Cushing's Disease In Dogs

one of the most common body types is the adrenalbody type. let me explain. the adrenal gland sits on top of your kidneyand there are two little triangle glands that sit right on top of the kidney. the purpose of the adrenals is to counterthis one thing called stress.

Cushing's Disease In Dogs, the adrenals have everything to do with stress,emotional stress, physical stress, infection, you name it. emotional stress, by the way, like lossescan hit the adrenals a thousand times more than actual physical stress.

that's why a loss of a loved one can turninto a major problem with your health. the first problem with this adrenal glandbody type is you start developing what's called belly fat. now, this is my nice diagram of belly fat. that's someone standing side with their bellyhanging out because they have a ... it's called pendulous abdomen, a sagging belly. this fat in the belly is 100% coming fromcortisol. cortisol is the hormone that activates fatbeing stored in your midsection. stress triggers cortisol which then makesfat in the stomach.

here is a question, why is it going thereand not somewhere else? that's a good question. location of all the vital organs like theheart and the liver and kidney happen to be in your midsection. that's why you gain weight in the belly becausethe body, as a survival mechanism, wants to hold this fat as a way of feeding it. fat is potential energy, so you're not reallyfat. you have potential energy and it sounds better. it stored around the organs.

it's called visceral fat and visceral fatmeans the organ fat. you might have some superficial fat but it'smainly around the organs, survival mechanism. when people have the belly sagging like that,it means their body is not surviving too well and adrenals are overactive. the other thing you want to know about bellyfat and stress is that stress, over time, can cumulate belly fat as you age. in other words, when you're 18, cortisol isat its lowest. when you get 50, 52, after menopause, that'swhen it's at its highest. that's why, over time, you might start developinga belly unless you counter it.

that's one thing about age. number two, all stress is accumulative. i have the worst handwriting but just bearwith me. all stress is accumulative. in other words, you're like a bucket and yourbody tends to fill up with stress. you're like a sponge, so everything that everhappened to you, from birth as accumulative stress-wise and it builds up much like a lotof applications on your desktop computer. that's the relationship between stress, cortisol,belly fat. now, let's get into the next problem.

the next problem with adrenal is your brainor let's just say cognitive. it has a major problem on cognitive function. number one, the person will do excessive thinking. they think and they think and they think andthey can't turn it off. what are they doing when they're thinking? they're trying to survive. they're trying to solve problems. they're trying to evaluate the environmentwith their own experiences to come up with solution to problems, 24/7.

sometimes it gets out of control where they'renot even controlling these thoughts. they just come randomly and they can't seemto turn off. as far as the cognitive function with adrenals,you're always on. you can't turn off. you're worrying, things like that. this eventually starts affecting your focusand your memory, going downstairs. "where am i going? what am i looking for?" trying to find your car in the car lot.

it can really affect your focus, your attention,because thoughts no longer become in linear fashion. they come more like popcorn thoughts. they just come randomly and it's very dispersingand it's hard to complete things because you got all your attention into this and thatand this and that. you don't feel very productive. it affects excessive thinking, memory, focus. it affects tolerance to stress. the more problem you have with adrenal, theless tolerance you have to certain personality

types, specifically the people that are incompetent,slow drivers, people that make mistakes. you can't tolerate these people. some people, to the degree, that their adrenalbecomes so burnt out that even the sound of a ticking on a clock drives them crazy. just like, "tick, tick, tick." they don't tolerate a lot of things. they don't like things out of order. why? because their adrenal is the survival glandand anything non-survival, chaotic, insane,

logical, they don't deal with that too well. they have a hard time dealing with certainthings and people and all that. that would be cognitive. now, the next one is sleep. see if i can draw. how is that? is that pretty good? okay, that's a little half moon. let's see, let's draw a little star righthere and then we'll ... snoozing, right?

we have sleep, is a problem with adrenal. now, when you go to sleep at night, there'swhat's called a circadian rhythm. every 90 minutes, your body is supposed togo through four cycles of sleep. we got four 90-minute sleep cycles, from alight sleep to a very deep sleep. the deep sleep is where you burn all of yourfat. not in light sleep. in fact, 98% of all of the fat burning occursat night, not during the day, and this would explain, with adrenal cases, if you're notsleeping, you're not going to burn fat. what happens?

