![]() The two systems are mutually interconnected.Įndocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their hormones into the bloodstream. A common way to look at the difference between the two is that the nervous system causes short-term responses, and the endocrine system is responsible for the body’s longer-term responses. Hormones have to make their way from the gland that produces them into the bloodstream and eventually into the organ or cells where the hormones will take effect. ![]() Nerve impulses execute their effect immediately, but those effects are generally short-lived. The endocrine system does this through chemicals, while the nervous system does this through electrical nerve impulses. Hormones, much like the nervous system, tell the body what to do, and when. The glands of the endocrine secrete hormones directly into the spaces surrounding their cells where the bloodstream picks them up and circulates them throughout the body, ultimately reaching the organ or cells designed to respond to the particular hormone. The endocrine system is the collection of glands and glandular organs that produce hormones to regulate metabolism, tissue function, growth and development (which includes repair), sexual function, reproduction, sleep, mood, the immune system, and more. A look at the endocrine system will explain why. Even if the problem is originating within an organ or another part of the body, if you don’t feel well, your endocrine system doesn’t feel well. How do you know if your endocrine system needs help? As mentioned earlier, if you’re not feeling well, your endocrine system is taxed. For many people, their endocrine system, or one or more of the glands within, are so dysfunctional that autoimmune disease is just around the corner. Picture a car engine with a blown head gasket (or the wrong gas, or whatever makes sense to you). When the body is overwhelmed with toxins, parts of the body will become so dysfunctional that simply functioning produces more toxins than the body can properly evacuate. On the other hand, sometimes a specific gland, organ, or an entire system (and it’s often a combination) within the body becomes so depleted, infected, and toxic, the body needs targeted assistance. For most people this can be done with diet alone. If you rebuild the cells, the body works properly. How sickness manifests itself depends on which cells are failing. As Raymond Francis taught us, there is only one disease, and that’s cell malfunction, which has two causes: nutrient deficiencies and toxicity. This is always the goal with achieving or retaining good health. In other words, the goal is to rebuild the body’s cells. ![]() The holistic approach to ridding the body of disease is all about achieving homeostasis of the body through proper diet, elimination of toxins, and targeting specific,underlying issues through supplementation to reduce the most prevalent symptoms and aid healing.
