hey it’s me again in this video we’re

going to talk about another example of

evaluation again evaluation is analyzing

the data to come up with a reason why

something is the way it is it’s all it’s

the technology of solving problems I

think it’s one of the biggest thing

that’s missing in healthcare and it’s

the most valuable thing because if you

don’t have a good evaluator you solve

the wrong problem you treat the symptom

which just makes the problem persist or

camouflage the problem so let’s just

take a look at this 59 year old female

she works swing shift can’t sleep crave

sweets next if not satisfied after meals

pre-diabetic allergy sleep apnea she

bloats constipation indigestion acid

reflux low tolerance of stress with low

vitamin D level weak legs when she

climbs or does incline ulcer she had a

history of an ulcer excessive thinking

analyzing so this is a very it just

jumps right out is she has a lot of

adrenal symptoms so right there we’re

gonna right adrenal so let’s just take a

look at if they all relate to adrenal or

if not now working swing shift is going

to totally disrupt your sleep cycles our

bodies are not designed to rotate the

sleeping they’re designed to help you go

to help you sleep or make you go to

sleep when it gets dark out and wake up

when it gets light so if you’re working

against gravity that can really throw

off your internal clock so over years of

night night you know working at night

it’s going to throw you off your your

circadian rhythms which allow you to get

in sleep so that could be what created

the stress on the adrenal I’m not sure

sweet cravings they hormone what are the

hormones that the adrenal gland makes

it’s called cortisol another name for

cortisol which is the stress hormone is

glucocorticoids gluco meaning sweet

because it regulates blood sugars so a

lot of diabetics are a diabetics because

of the adrenal overacting but this could

be adrenal and then look at she’s the

pre-diabetic so we know that’s adrenal

other symptoms are adrenal

would be stiffness and inflammation

because all of the anti-inflammatories

are controlled by the adrenals think

about what they give you for pain they

inject you with a steroid shot what’s a

steroid and prednisone

those are anti-inflammatories that’s

adrenal hormones also allergies are

adrenal because some of the treatments

involve EpiPens that’s epinephrine

that’s adrenaline well why why would

that fix analogy because there’s

something related with allergies to

adrenal if you take the adrenal glands

out of dogs and different experiments

they all end up with allergies so why

wouldn’t we just take that and use that

and try to improve the adrenals see if

we can prove the allergies and a lot of

allergies occur after you know years of

stress as well but there’s other causes

sleep apnea that is really not a sleep

problem it’s a sinus swelling in the

back of the nasal pharyngeal area behind

the palate back there there’s a nerve

that controls that and it comes out of

the brainstem and it’s the tenth cranial

nerve and that can be influenced by high

levels of adrenal stress so bingo right

there that’s adrenal - not satisfied

after meals one thing that this would be

is a gall bladder problem but think

about it the gall bladder is influenced

when you have high stress that will shut

down the bile recycling of bile and the

gall bladder and give you these symptoms

right here okay so even though this

could be a low bile if we look deeper it

could be an adrenal issue because the

adrenal could cause that again we’re

trying to pull a string and see how far

we can go back indigestion that is

really low stomach acids that’s low acid

in the stomach and again one of the

characteristic things of adrenal do

relate to that in a way that you have

alkalosis so when your body is too

alkaline what can cause it is high level

of adrenal hormones cortisol there’s

this huge myth going around that

everyone is too

well maybe they do urine is but I’m

talking about the blood if that blood

becomes excessively too alkaline and you

can read this in the physiology books on

the adrenal high cortisol I’m not just

coming up with this for no reason and

your body’s too alkaline a lot of things

will happen you’ll get indigestion you

won’t be able to transport minerals

that’s where you’ll get cramps in your

legs you’ll have breathing problems at

night you’ll crave salt at night and

allergies just from being alkaline and

that’s why some of the remedies back in

the 30s for allergies was to take

something called ammonium chloride

ammonium chloride is an acidifier that

they used to use as a binder in allergy

medications and then they took it out

that was the active ingredient so

ammonium chloride is not a harmful thing

you can take it and to acidify your ph

and rid allergies one of the ways you

know you’re excessively too alkaline is

if you consume like citrus orange or

grapefruit or even lemon an hour later

you will have pain in your joints that

would be a good indicator of alkalinity

your too alkaline you can’t really tell

by your urine or saliva if your blood is

too alkaline and the problem if you take

the blood out of the the blood vessel

and chest the pH it gets exposed to

oxygen so fast it’s very difficult to

test for an alkaline blood you have to

really use these other indicators but

citrus oxidizes that breaks down and it

goes very very alkaline so when you

drink any type of citrus it’s actually

even though it’s a citric acid it turns

into an alkaline substance we’re seeing

we’re sending this state right here and

the point I’m making is I’m just trying

to give you the background of what can

happen with adrenal with your pH and how

that can relate to this as well and even

oxygen alright so now we have that could

explain indigestion because you’re going

to have a you’re gonna lose your stomach

acid in that as well and then acid

reflux is really that’s a caused by not

enough acid because

if you don’t have enough acid you won’t

be able to close that valve that that

separates your stomach from your

esophagus and because you need a really

strong acid and if that’s not there

you’ll get acid reflux so really ask the

reflux is not enough acid and the way to

fix it is to take an acid not to take an

antacid so if you take an acid like

latane how to chloride that will help

that but the fact is that this is one of

the symptoms of adrenal - not just you

know not enough acid so if we go deeper

I think most of these symptoms that this

person has there’s adrenal adrenal

adrenal right down the list so that’s

the most likely thing that we’re going

to support low tolerance of stress

that’s adrenal low vitamin D that’s

adrenal symptom weak legs climbing

that’s definitely adrenal because it

affects the lower extremities also

that’s a symptom of adrenal excessive

thinking adrenal so it’s classic adrenal

so I’m going to go with that and see if

she gets better if you if she supports

the Drina land it doesn’t work then we

have to relook at things but I like to

go with the most likely logical thing

that makes common sense I’ll see in the

next video
