Surgery adrenal support is essential for protecting your nervous system before and after surgery or dental work, especially if you are sensitive to adrenaline.
How Adrenal Awareness Can Change Your Experience With Surgery and Dental Work
Meet Annabelle. My client. Annabelle struggled with bad teeth and needed dental surgery.
Annabelle is finally feeling the best she has felt in 20 years!!! Medical Medium® protocols worked wonders for her health. Yet, she still struggled with crashes now and then and she asked me what she was missing.
She knew that a dentist visit would make her crash and was really afraid of getting the dental treatment she so badly needed. After talking about her options with me, she came to understand the link between her adrenal health (aka adrenal triggers) and her overall health. This empowered her when visiting the dentist and she was no longer afraid of the medications and drugs administered. This awareness became a powerful form of surgery adrenal support, helping her feel more confident and prepared.
She followed my suggestions and asked for a type of anesthetic during dental work that does not include epinephrine. She said that this simple swap has made a huge difference in how she feels after going to the dentist.

Why Informed Choices Matter During Medical Procedures
Medical interventions have a solid place in the world, and have helped us save many lives – especially in emergency medicine. I believe that if we learn more about what is going into our bodies during a medical procedure, we can better support our bodies. It is critical to make the choice that is truly best for you and to do that, you must make an informed decision i.e. understanding all risks and benefits. This is an essential part of effective surgery adrenal support, especially for sensitive nervous systems.
You have more choices than you think during medical procedures!
When it comes to dental or surgical procedures, most people think the decision is simply whether to have the procedure or not. But when you understand that you have the right to know what drugs are being used on you during a procedure (most of them are part of the basic standard of care offered at a hospital), you will find that you have more choices than you thought. Not all the drugs offered are the best choice for you or even necessary at all under certain circumstances. Ask questions and learn all you can before any procedure and use the guidelines below to advocate for yourself and make a better decision.
What to Discuss With Your Doctor Before Surgery or Dental Work
Here are some tips for anyone who has an upcoming surgery that I have learned from Paula Bennett, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Health Coach, and admin in my membership program, the Intuitive Healing Community. (Thank you Paula for sharing this information with us.)
It is critical to make the choice that is truly best for you. To do that, you must make an informed decision, understanding all risks and benefits. This is an essential part of effective surgery adrenal support, especially for sensitive nervous systems.
Pre-Operative Sedatives and Adrenal Sensitivity
Generally, a pre-op sedative, such as Versed (Midazolam) is ordered. This is a benzodiazepine. Anthony talks about this type of medication in the first Medical Medium® book and it does feed EBV. You can ask to skip it, if you wish, unless you are very nervous.
If you are having a surgery in which there tends to be more blood loss (colon, spine, hip replacement, or any surgery in which they type your blood), consider stopping vitamin C and curcumin 2 weeks before and after the surgery as these supplements can increase bleeding.
Generally, a local anesthetic is injected into the wound after surgery. Ask that they omit the epinephrine (added to decrease bleeding). Carbocaine is the best option, followed by Lidocaine next, and then Bupivacaine. (Carbocaine is best for dental surgery too).
Once you’ve made the decision to have a surgical procedure and you’ve discussed with your surgeon/ anesthesiologist how you want to handle the medications, you’ve made a huge step in minimizing the effects of the surgery as much as possible from a medical point of view. But as we know in the Medical MediumⓇ community, there is so much more you can do to support your health with food, supplements, herbs, and homeopathics.
Supporting Your Adrenals Before and After Surgery
Here are some important pre- and post-op support tips. Here are some important pre- and post-op support tips. The following suggestions are based on Medical Medium® information and are intended to offer gentle, nourishing surgery adrenal support.
Pre-Surgery Adrenal Support
Increase these foods prior to surgery:
- Apricots – boost growth of red and white blood cells
- Pomegranates – strengthen red and white blood cells
- Burdock – enhances white blood cells and killer cells
- Chaga – strengthens white blood cells by increasing production of lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils; strengthens red blood cells and balances blood platelets
- Raw Honey – strengthens neutrophils and macrophages (white blood cells)
- Protect yourself against expected exposures to radiation and toxic heavy metals by doing the radiation and toxic heavy metals exposure brain shots.
- Bring some music and earbuds along so that you can listen to something relaxing prior to going back to surgery – Think: Keep your adrenals calm! Meditation can also help with this.
The best way to prepare your body for surgery is to eat as clean as possible in the days and weeks leading up to it. Think lots and lots of wild blueberries! After surgery you want to flush out the toxins with life-giving fluids and focus on heavy metal detox.
Post-Surgery Adrenal Support and Recovery
- Arnica homeopathy is very helpful for pain. Use Arnica 200 c every 15 minutes on the day of surgery for an hour. Then every 2 hours for the rest of the day. Monitor how the pain feels. The day after surgery take 3 – 4 doses (a dose is 2 – 3 pellets). This is a general guideline. If you need specific support, contact a homeopath or a practitioner who is familiar with your history.
- B12 shock therapy is really helpful on the day of surgery to protect the nerves from the adrenaline of surgery.
- A combination of Magnesium Glycinate, Magnesium L-Threonate, Curcumin, and Nettle Leaf is also helpful for pain.
- Take comfort in knowing that anesthesia is much safer now than it was in past years.
- Bring in the Medical Medium® exposure shots: Radiation exposure shot, Toxic heavy metal exposure shot, and Toxic Fragrances exposure shot.
- To protect against the adrenaline exposure from surgery doing the adrenaline fight or flight stabilizer shot is also highly recommended.
It is important to stand behind any decision that you make and embrace it, because you don’t want to allow worry and stress to lead to additional toxic adrenaline in your body. You are empowered by this information and can take the proper steps to protect you and your adrenals.
