Benard Jensen had this to say about the adrenal glands.

The adrenal glands are probably more frequently exhausted in the stress of daily living than any other gland. Located on top of the kidneys, the adrenals are divided into two parts, the medulla and the cortex. Hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex trigger the reduction of proteins into amino acids and then into glucose, speed up the utilization of fats, help maintain normal blood pressure, reduce the white blood cell count, assist in tissue recovery from inflammation, help regulate blood sodium content and affect sexual characteristics. The adrenal medulla hormones, adrenalin and norepinephrine, affect the heart, muscles, and other glands.

Whenever we encounter a stressful or fearful circumstance, adrenalin pours into the bloodstream, to assist in what is often called the "flight or flight" mechanics, increasing the cardiac and respiratory rates, constricting the blood vessels and dilating the bronchial tubes. During this process, the B vitamin complex and vitamin C are rapidly used up, and in my view, the excessive use and depletion of adrenalin constitute a major debilitating factor that helps explain the generally inadequate level of health in these times. We find that chronic asthmatics are given adrenalin during severe attacks, presumably because their own supply of this substance is depleted. Catarrhal flow is severely restricted or even altogether lacking, yet it is only through catarrhal flow that toxins at the root of many problems are eliminated.

Exhaustion of the adrenals brings low blood pressure, loss of energy and a lack of the power and will to face up to and overcome stress.
