The Foundation of the War in Medicine


To understand what is going on in medicine we must look to the past. Consider
this article from the North Carolina Museum of History on medicine in the
19th century and before:

    "Just as common as taking medicine for a fever, from the Middle Ages
through the mid-1800s, bloodletting was performed on patients to cure
disease.

    Bloodletting is the process of withdrawing blood as a treatment. Most
people thought they would die anyway and used bloodletting as a last resort.
It began when Greek physician Hippocrates claimed that all diseases occur
when there is an imbalance of the four body fluids, otherwise known as
humors–black bile, blood, phlegm, and yellow bile. His discovery led to
bloodletting. When the blood was drawn from the vein it was believed that the
disease would flow out with the blood ...

    The procedure of bloodletting is done by applying either a leech or
scarificator that will make the initial puncture. Then, a heated cup is
placed over the wound that will take the additional blood. The process is
repeated until all the needed blood is taken. It was also common for the
doctors to use pointed sticks, knives, or tiny bows and arrows to draw blood.

These tools were often difficult to use and could result in too much blood
withdrawn from the patient and occasionally causing death.

    A famous victim of bloodletting is George Washington. He died from 

being bled heavily as a treatment for laryngitis.


    Toward the end of the time period in which bloodletting was common,
leeches began to be used. They were considered less painful and withdrew a
reliable amount of blood. The peak use of leeches was in the 1830s. Due to
the theory of Francois Broussais many doctors used leeching for symptoms such
as laryngitis, mental illness, and obesity. Medicinal leeches were preferred
over American leeches, which were said to make too small incisions and to
draw less blood than the European species. The use of leeching became so
popular that medicinal leeches became an endangered species."
   

Now suppose that in the 1830s, which was the peak of the use of leeches, the
medical community at the time, plus the leech breeders and scarification
makers got together and decided they had a good thing going. Suppose they
said that if they abandoned their techniques for newer techniques that their
incomes would drop and many jobs would be lost. Those who grew leeches
would make less profits, those who made the scarificators and other instruments
would make less profits, the doctors would make less income, and so on.

Suppose they all conspired together to suppress all future medical
discoveries (made after 1830) in order to maximize their earnings and
profits.

Had that happened, we would still be using bloodletting, leeches and
scarificators for virtually all diseases. Scientists today would be spending
vast amounts of money studying the DNA of the leeches to breed the most
efficient leeches. Scientists would be studying the optimum number of leeches
to use, and the optimum places on the body to place them for each type of
disease. Scientists would be studying the optimum amount of blood to draw.

The instrument makers would be designing high precision instruments to make
incisions and suctions, and so on and so forth.

The massive dollars they would request from the general public on "research"
would yield a very small, but ever-growing amount of progress. A "cure" would
always be "just around the corner," but since their interest was in profits
and income, not the health, comfort and survival of their patients, the "cure"
would never come. They might also figure out ways to cover up the lack
of progress in medicine by using creative statistics. They might develop very
clever ways to define "cure rates" in order to hide the fact that there was
very little progress being made.

What Has Happened???


Well, this "what-if" scenario for the 1830s is exactly what happened in
modern medicine in the 1920s. Only instead of stopping progress with
bloodletting and leeches, the medical profession decided to stop all medical
progress at the stage of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. The
original reason for stopping progress was profits. The pharmaceutical
industry, the chemical industry and the petroleum industry (many prescription
drugs are made from petroleum products and these three industries had cross-
ownership) were afraid that new discoveries might lessen their profits. Using
the profits of these industries as bait and influence money, the new
mentality spread to the leadership of the medical industry, and from there to
many other places.

The stagnation of progress in treating cancer continues today because the
enormously profitable procedures of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation make
many, many billions of dollars every year for the pharmaceutical industry,
the chemical industry, the petroleum industry, medical doctors, hospitals,
medical equipment makers, T.V. stations (through the advertising of the
pharmaceutical companies), radio stations (ditto), major magazines (ditto),
the ACS (the American Cancer Society is basically a public relations vehicle
for orthodox medicine), etc. etc.

