Janie) CHAOS IN THE CORTEX: AN UNRECOGNIZED ADRENAL-IMMMUNE DISTURBANCE IN PETS OFFERS THERAPEUTIC INSIGHTS FOR MULTIPLE HUMAN DISORDERS Alfred J. Plechner Summary In thousands of cases spanning three decades, I have identified an unrecognized endocrine-immune disturbance as a major trigger of multiple disorders in dogs and cats, including allergies, epilepsy, viral diseases, inflammatory bowel, autoimmunity, and cancer. In most cases, and for seemingly unrelated conditions, I have restored health by correcting this disturbance with the same therapeutic program. I strongly believe this clinical approach offers important diagnostic and treatment promise for common human diseases that may also have a similar mechanism of endocrine-immune imbalance. The problem originates with genetic or acquired disturbance to the adrenal cortex production of cortisol. A domino effect ensues, affecting the hypothalamuspituitary-adrenal axis. Hormones go awry. Estrogen, from the apparent conversion of adrenal androgens, is overproduced. Thyroid hormones are blocked. Immune function becomes compromised. I consistently see this scenario in sick patients. As an example, every cancer patient I treat has it. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ISW/is_2003_April/ai_9916 4833/print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 WOW what a great and well researched article! I am taking this to my VET!!! I have put Tigger on DHEA as well as Armour and am seeing a really drastic improvement. He and I both thrive on DHEA supplementation. After my failed attempts at adrenal support I am scared to try Cortef on him. But with these levels tested I might. I just have to convince my local vet to try testing these levels on him!
