something to do with kidneys? or am i off...i think i must be bc i dont understand what this would have to do with the problem
the adrenal glands are near the kidneys yes. they secrete steroidal hormones that are responsible for the fight or flight response. once someone gets all worked up, calming that system down would help them.
just to jog your memory...think back to your 6th grade class trip when they packed that poor boys ritalin under the bus.
