Adrenal fatigue is bull

[dreammaker820]

It could easily be said that depression in itself is merely a symptom of a greater illness and does not constitute a thorough diagnosis. It is all too easy (and Lucrative!!!) for the mainstream medical community to throw this haphazard diagnosis at every patient (customer) and shove them some pharmaceuticals. All too often these drugs are found to be beneficial only to the corporations who peddle them and the exhorbitantly paid lobbyists who keep the F.D.A. in their pockets.

M.D...shmemdee...On my channel I have 2 adrenal fatigue uploads right now. One talks about how adrenal fatigue can cause lower back pain, the other shows how to make a homemade herbal/capsule powder for adrenal support.

[Bemis29]

which converts tryptophan into serotonin which is then converted to melatonin in the presence of darkness. This is big reason why folks with even mild adrenal stress do not sleep well. As for this supposedly prestigious M.D in this video who denies adrenal fatigue exisits...well lets just say he is pretty ignorant and does not even read his own medical journals...which have many objective studies ( pub med) that can be viewed including MRI scans of adrenals that are stressed.

[Bemis29]

when your circadian rhythm ( cortisol, DHEA) begins to somewhat normalize and you start sleeping better...continue sleeping as much as possible. Check your progress with body temperature readings in the morning as well as pupillary response to light as well as blood or salivary cortisol/DHEA/melatonin levels. Vit C is also an important supplement ( ascorbic acid is found in high concentration in the adrenals) as well as Vit B5. Stress also shuts down a liver enzyme called tryptophan hydroxylase

[Bemis29]

SSRI's actually stimulate the adrenals...both directly via increased cortisol and indirectly through increasing neurotransmitters ( serotonin, norepinephrine) which can create severe anxiety ( thus the reason why klonopin is usually given at the same time). Anti-depressants are the worst thing you can take for adrenal fatigue. The way I healed ( took me almost 2 years) is to reduce as much stressas possible, increase fat/cholesterol intact, supplement with DHEA, melatonin, 5HTP, and ....

[Bemis29]

Adrenal fatigue is very real. I am a hard core fitness fanatic that became severely overtrained ( could not sleep, but still worked out)...developed panic attacks ( which are the first signs of adrenal malfunction and stress) and then lost significant weight, my body temp dropped, developed severe fatigue and digestive difficulties, my DHEA, Cortisol and Testosterone all nearly flatlined. I could not even talk on the phone very long due to fatigue. I was put on SSRI's and that nearly killed me.

Penn is full of bullshit

[0ViewTube0]

…further. When you come across swindlers on Youtube like LarryCook333 - who puts up marketing videos about the non-disease called 'Adrenal Fatigue' - just know that would be someone who is associated with health fraud and one you should never give even one cent to.

[0ViewTube0]

The Endocrine Society has officially come out with a statement reiterating that there is no such disease called ‘Adrenal Fatigue.’ Thank goodness! Hopefully, this will help health consumers steer clear of fraud doctors – like the one in the video selling his useless supplements.

[bodymindsound]

This video is biased from the start....what a waste of my time!

[TheRandomSweed]

Yeah im a recovering alcoholic from 10 years of drinking and ive had alot of stress since i quit drinking,, somedays im full of energy other days im like the living dead. And ive checked my blood preassures and blood sugars wich are fine. Yesterday i was out walking and feeling extreme fatigue and i tripped and almost fell, then i started feeling awake again, and 30min later i was back to zombie mode again... depression my ass!

[2784skipper]

I like how this fuckin meat head says that all these fuckin people are just trying to make money by selling there product to people with adrenal fatigue, and how the fuck do u think doctors get paid, by pushing anti depressants on u rather than getting to the root of the fuckin problem

[MagDaLenster]

Penn & Teller are ignorant, corporate sell-outs. I can't believe these guys are making a joke of something very serious and real. I hope that they can experience this condition for even just a couple of weeks.  Goddamn bastards.

[jaycorliss]

Penn and Teller sure misfired this time..., for gods sake, what is wrong with common western medicine? Long term stress, (stress with all the well-documented negativities) have ...no effect on the body, is it a joke? A real bad one though, giving so many people additional suffering.

[skunkyboy19]

@thechembalin do yo take hydrocortisone?

[skunkyboy19]

Try to live without adrenal glands lol i do and i almost died 3 times

[zethos100]

the drugs companies would say that

[michaeltsilimos]

IT took over 30 years for the Medical Board of Health to recognize Chiropractic Care as a Clinical Treatment for certain Nervous System Diseases, They now recognize it to a slight degree. I just listen to my body, if it is craving something then obviously the body needs it.

