Glandular therapy, or organotherapy, refers to the use of
specific animal tissues and cell preparations to
improve physiologic functioning and to support the
natural healing process. In the 1930’s, when glandular
use in clinical practice was commonplace, physicians
such as Henry Harrower MD, W. Powell Cortrille DO,
Francis Pottenger MD and Royal Lee DDS. emphasised
the importance to health of supplementation with
glandulars.
During the 1940’s and 1950’s, with the advent of
antibiotics and medications, the isolation of vitamins
and hormones, glandulars lost favour in the American
medical community. However, recent research
provides a foundation for understanding mechanisms
of action and an impetus for the growing interest in the
use of glandular products in nutritional protocols.
Preparations from healthy organs can supply substances
that may be deficient in the corresponding organ in our
bodies, including nucleic acids and organspecific
enzymes and peptides (chains of amino acids in
specific sequences). Pancreatic enzymes are well
documented examples. Glandular products can
include certain peptides, glycosaminoglycans;
glycolipids and phospholipids; enzyme cofactors,
mineral storage proteins and other substances, all of
which support the cellular function of the target gland /
organ.
