Guest guest Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 Mike, To my knowledge,what one should take for the adrenal support would depend on how one's adrenal condition is.If you only have high cortisol problem than you might make use of adaptogens or cortisol controlling agents like Seriphos.At later stages things get little more complicated. You might need to supplement Pregnenolone and or DHEA.You might also need some adrenal cortex extract and raw adrenal glandular.I believe one must make a good search before starting an adrenal supplement.Wrong supplementation may make you worse.For example if you use DHEA when your dhea level is not low this may suppress adrenal functioning. If you use adaptogens like panax ginseng when your adrenals are exhausted,this may stimulate you and make you worse.These are just couple of examples. That is what I have learned from my research. I am at later stages. I am currently using Pregnenolone,Adrenal cortex extract,adrenal glandular and Seriphos. No stimulants like coffe,tea. resting. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 Hi Mike, Like yourself, I believe in the physical laws and their governing effect. When we achieve anything in life, it is by obedience to the laws that predicate our receiving it. Our biggest problem at this point is that we are not aware of all the laws that affect us. Life is a trial and error, learn as you go, condition.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 Dear Mike, In my former life I thrived on stress. I flew airplanes, raced cars and sailboats and was in a very high stress, high reward profession. I was the work hard, play hard sort and enjoyed my life very much. The onset of my illness came after being bitten by Brown Recluse Spiders 3X within a month's span of time. To me, they were just the cute little brown spiders that lived in my bathroom. It turns out that their venom is quite poisonous, demylenating nerves, attacking the immune system and causing severe colitis. (Hmmm, never made the colitis connection before.) About a month after the bites, after one of my regular sailing trips I came down with the Flu from Hell. I was running a business, flying all over the country, and had commitments to clients. I simply refused to stop, although my body told me constantly to shut down. I remember staggering to the shower each morning and standing in the hot water, gutting up to face the day. It got to where I would sleep 2 days, work 1. Finally, I hung it up, let my employees go, closed my office, and began shucking investments. In the mean time I had married a man who liked being married to a woman who could finance his outdoor adventures and had a hard time adjusting to the idea that we weren't going to be living overlooking the golf course, instead in a small duplex in a different part of town. All of the above created severe psychological stress, and it was much harder than some of the physical stress I put myself through backpacking, canoeing, etc. and it has only been in the last year that I have not had that constant psychological stress of living with an unhappy person. In the matter of psychological stress vs. physical stress, I have come to the point where I simply don't physically challenge myself anymore than necessary. I recently made a trip that involved a 6 hour auto drive. I found that both ways I had to pull off and sleep for about 45 minutes. For someone who used to drive semis, that seems pretty wimpy, but absolutely necessary. As for psychological stress, it has become a discipline to think positively, period. If I allow myself to imagine negative consequences of anything, it affects me physically. You may have seen my post about using Omega 6 and 3 and ridding myself of depression. That has helped considerably. I also find that increasing my immunepro/IP-6 dosage helps during stressful periods. Maybe Rich might have some thoughts about why this helps.

