 In response, the pituitary gland secretes thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), as seen in Figure 13-1. This thyroid-stimulating hormone tells the thyroid gland to take more iodide from the blood. The thyroid-stimulating hormone also stimulates the thyroid gland to produce and release more thyroxine and small amounts of the active thyroid hormone T3.
When levels of thyroxine are adequate, the pituitary gland secretes less of the thyroid-stimulating hormone. When levels of thyroxine start falling, the pituitary gland secretes more of the thyroid-stimulating hormone. |

 Unfortunately, it's very easy to disrupt that process. The pituitary gland gets its information from the optic nerve—when the optic nerve senses sunlight, it signals the pituitary gland to kick-start the melanocytes. Guess what happens when you're wearing sunglasses? Much less sunlight reaches the optic nerve, much less warning is sent to the pituitary gland, much less melanocyte-stimulating hormone is released, much less melanin is produced—and much more sunburn results. If you're reading this on the beach with your Ray-Bans on, do your skin a favor—take them off. |

| Under natural circumstances, almost as soon as you are exposed to the sun, your pituitary gland produces hormones that act as boosters for your melanocytes, and your melanocytes start producing melanin on overdrive. Unfortunately, it's very easy to disrupt that process.

| When thyroid hormones are needed, the hypothalamus secretes a hormone (thyrotropin-releasing hormone) that targets the pituitary gland. In response, the pituitary gland secretes thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), as seen in Figure 13-1. This thyroid-stimulating hormone tells the thyroid gland to take more iodide from the blood. The thyroid-stimulating hormone also stimulates the thyroid gland to produce and release more thyroxine and small amounts of the active thyroid hormone T3.

 PITUITARY PAUSE
The pituitary pause affects the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. The secretion of growth hormone declines between the ages of thirty and fifty, causing muscles to shrink and fat to increase. Other symptoms include anorexia, compulsive water drinking, sleep rhythm reversal, rage behavior, hallucinations, and obesity. Keeping the brain youthful and more energetic by boosting acetylcholine and dopamine might contribute to slowing this genetically programmed hormonal loss.
SENSORY PAUSE
Sensory pause affects all five of your senses. |

 This includes the cells of the pituitary gland. The pituitary acts like the conductor of an orchestra, coordinating the activities of glands that release hormones responsible for triggering development of everything from the nervous system to the brain to the testes. Hormones are the body's biochemical messengers between the cells, Fed Ex packets of neurological information for turning on, or turning off, the production of specific physiological, psychological, and sexual characteristics. In the testes that includes testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. |

 These messengers prompt the pituitary gland to activate another part of the adrenal gland, which releases the second major hormone of the stress response: Cortisol. This relay from the hypothalamus to the pituitary to the adrenal gland is known as the HPA axis, and its role in summoning Cortisol and in turning off the response makes it a key player in the story of stress. Meanwhile, the amygdala has signaled the hippocampus to start recording memories and another dispatch has been sent to the prefrontal cortex, which decides whether the threat truly merits a response. |

 It works in harmony with the pituitary and hypothalamus to control the body's hormonal systems and 24-hour rhythms. The pineal gland is sensitive to different levels of light, produces melatonin, and governs our sleep-wake cycle. As such, it is the body's internal clock, and is sometimes referred to as the "third eye". It is also responsible for directing the body's signals for thirst, hunger, sexual desire, and biological aging.
Hypothalamus

 In response to threats from the external environment, the pituitary gland sends a signal to the adrenal glands, informing them of the need to coordinate the body's "fight or flight" response.
The technical details of how stress stimuli engage the HPA axis follow a simple cascade: In response to perceptions of stress registered in the brain, the hypothalamus secretes a corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), which travels to the pituitary gland. CRF activates special pituitary hormone-secreting cells causing them to release adrenocorticotropic hormones (ACTH) into the blood. |

 Some people place the pituitary here, but because this chakra is associated with light and the pineal gland controls light in the body, I believe that this is its proper placement.
The seventh chakra is the crown, and it sits on the top of the head and has a purple or violet color. It corresponds with the nervous system and brain function, with integrity and wisdom as its pervading qualities. The endocrine gland associated with this chakra is the pituitary. |

 Barnett, "is needed by the pituitary gland. The pituitary, sometimes called the miracle gland, takes instructions from the hypothalamus in the brain to which it is connected by a thin stalk, then transmits them through the body in the form of chemical messengers known as hormones. These hormones not only exert a direct influence of their own, but also trigger the production of other vital hormones elsewhere in the body. |

