Are you "Sick" and "Tired" of feeling "Sick" and "Tired"?

If you are feeling the effects of stress, fatigue, brain fog and a lack of physical energy then you are not alone. Often I am contacted through our website with the following complaint, "I'm feeling sick/tired all the time, please help me to regain my vitality". Sound familiar?

As a Medical Intuitive, my task is to start backwards from the symptoms and find the root causes that keep people from experiencing a whole and balanced life. Whether it is a traumatic childhood experience that is buried deep within the subconscious mind or environmental toxicity that has literally POISONED a person to the point where they are simply unable to perform the routine tasks in life that are necessary to be a "functioning human".

Today we are going to dig into the symptoms of "Adrenal Fatigue" (AKA, Burnout, Adrenal Burnout, Adrenal Dysfunction), and help you to discover how to reclaim the vitality that may have been lost many, many years ago.

Productivity is often a problem for sufferers of adrenal fatigue, as their sleep patterns are often interrupted to such an extent that their, "window of productivity" is very short, perhaps just a few hours every day. People who are challenged by Adrenal Fatigue, often are later risers and who need to sleep past 10 am. They might feel a little energetic boost by noon, but by mid-afternoon they find themselves struggling to find the energy to still be productive and focus at work. Sufferers often find that after eating, they regain their mental energy and find themselves staying up quite late into the evening.

Having your normal energy cycles "out of synch" with the rest of the world can have devastating effects upon one's career, lifestyle, health, relationships and more ...

In a world that DEMANDS efficiency, this condition can lead to:

• Loss of work due to low performance
• Failures in Business through lack of focus
• Family and Relationship Stresses
• Inability to invest one's time in more joyful pastimes
• Procrastination and Incomplete Projects

These problems are often NEVER brought on by a lack of desire, skill or ability, but rather an inability to have the energy to be present and productive when called upon to do so.

Often, people will attempt to manage the emotional depression and chronic fatigue symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue with methods that only INTENSIFY IT. Artificially boosting adrenaline in your body through the excessive use of coffee, sugars, carbohydrates and emotional dysfunction will often cripple the Adrenal Glands even further.

What Causes Adrenal Fatigue?

Basically, Adrenal fatigue is caused by ANY antagonistic issue that keeps your body in a constant state of stress, even low levels of consistent stress have an accumulative effect. Adrenal Fatigue can be brought on from a number of sources, but generally it comes down to a low level physical stress response that slowly wears down the adrenal glands until they are no longer able to perform properly.

As the name would imply, your adrenal glands are responsible for regulating the adrenaline in your body. It doesn't take a lot of stress to burn them out. When the adrenal glands fall out of balance, other related organs start to malfunction causing fatigue, depression, lack of focus and emotional issues that can be best described as hopelessness or depression.

What are the Sources of Adrenal Fatigue?

There are many sources of low level, continued stress that can attack your adrenal system. Here are just a "few" that I have worked with recently:

• Accidents, Physical Traumas. Locked up emotional clusters that block the flow of energy in your physical system
• Over Achievers, feelings of self worth measured by high productivity.
• Workaholic Tendencies, avoidance issues through work obsession
• Abandonment Issues and unresolved childhood issues
• Toxic Overburden, often locked in the liver. Heavy Metal Poisoning, Aspartame, Chemicals, Intestinal Parasites
• Poor Diets. High intake of "emotionally satisfying" foods
• Substance Addiction. Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco Products
• Mineral Deficiencies. Often, low magnesium is a byproduct of taxed adrenal glands
• Increased Caffeine Consumption. (2-3 cups or more per day, throughout the day)
• Being Broke during pregnancy
• Viral Infections, Fungal Infections, Bacterial Infections, Parasitic infestation
• Grief, loss of a loved one.
• Electro Magnetic Frequencies (EMFs). Being around too much technology gives off electromagnetic waves that deplete your bio-electrical system. Common culprits are "cell phones" "computer monitors" "micro wave ovens" "hair dryers" etc ...
• High Sugar and Carbohydrate Diets
• Negative Media, News, Television. This often feeds a negative attitude with stress and worry
• Weight Gain, and the resulting depression that comes from poor physical health
• Low Self-Esteem, not feeling one's self worth
• And More ...

As you can see, there are many varied STRESSFUL FACTORS that can continually deplete the Adrenal Glands until they are knocked out of balance. Long Term Stress stimulation at work, home, family, relationships and more will wear down the adrenal glands over time.

The best attempts at managing the problem are often short fixes that usually side-step the root causes of this type of illness.

In Chinese Medicine, Adrenal Fatigue is often tied to an imbalance in the kidneys and various childhood issues. I have found this to be very true, as many who have Adrenal Fatigue also have unprocessed, traumatic experiences from when they were very young.

How Can You Diagnose Yourself for Adrenal Fatigue?

"It's all in your HEAD. You think there is a problem, there isn't one so get over it"

What?

