The Posterior Pituitary
This endocrine gland secretes two hormones oxytocin and vasopressin. It can be under active over active or normal. You definitely want it to be normal. Your gene inheritance determines what it will be but dietary factors can definitely make it worse. Opposites attract and it works this way with the glands. Usually an over active anterior pituitary type will be attracted to a hypo anterior pituitary type. However, I find that often two hypo post pits can be attracted so the offspring could get a double dose of posterior pituitary deficiency so his or her problems can be twice as bad as any of the parents. It’s no one’s fault it just happens. However, the effect should be detected, measured and treated. It usually is not. The usual method to deal with endocrine glands is with a sledgehammer with dosages that are much too large. In fact a lighter more delicate touch is required both to detect excesses or deficiencies and small micro doses are required for treatment. They will create miracles.

Dr Melvin Page DDS developed a system to assess the activity of this gland. I studied with him in1971 and learned his methods. He used anthropometrics, blood chemistries and specific gravity determinations. Anthropometrics are 95-98% accurate and give a reliable determination of what is happening with this gland. Standard blood chemistry analysis believe it or not is not accurate enough. Only slight variations in this important gland can create havoc. It’s vitally important that it is assessed accurately. When I studied with Dr. Page we spent a whole day just measuring. It was that important to him.

Posterior pituitary deficiency can be observed by certain external clues, exadurated curvature of the lower leg half-way between the ankle and knee, double hip curve or saddle bags in women, double chin, bald spot at the crown of the head if you have the baldness gene, pot belly, facial hair on the upper lip in women. These are enough clues that you can determine posterior pituitary deficiency in most individuals. Anthropometric measuring will always give you the correct results. People tell me that they have had their pituitary evaluated and it’s ok. They were evaluated incorrectly. Anthropomentrics has to be used and followed up with blood tests to know exactly what’s up.
Remember, you don’t want to have any underactive or over active glands, you want balance. We will deal with under activity first, then overctivity Each function can create its own set of problems.

The posterior pituitary gland can exist in all degrees of subfunction from mild to severe.

If you write several paragraphs in cursive the word spacing should be similar to a typewritten page. If you turn the paper such that it is vertical see if water will pass through the words. If it won’t get freely to the bottom of the page you are too tight and may be greedy. If water passes too freely you may let too many things slip through your fingers. Your hand should be straight out with the fingers together but not curled up in a position of greed. This was told to me by a famous therapist.

Excessive Facial Hair
Excessive facial hair in women is a sure sign of posterior pituitary deficiency. This is because the posterior pituitary gland opposes the adrenal cortex. The adrenal cortex puts out aldosterone which makes secondary sex characteristics such as facial hair. It also causes essential hypertension for which there is no known cause. Some newer blood pressure meds such a s Spiranolactone are aldosterone inhibitors. It’s simpler with no side effects to just take posterior pituitary, plus you correct other things in the process.

Type 2 diabetes
You first have to know how you get type 2 diabetes. Most physicians don’t know. All endocrine glands have opposing glands. Page established that the posterior pituitary gland is opposed by the adrenal cortex. ( You can take that to the bank). If the posterior pituitary gland underfunctions (and it does in 88% of women, then the adrenal cortex will over function and raise blood sugar. That is what causes type 2 diabetes..period. So how do you treat it – add posterior pituitary. Sometimes you can have a combination of glandular problems and the anterior pituitary over functions. This will raise blood sugar also. The sex hormones suppress the over active anterior pituitary and will lower blood sugar. Have we used insulin yet ?– no. Insulin is used only last and may not be needed at all. If you have type 2 diabetes paste this on the wall.

