Many people suffer a wide variety of symptoms that
have one common denominator: low metabolic energy. This most commonly
involves two of the "primary players" in the endocrine system - the adrenal
and thyroid glands. An excellent article explaining the relationship of
these two important glands and how we can diagnose which organ is causing
the problem can be found {low_metabolic} here.
A good test to indicate the general health of the
adrenal glands is called Ragland's test. In a person who has adequately
functioning adrenal glands, the systolic blood pressure is about 10 mm. higher
when a person is standing than when he is lying down.
Procedure for Testing:
- Lie down and take the blood pressure
- Stand and take the blood pressure
- Rest for 6 minutes lying down
- Stand up and immediately take the blood pressure
Interpretation of Test:
- If the blood pressure is 10 mm Hg. lower after standing,
suspect adrenal gland weakness.
- The greater the drop in blood pressure the greater the
degree of adrenal dysfunction.
I have seen symptoms of adrenal malfunction improve
rapidly in as little as 2-3 days. In cases where the adrenals have been
exhausted over a long period of time, it can take 2-3 months. The point is, is
that those people who have had the worst diets and have abused the adrenals the
most will take longer to heal. The dietary changes a person makes is paramount
to their speed of recover.
The following reflexes may be active when the the
adrenal glands are malfunctioning:
These reflexes should be tested and treated with the
proper supplementation.
