"At this point, the pancreas and the other organs of the endocrine system are put under tremendous stress since they have to draw reserves from the entire body in order to produce massive amounts of the proper enzymes. The less digestion that takes place before food reaches the small intestine, the greater the stress placed on the endocrine systems. Recent studies have shown that virtually 100% of all Americans have an enlarged pancreas by the time they are 40. Is it any wonder that the incidence of diabetes is exploding in the developed world?" - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Diabetes belongs under the umbrella of the endocrine system because it occurs when the body can no longer produce or use normally the pancreatic hormone insulin. As you know, cases of diabetes continue to increase dramatically not only across the United States but also globally. While it's the sixth leading cause of death, it just may be the most preventable and reversible disease of the bunch—particularly Type 2, or adult-onset diabetes, which often occurs with lack of exercise, poor diet, and obesity." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Its bioenergetic correlation is not so much to the endocrine system as it is to increasing blood supply, and its focus is less about function than it is about facilitating the integration of mind and body. Use of either the Male or Female Energetic Star Infoceuticals may stimulate physical and bioenergetic detoxification because the endocrine glands can store toxins and when these glands begin to work more effectively they can more easily excrete those toxins. Peter's matching experiments indicate that tin and lead both are particularly deleterious to sexual function." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "Through the endocrine system, Energetic Integrator 9 bioenergetically affects the entire thyroid gland, adrenal medulla, and serotonin production in the pituitary gland. It has widely distributed correlations to specific parts of the brain, heart, and the mucosae of the body, as reviewed in the following lists." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Enzymes can be used to improve digestion, particularly the digestion of fats and carbohydrates; improve energy levels; and support proper functioning of the endocrine system and organs." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) "Recommendations for supporting the health of your endocrine system include detoxification (through the process in chapter 4), nutritional therapies, lowering stress levels, and proper rest, as well as enzymes to support the digestive and immune systems and balance the body's pH levels." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) "You can improve this condition by improving your body's ability to eliminate toxins, using enzymes to improve digestion, cleanse the blood, fortify the endocrine system, and improve the assimilation of sugars and fats." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) "Instead they are absorbed into the blood and can benefit different systems of the body, such as the cardiovascular system by increasing circulation, the immune system by providing it with essential enzymes to manufacture healthy white blood cells, and the endocrine system by taking stress off of the glands. Though enzyme supplements may not function directly as metabolic enzymes, they have been shown to improve metabolic function. The therapeutic or systemic use of enzymes is designed specifically to support a deficiency in metabolic enzymes, not replace them." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"This is a tightly controlled endocrine system and is considered to be the major contributor to the circulating levels of the active metabolite of vitamin D. Plasma levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D rise only when needed, as a result of synthesis in the kidney. The "need" for vitamin D action relates to its primary role (endocrine function) of providing the building blocks of bone—calcium and phosphate. When there is a need for calcium, this is expressed as hypocalcemia, which acts as the trigger for synthesis 40 50 Vitamin D3 (ng/mL) (A) 80 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 y = 21.5+1.0x-0." - Ann M.

"The body's endocrine system is responsible for sending hormonal mesages to our glands and organs. When everything is operating without interference, fetuses, babies, and children grow to become healthy adults. But when the endocrine system is influenced by outside chemicals such as DDT, confusing messages are sent to our cells, leading to genetic malfunctions that result in gross or subtle cellular changes that can cause many problems. In male babies, this could mean a child born with undescended testicles or who is susceptible to testicular cancer." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Vividly imagining sends messages to our limbic system (the feeling center of our brain), to the endocrine system (the control center for all our hormones), and to our autonomic nervous system (which controls functions like heart rate, blood pressure, perspiration, respiratory rate, and so on). Think only about one of your greatest passions for three minutes. Note how you feel physically and emotionally afterward. TREATING INSOMNIA WITH BLISS The next time you wake up at three a.m. in a fit of overthink-ing, try an experiment." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"The effects toxins can have on our nervous system is sweeping, similar to the all-encompassing effect they can have on the endocrine system. In addition to our nerves and spinal column, at the top of the nervous system is the organ that controls so much of our life: the brain. Anything that disrupts the brain's health and capacity to function normally should be a cause of alarm. First, a note about fat. If there's one kind of "body fat" that's extremely healthy, it's the kind that comprises our nervous system. Yes, you read that right: about two-thirds of your brain is composed of fats." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"The basic building blocks, or starter hormones, for the endocrine system are also manufactured in the liver from complete amino acids, which are only supplied from raw protein in the diet. The liver is truly magnificent and definitely one of the master organs of the body. It is impossible to have a healthy body without a healthy liver. Restoring and maintaining the health of the liver must always be a high priority because a free and healthy flow of bile is central to our health." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Women who are reading this know exactly what I'm talking about, and for that matter I am sure the men reading this know, too. The endocrine system regulates development, growth, reproduction, and behavior through an intricate system of hormones. Hormones are your body's messengers that get produced in one part of the body, such as the thyroid, adrenal or pituitary gland, pass into the bloodstream, and go to distant organs and tissues, where they act to modify structures and functions." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"These glands make up the endocrine system. endocrine system The system of endocrine glands in the body. The endocrine system chemically controls the various functions of cells, tissues, and organs through the secretion of hormones. The endocrine system includes the adrenal, parathyroid, pituitary, and thyroid glands, as well as the ovaries, pancreas, and testes. endorphins (en-dawr-finz) Substances produced by the brain that have painkilling and tranquillizing effects on the body." - James Trefil, Joseph F. Kett, and E. D. Hirsch, The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know (Get the book.)

