what are some natural treatment options when the hypothalamus gland is not functioning?

Question

For this type of cancer: parotid gland cancer, high-grade, what are the treatment options?

Answer 1

Not really.: Who diagnosed your hypothalmus as " not functioning." if this were completely true, you would not be asking this question, since the hypothalamus controls pituitary function and hormone secretion. Their are supplements (argine/ornithine) that can bolster hgh secretion by the pituitary, but none have a direct function on the hypothalamus.

Answer 2

HP axis: Hypothalamus-pituitary axis (glands) in the brain produces important hormones that regulates your thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, steroid production. That regulate immune system, blood pressure, sugar level, sex drive, reproduction, menopause, obesity. Please, consult with your physician, endocrinologist. I have many patient with productive life despite having endocrine hormones conditions.

Answer 3

Genetic defects: Genetic defects and chromosomal disorders are the main reason for hypothalamic disorders. Depending on the cause and the location of the lesions, there may be profound develpmental delay and hormonal deficiencies. Many of the pituitary hormones, such as oxytocin, adh, (vasopressin) and CRF will be absent and cause multi-system disorders.

Answer 4

Makes no sense: Hypothalamus is not a disease or condition. It is an anatomic part of the brain. You need it to function. Thus, there is no cure or treatment for a part of the anatomy.

Answer 5

Basic dysfunctions: Specific manifestations can include: alteration of temperature control, blood pressure lability, hormonal disregulation (such as menstrual abnormalities, sleep-wake cycle changes, increased or decreased appetite/weight status. These may be permanent.

Answer 6

Critical area: The hypothalamus is a critical area, depending on the extent of the stroke you can have wide-ranging symptoms from coma to the inability to regulate basic bodily functions (e.g. Temperature). Some of these basic control circuits will be able to find a new stable state with time but not all of them and strokes in this area may have profound and permanent symptoms.

Answer 7

Maybe: There were news media reports in the mid 2000's regarding oxytocin & aspergers. The latest definitive article i found, from mit & published 2010, indicated the lower amounts of oxytocin produced could be implicated in social awkwardness of neuropsychiatric disorders. But did not have a cause & effect relationship. The hypothalamus is the last common neural pathway for social interaction in mammals.
