<b> three pillars of Health, the basis of general health </ b>
Let's start with an analysis of their health in the context of three major body systems:
– The hormonal system and immune
– The digestive system
– And the detoxification system.
These three systems are the "pillars of health" because the health of other body systems, such as the cardiovascular and nervous depend on the strength of these three key systems.
<b> The first pillar of true functional health: The endocrine system and immune system </ B>
Any person wishing to assess the general condition with a functional approach to diagnostic medicine can begin by a simple saliva test cheap as measures of adrenal gland function.
Because the adrenal glands are among the first organs to show signs of stress, a saliva test 24 hours measured how stress can affect your immune system by sensing changes in hormone production and balance. Saliva samples sent to a lab to undergo a functional analysis point to measure hormone levels of cortisol and DHEA. The levels of these two hormones produced by the adrenal glands, lower when the body is under stress.
The saliva test to measure activity free, bioavailable hormone that determines how hormones actually do their work at the cellular level. In addition, saliva hormone tests more accurately reflects the effectiveness of their tissues and cells are accepting that the hormones in your body, so that you can be taken through the skin (creams, gels or patches) or by mouth. Because most blood tests are not the "bio-available" hormone levels, which significantly underestimate hormones administered topically and orally. The results of urine tests in the same limit. If you trust hormone levels measured in tests of blood and urine, you can have too much cortisol and DHEA in their system and do not know.
<b> many causes of stress, burnout adrenal and adrenal glands </ b>
Adrenal stress is a collection of signs and symptoms that occur when the adrenal glands stop to function effectively. More usually associated with intense or prolonged stress can lead to adrenal exhaustion. The term "Adrenal Exhaustion" related to fatigue is not relieved by sleep. With adrenal exhaustion, you can not have any obvious signs of physical illness but live with a feeling of general health status, fatigue, or feelings "gray". People suffering from adrenal exhaustion often use coffee, colas and other stimulants to go in the morning and continue throughout the day.
This syndrome has been known by many other names in the past, such as not hypoadrenia Addison hypoadrenia subclinical, neurasthenia, neurasthenia adrenal, adrenal apathy and adrenal fatigue. Although adrenal exhaustion affects millions of people in the United States and worldwide, conventional medicine is still not recognized as a distinct syndrome. After all, is not an entity easily recognizable as varicella or mole on her arm.
Adrenal stress can also occur during or after acute or chronic infection, particularly of the digestive and respiratory (eg bacteria and yeasts undigested food and invasive fungal infections in the intestines of candida antibodies, food antigens, celiac or gluten sensitive enteropathy, or mucosal barrier function). Respiratory infections are common flu, bronchitis and pneumonia
What causes <b> adrenal exhaustion? </ B>
adrenal exhaustion results when the adrenal glands can not adequately meet the demands of stress. The adrenal glands mobilize your body's response to all types of stress (Physical, emotional or psychological) through hormones that regulate the production and storage of energy, heart rate, muscle tone, and other processes that enable it to cope with stress. If you have an emotional crisis, such as the death of a loved one, a physical crisis such as major surgery, or any repeated or constant stress in your life such as work, family and financial stress, your adrenals have to respond. If they do, or if the response is inadequate, you have a degree of adrenal exhaustion.
adrenal exhaustion can wreak havoc on your life. In severe cases, the activity of the adrenal glands is so diminished that we have difficulty getting out of bed for more a few hours a day. For each decrease of adrenal function, all organs and body systems are more deeply affected. Changes occur in your carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism, fluid balance and electrolytes, heart and cardiovascular system desire, and even sexual. To compensate for the decrease in adrenal hormones that occurs, many changes taking place in the biochemistry and cellular levels. Fortunately, your body is doing everything to make operational the adrenal glands, but it does so at a price.
Is <b> adrenal stress symptoms? </ B>
The most common symptoms of stress and, ultimately, the depletion of adrenal adrenal fatigue include depression, the inability to lose weight, cravings for sweets, decreased sexual desire, insomnia, poor memory, anxiety syndrome PMS, weakened immune response, recurrent infections, unexplained nervousness or irritability and joint or muscle pain. Since these symptoms become obvious to you, your body begins to produce profound physiological changes.

Stage <b> adrenal exhaustion 1 </ b>
Whatever the source stress, physical illness, nutritional deficiencies, emotional stress or by the initial reaction of homework or your body is the same: The adrenal glands make more stress hormones, cortisol and DHEA.
This first stage is called hyperadrenia adrenal exhaustion or hyperactivity adrenal glands. Is the attempt of the organism to cope with demands imposed by stress. Normally, when the tension dissipates, the glands had time to go back and get ready for the next stressful event. However, if the level of stress due to challenges such as chronic illness or deadline at work, your body will stay stuck at step 1 of adrenal stress. If your levels of stress hormones remain elevated for a long period of time, the ability of the adrenal glands to recover and restore their production of cortisol and DHEA decreases.
