Natural Ways To Build Up Your Adrenal Glands
There are majority of people suffering from autoimmune conditions, people even have a weak immune system. All of these conditions are linked to the adrenal glands, I will be explaining that in a bit what the adrenal glands exactly are, the roles and how you naturally build the adrenal glands to maintain your immune system and especially curing autoimmune diseases. One of the most common myth by doctors is that autoimmune disease is caused by overactive immune system, this is actually false, it is basically the opposite. When your immune system is suppressed, that causes autoimmune disease. it is actually very simple to prove it too. Ever notice that when people have stress and depression, their autoimmune disease gets even worse? That is why the immune suppressant medications DOES NOT solve the problem at all but relieves symptoms and that is basically it.
What are the adrenal glands?
So the adrenal glands are glands located at the top of the kidneys, they look like triangle shaped gland that are attached on the top of the kidneys. Some people even call it the “stress glands” because these glands helps the body to respond physical and mental stress, the adrenal glands adapt the different parts of the body so that it can cope with it. If you are running away from something or someone, the adrenal glands will activate more blood flow to the muscle, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, mental acuity so that you are prepared what to do and that you can run away or even fight, that is why there is a phrase called “Fight or Flight.” The adrenal glands outside are gland tissues but the inside are nerve tissues. It is the nerve tissues that makes neurotransmitters or known as hormones such as adrenaline which is an anti-histamine hormone, noradrenaline which is basically pre-adrenaline, you have catecholamines such as dopamine, serotonin, GABA and so on. These are parts of the sympathetic nervous system which is the flight or fight mechanism. The outside of the adrenal glands which are the tissues has couple of more important hormones such as cortisol which is the stress hormone, mineralocorticoid, DHEA and so on. These hormones are steroids. We produce a very little amount of steroids, which is why when people inject steroids for muscle and bodybuilding, it crashes your adrenal glands big time which causes immune suppression so make sure that nobody ever takes steroids, we have our own steroids naturally produced by the adrenal glands. Stress is one of the biggest problem of immune suppression, it crashes your adrenal glands very fast, so make sure to avoid stress as much as possible.
Natural ways to build up your adrenal glands
Doctors says that there is no proper cure for autoimmune disease, since they claim that autoimmune is caused by overactive immune system, they give immune suppression drugs that do not work. Steroids medication relieves symptoms because they are anti-inflammatory. However it will not cure or even properly treat autoimmune disease and again, overactive immune system DOES NOT cause autoimmune disease, it is when the immune system is suppressed that truly causes it. To make things very clear and simple, the easiest way to prove that immune suppression is the true cause of autoimmune is stress, also stimulants such as nicotine, caffeine, steroids and especially ephedrine. In order to build up the adrenal glands is the absolute first choice is natural vitamin C found in acerola cherry, amla berries, kiwis (Chinese gooseberry). My best recommendations are acerola cherry and amla berries in powders since both contains extremely high amount of natural vitamin C. The vitamin C in amla is 12 times more powerful than the synthetic ascorbic acid in pills and so on. I highly do not recommend ascorbic acid since they are extremely unstable while natural vitamin C such as in amla are very stable because it is protected by other antioxidants by polyphenols and stuff.
My next choice would be vitamin B5, highest amount of it is in bee pollen but be careful if you’re allergic to pollen prone. Other sources of B5 are found in oat bran, nutritional yeasts, seaweeds, rice bran and nettle leaf. Next what you gonna need are adaptogenic herbs. I personally like ashwagandha, schisandra berries, amla, nettle leaf, astragalus, suma root, chinese licorice root, siberian ginseng and especially gynostemma. All of them are very beneficial of the adrenal glands. The reason why is because the adrenal glands modulates the immune system by producing hormones such as corticosteroids. Another thing what is very important is vitamin D, vitamin D helps with the immune modulation, so try to go outside and feel the sunlight shining upon you, or take vitamin D3 supplement of 2000 micrograms, not 50,000, because it has risk and it is way too much so low amount of vitamin D3 is already beneficial. Try to avoid stress as much as possible. Also stay away from pharmaceutical steroids and all stimulants like caffeine and nicotine. Keep in mind that caffeine can be found in many hidden sources including aspirin, kola nut (bissy nut) and guarana (extremely high). I also recommend avoiding adrenal glandulars as these can atrophy the adrenals with long term use. That is how you exactly cure any autoimmune disease.
