One of the ailments rising to epidemic proportions in the modern world is hypoadrenalism, also known as adrenal fatigue. The term "epidemic" is not at all exaggerated. It is likely that most, if not all of us have weakened adrenal glands, as evidenced by many of the somatic symptoms we experience on a daily basis. According to medical authority on the subject, Dr Michael Lam, each of us is likely to suffer from greater weakness of these glands several times over the course of our lives. This may be due to a change of residence, college exams, an overload of responsibilities at work, financial difficulties, layoff or unemployment, illness, the demands of caring for a young child or supporting a family member with a disability or illness.
Such situations and life's turmoil do not go unnoticed with regard to our health and well-being. They upset the endocrine system and cause various physical symptoms. Good if the stress factor subsides or is alleviated ... then usually without specific remedies, after some time, the body recovers on its own. Worse if the stressors overlap or persist for a long time. This is when adaptive mechanisms break down and we need specific help. This makes it all the more valuable to know how to support the functioning of the adrenal glands (significantly exploited in all kinds of stress reactions) so that they can function optimally again. The primary aim of this work is to briefly characterize adrenal weakness in the context of the subject of stress that affects modern man and the fact that Western medicine does not recognize this ailment as a disease entity and therefore does not officially treat it. The author of the book is keen to bring the issue to the attention of medical practitioners and ordinary people interested in the state of their health who would like to take appropriate measures themselves.