Another way to view is to think about booking your adrenal hormones, such as a savings account. If you continue to withdraw money from savings and not replaced, may not be able to recover financially. Adrenal fatigue and other symptoms of stress are signs that the reserve his body was discovered and the adrenals are depleted every time. If stress continues, its high levels of cortisol and DHEA begin to fall and then go to step 2 of adrenal exhaustion. A good example of a person under constant stress can be a young mother and wife who has many responsibilities in a day. It must go primarily to prepare breakfast and lunch for children (and perhaps she and her husband). It must be washed and dressed in time to drive children to school. When he finally arrives, she turns to her work. At work, she has the time and a boss to answer every time she looks at the clock. Three o'clock comes around and it comes to things in the office then to pick up the kids and go home. At home, it is time to prepare snacks, help with homework and preparing dinner. Six hours and her husband just feel mad house because of a situation at work and complains about her and the children. After dinner, was precipitated worse, she cleans the kitchen, helps children finish their homework, gives them baths, put to bed, and so on. Its time to sleep all does not go very fast. She falls in bed and, before long, it's time to do it again. No wonder you feel exhausted. She had no time to recover from the stress of the day before another day of it takes place in it.
Stage <b> adrenal exhaustion 2 </ b>
You can have the adrenal glands genetically strong and be able to maintain high levels of stress for many years. Or you can enter in Phase 2 as soon as they are physically and emotionally exhausted, day after day. Finally, if you continue to excessive stress, it goes to Step 2 of exhaustion adrenals. In a transition period generally takes between 6 and 18 months to go from step 1 to step 2. During this time, stress response of the adrenal glands has been weakened and compromised. Under such chronic stress, the adrenal glands term "Burn". At This time, they are so tired, can not sustain an adequate response to stress. He falls asleep exhausted but can not sleep all night. You you wake up, exhausted and can not wait for your first cup of coffee, a double espresso. Lunch and the food is believed to give you more energy leads only two zombies. You get home late at night and everything you want to do is go to sleep. If you continue in this business, proceed to Phase 3-hypoadrenalism adrenal exhaustion.
Stage <b> adrenal exhaustion 3 </ b>
In Stage 3, the adrenals are exhausted its capacity cortisol and DHEA in sufficient quantities. Now it is increasingly difficult for your body to recover and restore appropriate levels of cortisol and DHEA necessary to maintain a reasonable level of function in the body. Because cortisol keeps your mood and your energy levels, constant fatigue and depression appear weak start. As lower levels of cortisol and DHEA, depression experience of mental function, impaired memory and mental confusion. Without intervention at this stage of adrenal exhaustion, which may be suffering adrenal insufficiency.
Adrenal Exhaustion <b> hormones affect your sex? </ B>
Because all your hormones are linked by biochemical pathways induced by stress and exhaustion of cortisol, DHEA directly affects female hormones progesterone and estrogen. The hormone predominantly male, testosterone is also affected. Male hormonal symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, food cravings sweets, headaches, menstrual cramps, infertility and may be related to the inability of the adrenal glands to adapt stress. Menopause symptoms night sweats and hot flashes can also be linked to the health of the adrenal glands. Many women think they are on emotional roller coaster with female hormones, however, few health care providers to understand the role of adrenal glands play in the production of female hormones and balance.
Testosterone levels in men also suffer from poor result of the production the adrenal cortisol and DHEA. Because sex hormone levels drop and fall in levels of cortisol and DHEA, sexual desire for men and women decreases.
<b> bone loss, pain and inflammation </ b>
A When cortisol levels are abnormal due to stress chronic adrenal fatigue, bone loss may also occur. This is due to excessive intake of mineral blocks cortisol. If you take calcium supplements to help protect against bone loss and increases cortisol, the body is not easy to absorb calcium. You can then precipitate or excretion of their bones and deposited in the joints. This can cause arthritis or deposits in blood vessels, increase the risk of hardening of the arteries. In addition, cortisol is necessary to reduce
The following diagram shows the three stages of depletion adrenals. This shows that, by continuing over-stimulation of the adrenal glands (constant stress), your body moves in various stages of exhaustion they end in adrenal insufficiency adrenal.
<b> The role of digestive enzymes </ b>
Digestive Enzymes are protein molecules found in the gastrointestinal tract. They break down food components that can be used by the body for reproduction Energy and the cell. The main production sites of digestive enzymes are the oral cavity (mouth), stomach and small intestine. The enzymes are secreted by different glands: the salivary glands in the mouth, glands of the stomach, pancreas and glands in the intestine hail.
The inability to digest food proteins is an example of an enzyme deficiency that results from eating an unbalanced diet. Without enough enzymes, your body can not break his food for use in energy production or other processes that the body needs to sustain life.
If you have low levels of digestive enzymes will not be able to fully utilize the food they consume. All food that is not digested by enzymes to become quite toxic to your body. These partially digested food to provide fuel supply micro-organisms such as fungi, bacteria and parasites. Health to maintain the enzymes are abundant in raw and cooked vegetables lightly and fruits, and should be part of your daily food intake.
