Nicki Vichick have any of you experienced things like a fast pulse, heart pounding in your chest, not being able to sleep because you're so exhausted but your adrenals are on fire, being really frightened at the slightest sound, blurred vision, sensitivity to lightand sound, arm aches, leg aches, neck aches, (everywhere aches) extreme hunger. i feel like i am on the severe end of the spectrum. my body rejects any kind of support. i have been doing yoga and trying to deep breath but it's hard to even breathe.

Karen Gordon Have you tried the adrenal herbal tincture? Did you take the health self-assessment health questionnaire to determine your inherited glandular weaknesses? Could you have a heart arrhythmia? Why are you hungry? Are you eating enough? Do you have parasites and candida? Are you on a parasite protocol? Are your kidneys filtering? Being tired is the main symptom of adrenal fatigue. Have you contacted the clinic for advice or support?

Lauren EismanThe anxiety is sadly perfectly normal. I went through it a couple of years ago when I first transitioned straight from SAD to fully raw vegan and it was tough. I would smoke some cannabis and I know that sounds counter productive but shit, it saved mylife during detox. Granted if this is a strict drug and alcohol detox that would not be an option and more sedate items such as melatonin plant based supplements, kava root and even Valerian root are all great things to experiment with! Fo sho!

Cyndee Spilker-JacobsonNicki Vichickhave you taken methyl cobalamin? It is the active form of B-12. I took B-12 for years including weekly injections) and never touched my levels until my doctor switched me to the active form. Now my numbers are off the charts (in a good way!)

Sury SpreiNicki VichickI had similar symptoms. This sounds b12 related and your neurotransmitters are out of whack. I had this a few weeks ago with a feeling of vibrations down to my legs. All went away with a b12 shot. I was very deficient turned out. I know morse doesn't recommend supplementing but in my case he actually did.

Hi irene,

here is the information i send earlier this day to Nicki

I am 16 month in since understanding my "illness" and changed diet, lifestyle and took some supplements.
I am no yet fully recovered but went from absolute 0 energy/stress/survival mode to working part time and be able to have almost no symptoms outside of getting tired faster than normal.

Here is the resume ^^A - Alimentation

With real adrenal fatigue, you can't go all fruit all raw as it is way too violent.
The same with fast, i did a 3 day fast before changing diet but couldn't do more.
It is important to go slow, even more at the beginning when the body is really exhausted !
The best way to start for me was:
- adding a lot of green juices (you can add some fruits like apple and herbs like turmeric, whatever your body ask). I did between 1 and 2 liters a day for the first year. Try to drink them slowly all along the day
- removing all refined food but not going 100% raw but just the more i could tolerate. For example, juicing and raw morning and steamed vegetable the evening. Try eating early, around 6 PM.
- don't remove fat as you need them, you can use for example coco oil which is very good source
- if you want some meat, have a little but good one raw or steamed
This is important not trying to go to fast, yes some day you'll be able to go all raw, but when your body will be cleaner.

B - Digestive system cleaning

It is really important to help clean the digestive system as it is very important for health and mood too.
You can do colonics (i did 3 when changing lifestyle and do one every month now).
But enema at home is good too, you can do it 2 time a day at the beginning (if not too exhausted) for faster result.
Take psyllium too to help good fiber cleaning the gi track slowly.

C - Supplements

You can take herbs :
- adrenal support herbs. Dr morse one is good.
Adaptative herbs are good but some might be too strong so you test it. The softer for me are aswagandha (indian ginseng) and Eleutherococcus (siberian ginseng).
- other herbs helping the whole body (such as the Dr morse fab 4)
I take also supplements from James L. Wilson.
He wrote a good book about adrenal fatigue that you can read, it will give you a lot of insight.
See his website here : http://www.adrenalfatigue.org/
There is a questionnaire to see the severity : http://www.adrenalfatigue.org/take-the-adrenal-fatigue-quiz
I take it's vitamins and glandular extract supplements since 6 month and tolerate them well. They are especially designed to support adrenals. Regarding glandular, you can stop them some period of time if you feel they push too much.
It is important to have high mineral intake. The vegetable juices will help but you can add good coco water or Quinton plasma (helped me a lot).

