Is Adrenal Fatigue Linked To Bowel Problems And Anxiety?My diagnosed adrenal fatigue - adrenal insufficiency - seemed to depart and my energy was restored after doing the body detox Colonix colon cleanse program and allowing for my overly sensitive nerves to heal. Towards the beginning of my health challenges, I first went the medical route and obtained a full physical. All appropriately taken tests came back fine, which was good. But, my perplexing health challenges continued and I was unable to resolve them on my own. Therefore, I then worked with a natural health practitioner. She had me take a saliva test by Diagnos-Techs, Inc., Clinical and Research Laboratory which is located in Kent, Washington, to perhaps get further understanding of what could be causing my imbalances and exacerbating health symptoms. This particular test diagnosed me as having adrenal insufficiency - adrenal fatigue. Actually, the test said I was in the worst and end stage of adrenal deterioration. My cortisol levels were very low. Not a good situation! Well, I definitely felt like I was in the "end stages." It didn't surprise me that these glands were exhausted. You see, I felt like my whole body was exhausted. I am sure just about every organ and cell in my entire body was running insufficiently. Mostly, I had no energy to walk but very short distances and exercise was not even a remote possibility. Overexerting my body in any way would exhaust me even more. OK, my leg muscles were a bit sore on the ride back. In fact, they were sore for about a good 24 hours. I do think I need to get in better shape now and to prepare for a longer bike ride next year. But, what a thrill to have the strength to complete that bicycle ride. Yes, the body really can heal! Everyone is now ready to ride through this impressive, dark tunnel that sprinkles one with its drops of mineral rich water falling from its ceiling. If you are dealing with adrenal fatigue, I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel for you too!
Dr. Weekes says after repeated stress and tension, the adrenal glands get used to frequently secreting adrenalin. Over time from continual stress, this now slippery "trigger" much more easily fires and shoots off adrenalin. This "trigger" is easily "pulled" by these glands at the tiniest stressor or at times without apparent rhyme or reason. The adrenalin then quickly courses throughout the body. This adrenalin releasing "trigger" becomes well oiled from continually firing off as a result of the perpetual stress, worry, tension and habitual fear. The key is to get that "trigger" back to its normal more resistant "trigger" state so it is not always firing off at the smallest stressor. That is exactly how I felt. The "trigger" was constantly going off and I could not stop this over reaction. When I read about the overactive adrenals and "trigger" response, I thought that must have contributed to my diagnosed adrenal insufficiency. The continuous stress, well oiled the "trigger" on my adrenals. Hence, the frequently occurring flow of adrenalin just wore out my body, mind and led to adrenal fatigue. I had been told it can take a year, from two different natural health practitioners, for the exhausted adrenal glands to heal and for energy to resume. Unfortunately, this adrenal fatigue, actually whole body severe fatigue, went on for years. I believe the adrenal fatigue was not the culprit for my debilitating health symptoms. Stress, tension, worry, the habit of fear, and an inadequate diet led to out of balance nerves and increased my body's toxicity. This out of balance and unhealthier state then caused various physical manifestations including the adrenal fatigue. I had taken adrenal fatigue supplements, recommended by my natural health care practitioners, to support my adrenals and body. I felt some improvements with these supplements. However, my unhealthier state still largely continued. Thankfully, once I finally did the bowel cleanse and body detoxification with the Colonix program and then overcame my acute anxiety, my state of complete exhaustion started lifting more and more each day.

As I mentioned on My Story page, I was able to hike for the first time in several years while on day 45 of my Colonix colon cleanse.

The resulting decrease in body toxins from the phenomenal bowel cleanse clearly allowed an overall bodily healing to begin. This was a physical and mental healing. My anxiety decreased and my joy for living started resuming. My brain started firing up again after being on hiatus for far too long. This colon cleanse was an effective component of my adrenal fatigue treatment. Yes, the body can certainly restore itself to better health. Those nerve support supplements, applying Dr. Claire Weekes's self help teachings, detoxed bowels and body, plus an improved diet allowed for my body to get healthier and to reestablish my peace of mind. The result from this was, happily, no more disabling fatigue and getting back to the person I used to be. Hello energy and hasta la vista adrenal fatigue!