Sorry to say, but many who contact Dr. Adam Fulmore or I through the website come to us because they got this diagnosis from mainstream medical sources. Largely unrecognized by the medical profession, Adrenal Fatigue often goes undiagnosed. You pretty much need to turn to alternative health practitioners for a solution.

In fact, those who are able to get help through mainstream medical are often prescribed drugs to try and "manage" the problem for a few more years. Adrenal Fatigue is a "warning light" on your personal dashboard that lets you know that something is not working right. Using drugs to "mask" the symptoms makes them Linger on, attacking your body's immune system and related organs, which weakens them and complicates a healthy recovery.

Dosing with drugs is a lot like having an engine problem with your car, and then covering it up by painting the engine. The underlying problem still exists!

Don't treat the "symptom(s)". Treat the "cause(s)"

Although you will find it hard to find diagnostic tests for Adrenal Fatigue, here is a short self-questionnaire you can use as it covers the common symptoms experienced by suffers of Adrenal Fatigue:

Do you have excess mid section weight?
Are you suffering from sleep cycle issues or insomnia? Are your circadian rhythms out of sync with the rest of the world?
Are you finding it more and more difficult to keep up with your go-Go-Go stressful lifestyle?
Do you have irregular energy patterns? Are you experiencing very high periods of energy, contrasted by exhaustion during your day?
Are you a late riser? Even if you are keeping to your schedule, do you find yourself wishing you had more sleep?
Do you find it easier to perform mental tasks late at night or after a high carbohydrate meal?
Do you have skin problems? Eczema or Psoriasis?
Does your energy crash by mid-afternoon?
Do you have sugar cravings, salt cravings, high carbohydrate cravings?
Do you find yourself having 2-3 or more cups of coffee per day? (Often Adrenal Fatigue Sufferers don't even enjoy coffee anymore, they LITERALLY need it before they can even start their day)
Do you have cold feet and hands?
Do you have digestion issues?
Poor memory problems?
Do you have emotional breakdowns, aggressive outbursts, anger?
Do you experience muscle weakness?
Do you have heart palpitations?
Do you have consistent, low level anxiety and panic attacks?
Do you suffer from chronic depression?
Do you have sensitivity to bright lights?
Do you have thyroid gland issues?
Do you have Thymus gland issues?

Having checked 3-4 of the above should warrant further investigation for Adrenal Fatigue. More would indicate chronic adrenal fatigue, the more checkmarks you make the further along your condition has gotten.

What is the Intuitive Health Solution?

You need to work with a qualified health practitioner to put an action plan in place. You will find that alternative practitioners with extensive training in nutritional re-balancing to be your best bet. As a trained Nutritional Consultant, I have had 10 years of experience in helping people to design nutritional and detoxification programs geared specifically towards rebuilding Adrenal Glands.

There are two important steps to an Adrenal Recovery Program:

1. Remove the factors that are creating or worsening the problem
2. Rebuild the Adrenal Glands and the associated organs that are affected by this condition

How Long is this Going to Take?

This process can take many months to overcome. If a person does not address these issues, then the group of chronic illnesses may persist and proliferate until death results from a major organ failure.

Escalation of the issues WILL INCREASE in your life until you ARE FORCED to deal with the root causes of the issues that you are avoiding while you are managing, or rather improperly managing the stresses of modern life. Eventually, the physical breakdown of your body wins out. Whether it is next week or 20 years from now, eventually the physical fatigue and associated problems become too difficult to ignore any longer.

What is the Treatment?

Treatments vary from practitioner to practitioner. As a Medical Intuitive, I am often guided to the areas that require the most attention.

Treatments that may be applied for Adrenal Recovery:

• Theta Healing: Focused on releasing energy blocks
• Theta Healing: Focused on Core Belief Replacement
• Theta Healing: Childhood and Traumatic Experiences. Releasing Past Events
• Self Rejuvenation: Taking time to perform meditative exercises for peace and serenity
• Self Rejuvenation: Meditative/Physical Movement Exercises like Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga
• Self Rejuvenation: "Light" Cardiovascular Exercises. Don't overdo it and remember to pace yourself. You do not want to increase physical stress in the body.
• Health Program: Heavy Metal Detoxification
• Health Program: Parasite Removal, Candida, Fungal Infections

• Health Program: Blood Cleansing, Lymph system Cleansing

Please don't lose hope.

Depression, brought on by constant physical and mental fatigue can seem insurmountable when you are going through it. Please realize that Heavy Metals can be detoxed. Destructive Core Beliefs can be Reframed. Emotional Disturbances can be Released. If what I am saying resonates with you, and you truly believe that the time is NOW for health recovery, then please contact me or a local health practitioner that can help you put a plan in place.

MAY BONUS: 7 QUICK FIXES TO START YOUR OWN ADRENAL FATIGUE RECOVER PROGRAM

First of all, have some compassion for yourself. You're only human, and you need to forgive yourself for your physical limitations. Accept that and COMMIT to re-nurturing yourself. Incorporate the following exercises for a QUICK FIX UP over the next week to help you love yourself a little more.