[chazzerau]

Looks like Penn and Teller has been bought out by big Pharma. Any organ can get 'fatigued' from over use, abuse or aging...like our kidneys not working at 100% or our bladder or eyesight or our liver (so those of you age 50 can drink like you were 18?) our pancreas our heart - everything can have reduced function...but oh No the adrenals are specail! - Director of Cedar Sinai pls. get some common sense with your degrees!!!!

[Imaginova]

even IF adrenal fatigue is bull, anti-depression medication is going to do far more harm to the individual than those nutritional supplements.

[testosteronetitan]

During the fog, I took meds, ate healthy, exercised, developed more interpersonal relationships, took academic leave to recover from stress, took lighter workloads, etc. Eight years later up to the present, nothing has changed at all. Even during times I experience joy being around friends, an emotional high doesn't even make the brain fog leave. That alone should make me realize this is beyond emotional issues.

[testosteronetitan]

I agree completely with you people that this symptom is beyond depression. I was having unimaginable stress during my engineering studies and it was during the 2nd year's summer that I developed brain fog. It wasn't until AFTER I felt the brain fog that I felt depressed since the fog was crippling my studies upon my return. And of course the doctors said I was depressed and suggested meds that did absolutely nothing to change it. Maybe this adrenal fatigue is what I need to look into

[victoriouspeople1]

Adrenal Fatigue is very real. It is obvious that the conventional medical professionals who state that it isn't real have never lived with it. It is not depression, though depression can be ONE OF the symptoms. Remember Fibromyalgia? 20 years ago doctors told us this was "just depression", or in people's minds... and what do you know? Today it is recognized... and they don't even have the test. BTW, the doctor in the lab coat never explained WHY the saliva test isn't recognized.

[BaileyLush]

The ACTH test is obsolete (the blood test). The saliva test isn't perfect, but much better.

[BaileyLush]

Depression is a blanket diagnosis used my inept, ill educated doctors. Give me a break.

[TheChembalin]

Dont ever believe into this depression crap. Its all a lie to make us by their brain and body damaging psychotropic drugs. My adrenal glands are now damaged by antidepressants as well as my thyroid and my brain. This video is full of shit and lies

[oooDONNAooo]

@TheChembalin I believe most cases of "unexplained" depression are caused by nutritional deficiencies and/or body toxicity.

[sirloynes]

@oooDONNAooo or about a million other reasons...I know lots of overweight people who take illegal substances, and they have tons of energy and do just fine in life...

[TheChembalin]

hahaha depression! What a stupid joke! Antidepressants damaged my adrenal glands. I had a perfect health before. The withdrawel from these poisons killed my adrenal glands. Now my boddy doesnt produce any adrenalline, noradrenallin,cortisol or DHEA . I feel like Im not 20 anymore, like Im dead from inside. Its all because of these drugs. DONT EVER BELIEVE into this depression CRAP. Before I had my worryes like all students in university but I had perfect health. Antidepressants damaged my body

[sirloynes]

@TheChembalin if you truly were depressed, your body would have responded well to the anti depressants. Just because they damaged your body does not mean that they do not work for others...for some they can be lifesavers!

[sirloynes]

@TheChembalin And by that I mean if it is a true depression, your body should and probably will respond well, and not cause other damage. Please don't scare away some people who might or do really need such pills.

[TheChembalin]

@sirloynes "Just because they damaged your body does not mean that they do not work" All I can say to this is. WOW I didnt know that something which can damage the human body can help anyone. Once I thought the same until they the drugs destroyed my body. Save yourself before its too late for you. These POISONS help no ne. People die on these drugs. These are toxic chemicals entering your bloodsteam. Toxins dont heal anything. Youre just a proffit for big pharma and psychiatry.

[asdfxcxv]

What would you call the opposite of "Adrenal fatigue" when your fight-or-flight hormones are constantly working

[V8SplashMan]

This video was a complete waste of my time, and while depression is definetly a reason from tiredness it is a condition doctors will label to just about anything. Almost every problem can be labled as a depression disorder. Besides that, I would take a herbal supplement over a pharmaceutical drug.

[bmyers0686]

Adrenal Fatigue is very real. Unfortunately we have doctors like the one shown in this video who believe that they are also psychologist. Feeling run down and over stressed can be caused by tons of variables. Simply taking an antidepressant won't solve any of these. If you believe that you truly have adrenal fatigue you need to seek out a doctor who will prescribe you a low dose of Cortef.

[cha0z4o0]

il fuck you up with my adrenal fatigue anger bitch, have u spent a second in gym? try it, and do something with your life other than having such an annoying voice...

