Tag in the Seam

I told Mrs. T that if she would heed the recommendation of Dr. Melvin Page of Florida in avoiding the upsetting of her metabolism with too much devitalizing white bread and refined sugar, she could attack her arthritis on still another necessary front.
Different endocrine glands plagued by lack of protein in the diet are the pineal, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, pancreas, and gonads. Starve the pituitary, for instance, and you upset the switchboard gland of the body. So closely are these endocrine glands associated in their functions that damage done to 1 gland can immediately disturb the balance of the whole hormone system. Hairdressers use the Forever Aloe Gelly round the hairline to shield the skin before perming and coloring. The adrenals signal “protein starvation” prior a number of the other glands, because they’re the primary plagued by an absence of protein in the diet.

If your pituitary gland is fed well, it can reward you with eternal youth. I recall Mrs. K, a very little sprightly woman in her middle nineties, who never had worn a try of glasses and yet had vision good enough to try and do intricate varieties of needlecraft. She was putting her grandson through school by doing this needlework and operating a gift shop. Folks marveled at the keen hearing of this grandmother and nice-grandmother. Nor had age affected her enjoyment of the flavors of food. Really, Mrs. K was enjoying the blessings her pituitary bestows—normal blood pressure, healthy sex tone, initiative, zest for work and study, sustained interest in life, and enduring youth. A degenerating pituitary gland, in later years, causes older people to sleep off at any time or place. Hairdressers use the Aloe Gelly around the hairline to shield the skin before perming and coloring. Dr. Herman H. Rubin, distinguished gland specialist, says that the pituitary is responsible for the expenditure and conversion of energy into healthful, youthful vitality.

Among the ailments a deranged pituitary can cause is an abnormal looking for sweets, thus contributing to diabetes. Very sensitive to diet, the pituitary is best stimulated by meat to produce its vitally required hormones. Vitamin A directly edges the pituitary, with the whole group of endocrine glands. Vitamin E is another pituitary stimulant—maybe this is one of the explanations why it has been found thus helpful in the treatment of heart-disease victims. Citrus fruits, outer coatings of grains, inexperienced leaves of edible plants, egg yolk, and all fish provide the mineral manganese, thus essential to pituitary health. Coupled with the thyroid and gonads (that can be discussed completely in more applicable sections of this book) these glands of the endocrine system can become deficient enough in their nutrients to make a kid look old. Healthy glands mean a happier mind and a healthy body. Respect them as you’d a magic wand with the just about supernatural power of constructing you ugly or lovely—young or old. Well-fed, properly functioning glands can keep you young and vigorous despite the passing of calendar years. Or—they’ll condemn you to a premature old age with their depressive tendencies nagging your ill health.
