adrenal gland

HEALING AND KIDNEY/ADRENAL FUNCTION .                                                                             

In  Chinese  medicine  the  function  of the  kidneys  and  adrenal  glands  are  almost  inseparable. Ironically the adrenal glands are located directly on top  of the  kidneys.  These  two systems,  kidneys and adrenals, often work together to heal the body. Indeed,  without properly  functioning kidneys  and adrenal  glands,  healing  will  fail  to  take  place properly.  This  is  true  for  bones,  joints,  tissues, osteoporosis, heart disease, and more.



Picture
Since  adrenal  glands  are  critical  to  good  hormone  production,  your  hormone  status is  also closely  linked  to  the kidney/adrenal  system.  Yet if you  can't build strong bones,  if your hormones  are completely  out of balance,  if you  are plagued  by  tears  or decades  of hot flashes:  if your heart disease will not get better, if you are drenched at night in  sweat,  neither you  nor your doctor would  ever think of the kidney/adrenal system as the cause.


Even  if you  did  think  of this  connection  and brought  it  up  to  your  doctor,  he  or  she  would simply  take  adrenal  hormone  tests,  urinalysis,  and kidney blood tests. In most cases  your kidneys and adrenals  would  be  pronounced  as  "perfectly healthy."  But  that  is  rarely  the  case.  Because  of limited  medical  testing  of  organ  systems,  your  kidney/adrenal system can be failing while you have normal lab and blood tests.

If  this is the case, you will never heal or regenerate properly. You will be stuck–-as are tens of millions of people–- in a state of degenerative health while taking drugs to mask symptoms and making endless trips to the doctor, all to no avail.
Picture


What Can You Do?

There  is  almost  always  a course  of action  to follow  to  help  promote healing.  The same is  true of the kidney/adrenal  system.  The best place  to start  is  with  specific  testing.  The Ragland Test   is the  best  beginning.  If you  don't  have  a  blood pressure  cuff and  stethoscope,  have  a  nurse  or doctor friend help you with this test. It is simple yet the results can be profound.


Lie  down  on  your  back  quietly  for  a  couple minutes,  then  take your blood pressure and record it  on  a piece  of paper.  Without taking  the  blood pressure  cuff off your arm,  stand  up  and immediately  take your blood  pressure  again.  Your systolic pressure  (the  first number)  must  rise  when you  stand  up.  This  is  your body's  mechanism  of getting  blood  quickly  to  your head  so  you  don't faint or fall  over.  The chemical  agent in your body responsible  for this  phenomenon  is  adrenal  hormone also known as  the fight or fight response.


If you  perform  this  test and your blood  pressure rises  ten  or more points,  you  have  ruled  out the adrenal  system  as  a cause  of your health problems.  If your  blood  pressure  does  not  rise,  you have discovered the following:

1.    Your adrenal  glands  are  exhausted  and/or failing.  This  may  be  due  to  chronic  stress,  prescription drugs, poor diet:  total  lack of exercise.  or some other cause.

2.    Your kidneys are also not working properly because  failing  adrenal  glands  indirectly  cause failing kidney function~the Chinese were correct about these two systems working as one.

3.    Your liver may  also  be involved  since the liver and kidneys  work hand-in~hand  to  keep  the body  toxin-free.  The  liver is  often  referred  to  in other cultures as a third kidney.

4.    Your skin  may  be  suffering,  since failing kidneys  and  liver. will  cause  a spill-over of waste which has  to  be handled  by  the lungs  and/or skin. Chronic skin problems are often caused by this phenomenon. If so, you can easily the folly of treating your skin with some lotion, potion: cream, liniment, or other external medicine.

5.    You  need  kidney  and  adrenal  support  to resolve  the  underlying  causes  of  your  health problems. These are some of the reasons  so  many  people finally get well after completing two or three three-week liver/kidney detoxification sessions . By supporting the kidneys  and liver,  chronic stress on the body is  lowered.  This improves  adrenal function, builds stronger kidneys and liver, as well as healthier lungs  and  skin.  When  combined  with  adrenal support, this protocol is even more powerful.
Treat the Cause                                                                                                                                                  
Test your adrenal/kidney system today with the Ragland test.  If you fail  the test,  you  need to  take action.  Try to  eliminate the chronic  stress  in  your life. In  some cases  more exercise,  deep  breathing, meditation,  or some other form  of stress reduction is needed. And always support your adrenal system nutritionally.  We  use  Drenamin  as  the  premier adrenal  supplement.  Produced  by  Standard Process,  it  contains  adrenal  extract,  with  a  host  of vitamins  and  minerals  from  liver,  yeast,  buck~ wheat,  raw  bone,  allantoin,  alfalfa,  and  more.  A dose of three to nine daily is generally proper. And you can test your results~a novel  concept in the world  of supplements.  Just  continue  taking  the Ragland test to measure your response.

Picture
Remember that the adrenals and kidneys work together. Kidney  detoxification  and  support are always  a good  idea.  The following  are  the  premier kidney  products,  also from  Standard Process: Albaplex  (6-9/day), Arginex  (6-9/day), and Renafood (6-9/day).  Take  all products  in  three divided doses  with  meals.  You  can  also  measure your results  by  performing  urinalysis  and  kidney/liver blood tests every three to four months.

When your kidney/adrenal system works  well, you  are  a much,  much  healthier person.  This kind of protocol  has  dramatic  effects  on  healing,  hormones, blood pressure and heart, joints, bones,  and osteoporosis.  Naturally your kidneys,  lungs,  liver, and  skin  will  all  benefit.  Usually  it  takes  from three to six months to get the job done. And if you do not eliminate the chronic emotional  stress,  the syndrome can go on forever.

When your kidney/adrenal  system  is the root cause of high blood pressure, for example, you can clearly  see  the  folly  of using  powerful  drugs  to suppress  blood pressure  numbers  while  ignoring the  cause.  That is  why  lowering  blood  pressure numbers with drugs has little to do with helping to prevent a heart attack.  Rather it is  artificially  lowering the numbers,  allowing  the body  to  continue in turmoil.
Picture
So if you  are stuck,  support your kidney/adrenal  system.  It is  at the root cause  of many  health problems.  It is  always  overlooked  by  medicine.  It is  ignored by just about everyone-until  there is real  kidney  disease.  Not  one in  1,000 physicians has  any  idea  about  the  entire  concept  of  this system  as  a  cause  of disease.  And  not  one  in  a million  can  relate  it  to  bones, joints,  and  osteoporosis.  But  your body  will  never be  able  to  rebuild joints  and  bones  without  a  healthy  kidney/ adrenal  system.  So  test yourself now,  and  treat accordingly.  You  will  be truly pleased with  your results.