IP-6 is known to chelate divalent metals, and probably helps to slow down the Fenton reaction whereby iron ions catalyze the production of free radicals, by binding iron ions. I take it because there's some evidence that it prevents colon cancer, and I wouldn't like that to come back! It also may help to produce IP-3, which is a signalling molecule inside cells. ImmunePro supplies some proteins, including quite a bit of cysteine, which helps glutathione production, and also contains immunoglobulins, which should help immunity, and lactoferrin, which also binds iron ions. So far I don't see how all of this might tie into helping with stress, but it's interesting to read that you have found this to be true.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 I don't know if I'm going to word this very well, because I really struggle with word recall, and brain fog, but I'll try to share a little of what I thought as I read your e-mail. Easily stressed can have a lot of factors associated with it. Weak adrenal glands can mean not enough adrenal response, or too much adrenal response or a shift in the cortisol circadian rhythm. Excess stress and excess adrenal production can make the pituitary loose it's sensitivity to adrenaline, and make it overproduce ACTH so that it stimulates too much adrenaline when activated by stress, depleting the adrenal glands, causing a boom/bust cycle. Blood sugar problems can increase the demands on the adrenals, weakening them, and problems of hypoglycemia can develop when the blood sugar levels begin to fluctuate wildly, contributing t irritability, or less stress tolerance because of insufficient fuel getting into the cells during times of low blood sugar, and increasing the demands on the adrenal glands. NMDA receptor sites in the brain can be overstimulated from excess nitric oxide production and deplete GABA levels and stimulate excess norepinephrine production. Long term pain or inflammation can also deplete opioids which can contribute to depression, increased pain sensitivity, irritability, low stress tolerance, etc. With less ability to exercise, it's harder to stimulate the opiod neurotransmitters. Magnesium and potassium deficiencies can increase NMDA receptor sensitivity. And magnesium deficiencies make it harder to relax muscles. Blockages in the Krebs cycle can affect brain chemistry causing depletion of some neurochemicals. Over alkalinity in the blood can increase lactic acid production, decrease oxygen carrying capacity, etc., which in turn can increase irritability, contribute to anxiety and overreaction to stress, and reduce stress tolerance. Digestive difficulties can include malapsorption of stress nutrients, leakage of toxins into the system from the intestines that can include neurotoxins. (for example delta toxin produced by staphylococcus aureus can act as a neurotoxin in the brain) With altered immune systems, we are more vulnerable to more pathogens that can have unpredictable effects on our brains and adrenal system. Thyroid deficiencies, whether from high TSH levels, or Low T4 production, or low T3 conversion, or reverse T3 production or thyroid resistance, can all contribute to an inability to tolerate stress. I'm almost overwhelmed by how complicated it can become with CFS to repair the stress coping systems in the body and regain some adaptability with how complicated everything can become because of the effects of CFS on our systems. As far as non-medication methods for managing emotional stress, you might look into biomeridian forms of accupressure, such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or TAT (Tapas Accupressure Technique) to help remove the intensity of your emotions. (Here's a web site that has more information about these and more: http://www.theamt.com/ ) You could also consider doing bioneurofeedback to retrain your brain wave activity to lessen the emotional response. (Think of it as retraining your brain after a stroke, only in this case it isn't a stroke, it is intercellular metabolism problems, but to some degree you can still stimulate it to adapt) There are bioneurofeedback devices that you can purchase for home use, or you can find a bioneurofeedback therapist to work with you. There are light/sound alpha wave inducers that can trigger a relaxed state of mind to help reduce the impact of your emotions. (Although with me they seem to trigger localized seizures that make me feel like parts of my body are being electrocuted, so I can't personally vouch that they work for everyone! But you never know till you try one.) Here's a couple web sites that have more information: http://www.pocket-neurobics.com/products.htm#Abhayamudra%20II and http://www.siberimaging.com/ There are a lot of things that have been posted about adrenal support, thyroid function, blood sugar control, healing leaky gut and malapsorption problems, etc. and you might dig through the archives and see if any of it sounds like it would be of benefit to you. lindaj@...

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 Hi Mike I have this problem now too. I used to have what would be considered a high stress job but never felt stress. Now the tiniest things are stressful and freak me out and make me sick. So I avoid stress as much as possible. There is no way around it, I think we all have to avoid stress. But when we have to face stress, I find the 4,7,8 breathing method works pretty well. I also personally practice a technique kind of like meditation called releasing which I learned from some tapes. It allows me to quickly release negative emotions, which at least helps. Having a great spouse to absorb the stress for you is also terrific! Have you tried herbs that are supposed to help with stress? I think lemon balm is one... I am not sure how well these work for that.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 I don't want this to denegrate into a religious discussion... but I believe that a sense of well being is extremely important to fighting this illness. Personally I have never believed in religion or in what people call god. I too am a scientist. However, I have learned that there is a type of faith that doesn't depend on god or religion. I don't know if I will be able to describe it very well. But I will try. It is kind of an acceptance of things as they are, and when you get to that point then you don't have to fight it. You just believe that things will work out somehow. Or they won't. (Buddist's call it detachment.) Ironically detachment allows you get more engaged in your life. You do what you can to improve situations of course, but you also realize that ultimately you do not have a lot of control. So you just focus on what you can affect, that that is how you live moment to moment. You make the best of each moment, you let the future take care of itself, and then you get a kind of inner peace. That is what I call faith, and I think anyone can get it. But it does take some work to get there. Especially for those of us who grew up believing only in science.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Doris & All, I don't want to start a discussion on faith matters, but I did want to clarify that faith in God & science are not disconnected at all. I know a good number of scientists, especially in the area of molecular science, who have no trouble having faith in God & in intelligent design as they look more and more at the complexities in a single cell and in DNA structure. Belief in random chance takes much more faith considering the statistical improbability of the structures somehow coming together randomly.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 , having a person/people around you who will listen can bring you relief, or engaging in a group's activities (taking up a hobby) to meet new people, or maybe you will have to make painful decisions. It depends on the sort of problems you have. You could also try drinking hop tea (quite bitter) or lavender tea (nice).