Digestive enzymes are present in many foods you eat raw fruits and vegetables, for example. When cooking fruits and vegetables, many of these enzymes are destroyed in the process of heating and exhaust the body to produce its own digestive enzymes. When down, other enzymes needed for immune function and more than 4000 biochemical reactions can get blood drawn channels in the system. This leads to depletion of the enzyme that are not directly related to digestion.
If you have exhausted its reserves of digestive enzymes by poor eating habits can be improved by increasing consumption of fruits and raw vegetables or use dietary supplement law. They will help you stay in an anabolic or rebuilding the state. Consultation enzymes help digest proteins, fats and carbohydrates that are essential to maintain stable blood sugar and overall health. Consult your healthcare professional functional diagnosis on appropriate diets and supplements digestion back to health.

<b> Dysbiosis and digestive problems hidden </ b>
Dysbiosis is an imbalance in healthy organisms or "good" bacteria that populate your digestive tract and intestines. A positive result can point to indicate Dysbiosis and digestive enzyme deficiencies.
Dysbiosis can be caused by parasitic infections, bacterial overgrowth or yeast known as Candida invasive. Occult or subclinical inflammatory conditions may also interfere with digestion and cause positive effect on reading tests indicated. Subclinical means subtle problems that are often lost because it causes no obvious symptoms until months or years later.
Many causes of chronic health problems such as digestive disorders are subclinical (hidden) and functional tests require sophisticated diagnostic of the reveal. Food intolerance is a common cause of inflammation hidden in the gastrointestinal tract. For example, some people are sensitive grain molecules containing gluten found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. Other people react to lactose in dairy products or sugar itself. These types of reactions to foods are often hidden in people with chronic digestive disorders. Symptoms such as gas, bloating, nausea, stomach cramps are good examples of reactions to specific food intolerances.
A professional health are not trained in diagnosing subtle digestive problems can suggest an antacid to treat the symptom rather than seeking the cause of disturbance, the abolition of the substance in question, or recommended by Enzymatic Therapy. convenient saliva tests are available to determine what type of reactions food. Parasitic infections are another example of gastrointestinal problems often go undiagnosed, which can be identified by testing stool done at home and then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
<b> Unpleasant parasites </ b>
Parasitic infections not only in third world countries. Many people believe that parasites as a problem that was eliminated in industrialized countries through the world. But as more trips to and from other countries, the world is shrinking. And with this trip, the parasites are popping up everywhere. Fortunately, Recent improvements in methods of diagnostic tests to enable health professionals to identify high levels of infection parasite by a simple test at home stool.
Parasites are usually acquired by self-inoculation, which means that most often passed from hand to mouth. This may result from consumption in restaurants where the staff has poor hygiene and contaminated food, or salad bars and buffets food sits long enough to attract airborne bacteria and other users. Bathroom managing money, shaking hands with people, and public use are forms that can be exposed to possible parasitic infections. The key to reducing the risk of infection is to wash hands frequently, especially before and after eating and going to the bathroom.
When more people are exposed to the same pathogen, or an infectious organism, a person may be able to fight, while another may become infected. This was widely seen several bodies bacteria, especially E. coli outbreaks. The bacterium E. coli, most commonly found in meat products and fresh produce, causing severe gastrointestinal disease and, in some cases has been fatal. Although many people are exposed to the same contaminated meat or produce, some react more severely than others. This difference reflects the sensitivity of monitoring of the mucosa of the body of the first line of defense discussed above.
When you have a strong mucosal immunity (Normal SIGA), the lining of the gastrointestinal tract is able to repel the invading pathogens. Studies have shown that if waning immunity of the mucosa, which have a reduced ability to fight successfully against pathogens. For example, an autoimmune disease which may have hindered your body fight against bacteria or virus that is exposed every single day. You can leave more likely to have a reaction severe common cold. In some cases this can lead to fatal pneumonia.
Detection of infectious microorganisms <b> </ b>
To fight against a weakened immune system and parasite infections, it is useful to know about new technologies and tests have been developed to detect infectious microorganisms. A new test called the fecal antigen test. It is very effective in identifying acute infections and chronic parasites detected earlier test methods obsolete. bacterial overgrowth of undigested food and yeast and invasive fungal infections in the intestines are also common causes of digestive stress. They may also require additional testing, as a yeast, Candida antibodies, antigens, food, enteropathy or celiac gluten sensitivity, or the barrier function of mucosal
gastrointestinal tract infections are very common and can be clinical (symptomatic) or subclinical (without symptoms). Many patients seeking care from a health professional who received a diagnosis or more functional gastrointestinal (GI) infections. Some have active gastrointestinal symptoms, other are presented with general complaints such as fatigue, muscle aches, headaches, cognitive disorders, dizziness, brain fog, and / or discomfort.
Even more worrisome to have a primary infection by the IG is the tendency of invading micro-organisms to transform into different stages their life cycle, and migrate to distant tissues and organs sometimes gastrointestinal tract. Cryptosporidium parvum in such cases can be found in the lung and conjunctiva (White part) of eyes and Helicobacter pylori was found in the oral cavity and prostate. These measures, including cysts can remain dormant in tissues, and can be difficult to detect. It is therefore very important test for gastrointestinal infections using two immunological and microbiological tests.
