Thyroid InsufficiencyThyroid 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.

How Stress affects the adrenalsHow 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.

Pregnenolone: a Radical New Appoach to Pregnenolone: a Radical New Appoach to Health, Longevity, and Emotional HealthHealth, 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.

Kidney & Bladder dis-comfortKidney & 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.
