I know I know I know you don’t have to tell me I shouldn’t be going to bars picking fights with people I know but you should have saw the other guy no I did not get punched this is poison ivy I get it four times a year I just said a dream last night I was dreaming like wow I didn’t get poison ivy this year then I wake up with this it sucks CU I have to do videos and I do videos every day and but I just decided you know what I’m just going to do a video anyway and I’ll I’ll talk a little bit about what happened to me with uh years of prazone and uh also we’ll talk about cortisol as it relates to stress and is it possible that you could end up with the side effects from pregant Zone by going through chronic stress we’re going to talk about that this is hideous maybe I should talk to you like this it’s a little bit no that’s not even I I can’t even look at this I’m just going to wear these I don’t even want to want you to look at it looks disgusting but this looks better so let’s talk about prazone in cortisol but let me just tell you a quick story about what happened to me in my 20s I was gardening and somehow there was some poison I in there and I got exposed to it and I reacted really bad go to the doctor take the prazone it goes away next year same thing happens this went on for like probably 10 years in a row until the point where my poison ivy reactions on my skin didn’t go away so I couldn’t use prazone anymore and I know from that prazone it created a lot of problems with my body which I’m going to talk about but it’s pretty scary if you have some type of severe inflammatory skin reaction or other reactions and you need something to help and prazone doesn’t work what do you do but a very unfortunately it’s I have not figured this poison ivy out in fact I don’t even have to touch poison ivy I could get close to it I could get maybe a few feet away from it and all of a sudden I’ll start getting reactions so it must be in my nervous system because these similar patterns of poison ivy itching start to pop out in certain places rarely on my face but this time it was on my eye which really sucks because now I have to wait for like two weeks before it goes away so why do people take prazone mainly for an anti-inflammatory or some type of immune supressant effect so they give it to people with autoimmune diseases arthritis injuries and even uh if you have an organ transplant it’s part of the immune suppressive effects because the immune system will start attacking the new organ that was put in you now the problem with this prazone it comes with a package it gives you side effects if you take higher doses I think like 80 milligrams you could start getting a moon face but I think a lot of people have a subclinical version of this not even taking prazone just by high levels of cortisol and they start developing somewhat of a round moon face in fact I had it when I was under a lot of carbs there is a big association between a condition called Cushing syndrome where you have this high level cortisol uh and uh also Diabetes Type 2 metabolic syndrome polycystic ovarian syndrome things like that a lot of things that are unknown but just realize that prazone is a synthetic version of cortisol and cortisol um is a hormone in the adrenal glands that actually helps your immune system it does a lot It prepares the body for stress situations so to better understand this I’ll show you in this medical book right here okay right here a condition called pushings syndrome which the person has high levels of cortisol and the fat is redistributed to their face their belly and like on the top of their shoulders like a hunchback they get a fat pad there and the body is literally taking protein from certain places and turning that into sugar and converting into fat from the thighs the butt so you lose your butt you lose your legs and it goes right to the belly and there’s a lot of problems because you get rosacea spider veins osteoporosis you lose potassium calcium magnesium you also deplete or block vitamin D’s effect so you don’t get the vitamin D effect which is interesting allergies asthma immune suppression so you’re more susceptible to viruses heartburn as well as diabetes because the body is turning its own self protein into sugar at a massive level so you can end up with diabetes so that was Cushing syndrome but I think there is a subclinical situation going around with people because you don’t just end up with that overnight it’s kind of a gradual slow process with this high level of cortisol over period of time so you might have some of those symptoms because of stress now if you look at the cause of Cushing syndrome um you know they talk about genetics they talk about a tumor on the adrenal gland or maybe a tumor on your pituitary gland which by the way if you have a tumor on the pituitary gland um you’ll have also like a hyperpigmentation your skin will be darker but also Cushing syndrome can occur with animals you know they can have tumors and they can create these problems but here’s the thing prazone can also create Cush syndrome and all of those effects so pregnazon comes with a package you’re 10 times more likely to get high blood glucose diabetes you get heart problems arhythmia problems palpitation even Strokes psychosis you can have all sorts of mental side effects you become highly irritable usually with the lower doses but then when you get higher doses you can get depression you crave sugar in salt and you retain fluids which makes sense from several things but um you know you have to realize if you’re getting this adrenal stimulation it’s not just cortisol that’s being affected you have other hormones in the adrenals that control your fluid balance as well but realize that cortisol itself is a glucocorticoid so basically cortisol can affect glucose in a big way it gets your body to run on glucose it messes up glucose metabolism so you can’t deal with glucose or sugar very well anymore this is why stress is one of the big causes of insulin resistance and so does prazone cause the side effect of insulin resistance in diabetes so it’s interesting because a lot of the effects of sugar are similar to the effects of stress this is why you can get off sugar but go through stress and your body will start to uh act like you’re eating sugar a couple things you need to know about prazone is that once you start taking it you don’t want to come off of it too fast get with your doctor to make sure you do it gradually because you can have more side effects because when you take a prosome uh the body now depends on that and it stops producing its own cortisol and so if you come off of it too quickly and the adrenals can’t produce that I mean you can imagine the side effects um because it just doesn’t bounce back right away for everyone and then sometimes people come off of it and now they get those symptoms that come right back so that’s really the Catch 22 with this prazone is that okay it gets rid of your inflammatory conditions and your symptoms but then you’re going to come off what’s going to keep them gone you really can’t be on this prazone forever and the more you take it the more it weakens the system but if you don’t take it you have the symptoms come back so it’s really a situation also if you’re on a prazone realize that uh it depletes a lot of nutrients calcium magnesium potassium zinc B vitamins vitamin C chromium um there’s a really great pharmacist who uh basically has a whole Channel about prazone I’m going to put that link down below she has some great information but the point is that prazone and cortisol deplete you of nutrients so if someone is on prazone they should also be taking these nutrients and also especially as they come off prazone and that way they’ll have less complications hopefully so whether you’re on prazone or whether you’re going
