Hemorrhoids, Asthma And Flaky Skin.
Hypoadrenia Can Be The Cause.
Did you ever see the TV commercial that shows people squirming around in their seat and how applying a topical treatment provides relief? That’s probably a good idea for a short-term fix and treating symptoms but it might be a better idea to find the cause and remedy the problem.
Abnormal blood pooling can cause hemorrhoids. Veins from the small and large intestines, spleen, pancreas, stomach and anal region all drain into the liver. A congested liver can cause back-pressure and excess amounts of blood to pool in the abdominal and pelvic regions. This can lead to hemorrhoids, varicose veins and poor circulation in the legs and feet. Weak adrenals won’t secrete sufficient hormones to slightly increase the heart rate when rising from lying or sitting to standing. This allows blood to pool in the lower areas of the body. Stressed adrenals overwork and congest the liver. The kidney/adrenal/liver connection also appears in the Chinese “mother-daughter” law.
Asthma can be a symptom of hypoadrenia through the hypoglycemic connection. What is often suspected as a food allergy may be due to low adrenal function. Another connection may be aspirin. One piece of research states that 20% to 25% of children exhibit asthma symptoms within an hour after taking aspirin. Aspirin is a salicylate and substances containing salicylates often cause asthma problems. Lots of foods contain salicylates but in minute amounts. The preservative metabisulfite, found in pickled foods, sausage, dehydrated fruit and fruit juices, can also be a trigger for asthma. Metabisulfite is estimated to affect two-thirds of all asthmatic children.
The scaling, flaking skin condition known a seborrheic dermatitis can be another symptom of hypoadrenia. The condition is caused by excess secretion of a natural oil called sebum, which is produced by the sebaceous glands. Hormones, specifically androgen, control the sebaceous gland secretion. The adrenals are responsible for the secretion of androgen, a male hormone that occurs in both sexes. In both dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis your adrenal hormone production is out of balance. According to research information taking supplemental hormones are not the answer. The best approach is to strengthen the adrenals and balance the problem naturally. Hormone supplementation can be deleterious and should only be undertaken with the supervision of a qualified health provider.
Any additional burden on the adrenals can cause seborrheic dermatitis to grow worse. Sugar and stress are the two most likely suspects. Sugar depletes the B-vitamins required by the adrenals. Stress is a trigger for the adrenals to secrete the fight or flight hormones, cortisol and adrenaline, which are also known as the death hormones. Cigarettes are a vasoconstrictor, raise blood pressure and stress the adrenals whose job it is to regulate the blood pressure.
Addison’s disease is an underactive adrenal problem. Cushing’s syndrome is an overactive problem. Cushing’s sufferers are generally heavy in the buttocks and abdominal areas, have moon faces, muscular weakness, red marks similar to acne, increased body hair growth, very thin limbs, stretch marks and bruises caused by thinning of the skin and are very susceptible to illness and slow to recover or heal properly.
Impairment of the adrenals can be caused by cortisone treatment for arthritis and asthma. Consumption of caffeine can deplete the adrenals. Caffeine is not only found in coffee it’s also in black and green teas and in high amounts in most soft drinks. Soft drinks also contain large amounts of phosphoric acid. When the body realizes there is excessive phosphoric acid in the bloodstream it begins pulling calcium from the bones to reach a state of balance. Phosphorous is essential for health and a one to one ratio is considered optimum. The average American ingests two to four times more phosphorous than calcium, mostly from junk food and sodas. Sodas contain large amounts of sugar and most coloring in sodas is derived from coal tars. Weakened adrenals aren’t able to properly regulate the amount of sodium (salt) your body retains. Excessive amounts of sodium can affect heart function and low sodium decreases the amount of water in the blood causing blood pressure problems.
