4. Exhaustion - “where has my energy gone”? First, over exposure to cortisol and over-production of adrenalin, leave the adrenal glands exhausted and no longer able to support bodily functions. Second, the suppressed systems- digestive, immune, reproductive and growth hormones can’t perform properly and may result in stomach disorders, IBS, acid reflux, gas, indigestion, and frequent bouts with disease, infertility/lack of libido and poor muscle and organ health . Chronic stress is known to intensify inflammation levels and trigger high blood sugar, high blood pressure and worsen diabetes . This disruption of normal body functions creates serious risk for a variety of problems, including but not limited to - obesity, insomnia, digestive upset, heart disease, depression, cancer, memory loss and other physical dis-eases. Stress depletes the adrenal glands of nutrients (calcium, vitamins and essential fatty acids) that are needed for energy conversion. If you have no energy when you get off of work, or have insomnia, hot flashes, crave salty foods, and feel like your blood sugar is dropping, you should have a plan to nourish your adrenal glands and manage your stress.

5. Thyroid Insufficiency • When the body is very stressed, the thyroid will try to compensate and become exhausted. By checking your temperature with a basal thermometer, you can determine if you need thyroid assistance. • If the temperature is below 97.6 consider taking Thyromin or kelp or other sea weed to the diet. • Do you suffer from cold hands and feet, thinning hair, fatigue, weight gain? If so your thyroid function may be below normal. Please read, “Iodine, Why You Need It and Why You Can’t Live Without It” After the thyroid glands are exhausted, the adrenal glands are the next to be affected.

6. How Stress affects the adrenals • One part of the adrenal gland is the medulla and it produces stress hormones. Essential oils that have the ability to calm and relax the body like Lavender, Peace & Calming, Joy, Valor and many others will allow you to achieve the calm that is needed. When you inhale an oil, it goes directly to the pituitary (master) gland in your brain. ( 3 WiseMen oil blend) • The outer part of the adrenal gland is the cortex and it secretes critical hormones called glucocortoids and aldosterone and they directly affect blood pressure and mineral content and help regulate the conversion of carbohydrates into energy. • If adrenal insufficiency is accompanied by a lack of thyroid hormone, a condition known as Schmidt’s syndrome results.

12. Pregnenolone: a Radical New Appoach to Health, Longevity, and Emotional Health • Pregnenolone is made in the body from cholesterol and is the “mother” of all steroid hormones, such as progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, and aldosterone. • The research on pregnenolone dates back to the 1940s documenting how beneficial it can be. • Pregnenolone is for “memory enhancement”. In his book, “The Super Hormone Promise, by William Regelson, M.D. writes, “The improvement was especially profound after the subjects had been on pregnenolone for at least two weeks, suggesting that pregnenolone’s effect on mental function may be cumulative. • Dr. Norm Sheally, M.D. has said that we will have a rash of alzheimer patients because of the use of statin drugs. • Products with pregnenolone: Regenolone Moisturizing Cream, • NeuroGen Lotion, Prenolone Plus cream, w/ DHEA

15. Kidney & Bladder dis-comfort • Kidney weakness is all too often overlooked, because some of the symptom indicators are not reflected in conventional diagnostics. Kidney weakness signs are high blood pressure, pain in joints, especially the knees. Most people think it is arthritis, but uric acid that stems from faulty kidneys stays in the body and deposits in the joints. Uric acid is extremely toxic and may show its face as gout. • If one has bags under the eyes this also may be a sign of kidney distress. My Mother had both bags under her eyes and high blood pressure and she had kidney dis-ease and took 3 different HBP meds to control her blood pressure. • Whenever I experience a lower back pain or cystitis, I take several droppers of K & B tincture in cranberry juice 2-3 times a day for relief. • With a recent bladder cystitis, I also added capsules filled with 5 drops each of lemongrass and juniper oils for support and this gave me instant relief.