1. Try some aromatherapy, a few candles or an aromatherapy device that puts some essences in your environment. (Avoid Wal-Mart or big store solutions, go to an actual esoteric type store or spa that specializes in pure sources of aromatherapy) Lavender Oil, Rose Oil, Chamomile Essences in your home and if possible, your work space.

2. Set Your Boundaries! If your energy levels are low don't over commit to new projects and demands on your time. Don’t be afraid to say No. This is a very powerful word, as it helps to consolidate your energy around the commitments you have already said yes to.

3. Light Exercise. It's important to emphasize, "Light". Exercise can also stress the body, so it's recommended to try some meditative movement exercises like Qigong, Tai Chi or Yoga. A light aerobic program or walking is also useful. The important thing is to get moving again, stimulate the lymphatic system to get some of those toxins moving. Light exercise can help to ground, centre and balance your body. It's not to say that you shouldn't go for a run if you are up to maintaining higher levels of physical activity, but as far as addressing Adrenal Fatigue, less exercise, performed consistently over many weeks will create better results than pushing yourself too hard when your body is too worn out to benefit from it.

4. Supplements. Try to get a high quality B Vitamin Supplement (B-Complex). You may also want to try adaptagenic herbs, Siberian Ginseng, Royal jelly, Maca and super foods like E3-live, Spirulina.

5. Raw Food. Eat more Veggies, a full spectrum color of veggies, not just the green ones. Most people don't eat enough raw vegetables. This step alone can raise your vitality significantly within days.

6. Ground yourself, sit in nature. It's useful to just put your bare feet on open ground. Nature tends to pull out stagnant energy. 20 minutes a day is a great fix up.

7. Find something that brings you calmness and joy every day. A Hot Bath or a favorite book is a great choice. Choose something that will slow you down so that you can better enjoy your precious moments.

May 24, 2009 - Group Healing Event, - Mark it in your Calendar and Bring your Intention for Better Health and Wellness

Using the power of Theta and Healing Intention, we will be working throughout the entire day focusing energy to all the people who have EVER worked with us across the globe since we started the www.IntuitiveHealthSolutions.com website!

We will be directing healing energy towards the most common problems that we are guided to direct energy at while in this focused state of meditation. Common Issues we will be working on:

• Chronic Pain Conditions
• Chronic Fatigue
• Anxiety
• Spiritual Crisis
• Relationship Wounds
• Hopelessness, Sadness

For your part, we would like you to join us on May 24th at 3:00 PM PST or if you are on the East Coast, 6:00 PM EST. If you are living outside of North America, please use this handy time zone conversion tool and make sure you mark this important time in your calendar:

Time Zone Converter

You will be open to receiving the most healing energy on this date if you join us at this exact time for about 20 minutes.

May 24, 2009 is an astrologically significant date because that is the date of a New Moon, which is always the perfect time to reflect, go within, and set new intentions and goals for the coming month..

Join us for 20 minutes at this time using whatever meditative practice you use to find yourself in a state of calm and relaxation. Find a quiet, secluded space for 20 minutes to participate, or go to a city park or an area in nature where you can sit by a tree and breathe in your natural surroundings.

If you don't have experience in meditation, here is a simple step by step process to guide you along:

1. Sit down in a comfortable position, either in a chair or on the ground with a comfortable pillow.

2. Close your eyes and breathe in love to your heart, and then out to the world. Continue to focus on feeling love and bringing it into your heart and then breathing it out.

3. Bring to your mind’s eye, a visualization of the new life circumstance that you wish to experience in your life. As you see it, also affirm the FEELING that would come with it in this present moment. Feel yourself owning this experience in your life. It’s important to affirm the condition in the present moment. For instance, don’t affirm “I wish to get healthier”. Such a statement would just affirm that you do not have health. It is many times more powerful to affirm, “I feel healthy and full of love in my life”.

4. Continue to breathe in and breathe out the resonance of love, (Focused Appreciation) and hold the VISION and FEELING of your new circumstance within, be it health, abundance, stronger relationships or a nurturing environment.

5. At the end of this 20 minute meditation, imagine passing along this same gift to another within this massive group of people that will be joining us all over the world. One of the most powerful affirmations you can give, is to give others what you are affirming to have in your own life. Such an intention re-affirms, energetically that, “I can give this to another, because I in fact have an abundance of it in my own life”.

Adam and I will be working with the conditions that we are guided to work on during this focused 20 minute period, and at different points throughout the day. Thousands of people will be receiving this healing intention on April 19, 2009.

For the rest of the day, you should take part in activities that you find nurturing and re-affirm the state that you wish to have in your life. If you wish to have more love in your life, then take time for the rest of the day to be loving and kind to the people you are in contact with. If you wish to be more abundant, take action and help to affirm another’s abundance. Perhaps leave a larger tip to the person serving you a coffee at the local café. As you do, always make sure you hold the feeling of abundance within, a feeling that affirms that you have abundance and are willing to give to another.

Being of service to another is a powerful way to re-affirm that you have the ability to give what you desire.

P.S. , Please forward this event on to friends, family and co-workers who are looking to initiate change in their lives.
