Search CUSHINGS SYNDROME What I have found: imbalances and energetic disturbances in the Pituitary-Adrenal Gland- Pancreas relationships on the physical and electromagnetic levels of the patient. PHYSICAL LEVEL MEDICAL DEFINITION:  Cushings Syndrome is an endocrine imbalance due to hyperadrenalcorticocism . This means it is caused by an abnormal increased secretion of hormones by the cortex of the Adrenal Gland. These hormones regulate water and electrolytes, blood sugar, sex hormones and natural cortisones. Generally the main defect is in the increased secretion of the glucocorticoid cortisol Hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex can be a result of abnormalities in the cortices, the pituitary or the hypothalamus of the brain. If one sided, the cause can be a tumor in the pituitary (adenomas or adenocarcinomas of the anterior lobe). Or it can be due to a defect in the negative feedback mechanism in the hypothalamus, whereby increasing levels of circulating cortisol (natural cortisone), does not result in physiologic inhibition of the

Introduction What Are the Symptoms? What Causes Cushing's Syndrome? How Is Cushing's Syndrome Diagnosed? ... What Other Resources Are Available? Introduction Cushing's syndrome is a hormonal disorder caused by prolonged exposure of the body's tissues to high levels of the hormone cortisol. Sometimes called "hypercortisolism," it is relatively rare and most commonly affects adults aged 20 to 50. An estimated 10 to 15 of every million people are affected each year. What Are the Symptoms? Symptoms vary, but most people have upper body obesity, rounded face, increased fat around the neck, and thinning arms and legs. Children tend to be obese with slowed growth rates. Other symptoms appear in the skin, which becomes fragile and thin. It bruises easily and heals poorly. Purplish pink stretch marks may appear on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms and breasts. The bones are weakened, and routine activities such as bending, lifting or rising from a chair may lead to backaches, rib and spinal column fractures. Most people have severe fatigue, weak muscles, high blood pressure and high blood sugar. Irritability, anxiety and depression are common.

Cushing's Syndrome Tell a friend: Cushing's Syndrome - Part One... 15 Oct 1999 Featured Article by Troya Renee Yoder, used with permission as originally posted on Suite 101.com, Pituitary Disorders What is Cushing's Syndrome? First described by the physician, Harvey Cushing , in 1912, Cushing’s syndrome (sometimes called hypercortisolism) refers to a disorder in which the body suffers from prolonged exposure to high levels of the stress hormone cortisol . Because of the gradual nature of the disease, the time between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis of Cushing’s is often long and frustrating. The Cortisol Production Pathway In order to understand how Cushing’s syndrome arises, it is necessary to briefly examine the cortisol pathway. First, the hypothalamus secretes corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH). CRH stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete ACTH , which causes the adrenal glands to release cortisol into the bloodstream. A biologic feedback loop exists in which the