    "Chemotherapy is an incredibly lucrative business for doctors, hospitals,


and pharmaceutical companies…..The medical establishment wants everyone to
follow the same exact protocol. They don’t want to see the chemotherapy
industry go under, and that’s the number one obstacle to any progress in
oncology."

    Dr Warner, M.D.


In other words, the medical community has gone along with the idea that
chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are so profitable, that there will never
be any progress in the "war against cancer." The leaders have intentionally,
willingly, knowingly and pro-actively suppressed every possible advance in
cancer treatments for over 80 years, dating back to the 1920s. (Note:
Salvarsan, the first chemotherapy drug, was discovered by Nobel Prize winner
Paul Ehrlich in 1909 and was initially used primarily on syphilis.)

The Ralph Moss Story, by Ralph Moss


    "In 1974, I began working at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the
world's leading cancer treatment hospital. I was an idealistic and eager
young science writer, sincerely proud to be part of Sloan Kettering and
Nixon's "War On Cancer." Ever since I was a kid, my main heroes were
scientists (with the Brooklyn Dodgers running a close second!) The job at
Sloan-Kettering seemed like a dream come true for me. I wanted to be part of
the winning team that finally beat cancer.

    Within three years, I had risen to the position of Assistant Director of
Public Affairs at the Hospital. At the time, I was 34 years old, married to
my high-school sweetheart, and we had a daughter and son, then 9 and 7 years
old. We had dreams of buying a house and saving for the kids' education, so
you can imagine how thrilled we were when I was promoted, with a huge raise,
glowing feedback from my bosses, and was told that perks of the job would
eventually include reduced tuition for the kids at New York University.

Needless to say, we all were really counting on my "bright future" at Memorial
Sloan-Kettering. But something soon happened that changed the courseof my
life forever.

    A big part of my job as Assistant Director of Public Affairs was to write
press releases for the media about cancer news and to write the in-hospital
newsletter. I also handled calls from the press and public about cancer
issues. So I was just doing a normal day's work - or so I thought-when I
began interviewing an esteemed scientist at the Hospital for a newsletter
article I was working on. It turned out that the scientist, Dr.Kanematsu
Sugiura, had repeatedly gotten positive results shrinking tumors in mice
studies with a natural substance called amygdalin (You may have heard of it
as "laetrile".) Excitedly (and naively!) I told my "discovery" of Sugiura's
work to the Public Affairs Director and other superiors, and laid out my
plans for an article about it. Then I got the shock of my life.

    They insisted that I stop working on this story immediately and never
pick it up again. Why? They said that Dr. Sugiura's work was invalid and
totally meaningless. But I had seen the results with my own eyes! And I knew
Dr. Sugiura was a true scientist and an ethical person. Then my bosses gave
me the order that I'll never forget: They told me to lie. Instead of the
story I had been planning to write, they ordered me to write an article and
press releases for all the major news stations emphatically stating that all
amygdalin studies were negative and that the substance was worthless for
cancer treatment. I protested and tried to reason with them, but it fell on
deaf ears.

    I will never forget how I felt on the subway ride home that day. My head
was spinning with a mixture of strong feelings- confusion, shock,
disappointment, fear for my own livelihood and my family's future, and behind
it all, an intense need to know why this cover-up was happening. After long
talks with my wife and parents (who were stunned, as you can imagine) I
decided to put off writing any amygdalin press releases as long as I could
while I discreetly looked into the whole thing some more on my own time.
Everyone at the office seemed happy just to drop the whole thing, and we got
busy with other less controversial projects.

    So in the next few months, I was able to do my own investigating to
answer the big question I couldn't let go of: Who were these people I worked
for and why would they want to suppress positive results in cancer research?
My files grew thick as I uncovered more and more fascinating - and disturbing
- facts. I had never given any thought to the politics of cancer before. Now
I was putting together the pieces as I learned that:

    The people on Sloan-Kettering's Board of Directors were a "Who's Who" of
investors in petrochemical and other polluting industries. In other words,
the hospital was being run by people who made their wealth by investing in
the worst cancer-causing things on the planet.

