Today I’m talking a bit about adrenal glands and the importance of
what they do in your body.
But first:
I am not a doctor. I cannot diagnose or recommend any
treatment for any illness or disease. My knowledge is from research and
interaction with my physician. You must do your own research and consult your
own physician. I will include links to websites I’ve used and provide notations
as to where I have gathered my information.
I do not claim that essential oils can cure you of illness. Young
Living Essential Oils can assist in supporting your body so it can do
what it is made to do. They are not a cure.
With that said, have you ever thought about adrenal glands?
I hadn’t until it was a glaring factor in the health of my daughter. Did I
learn about it from our conventional physician? No.
It wasn’t until we moved here to Las Vegas and I found a functional
medical practitioner.
‘Functional Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a
systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a
therapeutic partnership. It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better
addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century.’ http://bit.ly/2x3yo48
(You know, I was going to write here something about both kinds of medicine so as not to offend anyone, but... it's my blog! Make your own decisions. These are ours.)
The adrenal glands have a multi-functional role in the
endocrine system. The two very different parts of these glands, the medulla and
cortex, regulate and maintain many of your internal processes- from metabolism
to the fight-or-flight response. http://bit.ly/2N5zs1Y
Do I understand all this? No. That is why I consult a functional
physician. What I DO know, is that my daughter is having so many issues. These
issues have been getting worse. There are so many and we are finding out that
the adrenal glands and their condition may be what is causing the problems. Most
traditional doctors only treat a patient who is in adrenal failure. (as far as
I can tell so far)
We don’t want it to come to that.
We started looking at functional medicine a couple of years
ago, after Mary’s car accident. She has always had problems with allergies, but
after the accident everything got worse. We started with her regular physician
who just kept giving her every kind of allergy medicine, both prescription and
over-the-counter. Nothing gave her any relief. (We found out later that she is
allergic to the binding agents and dyes that they use in those products.)
We finally urged (insisted) that he refer us to an
allergist. There we found she was allergic to SO much, it was ridiculous. I’d
never seen a doctor actually afraid to leave the room because he was worried
about an anaphylactic response to the scratch test he’d performed.
We ran the gambit of tests and doctors to no avail. No one
knew why. No one had an opinion. Except the ENT. He ‘blamed’ us. (Want his
name? He’s in Georgia. I would not recommend him. Message me)
Don’t get me wrong. There is room for both types of
medicine! If I break a bone, have a heart attack, whatever, I’m heading to the
emergency room. But why not try and get to the bottom of things instead of just
taking a handful of pills? You have to engage in your health and the choices
you are given. (I won’t go into the profit of traditional health care)
We have not reached any conclusions yet. We are focusing on
bettering her health. We cannot FIX what is going on with a pill. We are
working on diet and nutrition. We are supplementing our diets. We are using
essential oils and supplements that we trust.
Key word: Trust.
