Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Where do you get these rose quartz stones? I find that if I don't take the hydrocortosone at night I can't sleep so having sufficient adrenal hormone in your system is vital to getting a good night sleep. Otherwise your nervous system is uneasy. Loni From: Latifah T <zzzapit@...> Subject: re: Adrenals Date: Friday, June 11, 2010, 12:58 AM Â 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.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hi Loni,  I bought mine online--but you have to do your homework. Some places say they are natural and that is not necessarily true. I would rather go to a local dealer in stones, but the closest I know of is 500 miles away. lol In Arizona, New Mexico, etc you should have places that sell local natural stones to the public, Loni. If you ask there, you will probably get a good price and great quality, since you are looking for " therapeutic stones " , not stones for jewelry. These are usually in tourist towns.  Diane From: Latifah T <zzzapit@...> Subject: re: Adrenals Date: Friday, June 11, 2010, 12:58 AM  Hi all, A couple of key points about re-vitalizing the adrenals.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Lots of good fats, preferably raw for dairy fats. Beiler's broth is very good for adrenals. Linn Original Bieler Recipe 1 pound of string beans 2 pounds zucchini a hand full of curly parsley enough water to cover your veggies Into rapidly boiling water add above and boil for 10-15 min until fork goes thru outside of zucchini, puree using the water you cooked it in and make it the consistency you desire. Uses: The original recipe was developed by Maverick Physician Henry Bieler to heal a variety of illnesses's. Many times the soup was used as a fast.Explanation: Dr. Bieler would take a detailed study of the patients endocrine glands. This includes the adrenal glands, pituitary gland and the thyroid gland. Dr. Bieler would then prescribed a dietary cure. The cure depended up the the glands which where dysfunctional. The cure would be a limited diet, or even a fast on Bieler's broth. The vegetables are like nature's vitamins, and restore such elements as potassium, and sodium to our glands. Dr. Bieler was particularly interested in restoring the liver as a way to health. Modifications to the Recipe These are some possibilities of how to modify the Bieler's soup. This can be if you are not treating intensely a specific health condition. Create your own variety of healing vegetable soup based on your own personal needs and desires. Add Carrots Add several stocks of Celery Add Kale or potatoes Add raw butter or cream to the soup after cooking Add miso when the soup is warm Omit Parsley for breastfeeding women On Aug 10, 2010, at 9:18 PM, light wrote: Does anyone know if increased potassium supplimentation like in prune juice will help adrenal fatigue?

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Adrenal fatigue due to low levels of hormones being secreted from the adrenal cortex : low cortisol which controls blood sugar and sleep patterns, low aldosterone which regulate sodium /potassium, and low androgen/estrogens which regulate sex drive and development. If you are low in aldosterone you will retain extra potassium. You would not want to go out of your way to ingest more. However you would benefit from taking liberal amounts of sea salt, as you will be secreting to much salt from your kidneys. The salt and drinking extra water will help keep blood volume up. Signs of this problem could be low blood volume, which causes a person to get dizzy and possibly pass out upon standing, increased muscle weakness, especially in the legs/back, intermittent nausea or stomach aches, possible bouts of blurred vision , inflammation in the body which can result in arthritis like pain anywhere in the body or pain deep into bone sockets, but also muscular pain as well, carpal tunnel, fungal issues, bouts of diarrhea, possible pain around the ribs or under the rib area, and heart area pain or pressure,(with a EKG test coming out fine) feeling like you are having difficulty breathing at times, feeling "ill" when blood sugar is low and you haven't eaten in a while , a euphoric/hysteric feeling (blood sugar surge) after eating, inability to handle stress, anger issues and crying jags, inability to fall asleep easily and frequent night waking around the clock, morning fatigue, chronic fatigue, ear pain and excessive wax. Licorice and B5 (and salt) can help support adrenals for this particular problem ('s). Raw virgin coconut oil can help make a precursor to sex hormones. If a person's steroid hormone secretion is very low, or injury happens , it can be life threatening. Sometimes it would not be wise to self treat adrenal problems and they should be put on a monitored prednisone by a doctor. Not that I trust doctors but if a person took too much of a corticoid or steroid hormone they can cause a swing the other way (cushings disease.) and then still be ill! Prednisone's do increase blood glucose and yeast infections. A Chronic fatigue doctor recommended ribose and malic acid to increase energy but I don't know if these feed yeast or not or "support" adrenals. he also has a product called Stress-End which has a lot of adrenal support products in it.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 IMO " steroid " isn't a dirty word b/c it is natural to your body. allopathic docs usually don't know how to dose/use it though. Cortef is wonderful and very safe. you can google Safe Uses of Cortisol by McK Jefferies MD. I take 5mg 4X a day. Take enough iodine to combat yeast.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I need much more potassium, I struggle with deficiency in that that stops my bowels flat if I'm not on enough.Thanks for explaining more though. > > Adrenal fatigue due to low levels of hormones being secreted from the adrenal cortex : > low cortisol which controls blood sugar and sleep patterns, > low aldosterone which regulate sodium /potassium, > and low androgen/estrogens which regulate sex drive and development. > > If you are low in aldosterone you will retain extra potassium. You would not want to go out of your way to ingest more. However you would benefit from taking liberal amounts of sea salt, as you will be secreting to much salt from your kidneys. The salt and drinking extra water will help keep blood volume up. > > Signs of this problem could be low blood volume, which causes a person to get dizzy and possibly pass out upon standing, increased muscle weakness, especially in the legs/back, intermittent nausea or stomach aches, possible bouts of blurred vision , inflammation in the body which can result in arthritis like pain anywhere in the body or pain deep into bone sockets, but also muscular pain as well, carpal tunnel, fungal issues, bouts of diarrhea, possible pain around the ribs or under the rib area, and heart area pain or pressure,(with a EKG test coming out fine) feeling like you are having difficulty breathing at times, feeling " ill " when blood sugar is low and you haven't eaten in a while , a euphoric/hysteric feeling (blood sugar surge) after eating, inability to handle stress, anger issues and crying jags, inability to fall asleep easily and frequent night waking around the clock, morning fatigue, chronic fatigue, ear pain and excessive wax. > > Licorice and B5 (and salt) can help support adrenals for this particular problem ('s). Raw virgin coconut oil can help make a precursor to sex hormones. > If a person's steroid hormone secretion is very low, or injury happens , it can be life threatening. Sometimes it would not be wise to self treat adrenal problems and they should be put on a monitored prednisone by a doctor. Not that I trust doctors but if a person took too much of a corticoid or steroid hormone they can cause a swing the other way (cushings disease.) and then still be ill! > > Prednisone's do increase blood glucose and yeast infections. > > A Chronic fatigue doctor recommended ribose and malic acid to increase energy but I don't know if these feed yeast or not or " support " adrenals. he also has a product called Stress-End which has a lot of adrenal support products in it. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