 The test assesses the quantity of T4 and T3 hormones and determines how well the body's cells respond to the hormones by measuring the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), a chemical released by the pituitary gland. High levels of TSH indicate that the cells of the body are not receiving adequate thyroid hormone. As a result, the pituitary goes into overdrive, frantically trying to signal the thyroid to step up its hormone output. |

| Anti-Aging Supplements
Many companies have jumped on the anti-aging bandwagon after it was discovered that the pituitary gland can actually be fed the necessary precursors that allow it to increase its natural production of hgh. If you decide to look into this mode of supplementation, be sure the product you select is made entirely from natural ingredients. Basically, you need to look for a supplement that will feed the body, not stimulate it. |

| How that happens is not yet clear, but what is clear is that when DEHP enters the pituitary, LH levels drop, and a cascade of effects follows. Lower levels of LH traveling to the testes mean less stimulation to the Leydig cells, and testosterone levels plummet. Sexual malformations may follow.
This description of DEHP's effects on the developing male infant is drawn from research by, and interviews with, two of America's leading scientists on the physiological effects of chemical exposure: Dr. |

Another report, presented to the Third International Soy Symposium by Dr. Lon White, revealed findings from a study of Japanese Americans residing in Hawaii. The study showed: a significant statistical relationship between two or more servings of tofu a week and "accelerated brain aging." Those participants who consumed tofu in midlife had lower cognitive function in late life and a greater incidence of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. |
| Hypothalamus
The hypothalamus gland is situated just above the pituitary gland. It is considered to be the seat of our emotions and the control center for the involuntary or autonomic nervous system, which functions night and day, governing all vital processes in the body.
Thyroid
The thyroid gland consists of two conjoined lobes each about 1V2 inches (4 cm) long and % inch (1.9 cm) wide, situated just below the Adam's apple—one lobe on either side of the trachea or windpipe. |

 Through the endocrine system, Energetic Integrator 9 bioenergetically affects the entire thyroid gland, adrenal medulla, and serotonin production in the pituitary gland. It has widely distributed correlations to specific parts of the brain, heart, and the mucosae of the body, as reviewed in the following lists. |
| It also correlates bioenergetically with detoxification of the organs within the three cavities and the restoration of proper function, especially to the pituitary, thalamus, thymus, heart, suprarenal glands, digestive glands, and gonads. The thyroid and parathyroid, which lie at the border of the cranial and thoracic cavities, also benefit from the restoration of the proper functioning of these two cavities.
As you might imagine, mental function is deeply connected to how efficiently your body stores and uses Source energy. |

| They perceive threats via the hypothalamus, which sends a message to the master gland, the pituitary, which then signals the adrenal glands to release the stress hormone adrenaline. Adrenaline initiates a fight or flight response. In the interest of survival, this diverts blood flow from the internal organs and brain to the muscles. We speed up and move to a state of high tension. Digestion and internal nourishment, plus intelligent thinking, take a back seat to brute strength. During this time our immune system is suppressed. |

| It matches bioenergetically with the other major endocrine glands (specifically, the posterior and medial sections of the pituitary) and the adrenal medulla, but it also links to the mitral valve and right atrium of the heart (but not with other parts of the heart). It regulates information exchange to most of the mucosae (mucous membranes) of the body and to the lateral ventricles of the brain. It is associated bioenergetically with specific elements, such as iodine and selenium, and is intimately related to the energetic/informational aspects of the calcium-sodium relationship in the body. |
| Some neurocardiology researchers claim the heart can communicate via these neurochemicals with the brain, immune system, pineal gland, thalamus, and pituitary gland, concluding that the heart has the capability to function as a center of emotion, learning, and memory.
Because the Imprinter Driver field is linked to body-wide communication via the signals transmitted from your heart through your blood circulation, it is connected to an overall feeling of well-being on an emotional level as well as a physical level. |

Energetic Terrain 7 has a wide bioenergetic reach, encompassing the encephalon of the brain, the central nervous system, pituitary gland, thyroid, pancreas, small intestine, and liver. The Flaviviridae viral family bioenergetically links to this Terrain, which means it may be implicated in CFS. It is a particularly difficult Terrain to correct, so it may take time, and your immune system may have to be bolstered by first using other NES Infoceuticals. |

 Today, it is well demonstrated that MSG interferes with the endocrine system:
There is a long history of endocrine, particularly pituitary and hypothalamic, effects produced by MSG in experimental animals. One review in 1998 shows alterations in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal cortical function with likely genetic effects. The association with thyroid abnormalities, fertility and obesity problems, cortisone abnormalities, and other glandular functions has been suggested by many studies. Long-term human analysis will be necessary to confirm animal effects in humans. |
