Adrenal Stress

eric@drericsnow.com (Dr. Eric Snow) — Fri, 05 Sep 2014 16:32:00 +0000

Stressful challenges from our environment such as air, water and chemical
pollution, the eating of junk “foods”, stressed interpersonal relationships, overwork and anxiety combined with fears of the unknown future for our family and friends are the signs of our times.

Coping with these physical, mental, and emotional stresses tests the limits of our health. Each and every one of these challenging factors calls upon one or more of the dozens of healthful functions provided by the adrenal glands.

The adrenals are endocrine glands the size of walnuts which are located on top of the kidneys. The outer layers are known to create more than 30 hormones or hormone-like substances, which are integrated into virtually every function of the body. The inner part of the adrenal gland is an extension of nerve tissue providing quick jolts of energy to help us handle “emergencies.”

The adrenal glands support us through thick and thin. Unfor- tunately, our modern lifestyle seems like one emergency after another to our adrenal glands, so they end up getting exhausted, “jumpy” and overworked. And without healthy adrenal glands we suffer.

Many of the syndromes, symptoms and diseases of the 21st century are directly related to a lack of adrenal health. To name a few:
° Chronic fatigue
° Immune deficiency
° Insomnia
° Craving of sweets and caffeine
° Weight gain
° Depression

Sources of Stress That Challenge the Adrenals

Refined carbohydrates - Junk foods - Physical and mental strain - Sleep deprivation - Chemical & heavy metal toxins - Trauma / Injury – Anger – Fear – Worry – Anxiety – Overwork – Noise pollution – Inflammation – Pain - Infections – Malabsorption – Maldigestion – Nutritional deficiency – Food allergies – Low blood sugar.

Do you suffer dizziness?, Headaches? Weakness? Are you tired but wired?

Do you suffer prolonged weak- ness after colds or flu? Are you suffering nervous or muscular exhaustion?

Do you suffer insomnia? Do you have weight gain around your waist or face only?
Decreased libido?

Do you experience lightheadedness when standing up quickly?

You are very likely suffering from stressed, unhealthy adrenals.

Autoimmune Disease-PMGs to the Rescue

When your body attacks its own tissue, you are the "victim." As your immune system is directed to protect you from this "foreign protein," your own body is broken down. The result of this autoimmune reaction can be any number of conditions depending on which tissue is being attacked.

"Fueled by media frenzy and fear of prostate cancer, men often are counseled to aggressively pursue diagnostic studies and treatment of elevated PSA. But research shows that 85% of the time a man has an increase in PSA it is due to inflammation and infections of the prostate gland that have gone untreated and unsupported by healthful choices-not cancer! It is time for healthful choices!"

“In all parts of the globe where the native population had changed from their natural foods to the use of commercial products, there began the infiltration of those dreaded diseases, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and influenza … exactly parallel to the increase in their use of commercial foods. It made no difference whether the change took place in a high valley in the Swiss Alps or in an island of the sea in the Eastern or Western hemisphere. The identically same results followed the introduction of commercial foods of civilized man.” —Dr. Lee (1955) Read More...

Meal Skipping & Adrenal Fatigue

eric@drericsnow.com (Dr. Eric Snow) — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:52:00 +0000

If you are suffering with burned out adrenals, when you eat is as important as what you eat. Low blood sugar is in itself a stressor, that further drains your adrenals. Therefore avoiding letting your blood sugar levels drop too low by eating natural, high quality food at frequent, regular intervals will make a difference to your adrenal health as well as to your energy level. Many people with Adrenal Fatigue push themselves, often going long stretches without a proper meal. This further taxes the adrenals because the lower the blood sugar levels, the more cortisol it takes to normalize them.

Organic Minerals are ESSENTIAL

eric@drericsnow.com (Dr. Eric Snow) — Tue, 01 May 2012 17:43:00 +0000

One of the main costs of refining foods is their demineralization, white sugar being devoid of its mineral components, white flour having lost most of its mineral components as well. The intricate mineral-protein complexes are also disrupted by cooking and heat . . . In the face of these abuses of natural foods, is it any wonder that mineral deficiencies and imbalances rank as high as vitamin deficiencies as causes of malnutrition? READ MORE...