    CEOs of top pharmaceutical companies that produced cancer drugs also
dominated the Board. They had an obvious vested interest in promoting
chemotherapy and undermining natural therapies.

    The Chairman and the President of Bristol-Myers Squibb, the world's
leading producer of chemotherapy, held high positions on MSKCC's Board.

    Of the nine members of the Hospital's powerful Institutional Policy
Committee, seven had ties to the pharmaceutical industry

    The Hospital itself invested in the stock of these same drug companies.

    Directors of the biggest tobacco companies in the U.S., Phillip Morris
and RJR Nabisco, held places of honor on the Board.

    Six Board Directors also served on the Boards of The New York Times, CBS,
Warner Communications, Readers Digest, and other media giants.

    Not surprisingly, profits from chemotherapy drugs were skyrocketing and
the media glowingly promoted every new drug as a "breakthrough" in cancer. I
kept all my notes in my filing cabinet at work. I had no idea what I would
ever do with them. I just knew that I had to get to the bottom of it, for
myself.

    Meanwhile, the public's interest in laetrile refused to go away. A lot of
people were going across the border to Mexican clinics to get the stuff and
my secretary's phone was ringing off the hook with people wanting to know
what Sloan-Kettering thought of its value. I was once again told to give out
the news that the studies had all been negative.

    At home, I called my family together for a meeting. With their support, I
decided I couldn't lie on behalf of the Hospital. In November of 1977, I
stood up at a press conference and blew the whistle on Memorial Sloan
Kettering Cancer Center's suppression of positive results with amygdalin.
It felt like jumping off the highest diving board, but I had no doubt I was
doing the right thing. I was fired the next day for "failing to carry out his
most basic responsibilities" as the Hospital described it to the New York
Times. In other words, failing to lie to the American people.

    When I tried to pick up my things in my office, I found my files had been
padlocked and two armed Hospital guards escorted me from the premises.

    Luckily for all of us, I have a very smart wife who all along had been
making copies of my research notes and had put a complete extra set of files
in a safe place. Those notes turned into my first book, The Cancer Industry,
which is still in print (in an updated version) and available in bookstores.

    That dramatic day, when I stood up in front of the packed press
conference and told the truth, was the beginning of a journey I never could
have predicted. I was launched on a mission that I'm still on today - helping
cancer patients find the truth about the best cancer treatments.

    Well, we weren't able to buy a home until years later, the kids went to
colleges on scholarships and loans, and my wife took on a demanding full-time
job to help us get by. But in retrospect, my experiences as an insider in
"the cancer industry" were among the best things ever to happen to me. My
values were put to the test and I had to really examine what was important in
my life. It is because of this difficult experience at Sloan-Kettering that I
found a truly meaningful direction for my professional life, rather than just
climbing Sloan-Kettering's career ladder and losing my soul in the process."

    Ralph Moss, author


The story of Ralph Moss, which is really the story of Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura,
is just the tip of the iceberg. Numerous alternative cancer researchers have
been rewarded for their discoveries with jail, being driven out of the
country, loss of license, harassment, and many other things. This war is not
for the weak at heart.

By Dr. Mercola

 

    Provocative new research involving data from nearly 3 million adults


suggests that a having an overweight body mass index (BMI) may be linked to a
longer life than one that puts you within a “normal” weight range.

    The research, which analyzed 97 studies in all, found that people with
BMIs under 30 but above normal (the overweight range) had a 6 percent lower
risk of dying from all causes than those who were normal weight, while those
whose BMIs fell into the obese range were 18 percent more likely to die of
any cause.

 The researchers wrote:


        “Relative to normal weight … overweight was associated with
significantly lower all-cause mortality.”

Do a Few Extra Pounds Make You Healthier?


    The study results imply, at least superficially, that carrying some extra
weight may help you live longer … or at the very least may not be as
unhealthy as it’s made out to be. In a JAMA editorial, Steven Heymsfield,
M.D. and William Cefalu, M.D. highlighted this notion:

        “The presence of a wasting disease, heart disease, diabetes, renal
dialysis, or older age are all associated with an inverse relationship
between BMI and mortality rate, an observation termed the obesity
paradox or reverse epidemiology.

