The
doctor says I’m not sick but I know I’m not well. Have you ever thought that this applied to you? Your body aches all over and it is hard to get anything done. You feel anxious or depressed over simple life events. Your ability to concentrate at work and at home is diminished. You have to drag yourself out of bed each morning. On the weekends you sleep until noon but still feel tired. Your weight has become unmanageable. You seem to catch every virus that you are exposed to while others never get sick. You have become allergic to everything. Your stomach stays in knots and you are easily overwhelmed. You feel like you have lost your edge and are no longer in control. Do these symptoms describe you? If so you are suffering from physical symptoms of stress also known as adrenal fatigue. Unfortunately, millions of Americans suffer from undiagnosed stress related illnesses. Routine lab test results

are often normal
leading doctors to believe that patients are physically well.
Patients often are diagnosed with depression, anxiety, sleeping
disorders, chronic fatigue, or fibromyalgia. Prescription medications
such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, sleeping pills,
synthetic hormones, pain medication, allergy medication and antacids
are prescribed to alleviate symptoms. You know that your symptoms are real, and you are not happy at your present level of health. You are also certain that you are not depressed and are somewhat resentful that the doctor has offered you medications without a definitive diagnosis. Routine blood tests often fail to identify decreased adrenal function if the condition has not progressed to the point of disease. This newsletter will focus on how stress affects the body and the use of saliva testing to diagnose adrenal stress-related illnesses. We will also discuss how to restore normal adrenal functioning by using supplements, diet, and lifestyle changes. Restoring adrenal function allows the body to function normally and avoids the need to use drugs that only relieve symptoms. |
