Stores and makes hormones regulating childhood growth and

development.

Both these glands are effected by the hypothalamus via the pituitary

(cushings syndrome) which is where the environmental burdens are

stored.

Vitamin deficiencies (TEST) can lead to the dysfunction of both

glands, which then can cause insomnia, and chronic fatigue

syndrome.

Proper adrenal (adrenals and salt) function is also necessary to

convert the T4 to T3 (active thyroid hormone)

Both can be helped by meditation, vitamin therapy, dealing with

repressed feelings, anger, and spiritual meaning.

Thyroid and adrenal hormones try to work in sync. If there is enough

of thyroid hormone, the adrenals will often calm down. If there isn't

enough thyroid hormone, the adrenals will kick in to compensate. The

three main adrenal hormones are cortisol, adrenalin and noradrenalin,

adrenalin and noradrenalin are the " fight or flight hormones. When

the body is in need (for instance, too little thyroid hormone or life

stresses, trauma, etc.), these hormones come out and do the job.

Cortisol, on the other hand, is the calming hormone because it

provides negative feedback to keep adrenalin and noradrenalin under

control. This delicate balance can be interrupted easily by low or

high levels of cortisol. The adrenalin and noradrenalin (which cause

sleep disorders when in excess) are constantly signaling to increase

cortisol production to slow down the adrenalin and

noradrenalin. The body can only take so much before there is

widespread imbalance in all the endocrine systems.
