    Hi Herbmaster,
    I wanted to let you know that I included links to 4 pain-related lenses on the bottom of my new lens, and this is one that I chose. It is so thorough! Great job! :) http://www.squidoo.com/does-acupuncture-hurt

    Sadly, adrenal fatigue is considered "pseudoscience" unless it comes under the umbrella of adrenal imbalance or Addison's Disease. The science is clearly there -- the adrenal glands help to regulate over 50 different hormonal responses -- stress to these glands leads to a variety of illnesses including, fibromyalgia. Thanks for this piece and be sure to check out "Beating Fibromyalgia the Natural Way Part I," a 3 part series that discusses the role of adrenal fatigue in fibromyalgia and my personal health regimen that has alleviated nearly all of my symptoms. Thanks!

    I remember when fibromyalgia was considered pseudoscience. Anyway, most of this name-calling is arbitrary but serves as a tool to understand and assist correction. I am more concerned with kidney fatigue or failure than adrenal fatigue. When the kidneys go then the sustaining life-force is depleted. Adrenals are important too. I'll come by and see your work and open to learn.

    When you say chronic fatigue syndrome are you referring to Addison's Disease?
  • HERBMASTER Mar 31, 2012 @ 6:50 am | delete
    I refer to most of the adrenal deficiency syndromes. Natural medicine is restricted from using medical terms (illegal) as Addison or Waterhouse-Friderichsen. While I have studied those theories, I look at it finally from a Chinese medicine perspective that there are additional reasons for the deficiency of hormones that are invisible to practitioners who have not been trained to see or prefer not to see. MY teacher was a MD and chemist before reforming back to his father's practice of Chinese medicine. So the understanding of conventional and Chinese medicine was expected of me to understand and appreciate. You can't beat the diagnostics of conventional medicine. Great system.

    You know MDs use many different names for the same disease for differentiation and to appease egos. We all need some recognition! ;)

    To ignore adrenal exhaustion can lead to a tumor on your adrenal gland. I went through a period that lasted close to a year of extreme stress. It felt like I was running constantly on adrenaline. The thinning of the skin on the tops of my hands was the first sign something was wrong. Breathe in and breathe out. Take the time every day for yourself to release stress.

    Fantastic lens!

    Your section on "FOOD THERAPY FOR EXHAUSTION CONDITIONS" is the best I've seen on the web.

    This condition seems to underly alot of diseases. If you don't have energy then you can't protect the body, immunity breaks down, body organs don't function, life force leaves, we die!
