Adrenal glands are two small triangle shaped endocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys. These are the glands that let us deal with Stress of life, no matter what the nature of that stress may be. They pump hormones that raise the heart rate, raise the blood glucose levels and redirect the blood flow, adjust the blood pressure so that one can be ready to face the Fight or Flight situation of dealing with stress. When one is under the relentless unresolved stressors for prolonged periods of time, Adrenal glands get exhausted in meeting the demands of the life.

Adrenal exhaustion is one of the primary reasons of Chronic Fatigue. Medical establishment recognizes only the near complete failure of these glands which is termed Addison’s disease. The famous person in history to be with this disease was John F. Kennedy whose Adrenal glands failed to produce enough hormones that he needed cortisone treatments.

The problem the Chronic Fatigue sufferers face is that their Adrenal glands are functional to the extent that it goes undetected by the medical establishment to offer any needed help. It may take generations before the parameters are adjusted to offer any help to these unfortunate sufferers. What they need is only a little help to bring them back to fully normal functioning. Their Stress glands are stressed out and exhausted and need a little help to get back up and running again!

In reality, having no solution from medical establishment in this situation in fact works in favor of the sufferer and should be considered a fortunate blessing. It opens the doors to frontiers of exploration of fascinating aspects of whole health in general which changes the course of one’s life for the better. But, be aware that this journey requires thirst for knowledge, confidence and determination to succeed under any circumstances.