Bipolar No More
I learned about bipolar from Kay Jaimison PhD a brilliant writer and bipolar herself. Some of her books are An Unquiet Mind and Touched with Fire. I learned how to treat bipolar from Dr. Page a genius in his own right. When I studied with Dr. Page nothing was mentioned about bipolar but I noticed his second wife was a little manic. Later I learned that he invented a new supplement for his wife. It was 3p100 a dosage that we weren’t using much. Then he came out with his classic article on the Posterior Pituitary Gland which I put in my book A Magic Bullet Cure For Depression and Manic Depression.
I consider posterior pituitary a flat out cure for bipolar. It’s helped me, my family and hundreds of dental patients. There is no dulling of mental abilities, there are no side effects, and you can have modulated creativity. I’m creating all the time. It has positive side effects on high blood pressure, bone loss, type 2 diabetes, tooth decay rates, periodontal disease, panic attacks, acne, fertility problems and more.
Dietary factors can definitely weaken this gland. This is clearly indicated with lower urine specific gravity readings. These factors would be sugar, alcohol, fructose sugar in juices, caffeine. Supplementation is crucial but Page used to say, “TDIE”, the diet is everything.

POST HOLIDAY BLUES
Posterior pituitary deficiency will always give you the blues or worse. Sugar, even fructose or fruit sugar especially from juices, and alcohol will wipe out this gland. This causes the frequency of urination that you get when you drink alcohol because the alcohol wipes out the antidiuretic hormone that comes from the posterior pituitary gland. Last night I had two beers. I don’t usually drink. I will take extra posterior pituitary supplement for two days afterwards.

The Killer Within
(How lack of attention to a single gland can kill you or cause you to kill.)

The killer gland is the pituitary gland which is also called the master gland . It has an anterior portion and a posterior portion. Each part has different effects. It is seldom evaluated by modern medicine unless there are problems such as acromegaly, dwarfism or giantism. Sometimes tumors can be involved here and it may be evaluated in some fertility problems in women. However there can be many other problems involved with this gland that are never evaluated. Individuals can go for years and years and never know what is wrong with them or tragic events can occur in their lives and no one has a clue why.

I fault the modern healthcare system that has never heard of Page anthropometrics which is seldom used. They don’t even know of pituitary problems which can reek havoc both to the individual that has the problem or to individual victims.

If you take the time and effort to study Page Body Chemistry Balancing your efforts will be like little miracles for most of your patients. You will gain a completely new perspective on dentistry, you will learn how glands color and shape personality, you will see how glands affect degenerative diseases, you will have an overview of health that you never had before, you will see how many patients because of their glandular pattern are on the slippery slope, some you will change, most you will not, and you will see how allopathic medicine is often great for emergency and crisis care but lousy and sometimes lethal for prevention.

The Thyroid Mess
Most thyroid supplementation today involves using synthroid which is a synthetic version and is only T3. Page never used that. He always used natural thyroid and at much smaller dosages 1/50 grain. Thyroid function tests are not that easy to work with plus modern medicine seldom considers the anterior pituitary gland in hypothyroidism which is usually underactive also. The calcium /phosphorous ratio is much more accurate when adjusting the thyroid. If the anterior pituitary is weak I always correct that first and then check thyroid hormones last. The anterior pituitary puts out TSH which is thyroid stimulating hormone. Once the anterior pituitary is corrected thyroid may not be needed at all.
In cases of over active thyroid, Page used micro amounts of insulin for about 30 or more days. The dosage would be about two units of long acting u100 insulin daily which is about two drops. Insulin opposes the thyroid and also an over active anterior pituitary gland. The results can be miraculous. I also use it for colds, cold sores, and other cases where infection is involved. It’s much easier to use these days because the insulin comes in pens, you dial up the dosage and inject. I call it painless. If you refrigerate it it lasts a year.

MiGRAINE HEADACHES
The exact cause of migraine headaches is unknown. There may be an allergy factor involved. I used to get them but no more. Some people get them monthly or even more frequently than that. They can be quite incapacitating and can put you out of action for a couple of days. I find that most who get migraines are hypo post pit.I was still getting them when I was on a lower dosage of post pit. When I increased the dosage to a higher amount using a different measuring system they disappeared, never to return and this has been over thirty years ago.

If you get them measure yourself or come to the office and be measured and you will know if you are a candidate for glandular supplementation.
Since modern medicine doesn’t treat this deficiency this is probably an important factor that is being missed.
