Addison's Disease

[Guest guest]

My dog has Addison's Disease and I've been able to reduce his meds by giving him New Zealand bovine glandulars. I would also be interested to learn of ways to eliminate the drugs and treat it all naturally. Even the tiny amount of prednisone that he takes is taking it's toll on his skin.

Hi Rik,

I'm the one with the dog who has Addison's and I still don't have any natural remedies other than the glandular he takes. But, in the meantime, I would suggest your dad go to a compounding pharmacy to get his meds if he'd like to reduce the number of pills he has to take. When I had to buy Florinef (fludrocortisone) at a regular pharmacy for my dog, it was extremely expensive and he had to take A LOT of pills. Now I get his whole dose in one capsule at the compounder and it's way way cheaper.

thanks for the advice, but he won't do that. he has been doing this

for 45 years and will not change to except other ideas, unless it

comes from a medico. he is 73 and not interested in these

discussions. i was interested if someone would have had some

success with treating this disease in a natural way. he lives in

holland and everything ($) is covered, always has been. thanks

again, rik

Hi there,

 

I am new to this group.

 

My husband's doctor thinks that he may have addison's disease.

 

Was wondering if anyone knows any alternative medicines that we can

try to use.

 

Thank you,

---glandular malfunction--- Addison's Disease

have a look through this

 

Glandular imbalances

 

 

 

Each individual's case may be a little different. Different

contributing

causes, different solutions. However, in Cayce Medicine we might say

that any illness in the body is created by one or more of these three

factors:

 

1. mental-emotional stress,

2. pressure upon nerves (often at the spine),

3. toxicity (localized or systemic).

 

Glandular problems are no exception. In the case of the thyroid, we

might ask if the body is toxic overall, or perhaps just locally. If

so,

what would we do to clear this up?

 

Since the thyroid is located at the base of the throat, we might

check

the neck and shoulders to see if they are tense. If so, perhaps the

tension is disrupting the circulation of blood, lymph, and nerve

energies to the area - creating the abnormal thyroid activity. Should

this be the case, it is best for the tension to be relieved.

 

Are the mind and emotions being chosen in such a way that they might

express poorly through the thyroid gland? Are the mind and emotions

the

cause of tension and disrupted circulation in the neck and shoulder

area? Are other glands possibly involved?

 

These sorts of questions can begin to focus us on what has gone wrong

and what needs to change in order to restore a healthy balance.

 

Typical suggestions for addressing hypothyroid issues might include:

 

1. Neck and shoulder massage, castor oil pack at neck, and/or

spinal manipulation,

2. Atomidine on a 1-2-3-4-5-0-0 drop schedule (which detoxifies

the glands),

3. Meditation to change patterns of doubt to belief, worry to

faith, feeling overwhelmed to dwelling in harmony, wariness to

peace, and impatience to patience.

 

 

 

Atomidine can be given in a series this is to balance the glands one

drop daily in half a glass of water for five days stop for three

days then to two drops daily for five days stop for three days. Then

back to one drop daily then a rest and start the regime again.

A cleansing of the glands was the first priority, a drop of

atomidine in half a glass of water in the morning before any meal is

taken for 5 days, and then 2 drops for 5 days then leave off entirely

 

Cayce found a lack of activity of the thyroid glands, which causes

this disturbance in the body where apparently for no cause, there

are patches on the body that are bald. These come from circulation

and from the lack of certain elements in the diet.

 

For the glandular forces give small quantities of Atomidine to

purify the glandular system. In the beginning take one drop in half

a glass of water before the morning meal, each day for three to five

days; leave off five days, then take again for five days. Then

leave off.

 

At the beginning of the second rest period from the Atomidine, start

massaging the body of evenings when ready to go to bed on those

areas of scalp and where the baldness appears, using Pure Hog Lard.

Massage this thoroughly into the areas and bind up. The next

morning bathe off, and then in the evening apply again. Do this for

three to four days in succession, then leave off for a week - during

which period another series of Atomidine would be taken.

 

1904-1 F 52

Cayce found disturbing conditions This needs attention to stop other

problems. The disturbing forces arise from, primarily the glandular

system; caused by an unbalancing in the chemical reactions in the

system and not sufficient iodides , also pressures upon the nerve

system were found - to cause a disturbance in the locomotion of the

body at times.

 

The blood supply has also become unbalanced, so that there is

insufficient vitamins in the blood as assimilated through these

glandular disturbances to produce the proper capillary circulation.

A cleansing was required , to help the glandular forces .begin first

with taking small doses of Atomidine..For the first seven days, take

one minim (drop) in half a glass of water each morning before any

meal is taken. Then leave same off five days. Then begin taking

TWO minims each morning for seven days. Then leave off five days.

Then at the third series take THREE minims in half a glass of water

(not more than this) each morning for the seven days. Leave off

three to five days.

 

26

How can I regain my hair (which I have been losing since my late

teens - thought by a doctor to be due to a sickness, which I had for

several years with earache, fever and headache)?

 

4056-1 M 26

Cayce found a lack of activity of the glands in the thyroid area.

This causes a weakness in the activities to nails and hair over the

body.

Take small doses of Atomidine to purify in the thyroid activity.

Take one drop each morning for five days in succession. Then leave

off for five days.

 

During that period give the scalp a thorough massage with crude oil;

using the electrically driven vibrator with the suction applicator

this was to be done very thoroughly, for at least thirty to forty

minutes for the massage with the crude oil and then the application

of white Vaseline and then the electrically driven vibrator using

the suction cup applicator.

 

Then begin the first of the next week with the Atomidine, one drop

each morning for five days. Then give another crude oil shampoo

following with the white Vaseline and the vibrator treatment.

