Class 19 is the hats on the kidneys. Course 17 named the clock at the top of the head. Course 18 named the neck. This hour sits two triangular glands, three to four inches, at T12. Cortex outside, medulla inside. Steroid from cholesterol in the outer house. Catecholamines from tyrosine in the inner. Essential for life. Permission first. Ask whether you are all alone in the auric field. If not, tracing waits. Chart 1-1 still orders the work. Adrenal fatigue as a diagnosis does not stand.