either you can't wind down easily becauseyour body is filled up with stress. either you wake up at 2 o'clock in the morning,just totally awake and you can't seem to fall asleep because you're not tired. in fact, you're more awake in the middle ofthe night than you are during the day. the best sleep for the adrenal is a half hourbefore the alarm clock goes off. that's when you can finally sleep and justwhen you have to go work because the next day is going to be dragging. the quality of sleep suffers with the adrenalbecause your body is stocking stress. try to sleep with a lion chasing you to somedegree.

it won't work. can't burn fat. can't sleep. can't rejuvenate. any time you don't sleep, you have to be carefulbecause you don't want to start exercising because exercise in a too high-intensity fashioncan actually damage your heart. the best exercise for the adrenal type ispurely walking right now. nothing high intensity. just getting your attention, looking at stuff,not thinking about anything and it's going

to be hard, but you can do it. we have sleep quality. the deeper sleep, that's what you need. excessive thinking, stress, and now let'stalk about the next one which is going to be, let's see if i can draw this here, saltcravings. does that look like a salt shaker? salt cravings, that's in a form of chips,especially those little cheese crunchy little things, like that. they need salt late at night because you losesodium with the adrenal stress.

if we look at the purpose of sodium, it'san electrolyte. i'm drawing a battery here. i don't know if it looks like a battery, ifyou could see this battery. your body has cells that are like mini batteriesthat tend to be filled with certain types of minerals. they're called electrolytes. you lose electrolytes like potassium, sodium,and even calcium which is not electrolytes, it's just a mineral, with the adrenal. when you lose salt, what happens is your hydrationbecomes a problem and you're cravings for

salt go way up. one of the things you have to realize is thatsalt is not bad to consume if it's a sea salt. sea salt is not a problem even for blood pressurebecause if you don't have enough salt, your muscles are going to get really, really tight. just from a lack of sodium, you can starttwitching and things like that. the other thing that happens with the adrenalis that your urine starts becoming very acid. now, why? you lose acids with adrenal. now, i'm sure you've heard people tell youthat, "well, everyone's too acid" and acid

is very bad and you need to alkalize yourbody, so here's this machine and start drinking this alkaline water. well, with the adrenal, it's just the opposite. you want to have more of an acidic type ofurine. in fact, the normal ph or the acid level forthe urine should be about 6, 6.5, but with the adrenal, you'll have it like a 5 or maybeeven a 4, so it's too acid. now, what's happening is you're losing allthese beneficial acids and that means that your blood is becoming the opposite to analkaline. initially, it'll be too acid and then theurine will lose all these acids and then the

ph will start going higher, higher, higher,higher. we want a certain ph. we don't want it too high or too low. i'm not going to get into chemistry rightnow but just realize you lose your acid with adrenal and guess what you're going to crave? acid. what foods are very acid? probably the most acidic food would be lemons. adrenal cases love lemon juice and water.

they just crave it. they just consume tons of it and what theyreally want is the acid to try to help with this adrenal. the other thing they can consume is applecider vinegar. that also works as well but they definitelylike lemons. adrenal cases will crave salty foods, theywill crave chocolate, lemons, sometimes little sweet, sometimes a little combination of both,but that's what they like. now, the next thing we're going to talk aboutis muscles. if you can see, this is an arm.

this is my bad drawing of an arm here. that's a muscle. what happens to muscle with the adrenal? well, first of all, your body causes ... theadrenal excess will cause a situation where you break down muscles too fast. what muscle? the quadriceps femoris, the quad. what muscle is that? your thigh.

your thigh muscles become eaten up or destroyedby that hormone. when your thigh muscles get destroyed, yourclimbing is a problem or getting up from a seated position is a difficulty because youlose the power of standing up. not only do you get winded when you climbstairs with the adrenal, but your muscles start getting atrophies. atrophy, they're shrinking. that happens to be connected to your knee. how many people have knee problems with adrenal? many, many people have knee issues or weaknessor achiness or restless-like syndrome.

it's all adrenal. the adrenal gland controls the anti-inflammatory,so anti ... in other words, when you run out of that hormone that becomes dysfunctional,all you get is inflammation because you have no more anti-inflammation or anti-inflammatoryeffects. where does that show up in? chronic pain, chronic fibromyalgia, arthritis,bursitis, tendonitis, all the [itises 00:13:16]. one more thing about this ph. when you lose your acids, you also lose potassium. well, guess what happens when that happens?

your blood pressure starts going up. your pulse rates starts going up. all these different issues occur. we have a problem with low potassium. we have a problem with pain and inflammation. we have a problem with weakness in muscleand then what happens is because you're not sleeping, the heart has to work really, really,really hard. what does it do? it anchors itself to the breastbone here andthe back, the upper back.

