Re: What Adrenal Fatigue Really Is - Its 3/4 Stages - NEW VISITORS LOOK HERE FIRST

"Adrenal Fatigue" is really prolonged under-eating/anorexia. The info posted and the op's own history proves this:


"General adaptation syndrome, or GAS, is a term used to describe the body's short-term and long-term reactions to stress.
Stressors in humans include such physical stressors as starvation, being hit by a car, or suffering through severe weather.

Stage 2 might also be named the stage of adaptation, instead of the stage of resistance. During this phase, if the stress continues, the body adapts to the stressors it is exposed to. Changes at many levels take place in order to reduce the effect of the stressor. For example, if the stressor is starvation (possibly due to anorexia), the person might experienced a reduced desire for physical activity to conserve energy, and the absorption of nutrients from food might be maximized."

"I was definitely undereating which brought me into the AF world..I was training to much and eating literally nothing."


Then about three weeks later, the op said this:

"I dont believe AF actually exists really..
AF dosent exist, its that simple.
AF was a cunning ploy by ND's to capitalise on an area of medicine that was not understood or acknowledged"


I don't know if "AF" was a cunning ploy by ND's, but all the ND's and MD's who publicly promote the theory of "Adrenal Fatigue" are also big supplement sellers, including Dr. James Wilson, Dr. Larry Wilson, Dr. Michael Lam, Dr. Joseph Mercola, and Dr. Diana Schwarzbein.


Dr. Lam even supports the evidence that "AF" is really the complications of starvation by his own admission that women "get AF" way more often than men because everyone knows that women under-eat way more often than men.


Dr. Larry Wilson got sick with what he believes is "AF", but he got sick when he was eating vegan and the biggest mistakes vegans make is under-eating as all the people at this forum who got sick while being vegan were under-eating. The op was also vegan:

"Ive also been a vegetarian since I was 12, and a vegan for two years"


People, don't be fooled into thinking you have this non-scientific condition called "Adrenal Fatigue" or else you will go down a long frustrating road of believing your adrenals are the problem and you need to "rebuild" them by buying all these expensive supplements that these celebrity doctors are all too happy to sell to you for glands in your body that aren't even the problem, but the biggest danger in believing in this condition is that you might make the mistake of over-looking the real cause of your problems: under-eating.
