A listener asked about adrenal surges and chronic fatigue (CFS) in a recent interview with Dr. Brian Clement, Director of Hippocrates Health Institute. He mentioned that although he was transitioning to the Hippocrates diet, he still ate a lot of fruit.
Dr. Brian keyed in on the sugar in the fruit. “I think that you just gave yourself the right answer at the end. You’re taking sugar, and sugar affects the hormones like nothing affects the hormones. Let’s explain what hormones are, what that has to do with adrenal fatigue and histamine activity, etc.
You have this very sophisticated chemical system in your body, you know. We scientists call it bio-chemistry. Big deal. What it really is hormones and their language is chemistry. Now part of the language is histamine. When you have a reaction to what you’ve eaten, the histamines start to pour out and activate the hormones, and all at once, bum, voila, the adrenal glands start to overactivate or in some cases start to underactivate.
That immediately provokes emotional feeling and sensation, because again, they provoke the neuron in the brain to do odd things. Brain cells that make you think, that make you understand, that make you feel and all the emotion as well as other cells in the body.
So this isn’t an odd thing that happens to you. What you need to do is to make yourself strong, slow but sure, get off the things like sugar that are going to provoke that, make sure you’re eating a lot of protein in your diet via sprouts, via blue green algae, sea vegetables, etc.
Make sure you’re spreading them not only in this case to pacify the sugar desire, but also to make the hormones balance. In some cases like yours, if you could find a very good and well experienced bio-identical hormone doctor, he or she may guide you very rapidly through this process.
Listen to Dr. Brian Clement address adrenal fatigue and chronic fatigue, CFS, and please leave me any comments or questions you may have.
