PancreasSYSTEM: Digestive (Exocrine) and Glandular (Endocrine) CATEGORY: Gland and Organ NUMBER: One SHAPE: Flat, hammer shaped (see page Pancreas-title page) SIZE: 5 inches in length, 2 inches in width. LOCATION: Stretches across upper abdomen right behind the stomach and touching the spleen. FUNCTION: Manufactures enzymes to aid in digestion (that is why it is part of the exocrine system - organ). Produces the hormone insulin (that is why it is part of the endocrine systems - gland) to regulate blood sugar levels in the bloodstream. KINESIOLOGY : Test point is 2 to 3 inches above the naval slightly to the left 2 inches (see page Pancreas -5) IRIDOLOGY: Although the bulk of the pancreas lies in the left side of the body it shows up in the right eye only 7:10 and must be touching the autonomic nerve wreath. (see page Pancreas-6). Also look for orange coloration on the iris. {I personally believe that it will be proved that the pancreas is shown in both eyes.} REFLEXOLOGY: Right foot above instep 2 inches below second toe from pinky. Left foot above instep 1 inch below pinky. (See page Pancreas-7) HELPS TO IMPROVE FUNCTION: High fiber diet, small frequent meals, proteins that are easily digested like nuts, beans, seeds, sprouts, whole grains, and a lot of raw vegetables. DETRIMENTAL TO ITS HEALTH: Preservatives, milk products, animal proteins, excessive alcohol, coffee, tea, unbalanced diet, sugar, bleached flour, denatured (processed) foods and stress POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS/HEALTH CONDITIONS: Zollinger-Ellison's syndrome - Tumor of the pancreas Pancreatitis - Inflammation of pancreas - pain in the upper abdomen, gassiness, nausea, and indigestion. HYPERACTIVITY (OVERACTIVE) Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The pancreas is in a hyper state causing too much production of insulin which makes the sugar level low or hypo. Intense hunger, confusion, grouchiness, fainting, shaky, weak or headaches if meals are skipped. HYPOACTIVE (UNDERACTIVE) Diabetes - The pancreas does not keep up with the level of sugar in the system. Either because it is not being stimulated to produce insulin from the adrenals, can't keep up with the amount that is released by the liver or is not able to produce insulin. MAIN MINERALS: Chromium (not chelated to anything but niacin or ninolenic acid), zinc (prolongs the effect of insulin), iron, calcium, copper, chlorine, silicon, magnesium, and potassium. MAIN VITAMINS: B-complex with extra B-1 and B-12
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Many doctors prescribe a high protein diet for hypoglycemic's This only gives temporary relief and will eventually weaken the pancreas and can cause severe problems, especially when ingesting animal proteins. Light protein for breakfast does, however, help smooth out the hypoglycemic's energy highs and lows. Hypoglycemic's and diabetics should avoid large meals. They should eat 6-8 small meals a day. Hypoglycemic's and pregnant women should avoid goldenseal because it lowers blood sugar. Diabetics should avoid straight licorice root because it raises blood sugar. Licorice root can raise blood pressure. Parasites can also be a factor in pancreatic problems. Ideal sugar level should be 80-90.
Sugar level is achieved by cooperative functions of the liver, pancreas and adrenals. The adrenal glands stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin and the liver to release stored sugar. Any weakness in this team can cause diabetes.
