This is the work of Hans Selye, MD
(1907-1982). It is very important research. Some
of the terms he coined have come into general use such as stress, adaptation
and others. However, his work is
otherwise not yet taught to doctors of any kind.
THE STAGES OF STRESS
The body passes through three stages of stress, as he called
them. These he called alarm, resistance and exhaustion. Then the body dies.
Each stage is worse than the previous one, meaning one has less
adaptive energy. Each stage has a
set of so-called ÒdiseasesÓ associated with it. Really, all they are is various manifestations of problems
associated with each stage of stress.
THE GENERAL ADAPTATION SYNDROME
He called the process of moving through the stages of stress the
general adaptation syndrome. Basically, the body adapts to these stages of stress. This means that it changes itself in
order to cope with the stress level.
The changes involve the nervous system, nutrient levels, cholesterol
level, and the levels of thousands of other chemicals, hormones and more.
IMPORTANCE OF THE ADRENAL GLANDS
Dr. Selye identified the adrenal glands as
central to the stages of stress. The
adrenals are sometimes called the stress
glands because they secrete anti-stress hormones.
THE UNITY OF ALL DISEASE
His research showed that all types of stressors cause similar changes
in the body. This is a monumental
idea because doctors are taught the opposite – that there are thousands
of diseases.
STRESS THEORY AND MEDICAL CARE
This theory unifies health care and makes it unnecessary to make up
thousands of labels that doctors use to describe symptoms. Once one understands the principles of
the stress theory, one can correct dozens of symptoms at the same time without
drugs or remedies of any kind.
Just correct the stage of stress and the problems that go with it
disappear.
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND THE STRESS
THEORY
The stress theory is used extensively in development programs, in
conjunction with related concepts such as metabolic typing and yang and yin.
Dr. Selye did not explore in much detail the
nutritional problems associated with each of the stages of stress. This research was
done later by Dr. George Watson, Dr. Paul Eck and others. However, this knowledge is also vital
for moving a body from a less desirable stage of stress to a more desirable
stage.
