My husband weighs 375 pounds, 61 years old, high blood pressure for which he is taking medications, one of which causes him to have swelling in his feet and legs, and water weight gain for which he takes diuretics. He never used to have a problem losing weight. we eat lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grain, less red meat, more turkey and chicken, drink lots of water; he tries to exercise on a recumbent bike 4 or 5 times a week for 20 minutes (he has arthritis in his back, knees and ankles, with spinal stenosis and bulging discs, degenerative disk disease, so walking and exercise are difficult). but with changing our eating habits and trying to increase activity, he still has not lost a pound. Would Cylapril be okay for him to take with HBP? He was also diagnosed with a couple benign growths on his kidneys and I’m wondering if these might be affecting his adrenal glands. His doctor is not proactive in monitoring or recommending anything to help with weight loss, except eat less, exercise more. I am worried about his quality of life and failing health and am frustrated because I have changed how I cook but nothing is helping. We need to try something but I am concerned about the safety and effecacy of this product given his health concerns. I look forward to hearing from you.

Zing from HCBL in Florida,it's a supplement with gingko,gotu cola,bee pollen and ginseng.It's really good when you are groggy or down.

Plus a regular vitamin like one a day,not a mega dose or stress dose except b-6 is good for nerves up to 50 mgs.

adrenals secrete
(1) adrenalin
(2) steroids
(3) testosterone
(4) aldosterone

so in wieght issue i would say steroids and aldosterone are very important because they cause significant wieght gain but u said they removed the gland so steroid is less in ur body
the question now
are u on any type of replacement therapy??
i mean steroid supplements

ya the adrenal glands have some effect on the metabolism.and only when their levels increase ther may be a rise in weight and in your case there is reduced cortisol levels…and what i guess is that to compensate the removal of the rt gland yoour doctor would have prescribed some additional steroids…you should have mentioned your post op drugs…any how consult yoour doctor and check your serum hormones level
and you can increase fibers in your diet….havin divided small frequent meals may be helpful…adding up fibers may impfove satiety and may reduce the lipid absorbtion

Congratulations on Kicking the drugs and alcohol !!!!

I used vitamin B complex - co enzyme A - L-Tyrosine - vitamin C - in addition to my multi-vitamins and minerals.

Check your resources of Health Stores (GNC is ok)
Look up Adrenal Disorders in the book—
Prescription for Nutritional Healing.
There are a lot of recommendations there.

Good Luck

Comment on I have adrenal fatigue What can I do to help? by endlessdragon

It almost seems a bit redundant to point out that tea might have the ability to alleviate fatigue. After all, for many people who drink it (and coffee) that's one of tea's most appealing features. But, according to more than one study, it's not just the caffeine content of tea that imparts this benefit.

Recent research in Japan appears to have confirmed what for many people was already a given, that tea may help cut down on physical and mental fatigue. Results of a study that appeared in the journal Nutrition in 2008 indicated that a green tea extract helped counter the accumulated effects of fatigue.

The tests were carried out on rats and found that those fed a green tea compound called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were able to exercise longer than animals in a control group. Researchers noted that those in the control group experienced increased levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), which were lessened in the group given EGCG.

A previous study indicated that green tea extract tended to alleviate chronic fatigue-induced oxidative stress in mice. According to researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and DePaul University, there are more than one million people, just in the United States alone, who suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

The study, which was conducted by researchers at India's Panjab University, treated mice with a combination of green tea extract and catechin, a compound also found in tea. They concluded "that GTE and catechin could be used as potential agents in the management of CFS and warrant the inclusion of GTE and catechin in the treatment regimen of CFS patients.

The notion that tea (and coffee) can help with fatigue is obviously not a new one, as evidenced by this 1989 article - Fatigue: Often Tea & Coffee Can Alleviate Symptoms - which first appeared in the Tea & Coffee Trade Journal.

I am not much of a believer in alternate therapies as some may work but how would a person know? It may have a psychological affect and nothing else. I do know the adrenal glands are heavily dependent on vitamin C so i would use that as a supplement. The adrenal glands are heavily involved in stress bot physical and mental the cortex which is the bark has 52 known hormones it makes including cortisol. There was a pharmaceutical product called ACE which was given by injection. It was adrenal cortical extract taken from animal glands. I don't think it is available any more as it's value was in question. A person with true adrenal exhaustion has Addison's disease and the skin turns dark. I think an endocrinologist should be able to prescribe any hormones that are essential to better heath. Only supplying them and rest will make the glands return to normal.
