fatigue/ failure. Thanks

[Guest guest]

I believe that is called: Vitiligo. Skin areas look " bleached " - absence of

color??

This can be little circles or I've seen actual patches of skin look like

bleached.

This is caused by pituitary/ pineal glands.

Curious, where are they located and how big?

Hello everyone and hey Diane?

On that article I just posted on the 18 symptoms of adrenal fatigue,

did you happen to catch the one called: Hyperpigmentation and the brownish

stains?

It occurred to me that there might be a connection between your description of

rusty stains on hands and feet, when you tried the Iodine.

This was the first time I'd ever seen the term used: Hyperpigmentation. Up to

this

time, I had only heard the term: Vitiligo used, which is the opposite, an

absence

of pigmentation, like little white spots on the skin have been bleached white.

This, by the way is pituatary or pineal gland malfunction.

I have seen this on someone, on their back, small little circles, not much

bigger

then large freckle.

This is what I love about this support group...a bunch of info gets put up on

a big chalk board, and we brainstorm....ya never know what treasure trove

of insight will come forward.

Hi, Lizzie,

Me:

Yes, I did, but I know what hyperpigmentation looks like--my Mom has it.  No,

it is different.  And the rusty hands and feet are washable--I mean, it soaks

off in time.  (Actually, I have to be careful not to get it on bedding and

fabrics when I get it.)  It is what happens when you take too much iodine.  It

happens to normal people who take too much iodine, too; I just don't have to

take nearly as much to get it.  Actual hyperpigmentation is permanent.

I also have the vitiligo--small white spots, as you say.  I've had them on my

arms and legs since I was a child (they have not increased in number since

then).  While we are talking about Diane's spots, I also get age spots on my

left arm--from free radical damage, but those come and go away quickly if I take

anti-oxidants regularly.  lol  ]

Thanks for the info, Lizzie,

Hi, Kathy,

You write:

" Would hyper-pigmentation also be small areas look like circles that are

lighter?  With me they're whitish. Just started last year. "

Me:

No, those are vitiligo, like I have.  Some of mine are as large as a forth inch

in diameter (they have stretched in size as I have grown).   Those are likely

from pituitary or pineal gland malfunction, as Lizzie said.  But I don't think

they ever go away once you have them.  You mention problems with melatonin and

sleeping.  It is likely your pineal gland is being affected negatively by

something.
