WOMEN, PROTECT YOUR FAMILIES HEALTH
WOMEN, PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN FROM SERIOUS ILLNESS BROUGHT ON BY ENDOCRINE MALFUNCTIONS Thyroid malfunctions began to manifest for me, during my childbearing years. As time passed these malfunctions became a permanent condition. Eventually, deteriorating overall health led me to a Naturopath and solutions to ameliorating my health conditions. I also learned that my ongoing medical difficulties were having a serious affect on my four children. Women who suffer from symptoms of thyroid disease usually also suffer concurrent adrenal malfunction and/or insufficiency or other endocrine malfunction. Endocrine malfunction is often one of the precursors to many systemic disorders. These disorders can include auto-immune diseases, fibrocystic myalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, type II diabetes, and many, many more. Adrenal malfunction can release huge shots of cortisol into the body even when there is little or no stress to trigger the ‘fight or flight’ response. Adrenal insufficiency means that the energy stores of this gland have been depleted through repeated stresses and traumas to that person. These women need to monitor their children extremely closely for early signs of the same problems. A large proportion of these children will suffer the same problems by the time they reach puberty or young adulthood. During pregnancy there is transfer back and forth of various hormones and other substances between the mother and the fetus, through the placenta. If one or the other is deficient in a substance or hormone, they will draw from the other. So if mom is suffering from overproduction of cortisol, these cortisol ‘floods’ are shared with the fetus. This can lead to cortisol ‘addiction’ in these infants. A mother whose adrenals are depleted will draw from the adrenals of the fetus. This results in infants with low adrenal energy stores at birth. Children born with an addiction to cortisol may go through withdrawal after birth. This could explain the tendency towards colic in some infants. As these babies grow, they may seek out or create activities/situations which trigger cortisol rushes. These children and those with low adrenal strength at birth may begin to show signs of depleted adrenals at a very young age as the stores in the adrenals that are left just run out too soon. A Naturopathic doctor should be consulted early on to monitor the overall health of these children. A Naturopath can detect health problems BEFORE they become ‘clinical’. That is, before damage is being done to the body. This early detection would allow preventative measures to be taken to normalize adrenal function and/or rebuild adrenal energy stores. Between information garnered from my own treatment protocols and much research, I determined that my health history was affecting all four of my children as outlined above. The two oldest are exhibiting overt symptoms of adrenal insufficiency and the illnesses that this can trigger. The younger two are showing early warning signs that they will develop similar health problems if proactive measures are not taken. Symptoms to watch for include inability to handle stress, becoming fatigued easily, extreme moodiness or irritability, short temperedness, depression, inability to focus, brain fog, chronic soft tissue aches and pains, and many more. If you or your child is exhibiting more than one or two of these symptoms for an extended period of time and/or the symptoms are worsening, consult with a registered Naturopathic doctor. These physicians are able to detect the specific malfunction before it becomes clinical and develop treatment protocols that will correct the source problem, rather than simply treating the symptoms. Your Naturopath will work in conjunction with your medical doctor. There are times when pharmaceutical products, specialist consultations or surgery may be recommended and that is where medical doctors come into play. The Naturopath can give you detailed information to bring to your medical doctor so that they can prescribe other required testing, consults, medicines or treatments. Failure to correct the source malfunction at the sub-clinical level may lead to the development of very serious and debilitating health problems over time. Protect the health of yourself and your children by taking preventative measures.
