It seems like more vets who are in the Southern
U.S. mention things like second adrenal gland
involvement than ones in areas which get less
sunlight (not only length but intensity of blue
and green wavelengths).
You mentioned in another post that you usually
encounter both adrenals becoming diseased if one
is, but that is very different than what we've seen.
Then again, you and your clients are in Texas while
we are in New Jersey and also try hard to reduce
excess light exposure (as much as we can with them
in a room that has to serve additional functions).
I can't help but wonder how much location may work
with other factors that increase light exposure to
up the risk of a second adrenal becoming involved.
(For those who do not know, the body produces its
own melatonin during darkness. Blue and green
wavelengths are the most disruptive for the body's
melatonin production with blue being the worst.
Amber is the least disruptive wavelength. )
