What is Cushing’s Disease?

Cushing's disease is also known as hyperadrenocorticism and is characterized by the over-production of hormones from the adrenal glands.  The extra high levels of these hormones in your pet’s body can cause varied and serious symptoms. 

What are the adrenal glands?

The adrenal glands are two small, triangular-shaped endocrine glands located on top of the kidneys.  They are orange in color and covered in a connective tissue capsule that is hidden in a layer of fat. These glands are made up of two parts – the adrenal cortex (outside) and the adrenal medulla (inside). The adrenal glands work together with the pituitary gland and hypothalamus in the brain to produce a number of different hormones essential for the overall health and functioning of your dog.

The process commences when the hypothalamus produces corticotrophin hormones which stimulate the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland, in turn also produces ACTH (Adrenocortico-trophic hormone) which then stimulates the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroid hormones. These hormones are key components for your dog’s health and vitality - they are responsible for the functioning of every tissue, organ and gland in the body. Adrenal glands maintain metabolic processes by managing blood sugar levels, regulating inflammation as well the balance of salt and water, and controlling the “fight or flight” response to stress.

Maintaining adrenal balance is therefore key to promoting health in your furry friends

What are the symptoms of Cushing’s Disease?

High levels of corticosteroids in the body can cause a number of health problems in pets including:

Over time, if not well-controlled, Cushing’s can increase your pet's risk of other conditions including diabetes, weakening of the heart and nervous system disease.

What are the main causes of Cushing’s in pets?

There are a couple of possible causes for Cushing's in pets. The first is that your pet may be taking in excess corticosteroids in the form of medications such as Prednisone. If your pet is not taking a drug like Prednisone and has been diagnosed with Cushing’s, it is probably due to a tumor (usually benign) on either of the adrenal glands themselves or on the pituitary gland. 

What is the conventional treatment?

If your pet’s problems are caused by prescription Prednisone, the answer is of course to wean your pet off this medication slowly and under the supervision of a veterinarian. Cushex drops can help facilitate the process of normalizing adrenal function and corticosteroid levels in the body as your pet slowly stops taking the Prednisnone. Cushing’s caused by other factors, such as adrenal or pituitary gland tumors needs a more complex, holistic approach.  In the case of an adrenal gland tumor, the tumor can be removed through surgery but this procedure carries a high risk.  Pituitary tumors are not usually removed but rather treated through symptomatic therapy with drugs that kill part of the adrenal gland in order to normalize corticosteroid production. This treatment needs to be very carefully monitored as killing too much of the adrenals is easy to do and can cause serious health problems including the subsequent UNDER-production of corticosteroids.

The natural way

Herbal and homeopathic remedies can play an important role in supporting the health and balance of your dog’s adrenal glands and a holistic approach is the best way of contributing towards your pet’s general health. Due to the vital importance of adrenal balance, it is not surprising that natural medicine has the answers! After all, organ and systemic support is one of the cornerstones of a holistic approach and the key to natural health care! By supporting adrenal health, the natural approach aims to facilitate well-being across a number of body systems, thereby encouraging wellness and vitality every day!

What are the indredients of Cushex Drops?

Cushex Drops contains the following 100% natural ingredients:

• Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is well-known as a tonic for the liver, kidneys and adrenal glands and will help to support normal adrenal functioning.  Dandelion also contains vitamins and minerals important for hair health and growth and has been studied for its support of anti-oxidation (Hu, C. and Kitts, D. D. “Antioxidant, prooxidant, and cytotoxic activities of solvent-fractionated dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) flower extracts in vitro” J Agric.Food Chem. 1-1-2003;51(1):301-310.)
• Burdock (Arctium lappa) is a cleansing and eliminating herb and is excellent at detoxifying the tissues and supporting waste removal from the body. (Shimizu, J., Yamada, N., Nakamura, K., Takita, T., and Innami, S. “Effects of different types of dietary fiber preparations isolated from bamboo shoots, edible burdock, apple and corn on fecal steroid profiles of rats.” J Nutr Sci Vitaminol.(Tokyo) 1996;42(6):527-539.) Burdock is also traditionally recommended for maintaining blood sugar levels within the normal range and has been investigated for its ability to support health (Lin, C. C., Lu, J. M., Yang, J. J., Chuang, S. C., and Ujiie, T. “Anti-inflammatory and radical scavenge effects of Arctium lappa.” Am J Chin Med 1996;24(2):127-137.)
• Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceous) is an herb which has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for many centuries as a revitalizing tonic. Astragalus is known as an adaptogen and helps to support balance in the adrenal glands. It helps to maintain healthy adrenal cortical function and is important for supporting blood pressure and blood sugar levels within the normal range.  Recent research confirms the positive effect of Astragalus on immune functioning and its role in supporting the functions of the immune system. (Jiao Y, Wen J, Yu X. [Influence of flavonoid of “Astragalus membranaceus's stem and leaves on the function of cell mediated immunity in mice”. Zhongguo Zhong Xi Yi Jie He Za Zhi 1999;19(6):356-358.)
• Arsenicum (30C) is a natural ingredient with a wide range of uses including the maintenance of digestive health and balanced body fluid – thereby supporting normal urination and thirst levels within healthy ranges
• Hepar sulph (30C) is also a natural ingredient and is often recommended when skin health and integrity is the aim.
• Mercurius (30C) is an excellent remedy that is often recommended to soothe common nervous tension and to maintain normal thirst functions.
• Sulphur (30C) will help to support a healthy skin condition and act as a digestive tonic.
