I wanted to share an article from Healthy Pet Network, written by Dr. P, as it might be of interest to anyone following SARDS as it relates to adrenal exhaustion/Plechner's syndrome.

Hyperestrogenism by Dr. Plechner, DVM
Published May 29, 2012 | By Terry
An article from the University of Tennessee signals that my
esteem fellow professionals are finally beginning to understand what this old
Vet’s been saying for many years now. They are beginning to realize the dangers
of excessive adrenal estrogen. They are close, but alas…no cigar.
It seems they are attempting to reduce the production of
adrenal estrogen by using various chemicals to affect it’s source, the adrenal
gland. This approach at least shows someone’s been listening to some of what
this Animal Doctor’s been saying for quite some time.
However, They still are off track. They keep trying to
affect the middle layer of the adrenal cortex but they’re barking up the wrong
layer. They need to be studying the inner layer. That’s where the problem lies.
Even so, when they finally get there they’re going to find that it’s not going
to be affected by their chemical assault.
I can understand their dilemma. The middle layer adrenal
production of cortisol hormone appears quite normal in their eyes. The problem
is that they need to understand that the cortisol being produced is defective
and is not being recognized by the pituitary gland which keeps churning out the
ACTH hormone which can cause an increase in the production of estrogen and
androgen (which can be converted into estrogen) due to an enzyme in the fatty
tissue called aromatase.
Since the elevated estrogen binds (blocks) the receiver
sites of thyroid. The bound thyroid reduces the activity of the liver and
kidneys which further guarantees less breakdown and elimination of the estrogen and androgen. This allows
the estrogen and androgen to remain
excessive. The patient, unavoidably, is also bound to gain weight, which at the
same time produces more aromatase due to the increase of fatty tissue which
inadvertently increases the amount of estrogen present…and so, round we go, in
a vicious cycle.
It’s just our luck! The corporate medical industry is
finally realizing what I’ve been trying to tell them for years. That excess
estrogen can cause real problems. Still it seems that they haven’t listened to
all of what this old Vet’s been saying (they must’ve dozed off in the middle of
the lecture).
The capper is that certain hormones like cortisol can be
defective or bound (unable to get to the right receptors) The decreased or
defective cortisol and the increased estrogen throws the immune system out of
balance. When the immune system is
imbalanced it may fall victim to a number of problems including; Aids, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy,
coronary occlusion, all types of auto-immunity, and even cancer.
Now, I understand that I am but a healer of ‘animals’.
However, I think we can all agree that all the beings on this planet are very
similar on the inside. What’s good for the Goose…well, I think you understand.
I just hope that those learned professionals at the University of Tennessee can
rise above the status quo and maybe listen to alternative sources in their
‘quest for the cures’. They should at least heed Shakespeare…
“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than
are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
Yours in Health,
Dr Al Plechner