guess where your muscles are going to be alltensed? right up in here, up here in the back. you're going to have tensed shoulders. people will give you massage but it comesright back because the cost is with tired heart. it'll also cause tension in the neck as well. the muscles become a problem. loosed skin, collagen. collagen is the glue that holds everythingtogether.

it's like when you lose your collagen, yourjoints fall apart, your skin starts getting loose, and your arms, back of your arms, theinner thighs, the lower part of the belly, underneath the neck. other than that, you're perfectly fine. i'm being sarcastic. we got a problem with excessive stress, excessive[thinkingness 00:14:40], fluid retention. fluid retention in the ankles. we have a problem with blood pressure, highcholesterol could happen eventually, acid reflux, ulcers, diabetes, low vitamin d levels,these is all adrenal, and sinus because what

they did is they took ... the adrenal glands,they removed them from certain dogs in an experiment and these dogs end up with allsorts of allergies to everything in the sinus. the adrenals are anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy. i mean isn't this some of the most commonproblems that people have? the adrenal gland also controls the bloodflow, the constriction, the blood flow to the heart. a lot of times, when the heart ... when theadrenal gland gets burnt out, the coronary, the blood supply of the heart starts tighteningup a little bit and you might get chest pain but you get tested and everything comes outnormal because it's an adrenal.

i mean think about when the heart stops, whatdo they inject the heart with? adrenaline, that's one of the adrenal hormones. these are some of the characteristic of theadrenal body type. now, here's the problem. the problem in medicine, actually in healthcare,is that there is no real evaluation other than emergency care where you break a boneand take an x-ray, what happens is that they're associating the symptom with the problem. they will take each individual symptom andtreat it directly. they don't look at what's behind it.

they don't look at this. they wait for this to show up on a blood test. well, guess what? the adrenal has enormous functional reserveand i'm paraphrasing from a book called [ciba 00:16:28], encyclopedia of endocrinology. the adrenal gland has an enormous functionalreserve. indeed, the adrenal gland has become ... let'ssay, nine-tenths of the adrenal gland has to be unresponsive before it's clinicallymanifest. what does that mean?

it means that it has to be 90% destroyed beforeit even shows up on a blood test. the problem is they go, "well, let's waitand see. let's check you and see. if everything comes out normal, you're healthy. just lose weight and let's wait and see untilyou become a full-blown problem with the adrenal." what i'm trying to do is i'm not trying todiagnose you. i'm trying to give you educational informationso you can think what the information yourself. this is your body. you need to be aware of the relationship betweenthe function of that or the dysfunction of

that and the rest of these symptoms. symptoms should only be used as clues to findthe real reason why something is the way it is. i hope that gives you an understanding ofthe adrenal and the characteristics that can follow from that. now, the question is what do we do about theadrenal gland? what do we do about the stress? well, we do know that all stress is accumulative,so we do know your body is like a bucket and we have to extract the stress.

what i've been doing for the last 24 yearsis developing systems and techniques to extract the stress out. i created a couple of different courses andthey're do-it-yourself programs. one is a very short pdf file that show youhow to do these maneuvers and then another one is the series of videos that are morecomprehensive. it's all based on this [acupressured 00:18:13]device that i had built based on my fingers when i work on people. i actually build this for myself and i said,"wait a second. why don't i actually teach people how to doit?" and that's what i did.

it's a tripod. it actually kind of sits right here, it sitsright here, and so you can lay on it and put like your neck right here and it really willhelp you extract stress using gravity. there's about seven places in your body thatyou're holding 99% of all the stress. you're going to be learning how to use thisto extract the stress. it's totally okay to experience stress aslong as you can get rid of it every day. that's the goal. you would do this before you go to bed. in fact, i do it every night, about five minutes.

you go through the maneuvers, we show youhow to do it, it's real easy, and you go right into a nice sleep. you will feel wonderful from this. this is the device. there's two different courses. one is a real short little thing on a pdfand the other one is a big course. it shows you all the videos. if you really want to learn this well, youcan do it. by the way, there's a 60-day money back guarantee.

if this doesn't blow you away, if it doesn'tamaze you, go ahead and send it back. i'll give you 100% refund. in fact, even if it's after 60 days, i'lldefinitely give you 100% refund because thus far, i've never had anyone return this becausethey really loved them because they're ... i had a guy in a plane.

everyone is watching and do these maneuversbecause he was flying back to india and it really saved him the jet lag. i hope you enjoy this. actually, i think you will.