D - Other techniques and ressources

You can do sauna.
You can do bath with baking soda added (start slowly with a small glass and you can add up to 1 kilo if you tolerate it well).
You can brush the skin.
You can see the state and evolution of adrenal and thyroid just following your temperature : http://www.drrind.com/therapies/metabolic-temperature-graph
It will help you see the evolution of your health and see if a product help you or not

E - Rest, Rest, Rest

Sleeping is most important !
Eat early around 6 pm, avoid violent light the night, go to bed maximum at 10 pm.
Stay in bed in the morning until 9 if possible.
Herbs like ashwagandha and/or infusion can help sleeping.
It this is not enough, you can take some melatonin (hormon for sleep in the body) from time to time to help the body. Sleep will get better as the body get better.

F - Physical activity

Moving is good but at your rhythm.
Try walking a little in nature for example or doing some yoga like exercice at home.

G - Pollutions to remove Remove from your environments : - electromagnetic pollutions : cut wifi and phone always or at least at night, change light bulb to filament bulb. - water : be sure your drinking water is good, you can try distilled water or water bottle (prefer in glass if possible) - chemicals : take natural product and avoid all "industrial" stuff for your house and you H - Stress and illness Try to reduce your stress the best you can. For that, you can meditate or pray. Meditation is just watching your thought with love and compassion and not identifying with them. Eckart toll is good on explaining that (but lacking emphasis on the importance of love). It is important to understand that illness is meaningful for us to help us grow. "God" would not have send this trial to us if we were not able to go through it. Be sure that this is for the best even if you are suffering a lot for the moment. I know it's really hard but believe me, you will surely get better.

An important precision, i am not 100% raw, and surely not 100% fruit ! I am playing between 40% and 80% raw depending how much detox i am in, the rest being mainly steamed vegetable. I have added a little fruit some time when feeling good but 100% fruit with adrenal fatigue is really suicidal and not useful. Fruit fasten detox but you can detox enough with good unprocessed food, juices and some supplements. There is no rush, and being too fast can weaken the body even more.

One other precision

In the dr morse group, people tend to push to 100% raw fruit but dr morse himself explain that it is not adapted when being nervously exhausted, especially with adrenal.

You don't have to do big fast or fruit only to heal.

Some people whose state are not too degenerative can afford it but my experience suggest that we can't ^^

FCE Speaking Test: Part 2 (Long Turn)Tests ability to:speak at length coherently, use language to describe, compare and contrast and comment upon a topic.Part 2 of the FCE Speaking test lasts between 4 minutes (6 minutes for groups of three). The examiner gives you two photographs and your partner a different pair of photographs. You have to speak about your two photos without interruption for about 1 minute and also answer a question about your partner's photographs when he or she has finished their long turn.Tips!1. Listen to the instructions carefully and make sure you know what you have to talk about. If you don't understand the instructions you should ask the examiner to repeat them:
"Excuse me, could you say that again?"
"I'm sorry, but would you mind repeating that?"2. The question will help you with the structure of your talk.
A) Start with a general summary of the topic:
'These two photographs show people involved in a sport.'
B) Then move on to a comparison of the two pictures, using words to help explain the comparison:
Bothphotographs were taken outside andeach ofthe people are concentrating hard on what they're doing. 'The top photo shows a woman rock climbingwhilstthe bottom photo is of a young skating ... It looks like the woman is out in the natural worldwhereasthe boy is in a man-made skating park ..... etc.'
C) Finally give your opinion with examples, again using signposting words and expressions to help the examiner follow your argument.
'In my opinion, sport is important for people in lots of ways.For example, it's a way to keep fit of course,butwealsomeet new peopleandcan get a lot of enjoyment from a sport ... etc.'

