CONSEQUENCES OF TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE ADRENALIN

Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details. Knowledge is not intelligence. In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected. Change alone is unchanging. The same road goes both up and down. The beginning of a circle is also its end. Not I, but the world says it: all is one. And yet everything comes in season.

Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline or adrenalin) is a hormone and a neurotransmitter. Epinephrine has many functions in the body, regulating heart rate, blood vessel and air passage diameters, and metabolic shifts; epinephrine release is a crucial component of the fight-or-flight response of the sympathetic nervous system. Just like the fittest survive or he who fights and run lives to fight another day.


There is no new thing under the sun.

The adrenal glands work together with the pituitary gland and hypothalamus in the brain to produce a number of different hormones. These hormones are key components for your health and vitality.
They are responsible for the functioning of every tissue, organ and gland in the body, as well as affecting the way we think. Adrenal glands maintain metabolic processes by managing blood sugar levels and regulating inflammation as well as the balance of salt and water.

Life is a progress, and not a station.

The primary function of the adrenals is to assist your body in dealing with all forms of stress including physical, emotional and psychological stress.

We live in an era when rapid change breeds fear, and fear too often congeals us into a rigidity which we mistake for stability.

Many circumstances cause an individual to feel stressed ranging from illness, injury, feeling overworked, under pressure, having too little sleep (insomnia), a family quarrel or financial problems.
When one has a low adrenal function, the body struggles to adapt to these stresses.

Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice I can help the greatest of all causes goodwill among men and peace on earth.

Causes of Adrenal Gland Disorders

Adrenal gland disorders occur when the body produces either too much or too little of the adrenal hormones. There are various types of adrenal gland disorders, some with different effects and symptoms.

A stop sign is a gift for you to learn that moving in the same direction won't take you any place new.

Types of Adrenal Gland Disorders

● Cushing's Syndrome
Cushing’s syndrome is caused when the body produces more cortisol than it needs. The high level of hydrocortisone may be due to an adrenal gland tumor, enlargement of both adrenal glands due to a pituitary tumor secreting excessive stimulatory hormones or it can be secondary to taking corticosteroid drugs for a long period of time.

When it is not necessary to change, it is necessary not to change.

● Addison’s Disease
Addison’s disease is a rare disorder caused by a deficiency of hydrocortisone and aldosterone. This disease is usually caused by an autoimmune disorder as a result of the immune system attacking the adrenal gland. It progresses slowly, and acute episodes called Addisonian crises are brought about by injury, infection or other stresses.

You can't expect to meet the challenges of today with yesterday's tools and expect to be in business tomorrow.

● Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic disorder. There are six major variants but each involves a missing enzyme in the pathway of cortisol production. The body produces increasingly more stimulatory hormones to try to increase the production of cortisol but, because this pathway cannot be completed, the stimulus is mistakenly directed into over-producing the androgenic hormones.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

● Adrenal Virilism
Adrenal virilism is usually genetic, but in rare cases adrenal virilism is caused by an adrenal gland tumor. It is the development or premature development of male secondary sexual characteristics as a result of the male sex hormones (androgens) being excessively produced by the adrenal gland. This disorder can occur before birth and can lead to sexual abnormalities in newborns. It may also occur in girls and women later in life.

In order to change, we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired.

● Pituitary Tumours
The pituitary gland is located in the brain and assists with regulating the activity of the adrenal glands as well as most of the other glands in the body. Benign (non-cancerous) tumors may grow on the pituitary gland restricting the release of the stimulatory hormones or occasionally the tumor may secrete excessive amounts of stimulatory hormones.

People wish to be settled. It is only as far as they are unsettled that there is any hope for them.

● Adrenal Gland Cancer
Adrenal gland cancer is rare and occurs in the endocrine tissue of the adrenals. It can affect any group, but mostly affects young adults. A cancer that occurs in the adrenal cortex is called an adrenocortical carcinoma and brings about symptoms that include high blood pressure, diabetes, weight gain, weakening of the bones and excess body hair. A cancer in the adrenal medulla is called a pheochromocytoma and may cause high blood pressure, palpitations, headaches, and excessive perspiration.

● Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is rare genetic disorder characterized by symptoms that include progressive adrenal gland dysfunction and a loss of myelin the fatty substance that insulates and surrounds the nerve cells in the brain. This is generally a severe childhood disease affecting only boys as a result of the genetic defect being sex linked recessive (carried on the X chromosome). It is a progressive disorder that leads to complete disability or death.

Early civilizations complained about still earlier ones, much as we do about both.

Adverse reactions to adrenaline include palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmia, anxiety, headache, tremor, hypertension, and acute pulmonary edema.