 

Leave these off then for two weeks.

 

Then have another complete series, but between each two series allow

two weeks to elapse. Doing these, we will find that in six to eight

months it will begin to stimulate the activities for the growth of

hair over the scalp and on body.

Diet must carry iodine in their natural forms. Use only kelp salt

or deep-sea salt. Eat plenty of seafoods.

Not too much sweets.

 

Atomidine was also recommended in 42% of cases but due to its high

iodine content this was recommended in specific dosages and

treatment cycles. Excessive iodine in the system could overstimulate

the thyroid and result in harmful effects in the body. Never take

atomidine when you are using thyroid medicine or other drugs as the

drugs could react with each other and have undesirable effects. The

most common dosage was one drop taken daily for five days followed

by a five-day rest period then one-drop daily then rest for five

days. Then resume the cycle.Daily dosages ranged from one to eight

drops daily. It was recommended that atomidine was taken in half

glass of water in the morning before eating. Frequently atomidine

was coordinated with Epsom salt baths and massage with the baths

being taken during the rest period and immediately following the

atomidine sequence.

 

5 After the osteopathic adjustments have been given then take a

course of atomidine which should be given starting with one drop

twice a day increasing by one drop per day until you are taking 5

drops twice daily then continue for a further 3 days and then reduce

by one drop per day until the original dose is used. Then rest a

week or two then repeat this regime 3-4 times. The atomidine is for

the cleansing of the glands and for the glandular forces of the body.

 

 

BACKGROUND 5345-1 F 35

For some time she has been suffering with sugar diabetes, no help

from MD's. . She's read the book THERE IS A RIVER and is ready to

accept and follow anything that may come through the reading. "

 

 

Cayce cautioned to apply corrections to the diet, this with the

spinal corrections , will bring much better conditions and

reactions with this Person. He found a subluxation, caused from a

strain many years ago and has gradually been a great pressure,

which has caused overactivity in the pancreas and spleen area, and

from this created in the body, too much sugar. This affects the

activity of the kidneys and bladder, as well as the general nervous

system and the incoordination in the areas of the brachials, just a

little higher up, which cause distresses to organs of sensory

system, general nervous system and the glandular forces of the body.

 

Alternative Treatment

Edgar cayce gave over 250 readings for epilepsy and associated

disorders. In Reba Ann karps book a study was made of about 84

readings for 37 people with an age range of 20 months to 62 yrs old.

There are quite a few files at the A.R.E. which members can research

further and anyone contemplating treatment would well advised to

consult with them.

Causes

1.Most frequently mentioned was glandular imbalances, which implied

adhesions and lesions in the lacteal area of the intestines.

 

2. Other glands were mentioned particularly the pineal.

 

3. In 16 cases spinal sublaxations and lesions were found to be a

direct cause with mention of other vertebrae out of alignment in any

part of the spine. These misalignments would interfere with the

proper supply of nutrients and or nerve impulses which were needed

in other parts of the body the lack of which would result in

 

) What causes and what should be done to correct, excess growth of

hair on legs and arms? Is this from a glandular condition? (A)

Cayce said A glandular condition, combined with a disturbance in the

general circulation.

 

Do not use anything other than too the thyroids to make better

activity there; this done better by manipulation than by drugs.

 

From epilepsy file

 

(Q) Why are the menstrual periods irregular? (A) A problem partly

from the circulation and the adjusting of the bodily functions from

the glandular forces of the whole system to the activity of such

periods. The adjustments and manipulations are for these specific

disturbances; as also the purifying of the glands by the use of

iodized salt.

 

Cayce gives the causes of Glaucoma; to do with the functioning of

the glands in origin with mention of spinal misalignments causing

other blockages where proper channels needed to be kept open, Toxins

or infectious forces could also cause problems in the system, poor

eliminations and kidney and liver imbalances were also mentioned.

Karma was also mentioned.

According to cayce any of these conditions either singly or combined

could interfere with the proper nutriments that feed the eyes and or

nerve impulses, which go to the eyes.

 

To another who had been treated for glaucoma by conventional means,

this lady was in excrutiating pain Cayce said there was incorrect

activities from the adrenal glands and their effect on the kidneys,

which had their effect on other organs, which produced slowness in

the eliminations. The emphasis on eliminations is a crucial factor

in maintaining good health in this case it was effecting the optic

nerve.

 

630-3 F 37

" About 8 mos. ago (eye specialist) told me I had Glaucoma and Iritis

Pigmentosis, but being an optimist I thought they would be all

right. Now I am at home and Dr. says my eyes are decidedly worse.

 

Cayce found disturbances with the glandular system, related to the

activities of the adrenals. This made for an unbalanced condition

relating to the supply of energies in the circulation to the sensory

forces. This hinders or impoverishes the supply to the optic forces;

producing a relaxation that causes the problem in the eye reflex

itself. These hinder in the kidneys' activity in bringing about

elimination, and a flow of secretions that are a part of same

deflect through the supply to optic forces.

 

 

Cayce sited the causes of M.S.as being varied but briefly it was the

lack of gold in the body which caused a glandular imbalance which in

turn caused a hormonal deficiency.This hormone was said to be vital

to the proper functioning of the nerves.

Also it can be stated that even with enough gold present in the

system the body still has to have the ability to use it, it was this

ability that was lacking in some of the cases that cayce dealt with.

The body has to have the ability to absorb or assimilate the gold.

Hi,

 

You could try Kinesiology - there could be a reason your husband's

adrenal glands aren't functioning as they should - a simple energy

correction may be the answer. You may have to shop around to find a

GOOD kinesiologist. Has your husband ever had Tuberculous? as this

can be a contributing factor in Addison's.
