HEPATITIS C AND THE ADRENAL GLAND

The adrenal glands were first described in humans in 1563 by the Italian physiologist Bartolomeo Eustachio. Thomas Addison published the first studies on their functions only in 1855. The adrenal gland is extremely important in the fight against hepatitis C. Long-term stress, disease, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, including the use of interferons, can cause the medulla and the cortex to come apart. It is during this time that disease begins to spread.

Not surprisingly, "modern medicine" seems to have completely forgotten about the support of the adrenal gland while practicing barbaric life-threatening experimentation on humans through the use of Peg Intron.

The range of stressors to which individuals react is broad: physical exhaustion, demanding deadlines, infections, prolonged exposure to intense cold or heat, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and major surgery all cause extreme pressure on the outer covering of adrenal glands due to discharge of high levels of hormones. These hormones, which are intended to help us survive stress, do so at a cost: they lower the immune system efficiency and body resistance leading to organ damage.

In order to support their adrenal glands, victims of hepatitis C should take adrenal gland concentrate, freeze-dried adrenal cortex, or best of all, but a bit expensive, Natcell Adrenal supplements. The adrenal gland aids the liver in regenerating new cells. (See Yale School of Medicine Study.)

Early research on T lymphocytes (defined as thymus-dependent cells, hence the designation "T"), shows that they express an immunoglobin-like two-chain antigen receptor (the TCR.) These cells are key components of adaptive immunity, express very diverse receptors, and are capable of enormous clonal expansion in response to an antigenic challenge. The relative expansion of specific T lymphocytes is part of the mechanism whereby a faster, more effective memory response is delivered on the second encounter with an antigen.

The liver displays extraordinary powers of regeneration after injury, but the mechanism underlying this capacity is not well understood. Minagawa et al. report that the regeneration of the liver after partial hepatectomy is accompanied by a large increase in the numbers of T-cell receptor-intermediate, mainly NK-like T cells. Further, they report that this increase is dependent on signaling through adrenergic receptors, because the beta-blocker (propranolol) and the alpha-blocker (phentolamine) inhibit the accumulation of these T cells. Minagawa et al. argue that adrenergic signals promote the recruitment of T cells. These two cell types may therefore be reciprocally regulated." (18)

Working in conjunction with the adrenal gland, the liver displays extraordinary powers of regeneration after injury and during and after viral attack. An article published by Yale Medical School entitled, "Do Natural T Cells Promote Liver Regeneration," emphasizes the importance of natural killer cells (T) cells in the regeneration of the liver. (19) Adrenergic Signals promote the recruitment of natural T Cells." Both Alpha and beta cells may be reciprocally regulated. What this means is that the adrenal gland and some of its functions are extremely important for liver cell regeneration. As evidenced by this article, the adrenal gland is still "not well understood," but one thing is certain, a healthy adrenal gland aids in the recovery from hepatitis.

Both hepatitis C and cancer patients can improve their health by taking Natcell Adrenal, which is a live peptide and they will notice a difference in their lives. Adrenal gland supplements can help the adrenal gland rebuild itself and also improve liver function.

During my treatment I took:
Two 300 mg. adrenal organic capsules per day.
I suggest taking Natcell Adrenal, one vial per week (optional).
