Good morning. It's a pleasure to be here. Can you hear me in the back?
Yeah. Good.
Well, we're going to talk about a subject is very important to us, and it's often unrecognized and under treated in the medical community and in the people that receiving treatment and in the caregivers.
And that's the importance of the adrenal glands and in supporting the immune system.
Proper treatment and of the adrenals and the proper immune support, our two things are conspicuously lacking in our health care, in both the cancer patients and the caregivers. And so this present day mission is designed to help those people that are the caregivers, that are the cancer patients, in addition to them, the nurses, the doctors, the practitioners that are looking for the best care for their patients. So help you understand the importance of supporting needed adrenal glands, how it makes a difference in the actual survival and the well-being of the patients, and to provide adequate immune support for these people.
Most important, I hope to impart some knowledge on how to develop a federal program that's easy to follow.
Now, what are the adrenal glands?
Well, the adrenal glands are too small. Glands sit over the kidney about the size of a walnut. They secrete over 50 hormones. And you probably heard of some of these hormones, hormones like epinephrine, testosterone, cortisol, Ragnhild alone, progesterone, DHEA. And here they are. Now, you notice that they're just above the bottom of the ribs. So if you if you find your at the bottom ribs and feel underneath there, you can't feel the adrenal. But once in a while, there's a tender spot or someone's under adrenal fatigue. In the adrenal glands are actually necessary for life. And we've known this for over 100 years, that energy production is one of their chief things. They control carbohydrate, protein and fat conversion in the blood glucose to keep your blood glucose solid. It's also important in the electrolyte balance. The potassium, sodium, magnesium chloride that flow in the cell between the cells and in the serum. So it's not only important for that, but also for fat storage. So as we have the fat in and out of the cells, especially around the abdomen, the adrenals are important in that. And the sex hormone production, especially after menopause, because women after menopause. This is your chief source of hormones, male and female. Here's some of the pickle graphic actions of cortisol. It protects all the cells against stress. The adrenals are called the glands of stress. It predict protects against excess insulin. It has a tremendous effect on the brain, on feeling
