Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 (The following is from our ADRENALS folder. I got it from vitaminmd.com, and I have also ordered Isocort from them since there was no shipping charges. Janie) Importance of Adrenal Function The Adrenals are two small endocrine glands, whose location is directly above each of the kidneys. The proper functioning of these glands is essential to our overall health and sense of well-being. They are of primary concern in matters of energy production, stamina, blood sugar regulation, emotional balance, ability to cope with stress, thyroid activity (indirect effect on metabolic rate), sensitivity to allergens (allergy producing substances) and the regulation of inflammatory processes. Fatigue Many people complain of fatigue as a primary symptom, often complicated by other health concerns. When the attention is focused to the endocrine system in fatigued individuals, eight times out of ten the signs and symptoms are a result of insufficient adrenal reserves. In simple terms, weak or tired adrenal glands. In most cases this condition develops gradually, due to a host of factors. Causes of Adrenal Depletion Excessive long term stress, insufficient rest (optimal adrenal function demands a relatively early bed time, so getting to sleep by ten o clock is critical for their restoration) insufficient consumption of protein, insufficient consumption of vitamin C, overuse of caffeine, sugar and other stimulants, long term or frequent use of Canabis, history of Cocaine or Amphetamine abuse, chronic illness or congenital adrenal insufficiency. Of the above, the most common causes of adrenal insufficiency by far are excessive stress, over consumption of stimulants and late bedtime. IsoCort Is Unique Unlike all other adrenal support remedies available today, Iso Cort is the only one that provides a standardized dose of the adreno- cortical substance (Cortisol) required for restoration of healthy adrenal function. In order to bring the adrenals back into a state of optimal functionality, it is critical to supply the body with regulated doses of this substance (considerably less than unassisted healthy adrenals would produce). Just enough is required to provide gentle support while the glands rebuild themselves. Using greater amounts would make the glands lazy and counteract the healing process. It is therefore imperative that the dosage be stable and reliable so as to avoid a see-saw effect. This can unfortunately not be accomplished by the protomorphogenic or unrefined products available in most natural food stores or through most natural healing practitioners, because such unrefined adrenal supplements do not deliver an exact concentration of Cortisol per tablet or capsule. Cure Returning the adrenal function back to a healthy state may take anywhere from 6 to 18 months depending on the individual condition and degree of commitment to the healing process. The rewards are many. Allergic persons in most cases become much less sensitive to allergens, those with chronic inflammatory complaints improve greatly, fatigued persons return to more reliable levels of energy and stamina. Significant improvement can usually be felt within 3-21 days after initiating regular use of Iso Cort as directed. In most cases persons bothered with constant fatigue or afternoon drowsiness are able to be alert and productive for the entire day. TO ENHANCE THIS SUPPLEMENT'S HEALING POTENTIAL: Avoid all stimulants such as coffee or other caffeine containing beverages (if it is difficult for you to discontinue drinking coffee all at once, at least begin to wean yourself slowly, by reducing your intake by one half during the first week, and continue cutting back by one half with each continuing week. This should take care of any withdrawal symptoms). Also, avoid white sugar as well as white flour containing products. If you are not eating much in the way of protein on a daily basis, add more protein rich foods to every meal. Organically raised red meat, liver and eggs are all very helpful in restoring adrenal functionality. Also be sure to take at least 2,000 mg of Vitamin-C every morning and another 1,000 mg with lunch. Never skip breakfast, eat 5 to 6 times daily (small portions) to maintain stable blood sugar levels and get to sleep by ten o clock. Dosage: SUGGESTED USE: 3 Pellets with breakfast and 3 pellets with lunch. Persons over 150 lbs may wish to increase the dosage by 1 Pellet each time. An alternate method of administration is to take 2 pellets 4 times daily. This may work more effectively for severely fatigued individuals. Do not exceed taking 8 pellets daily.