[teika12]

after years of being misdiagnosed I finally found a MEDICAL DOCTOR who tested me and is treating me for low cortisol (adrenal fatigue). He does not sell supplements. I received a prescription for Cortef. I am getting my life back. When you run out of cortisol you die. It's called shock. People can die of shock. Humans try to life outside the laws of nature..we pay a price for it. Shame on the medical profession and shame of the guys who produced this crap.

[majorl311]

this sounds like Penn from Penn and Teller,I would not listen to him

[SuperTomo34]

complementary medicine has saved me from adrenal fatigue. it is very real and many people are experiencing this condition with very little help from conventional doctors. stop making a mockery of alternative therapeutic techniques which actually benefit people and turn your energies instead to criticizing big pharmaceutical companies who are legally permitted to sell drugs with extremely harmful side effects.

[kellyi88]

Okay being stressed and not being able to sleep does not mean you have depression. What kind of bogus diagnosis is that?

[MrLoga90]

I'm not depressed, stressed, and I have a good life, but I get sick all the time, hot flashes, cold, I can't eat, and sooo tired I can't move or think, and the doctors tell me I'm depressed.... I'm not, I tried anti-depressants I feel no different, the only thing that helps me is following a sophisticated diet.

[nigellewis1976]

So they throw anti d's at you, fXXXing doctors. Don't believe a word of this video learn about adrenal fatigue and ignore the medical industry that throw anti d's at you, which can be a living hell when you are so run down.

This video has made me angry.

[Aislan4414]

15 years of antidepressants and counseling and reading every self help book I can get a hold of did sqwat for me. The antidepressants made things worse actually. Psychiatry is a bunch of quacks. Ask them how antidepressants work. They rely with "We don't know exactly.We think it's a chemical imbalance." Well then where is the test that shows and imbalance? "There isn't one." Antidepressants are horse shit!

[dannybex]

My opinion of Penn and Teller just went out the window. Penn is an obese, overcaffeinated blowhard who obviously has no empathy for anyone who can't do 10 shows a week in Vegas like he can.

Sad, not funny.

[FiklPikl]

HAHAHAHHAHA, they might not get treated for depression, which means WE don't get money

[FletcherHabit]

damn The Man!  Think for yourself. Question Authority.

[mepammy]

This is great...gotta love it, thanks :D. Glad I found a REAL endocrinologist (not a sub-specialist) who properly diagnosed me with adrenal dysfunction...caused by an intolerance to carbohydrates....which is what happens in the years before the onset of diabetes. In my case it's genetic and my father went through the exact same thing before he developed type II diabetes. Which was discovered after he had a heart attack.

[carlosa507]

I could not even finish watching this ignorant video because of the language. Adrenal Fatigue is not recognized by insurance companies because there's no ICD code for it. Why? Because there's no money in healing Adrenal Fatigue. I too have Adrenal Fatigue, I cannot go to work, school, take care of my kids because something is wrong with me. Oh, but wait, no there's not, because some blood test says i'm okay, therefore, i might just be depressed. Whatever...

[MrBlowies]

@carlosa507 The fact that it's not recognized by insurance companies is irrelevant, it's not recognized by the MEDICAL community. If it were, you could bet some pharm. company would pump out some bspill (ala depression pills) because people like yourself would buy them. Only eat fruits, vegatables, nuts, meat and fish and get regular exercise outside and i promise you you will see dramatic results. Maybe not immediately, but eventually.

[researchgurl777]

This video is BULL, not adrenal fatigue. I am an adrenal patient, who suffered for years with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, thyroid issues, brain fog, and the list goes on and on. All my tests always came back normal. The only solution my doctor had for me was an anti-depressant, so at least I would not feel depressed about feeling sooooooooo crappy. Luckily I found a doctor who understood and dianosed me properly. Keep looking for answers, this condition is REAL!!!

[slmrcs]

This video is beyond stupid. Because there is some doctor in a white coat he's correct. How many people are tired, exhausted, can't wake up, can't fall asleep...oh, not it doesn't exist!!!! The human body is designed to handle long term stress as well as short term...ok so if you were ever tired after a stressful event it's ALL in your head because your body can handle it ALL. Conventional medicine has no answers, which is shy this video only has 70 views, because it is garbage dis-info.

[futoncat]

@slmrcs The show is actually extremely popular (Penn & Teller's Bullshit), and I actually usually agree with them. However, they are completely wrong here. One does not know of these disorders until oneself or someone close has them. Obviously, the writers of this show (likely including Penn and Teller) have not seen this happen in their personal lives...

[believeinfidelity]

Adrenal Fatigue is real, I am undergoing it as of now. This is extremely biased. I think you should pick up Adrenal Fatigue by James L. Wilson and find that the information is actually quite solid. Do your own research, don't out-rightly listen to a doctor or a TV show.
