Adrenal Fatigue

Stress related Adrenal Fatigue is so common that an estimated 80% or more of people in Western developed nations worldwide suffer from it at some time in their lives, yet conventional medicine still does not recognise, adequately diagnose or treat this debilitating fatigue and stress syndrome.

According to American experts from the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER) "Persistent or chronic stress has the potential to put individuals at a substantially increased risk of depression, anxiety and many other emotional difficulties".

With compromised adrenal function, conventional medicine only recognises Addinsons disease, named after Sir Thomas Addison, who first described it in 1855. Addison’s disease is life threatening if left untreated and can involve structural and physiological damage to the adrenal glands. People suffering from Addison’s disease have to take corticosteroids for the remainder of their lives in order to function. Luckily, it is the rarest form of poor adrenal function, with an occurence of about 4 persons per 100,000.

But what about people who suffer on a daily basis with poor adrenal function, who are not Addison’s patients? The result is that millions of people needlessly suffer decreased quality of life for long periods of time. Adrenal Fatigue is a common health disorder that can affect anyone who experiences persistent or severe emotional or physical stress. It is an important contributing factor in many acute & chronic health conditions.

Many people who have been helped by Dr. Wilson’s extensive research over 30 years into stress and adrenal fatigue previously have spent fruitless years and thousands of dollars going from practitioner to practitioner before recognising themselves in Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome.

One of Dr. Wilson’s patients had been to 37 doctors before she was finally helped by a doctor who knew about adrenal fatigue, and recognised her problems. More than a few have told us what a relief it was to finally see what they were experiencing in Dr. Wilson’s book and know they were not alone or crazy. It gave them a renewed sense of hope that they could be well again.

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Wilson’s program is available through our clinic and we have seen exceptional results for those customers following the recovery programme by treating the causes of stress and fatigue, not merely the symptoms.

Once Adrenal Fatigue sets in, you may become susceptible to a long list of health complaints including respiratory infections, asthma, allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other immune disorders.

Manifestations of adrenal fatigue:

• Alcoholism
• Allergies
• Anxiety, anger (short-fuse), irritability, depression
• Arthritic pain
• Asthma
• Adult-onset diabetes - Type 2 Diabetes
• Auto-immune disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ulcerative colitis, many more)
• Confusion, poor concentration, and memory recall
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Cravings for salt or sweet foods
• Decreased immune response - recurrent coughs, colds, flu
• Difficulty during menopause (the adrenals take over the role of the ovaries after menopause)
• Fatigue inspite of sufficient sleep

• Frequent respiratory infections
• Hypoglycemia - erratic or abnormal blood sugar levels (very common)
• Increased fears, anxiety, and depression
• Insomnia
• Libido issues
