Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 NOTE! High doses of Vitamin C are necessary! Do not make the mistake of overlooking the importance of Vitamin C in supporting the adrenal glands! This was highlighted for me in a story I had read about...can't remember where, but there were some researchers who were investigating a group of Northern Natives and their diet. These natives ate only meats and fats from seals and whales and the like---and the researchers were curious as to how these people avoided the dread disease scurvy, since there was an obvious lack of fresh fruits and vegetables in their diet. Where were they getting their Vitamin C? These peoples had a secret that they would not divulge to the researchers! Of course, they didn't know about "Vitamin C and scurvy", they just knew that there was a very important secret to their diet that kept them from getting ill. Guess what it was? The secret, which one researcher quietly got one of the tribal chiefs to reveal was that they ate the adrenal glands of the animals they killed. The adrenal gland was where the Vitamin C (which animals make on their own; humans do not) is stored. It was a prized part of any animal kill. If you are not taking extra Vitamin C, I would encourage you to do so.

Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st-Century Stress Syndrome COMMON CAUSES OF ADRENAL FATIGUEChronic stress is very common in the western society. The most common causes of stress are work pressure, death of a love one, moving house, changing jobs, illness and marital disruptions. Adrenal fatigue occurs when the amount of stress overextends the capacity of the body to compensate and recover from stress. Stressors that can lead to adrenal fatigue include: Anger Chronic fatigue Chronic illness Chronic infection Chronic pain Depression Excessive exercise Fear and guilt Gluten intolerance Low blood sugar Mal-absorption Mal-digestion Toxic exposure Severe or chronic stress Surgery Late hours Sleep deprivation Excessive Exercise Excessive sugar in diet Excessive caffeine intake from coffee and tea One of the most commonly overlooked causes of adrenal fatigue is chronic or severe infection that gives rise to an inflammatory response. Such infection can occur sub-clinically with no obvious signs at all. Parasitic and bacterial infections including Giardia and H. pylori are often the main culprits. Signs and Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue Tendency to gain weight and unable to loose it, especially around the waist. Getting the flu and other respiratory diseases often. Trebling when under pressure. Lowered libido (sex drive). Feeling "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 between 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 . Feel better when 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 (digestion problems) If you have many of these signs and symptoms, it is time you consider adrenal fatigue as a possible cause once you have ruled out other problems. The ability to handle stress, physical or emotional, is critical to human survival. Our body has a complete set of stress modulation system in place, and the control center is the adrenal glands. When this gland becomes dysfunctional, our body's ability to handle stress reduces, and symptoms will arise TIPS FOR HEALTHY ADRENAL GLANDS Sleep by 10 p.m. Sleep in until 9:00 a.m., when possible Do the things that you like Avoid coffee or other caffeine containing beverages Eat early Have a glass of water in the morning with ½ to 1 teaspoon of salt Avoid grains and bread Avoid starchy foods such as potato Avoid trans-fat such as French fries (its in a LOT of food) Laugh several times a day Take vitamin C, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and vitamin E Take pregnenolone and DHEA as needed Avoid getting over-tired Avoid sugary fruits such as melons Never skip breakfast - or any meal for that matter Need Mail bonding?Go to the Q & A for great tips from Answers users.

Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st-Century Stress Syndrome COMMON CAUSES OF ADRENAL FATIGUE Chronic stress is very common in the western society. The most common causes of stress are work pressure, death of a love one, moving house, changing jobs, illness and marital disruptions. Adrenal fatigue occurs when the amount of stress overextends the capacity of the body to compensate and recover from stress. Stressors that can lead to adrenal fatigue include: Anger Chronic fatigue Chronic illness Chronic infection Chronic pain Depression Excessive exercise Fear and guilt Gluten intolerance Low blood sugar Mal-absorption Mal-digestion Toxic exposure Severe or chronic stress Surgery Late hours Sleep deprivation Excessive Exercise Excessive sugar in diet Excessive caffeine intake from coffee and tea One of the most commonly overlooked causes of adrenal fatigue is chronic or severe infection that gives rise to an inflammatory response. Such infection can occur sub-clinically with no obvious signs at all. Parasitic and bacterial infections including Giardia and H. pylori are often the main culprits.
