Prevention and Correction of Adrenal Malfunction

 

Symptoms of adrenal malfunction can start improving as soon as 2-3 days

after commencement of therapy or it could be 2-3 months before any

improvement is seen in resistant cases. The harder cases are people who

have been on cortisone, epinephrine, allergy medication, alcoholics,

sugarholics, people addicted to caffeine, marijuana, etc. With patience

I've seen wonderful results in even the most difficult cases. Remember

if instructions (especially dietary restrictions) are not closely

adhered to progress can be slow or nil. A food binge midway through the

program can slow progress greatly and cause the need for much added

therapy to start the healing process again.

 

1) One of the most important steps in either preventing malfunction or

regenerating tired adrenals is what I call the adrenal recovery diet.

For 1-2 months the following foods must be eliminated - sugar (white,

brown, and " raw " ), honey, molasses, corn syrup, maple syrup, dried fruit

and fruit juices. No alcohol, drugs, tobacco, caffeine, is allowed. Oil

and margarine are kept to a minimum (1 teaspoon daily is allowed, but

less or none at all is preferable). Fresh fruit is allowed. After 1-2

months if you feel much improved, small amounts of honey, molasses,

dried fruit, and fruit juice, are allowed. But until then 100%

compliance is very important. If you buy prepared food - read the labels

carefully - if it has sweetening don't get it. Breads can be made using

unsweetened apple sauce or sweet potato to make the yeast rise. Many

pocket breads, chapatis, essene bread, don't use any sweetening. Again

the stricter you are the better and faster your results will be. During

the first one or two weeks on this diet some people (usually the more

severe cases) go through what I call withdrawal. Symptoms can include

irritability, feeling edgy, craving sweets and feeling like you're going

crazy. If this happens, please grin and bear it and it will eventually

pass and then you will improve rapidly. Your body is doing without

chemicals it is addicted to, and in the beginning it is a hard

transition. With patience, determination, and prayer, you will

successfully pass through.

 

2) Try to trace the problem down to its cause (see section on causes)

and if at all possible eliminate the cause.

 

3) Get enough sleep, minimize stress and exposure to toxins and

pollutants.

 

4) Mullein leaves made into tea are healing to the adrenal glands.

 

5) Dress properly for warmth and health. Clothe the extremities if it's

not very hot out.

 

6) Don't fast.

 

7) Stay off medications containing cortisone and epinephrine. If on them

consult with a holistically oriented physician to help you wean yourself

and strengthen your glands.

 

8) Stand in the shower with your back facing the spray and have it

beating down on your adrenals (just above the kidneys). Do 3 minutes of

the hottest water you can stand followed by 30 seconds of the coldest,

once daily.

 

9) Cup your hand and tap hard on the skin overlapping the adrenal glands

for 2 minutes daily (see figure 1.4).

 

10) Eat fresh parsley daily. The gel inside the aloe vera plant is also

helpful.

 

11) Evaluate the need for treating the pituitary, thyroid, liver, and

pancreas, as one or more could also be involved and need treating

simultaneously or later on in the future. For example, if the adrenals

are malfunctioning secondary to pituitary malfunction, it is the

pituitary that needs work. Or if you're not making enough cortisol it

will tax the glucagon production of the pancreas to keep your blood

sugar up, and the pancreas may eventually need work too (see respective

chapters).

 

12) Have a good chiropractor check for nerve pressure involvement (I

personally prefer one knowledgeable in Applied Kinesiology) - See

Appendix A.

 

13) Rub vigorously for 1 minute 3 times a week a reflex point located 2

inches above and 1 inch to the side of the umbilicus. There is one point

on each side (rub both) and they will probably be tender if the adrenals

are malfunctioning.

 

14) During stressful times lie down and relax and place your hands on

your forehead over your eyebrows. Stay like that for 10 minutes. It will

be very calming.

 

15) Get out in the fresh air and let the fresh air circulate in your

house. Air charged with negative ions is healing to the adrenals. This

air is abundant in the forest, seashore and mountains.

 

16) Get out in the sunshine. The latest research suggests that sunlight

striking the skin produces small amounts of epinephrine. This could help

an overworked adrenal.

 

17) The proper amount of melatonin secretion by the pineal gland (see

pineal chapter) may aid the adrenals in combating stress. Getting to bed

early is helpful for optimum production.

 

18) Decrease your stress.
