Control and Refinement of Hormones
=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya
Wonders of Disturbed Secretion of Growth Hormones: Imbalance of the hormone-secreting glands (the endocrine glands)
creates amazing disorders in natural living system. The pair of a 25-inch
‘tall’ man, Tom Thumb and a 24-inch tall woman, Lebonia is counted among the
great wonders of Nature in the human society. However, the experts know that
such wonders are results of slight disorders in the endocrine system. Tom Thumb
weighed 9 pounds 2 ounce at the time of birth; but, due to some deficiency in
hormonal secretions, his body-weight remained the same. His body had become a
source of earning for him through jugglery.
He had married a matching
dwarf woman and enhanced his business through their joint shows. The other
extreme of hormonal imbalance leads to uncontrolled growth of height and /or
weight. Robert Widelio’s height of 8 ft 11 inches was a live example of this
effect. He used to look like a moving Palm Tree. A 7 ft tall man Tilwar lived
like a ‘show piece’ for the people of Palamou in Bihar (India).
Czar Peter of Russia was very tall. He used to
like tall people. When one of his favorite, exceptionally tall sergeant died,
the Czar had ordered to preserve his skeleton in the Kuntz art museum. This
specimen was about 200 years old when some scientists tried to investigate the
cause of its abnormal height with the help of X-rays. The analysis carried out
by them identified excessive secretions through the pituitary gland as the
cause of this exceptional growth.
Alipus of Alexandria was a dwarf. His height was only 17 inches.
Amira Zambilakas had kept him in his house to entertain the visitors. He used
to carry Alipus in a small cage while traveling. Fanny Miles, a girl
born in 1880 in Cincinnati, Ohio USA, had exceptionally long feet in her
otherwise normal body. Her 2-ft long feet used to frighten people. Nobody
married her because of this abnormality.