4. Practise making short one-minute talks as often as possible to get an idea for how long 1 minute feels like. Time yourself and ask a friend for feedback.FCE Speaking Test: Part 3: (Collaborative Task)Tests ability to:use language to discuss, express an opinion, to agree and disagree, speculate and evaluate etc.In Part 3 of the test, which lasts about 3 minutes, the examiner will give both candidates instructions and a set of visuals and the candidates will have to try to reach some form of agreement.Example TaskThe examiner will say something like:Q:Now, I'd like you to talk about something together for about 3 minutes.
Q:I'd like you to imagine that you are planning a week-long touring holiday with your partner around the country that you're studying in. You want to see as much as possible but don't want to spend too much money on transport. Look at the types of transport shown in the photographs.
Q:First talk to each other about how useful each of these forms of transport might be for your holiday. Then decide which one would be best.
Q:All right?Tips!It will help both yourself and your partner if you work together collaboratively on this task.1. Be prepared to ask your partner for his or her opinion rather than simply stating your own. For example:
'What do you think?'
'How about you?'
'Do you think ...?'2. Listen carefully' to what your partner says and respond to comments he or she makes to help the discussion flow. For example:
'Do/Have/Are you?'
'Don't/Haven't/Aren't you?'
'Do you think so?
'Really?'3. If you disagree try expressing this politely. For example:
'I see what you mean but ...'
'I can see your point but ...'
'But don't you think ...'4. Use expressions to allow yourself time to think. For example:
'That's a good question.'
'Well, let me think ...'
'It's difficult to say ...'5. You'll possibly find you don't understand something your partner has said. If this happens, take control with simple questions like those below to help you deal positively with the situation. This will also give you the chance to impress the examiner with your communication skills.

A) If you didn't quite understand a word or phrase just say something like:
"Sorry but could you explain what you mean by ........"or
"I haven't come across that word/expression before. Could you explain what you mean?"B) If you didn't hear or didn't understand something your partner has said, ask them to repeat it:
"Sorry, I didn't catch that. Could you say that again?"
"Excuse me. Could you repeat that?"C) Alternatively, you might want to confirm what you think your partner said so you could say something like:
"Do you mean ........"
"When you say ........, are you asking/do you mean ........?"FCE Speaking Test Part 4: (Discussion)Tests ability to:use language to express and justify an opinion, to agree and disagree etc.In Part 4 of the test, which lasts about 4 minutes, the examiner will join both candidates in a discussion about the general topic that appeared in Part 3.Example QuestionsQ:Which sports are popular with young people in your country?
Q:Some people say people don't participate in sport as much as they should. Do you think this is true?
Q:Do you think team sports are more fun than individuial sportsTips1. Again, as with earlier sections of the test, avoid short, 'yes', 'no' answers to the examiner's questions.Continue to work with your partner. Respond constructively and show interest in things he or she says.

Some general advice about

Keep it simple
Try to avoid complicated explanations or grammar if you are not sure about them. If the truthful answer is difficult to explain, you may want to say something easier in the exam.Ask for explanations
If you don't understand what you are meant to do, ask the examiner to explain. For example, you could say:
Could you repeat the question, please?
I'm sorry, could you explain the meaning of the word .... ?
Could you please ask the question in another way?Use full sentences
Avoid answers which are single words or listsFinish the task
When you are asked to compare and contrast two photos and to give your personal feelings about them, make sure that you leave some time for explaining your own views. If you are asked to reach a conclusion in the joint task, try to do this within the time you are given.Keep speaking
If you need time to think about something, try to keep speaking rather than remain silent.You could say things such as:
[during the interview; said to the interviewer]Please give me a moment while I think about the answer
[at the start of the individual task; talking to yourself]Let me see ... what do these photographs show?
[at the start of the joint task; talking to the other student]Shall we start by describing what we see in the pictures?
[during the three-way discussion; asking either the examiner or the other student]What is your opinion?

To avoid wasting time, make it clear when you have finished talking. For example, say something like:
That's all I can think of at the momentPractice
Before the exam, practice the test with another student (if you already know the other student who will be taking the speaking test with you, ask him/her to practice with you).
You may find it useful to pay for some private lessons with an English teacher to prepare. If you do this together with a friend then the lesson may be cheaper for you, and you can practice the speaking test in a more realistic way.

