Look back at your history, once you have finally figured out what is wrong with you. When did the stress start? Do you have a family history of adrenal problems? Have you subsisted on sugar as your major food group? All of these things and more could have contributed to get you to the point of looking "adrenal fatigue" up on Google or some other search engine. Once you finally narrow it down, (with no help from your traditional doctor, I might add), then you can begin to try to do something about the causes of your ailment. As for me, now that I have thought about it for a long time, I can probably trace it back to family attitudes, possibly a genetic predisposition toward adrenal problems and the stress of everyday living. I have never heard anyone say that it could be genetic but, upon reflection, I realized that my mother had this problem, in huge measures. Then, I began to think of other women in my family and I think it must be somewhat predetermined, always provided that the right atmosphere is set up as you go through life.Like alcoholism, yes, you may have a predisposition for it if your family has a history, but not all the people in one family develop into full fledged alcoholics. I wish I could explain it to my now deceased mother and let her know that she wasn't imagining things and that there really was something wrong with her body, something that the doctors chose not to address. Some of her health problems were probably caused by her adrenal problems, not the least of which was asthma. Long suspected to be a stress related disease, asthma could have been a "chicken and egg" question. Adrenal fatigue first or asthma first?
So, start back through your trip, in your mind. Did you take a job that you knew was too stressful? Did you let one develop into a stress trap that you couldn't get out of? The next one would be more of the same, after all, now you have experience, right? I think all things have a psychological viewpoint as well as a physical one. They say you end up with a mate for deep reasons that you may not even know and I think that is true of the career paths you chose, as well. One job that I took, five years ago or so, should have had a flashing neon light on the front door, (Dysfunctional, dysfunctional, dysfunctional). Yet I took that job and have been facing the consequences since then. All of these things add to my big pile of stress. I seriously think that, when dealing with this disease, that your new stress just piles on top of the last stress you suffered and keeps growing. Unless you address it head on and get rid of your last problem, your next one just melts together with it, making it a bigger ball of stress.
Once you can narrow some of your stresses down, you can begin to put these things behind you, making you a much healthier person. Really.

Antioxidants are also proven to have a role in slowing the aging process and preventing heart disease and strokes. Proleva has lots of herbs which act against oxidants. Many people have benefitted from Proleva including me. I am more confident that I am going to be healthier than ever before which could help me perform better in my job.
