Adrenal Syndrome is a health concern that means your body is less able to cope with stress. According to Hans Selye, when the body is met by something that stresses it, it undergoes three stages of adaption to it. The first is the alarm phase. The second it the resistance phase and the third is the exhaustion phase. Your Vital Adrenals The adrenal glands are where the body's primary stress reaction mechanism resides. In the first or alarm phase one sees the initial reaction of the body to the stressor and involves increasing activity of the gland. With repeated exposure, the adrenals are capable of increasing in size and function to adapt to the stress. However after a time the adrenal glands become exhausted and are no longer able to maintain the adaption to the stress. When doctors see patients with adrenal syndrome they may be in stage one, but more likely in stage three. In the former there is usually an obvious connection between symptoms and cause. But a patient who appears in stage three may not have any clear cut cause for the condition. For example, the patient who has symptoms of allergy may have been in stage two for a considerable period of time. By the time they reach the third stage, there are no clues to account for the signs and symptoms presented. Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue The symptoms of adrenal syndrome are many and varied, reflecting the widespread functions of the adrenal glands. These include fatigue, exhaustion, chemical and environmental sensitivities, allergies, mental aberrations, poor circulation, digestive problems and much else besides. How To Treat Adrenal Syndrome Treatment of chronic fatigue must work on at least two fronts. First off is stress reduction through relaxation or meditation techniques or biofeedback. Secondly the adrenals themselves need direct support by improving the diet - more fruits and vegetables and less sugar and refined carbs. Stimulants such as tobacco, alcohol and caffeine require a gradual reduction. Nutrition Support Vitamin C complex and the B vitamin group are important nutrional support factors. Supplements that contain raw spleen and adrenal factors from bovine sources can also offer valuable support by providing RNA and DNA factors.