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 -Im sorry to say where we live, I have not found any friends. The people are not to friendly. We live in Northern CA and they have there clicks. I originally from Southern CA where they are very friendly. I have asked others and they feel the same way. I joined a gym but there just to busy and not interested. So I keep to myself. I know my problems are not insurmountable just frustrating. My husband moved me here after living in a town for 20 years. I gave up my job, friends and even my home. At first I believe it would be better for us but it has become a total nightmare. Instead of owning my own home we just rent. The joke I had was, I was only one step from being homeless. The laugh is on me because my landlord wants his house back and now I must move again. I know you probably say buy, but there are circumstances within the last 2 1/2 years that we cannot buy at this time. The enron scandal depleated my retirement,stocks and any future assets that we had.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 -I live in Sutter up and around the corner from you. Near Yuba City. Thanks for advice, I have considered working but I help take care of Grandson since his mom works all the time. I believe it would be great if I did, it would get me out of the House. My great, great grandparents came from Ireland on my dads side. My daughter lives in Europe and is expecting a baby this next June. Iam trying everything I can think of to be with her. I swore to my children I would be there for my grandchildren since there grandparents were not there for them. Boy its a tuff decision, I was hoping we could stay where we are until next August. But Iam beating a path to find a new home soon for us. I guess this wouldn't bother me except the fact that my son is hurting and I cant change was has gone on. We moved to make it better for him. Since the school was not that good where we used to live. The school he is in is great but he has the same problems of not fitting in, mind you he is very personable and if people would give him a chance. They would found out what a great kid he is and fun to be around.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 I have to agree to with you Lori. One factor that does cause stress though is eating something you shouldn't. That can throw me into anxiety attacks to the point of thinking I am going nuts. The health problems do cause stress on the body due to the chemicals we all use that aren't natural for someone who doesn't have Samter's. There is no trade off if you want to breathe, us use the medications and lots of them are stimulants. As for what we inherit, yep I totally agree. My health is copying my folks health as I get older, and all my Uncles on my father's side all died of heart problems back to the late 1800's. (genealogy buff) Just my two cents. Had a bad attack yesterday of anxiety, stress and plain craziness. Got off my Feingold program ate salicylates big time for days and it hit bad yesterday. My breaking point is crowds of people and living in a tourist area with only 2 grocery stores within 150 miles makes for some bad days for me. in AK -- stress I don't think that stress causes Samters, it can just bring on the Samters that are already "wired" to get. I really believe this. People think of gentics sometimes in a simplistic way, like oh if I have Samters I will pass it on, or if I inherited it I must have "gotten" it from someone. But different genes combine to give us predispositions to things, it's not like, oh, if I have this ONE gene I will get Samters. My dad had nasal polyps and my mom is allergic to aspirin .... I feel very sure that the genes responsible for those things were passed on to me and contributed to my (very severe) case of Samters.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Hi , Thank you for mentioning reiki and it's help with stress (big for Os). Your post has made me realize that, although on my other lists I am eager to recommend/mention ER4YT, I try to keep this lists posting on-topic always, and have therefore not been as helpful as I could be. I am a Reiki master (Level 3), and do primarily distant treatments. I was attuned to level 1 in February and later attuned to master level in April of this year and have been channeling reiki on a regular basis since. I also do EFT (Emotion Freedom Technique), and in some instances combine the two. If anyone would like more information, or to experience a session, please just email me offlist - I'll be more than happy to give you a distant treatment. BTW, this is not a commercial solicitation, the treatments are usually complimentary, and if I ever charge, it is just a modest fee for my time only (a full session can last up to 1 hour). Reiki is something that we are ALL able to do with