Realize that the symptoms named above can be symptoms of many other disorders in and of themselves, but when multiple symptoms in the list above are present, the adrenals are part of the disorder. Since the adrenals play such a significant role in the function of every system in your body, it requires restoring the adrenal function in order to heal other disorders.
