It just occurred to me, how do these Indians get scurvy? It's not by eating fresh meat: They eat a boatload of it and it cures scurvy. So it must be something else. Maybe they eat seasonal plants or maple sap. Which then calls for eating the adrenals. But here the cause of scurvy is not the lack of dietary adrenal glands, it's the addition of sugar or plant matter. So what's in plants and sugar that causes scurvy? Which begs the question, did our poor little blogger really eat what he claims he did? Maybe he did, and that's why he got scurvy (he ate lots of vegetables).

Again, what's in the adrenal glands besides vitamin C?