"However, overgrowth can affect the GI tract, the genital-urinary tract, the endocrine system, and the nervous system." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "The endocrine system is primarily the hypothalamus, which is the brain's brain. The gland in your brain that controls just about everything, including aging, is not even the size of your pinky fingernail. It sends a whole bunch of hormones—called 'releasing hormones' or 'factors'—down to the pituitary gland, which is the master gland of the brain. This orchestrates secretions from all the glands in your body—the thyroid, the adrenal, the gonads (the testicles or ovaries)." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Whichever kind of interference acts on various bodily systems in this state of psycho-physiological equilibrium (cardiovascular, neurovegetal, endocrine system), it causes more or less evident bodily responses. Any kind of long-lasting stimulus leads either to adapting or to negative overloading. Everyone has his own threshold over which an excessive stimulus (whenever the body considers it so) produces a breach in the state of physiological equilibrium (homeostasis). The eyes are the organs most affected by such imbalance and show it through function disorders." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"While on a physical level each energy center is linked to one of the organs of the endocrine system, on an energetic level the chakras play different roles in our lives. In the following sections, we'll define emotion, thought, and feeling separately and then illustrate how they come together to form the inner experiences that become our reality. Figure 6. Illustration showing the concentration of the seven energy centers that form the chakra system running vertically from the crown to the perineum of the human body. This drawing comes from an ancient Sanskrit manuscript." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"A condition independent of diabetes in which there is an imbalance in the endocrine system in which the blood sugar drops rapidly or too low. The problem is usually with pancreatic, adrenal, or thyroid imbalances. immunization—Sometimes called vaccination; a shot or injection that theoretically protects a person from getting an illness by making the person "immune" to it. Evidence does not necessarily support the theory. impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)—Blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not so high as to be considered diabetes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Estrogen mimics pose a threat to human health because our bodies perceive them to be estrogen, which may disrupt our endocrine system. Estrogenic toxins enter our bodies through various paths, including through the foods we eat, particularly meat, poultry, and nonorganic high-fat dairy products. Corn. Corn is sneaked into a wide variety of processed foods in this country, so always read the labels." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"This increased distress, in turn, makes the endocrine system bathe the body in stress hormones, such as cortisol-which pushes the amygdala into an even further frenzy, creating a spiral of worry, dread, and doubt that never seems to cease. This wreckage of structures and secretions can derange the brain all the way down to the single-cell level. In fact, the chaotic physical forces that batter the autistic brain appear to even cause abnormality in a special type of brain cell that may hold within it the very heart of love. This type of brain cell is called the mirror neuron." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"If the liver is not functioning to full capacity—called a sluggish liver—it can impact your central nervous system, your digestive system, your endocrine system, your reproductive system, and your cardiovascular system. CHAPTER 5 STEP TWO: ELIMINATE TOXINS IN YOUR BODY The essence of the Detox Strategy is a collection of simple concepts and actionable steps comprising a multisystem approach for total body health and transformation.

"Consuming animal meats and/or processed milk means consuming the accompanying hormones which can alter the human endocrine system. The average shoe size of American children has increased in recent years. Women are developing breasts and starting their menstrual cycles at Endocrine System: The system of glands regulating bodily processes, including the Hypothalamus, Pineal, Pituitary, Thyroid, Parathyroid, very early ages, primarily due to the combination of growth hormones, testosterone, and estrogen ancj Adrenal glands ingested through meat, milk, and cheese products." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Cold intolerance can also signal the hormone-related disorder hypopituitarism, a malfunction of the pituitary, the endocrine system's master gland. In addition to hypersensitivity to cold, people with hypopituitarism may suffer from fatigue, fertility problems, and low blood pressure. And cold intolerance can be a sign of another hormone-related disorder, hypothalamic dysfunction, which affects the hypothalamus, a gland that helps regulate body temperature, appetite, weight, and emotions. Hypothalamic dysfunction can itself be a sign of a tumor, infection, head trauma, or malnutrition." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"It has now become apparent that not only does the endocrine system affect the immune system, but that the opposite is also true: the immune system affects the endocrine system. Evidence supporting a bidirectional communication between the immune and endocrine systems includes the following (reviewed by Plotnikoff et al, 1991): • Lymphocytes and macrophages synthesize and appear to secrete several pituitary hormones. • Lymphoid and myeloid cells secrete hormone-like molecules that act locally (cytokines), and act at distant sites, such as the brain, to affect the neuroendocrine system." - John Boik, Cancer & Natural Medicine: A Textbook of Basic Science and Clinical Research (Get the book.)

"Chapter Six The Endocrine System: Key to Your Weil-Being Normally the various glands of the endocrine system do their work so smoothly and efficiently that they go unnoticed. In fact, most people can name only a few of the more than a hundred hormones that are secreted by the glands of the endocrine system. These hormones regulate the function of nearly all the organs and tissues of the body, so the endocrine system really is the ultimate regulator of our well-being. When this complex network of glands malfunctions, it can affect our overall health at a very basic level." - Ronald L. Hoffman, M.D., Intelligent Medicine: A Guide to Optimizing Health and Preventing Illness for the Baby-Boomer Generation (Get the book.)
