Your adrenals are two pyramid-shaped glands that are on top of your kidneys.
They do several jobs, but one of the most significant is to help your body cope with stress.
Let's say you get attacked by a mountain lion.
Your brain and central nervous system go into hyperdrive.
Your adrenal cortex (the center of the adrenal gland) floods your body with adrenaline immediately - it's an automatic, almost instantaneous response.
All of this makes your heart race, dilates your eyes, opens bronchioles (for better breathing), and dilates blood vessels providing your muscles with immediate oxygen and glucose for energy.

Arthritis is a condition in which the joints of the body become inflamed and damaged, subsequently undergoing progressive deterioration.
There are many types of arthritis that occur for many different reasons.
To understand arthritis we first must start with an understanding of joints.
The joints of our body are made of several different types of tissues.
Most of the joints in the body are synovial joints, which means that they are lubricated by a fluid called synovial fluid produced from within the joint itself.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common rheumatic disease with an estimated prevalence of 2.1 to 5.7% of the general population.
It has been shown that women are much more likely to develop FM than men (by a ratio of 4 to 1) and that the incidence of FM increases with age, such that it is most common in women who are 50 years of age or older.
Although fibromyalgia is a relatively recent term, this syndrome has been known by several other names over the past years including soft tissue rheumatism, fibrositis, and non-articular rheumatism.

Balance of the androgenic hormones; estrogen (and its conjugates), progesterone, DHEA, pregnenalone and Testosterone, are important in many ways.
The older we get the more important it becomes.
The higher the stress level or the poorer our diets, proper hormone balance becomes even more important.
For those who have a cancer history or family predisposition to cancer it is absolutely vital.
Over the past years the consequences of environmental impacts, genetics, obesity, sedentary lifestyles and stress are becoming almost prediction factors for the development of cancer.
