Long-Term Steroid Use Can Shut Down Your Adrenal Function

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation – 

I hope you enjoyed the weekend and didn’t get too wet with all the rain. I had about 4 inches on Sunday and that was too much. It’s nice to have the grass green and all but even the weeds are growing too fast – ha. We haven’t had summer storms like this for several years. I’ve been around long enough to see wet and dry seasons and they come and go. Some folks get really stressed out with these storms, and the weather forecasters don’t help the situation. We’re seeing some of this stress in patients as we check them for their nutritional needs. We have a great product in Drenamin to help the Adrenal glands give the body adrenalin to help with energy to handle stress that’s just there. For those hard to handle cases, we have the Mediherb product called Adrenal Complex which helps to balance these stress glands and further support the bodies need to handle stresses, wherever it comes from. As an old pilot, I really enjoy watching the weather come and go. It’s awe inspiring to see all the power of nature in those clouds.

The article that I’m sending along today, looks at the problems with using steroid drugs, especially long term, and how they down regulate the Adrenal glands. It’s a shame that the medics don’t realize that if a person needs steroids for whatever, it means their patient's body has been beat up with the stresses of life and needs adrenal gland support, rather than just giving medication to cover up symptoms. Of course, with the adrenal glands already being weak and giving steroids out like candy, there are going to be side effects from the medications and possibly degenerative diseases springing up and making the patients life miserable. Quality of life is just as important, maybe more so, than the quantity of life. At Natural Health, we work to help our patients be healthy so there is no need for medications just to survive. Health is much more than just being symptom free. Energy and vitality are necessary to be happy and productive; whatever that patient’s life leads them towards. Please help us by getting the word out that there is an alternative to drugs for everything and nothing but drugs. Our food choices, our environment, even the daily stresses were under can be changed and controlled by us. Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know that.