Examples of Intergenerational Programs Young Serving Old:Friendly visiting in homes or senior living facilities; home services; teaching computer skills or English as a second language; and service learning projects such as oral histories.

Older Adults Serving the Young: Mentoring programs; child care centers with older adult staff or volunteers; teen parenting guidance; tutoring and telephone reassurance.

Older Adults and the Young Serving Together: Performing/visual arts programs; family support programs; environmental preservation and community service.

Older Adults and the Young Sharing Sites: Intergenerational community centers; childcare centers in senior housing and senior centers in schools and libraries Benefits for Older Adults Studies show that active and engaged older adults remain in better health. Older adults who volunteer live longer and with better physical and mental health than their non-volunteering counterparts.11 Enhance Socialization: Older adults want to remain productive and engaged in the community. A way to prevent isolation in their later years is to increase interaction with children and youth.12 Forty-five percent of Americans working in retirement say they want to work with youth.13 Stimulate Learning: Older adults learn new innovations and technologies from their younger counterparts. They want to continue to use the skills they have acquired in their lifetimes as well as acquire new ones. Motivation and commitment to intergenerational programs comes when they feel they have taken part in their development. 14 Increase Emotional Support: Regular participation in structured social and productive activities and membership in large social networks have been shown to independently benefit health and functional outcomes as people age.15 Improve Health: Older adults who regularly volunteer with children burn 20% more calories per week, experienced fewer falls, were less reliant on canes, and performed better on a memory test than their peers.16 Also, older adults with dementia or other cognitive impairments experience more positive effect during interactions with children than they did during non-intergenerational activities.17 Benefits for Youth and Children Volunteerism and civic engagement among youth is very strong today. Being involved in the community has many benefits including developing skills, values, and a sense of empowerment, leadership, and citizenship. Improve Academic Performance: Children build their foundation for reading and related activities from kindergarten through third grade, playing an important role in literacy development.18 In schools where older adults were a regular fixture (volunteers working 15 hours per week) children had more improved reading scores compared to their peers at other schools.19 Photo: Martha Spinks Enhance Social Skills: Interacting with older adults enables youth to develop social networks, communication skills, problem-solving abilities, positive attitudes towards aging, a sense of purpose and community service.20 Volunteering also promotes good self-esteem. Young children who interact with older adults in a co-located facility, or shared site, experienced higher personal and social development by 11 months compared to children in non-intergenerational facilities.21 Decrease Negative Behavior:Youth involved in intergenerational mentoring programs are 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs, 27% less likely to begin using alcohol, and 52% less likely to skip school.22 Increase Stability: Children and youth gain positive role models with whom they can interact on a regular basis. They develop many positive relationships to civic attitudes and behaviors including volunteering habits, sense of efficacy and trust.23 Benefits for the Community Strengthen Community: Intergenerational programs bring together diverse groups and networks and help to dispel inaccurate and negative stereotypes. Sharing talents and resources help to create a unified group identity. Children, youth, and older adults are less alienated while the community recognizes that they can be contributing members of society. These programs also help preserve historical and cultural traditions, enhance community spirit and strengthen partnerships among community organizations and individuals. Maximize Human Resources: Intergenerational community service programs can multiply human resources by engaging older adults and youth as volunteers in different types of opportunities and populations. Encourage Cultural Exchange: Intergenerational programs promote the transmission of cultural traditions and values from older to younger generations, helping to build a sense of personal and societal identity while encouraging tolerance. Conclusion Research shows that when the generations come together everyone benefits, children and youth, older adults and the community at large. There are clear positive outcomes for all involved. Children are exposed to their elders traditions and wisdom. And because of these interactions, adults are able to expand their social networks and stay physically active, which betters their health outcomes. Communities benefit when all are engaged and feel included. Intergenerational programs help to dispel age-related myths and stereotypes. They can also address societal concerns such as literacy, environmental issues, health, crime prevention, and much more. Public policies can support intergenerational programs through the promotion of intergenerational civic engagement and encouragement of intergenerational solutions to community issues. Connecting generations through programs and public policies makes sense. Together we are stronger.
