This sound file contains the balancing frequencies related to Cushing’s disease and PPID and the involved body parts, emotions, chakras, meridians and symptoms.
In Cushing’s disease in humans and dogs, tumor growth is the cause of pituitary gland dysfunction. In horses, it is about degeneration of the nerve fibers that run to the pituitary gland and regulate hormone production.
In horses, this condition is now referred to as PPID (Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction). The difference with Cushing’s disease is that there is no tumor. PPID in horses involves degeneration of nerve fibers in the pituitary gland, which causes the hormonal disruption. Pars intermedia: is part of the tissue located between the anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary gland. Its primary function is to produce and secrete a number of hormones including ACTH. With PPID, the pars intermedia is growing bigger and bigger. This swelling can put pressure on the surrounding areas of the pituitary gland, reducing its functions. Older horses in particular get PPID, although it is also increasingly common in younger horses. Signs and symptoms of PPID in the horse may include laminitis, insulin resistance, fat accumulation in the dimples above the eyes, a bulging potbelly, coat changes (curling and difficulty getting through the coat), lethargy, excessive drinking and urination, sweating at abnormal places, reduced resistance, poor wound healing and sometimes even epilepsy due to enlargement of the pituitary gland. We often see that it starts with insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome that later progresses to PPID. The symptoms of Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) are similar to those of PPID.
Dogs with Cushing’s disease drink and urinate excessively and have extreme hunger to true gluttony. They can suffer from a thin coat or even baldness. In addition, physical condition and muscles decrease, they pant more and become lethargic. Hormonal problems can also arise, such as the absence of a heat cycle. Cushing’s disease is most common in older dogs, especially small breeds. The cause is in most cases (85%) a benign tumor in the pituitary gland. This causes too much ACTH to be produced, which then causes the adrenal glands to produce too much cortisol. In a small number of cases (15%), it is a malignant tumor in the adrenal gland that causes increased production of cortisol.
In cats, the symptoms are largely the same as in dogs, but weight loss is common in cats, despite the increased appetite. Hair loss evenly on both sides of the body and skin infections also occur in cats. Diabetes is also seen in cats in 80% of cases.
Relationship between Parkinson’s disease, insulin resistance and Cushing’s
The degeneration of nerve fibers in PPID is similar to the process in human Parkinson’s disease. Studies have shown that pesticides and insecticides (especially those based on chlorine and phosphate) in water and food significantly increase the risk of getting Parkinson’s disease. This could also play a role in horses (Publication BMC Journal 2008). Veterinarians who also work with the Lecher antenna often see insulin resistance and a poor microbiome as a co-cause of the development of PPID in horses.