minimal instructions, after attunement. So if anyone would like some reiki, or an attunement, just ask! Reiki Blessings and Lights, Jannette O +, Sec: Unknown Michele For the Stress I would recommend you look for a Reiki Practitioner in your area. A 1 hour session with a Reiki Master would/should totally relax you and remove a lot of stress for you. Reiki also helps remove toxins from your system and speed up the healing process. It is a wonderful way to help you heal yourself without adding medicine/chemicals to your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Michele, I have been using Light and Sound for over 7 years as my main choice for stress reduction. As a non pharmaceutical approach, I find it impossible to beat. It is mediatation made impossibly easy for the rest of us. I've put people to sleep at high noon who had to take heavy tranquilizers to nod off in the evening. I recently started using Pulsed Magnetic Fields with it. This combination I am finding is beyond what most people ever experience in a lifetime. When doing sessions I feel like I have reentered " the womb " , spun my own cocoon, instantly trasported myself to a deserted paradise island. And I do this at home whenever I feel like it....routinely when retiring in the evening. The asians have been using Pulsed Magnetic Fields for acupuncture now for sometime. Energies are balanced.....well. You can feel the effects of the field. For Audio Seminars and Video on how Pulsed Magnetic Fields can improve your health, go to http://www.quantronresonance.com/membersonly.html username: q7361 password: q7361 There is a whole range of health conditions covered. If acupuncture benefits the condition, Pulsed Magnetic Fields will benefit. PEMFS are the cadillac of the magnet industry. Forget static magnets which come nowhere near the complete body penetration that PEMFS cover. If and when you come to the conclusion that this might be something to try, don't buy it directly from the company. I use a company called Mindcare that will beat anyones price. I bought mine from Nick. http://www.mindcare.com Hope this will help you in your quest. It has certainly done it for my arthritis, stress, and insomnia.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Hi ! What would one purchase to start light & sound & what company do you recommend? Does it work for every one or have you seen people who were not helped by it? http://www.foodforyourblood.com Re: Stress Michele, I have been using Light and Sound for over 7 years as my main choice for stress reduction. As a non pharmaceutical approach, I find it impossible to beat. It is mediatation made impossibly easy for the rest of us. I've put people to sleep at high noon who had to take heavy tranquilizers to nod off in the evening. I recently started using Pulsed Magnetic Fields with it. This combination I am finding is beyond what most people ever experience in a lifetime. When doing sessions I feel like I have reentered " the womb " , spun my own cocoon, instantly trasported myself to a deserted paradise island.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 , > Hi ! What would one purchase to start light & sound I have purchased several machines throughout the years including a DAVID Paradise, a DAVID Paradise XL, a Nova Pro 100, and a Proteus. Over the years I have come to prefer my DAVID XL over the others especially the Nova. The DAVIDs have very smooth white light goggles. I can use it daily even 3x per day without overstimulation. The Nova provides allot of stimulation, too much for me. There is a new model, the DAVID XL PLUS that if money were not an issue, I would go for. For starters and for far less money, the Proteus will do what the others will do with fewer options. This is probably the best starter machine. But make sure to get White Light goggles. Use Dr. 's Delta Sleep System in combo. > & what company do you recommend? I paid full price for my DAVID Paradise when I first got into this but later found http://www.mindcare.com which has saved me allot of money throughout the years. I have searched extensively, but Mindcare has consistently beaten everyones pricing. >Does it work for every one or have you seen people who > were not helped by it? It is very very very rare that it would not have an effect. I can't really remember anyone that did not have some degree of the relaxation response occur. When combined with Pulsed Magnetic Fields, the sedative effect is even more dramatic. It is at least equal to or perhaps even beyond a pharmaceutical approach. This is wave energy. As the light and sound energy waves slow down and the PEMFS slow down, your bodies biological systems naturally slow down. This is a far more natural gentle approach than taking a sedative which penetrates every cell of your body and has the potential to become addictive.
