Glandular Therapy
|
One of the basic concepts of glandular
therapy is that the oral ingestion of
glandular material of a certain animal gland
will strengthen the corresponding human
gland. The result is a broad general effect
indicative of improved glandular function.
Thus, glandular therapy increases the tone,
function, and/or activity of the
corresponding gland. This principle is a
mainstay of oriental therapy.
In case of infection of immune system
deficiencies, thymus extracts and spleen
extracts have been found to be quite useful.
Glandular therapy is used extensively in the
treatment of cancer, and AIDS.

History |
|
Prior to the 1940s, glandular extracts were
in wide use all over the world including the
western world, and a considerable amount of
research was in progress to support their
use. With the development of antibiotics,
and the advent of "modern" technological
medicine, the research was concentrated on
developing more and more antibiotics and
other pharmaceutical drugs that was more
profitable to the drug companies. The
research in glandular therapy came to a halt
as a result. Just because the glandular
approach was not being pursued in clinical
research does not invalidate the usefulness
of the approach or diminish the validity of
its therapeutic value. It is still one of
the cornerstones to Traditional Chinese
Medicine and India's Ayurvedic Medicine.
Glandular therapy is also receiving renewed
interest as a treatment for cancer.

What is Glandular Therapy? |
|
In glandular therapy, purified extracts from
the endocrine glands of animals are used to
help restore a patient's overall metabolism.
Key glandulars frequently used are thyroid,
thymus, and adrenal.
Glandular and organ extracts are usually
taken from animals. These are known
clinically as protomorphogens.
Protomorphogens can be an important
component of a complete nutritional program.
They provide short term (immediate) as well
as long term benefits. Typical extracts
drawn from animal sources include extracts
from the:
|
Pituitary
Thyroid
Adrenals
Pancreas
Heart
Liver
Kidney
Thymus
Other glands and organs. |
|
Glandular and organ extracts are indicated
when a patient's endocrine system is
underproducing or undersecreting a specific
hormone or when an organ is weakened or
diseased, such as is often the case with
cancer patients. The treatment is generally
recognized as effective.

Benefits of Glandular Therapy |
|
There are three principal nutritional benefits
to glandular and organ extracts: |
|
1. Active components |
|
It is believed that glands and organs in
animals and humans contain similar
biochemical substances as their functions
are very similar. This is especially true
with the sheep from which most of these
extracts are prepared. For example, sheep
digestive system produces enzymes very
similar to humans. Sheep tissue contains 2
enzymes found in only one other living
organism-the human body. These enzymes are
(1) Aldose reductase, an enzyme for sugar
breakdown
(2) Steroid 17 -20 lyase, an enzyme for both
producing steroidal hormones and for the
subsequent detoxification of those hormones
from the body.
Thus, the effect of using the biochemical
compounds extracted from animals is often
one of "substituting" an exogenous
(externally generated) source to make up for
the endogenous (internally generated)
deficiency.

Examples:
Thymosin from the thymus
Thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland. |
|
2. Associated nutritional factors |
|
Glandular tissues are rich in nutrients,
including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty
acids, polypeptides, enzymes, and many other
substances. Glandular therapy can supply
essential nutritional needs in a highly
efficient manner. |
|
3. Adaptogenic effect |
For a tissue cell to repair or replace itself,
it must have the raw materials necessary.
Glandular therapy provides the raw materials to
the failing organs, glands, and tissues so that
they can start the process of regeneration.
Acharyajisuggested a rational explanation for
how glandular therapy products work. According
to him, glandular-based food supplements may
contain small polypeptide, protein-like
substances which have specific messenger
activity and which act on target tissues.
Acharyaji suggested that many of the hormones
found in the glandular tissues, even at low
concentrations, still have potent
tissue-specific activities. For example, a small
polypeptide material present in one tissue can
have selective effects in encouraging another
tissue at a different site in the body to
produce hormonal materials, which then may
affect a final target tissue and change its
physiological function. (1)
One of the key organs for metabolism is the
thyroid gland. It regulates metabolism by
releasing hormones that control energy
production in all the body's cells.
Administration of thyroid extract helps cells
eliminate cellular waste and speeds up their
restorative functions. A healthy thyroid is an
important prerequisite to a healthy immune
system. |