        The optimal BMI linked with lowest mortality in patients with chronic
disease may be within the overweight and obesity range.

        Even in the absence of chronic disease, small excess amounts of
adipose tissue may provide needed energy reserves during acute catabolic
illnesses, have beneficial mechanical effects with some types of traumatic
injuries, and convey other salutary effects that need to be investigated in
light of the studies … "

    Indeed, it is quite possible to be overweight and healthy, just as it’s
possible to be normal weight and unhealthy. But for the vast majority of
those who carry around extra pounds, health problems will often result.

    The study has been heavily criticized for painting an overly simplistic
picture of a very complex situation. For instance, it doesn’t tell you
whether those living longer were afflicted with more chronic disease or
whether their quality of life was otherwise impacted. And even more
importantly, it used only BMI as a measure of body composition, and
this is a highly flawed technique.

    Many studies, such as one published in the Journal of the American
College of Cardiology have actually found that a high BMI was associated
with a lower risk of death, a phenomenon known as the "obesity paradox."
Butthese findings are typically only examples of how BMI is such a flawed
measurement tool …

Why BMI is a Flawed Measurement Tool


    If you'd like to know how much body fat you have and whether or not your
levels put you into a weight category that might lead to health problems,
most public health agencies, and therefore most physicians, promote the use
of the BMI, which gauges weight in relation to height. But this method is
quite flawed, as research suggests it may underestimate obesity rates and
misclassify up to one-quarter of men and nearly half of women.

According to lead author Dr. Eric Braverman, president of the nonprofit Path
Foundation in New York City:

        "Based on BMI, about one-third of Americans are considered obese, but
when other methods of measuring obesity are used, that number may be closer
to 60%."

    One of the primary reasons why BMI is such a flawed measurement tool is
that it uses weight as a measure of risk, when it is actually a high percentage
of body fat that makes a person have an increased disease risk.

Your weight takes into account your bone structure, for instance, so a big-
boned person may weigh more, but that certainly doesn't mean they have more
body fat.

    Athletes and completely out-of-shape people can also have similar BMI
scores, or a very muscular person could be classified as "obese" using BMI,
when in reality it is mostly lean muscle accounting for their higher-than-
average weight. BMI also tells you nothing about where fat is located in your
body, and it appears that the location of the fat, particularly if it's around
your stomach, is more important than the absolute amount of fat when
it comes to measuring certain health risks, especially heart disease.

This is another useful tool that is leaps and bounds ahead of BMI as far as
gauging your weight-related health risks is concerned. It is FAR better to
monitor your body fat percentage than it is your total weight, as the body
fat percentage is what dictates metabolic health or dysfunction – not your
total weight.

Too much body fat is linked to chronic health problems like high blood
pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, while too
little body fat is also problematic and can cause your body to enter a
catabolic state, where muscle protein is used as fuel.

Body fat calipers are one of the most trusted and most accurate ways to
measure body fat. A body fat or skinfold caliper is a lightweight, hand-held
device that quickly and easily measures the thickness of a fold of your skin
with its underlying layer of fat. Taken at three very specific locations on
your body, these readings can help you estimate the total percent of body fat
within your entire body.

 Overweight Often Leads to Obesity…


    It is quite clear that the more overweight you are, the greater the
health risks become. So even if it were true that a few extra pounds are
actually good for you, if you’re on a path of weight gain you’re on a
slippery slope that could easily lead to obesity.

    The most recent health report card issued for the United States predicts
that half of all American adults will be obese by 2030. Obesity-related
illness is predicted to raise national health care costs by $48 billion
annually over the next two decades by adding another 7.9 million new cases
of diabetes, 5 million cases of chronic heart disease and stroke, and 400,000
cancer cases… If you want to avoid becoming one of these statistics, I
suggest you start to look at your weight as less a product of “calories in
vs. calories out” and more the result of a faulty “fat switch.

Introduction


We live in a world of "fast foods," "fast cars," and fast answers or should I say: "shallow answers." Executives don't like to read reports of more than one or two pages. People want to learn everything they need to know about something by watching a 1/2 hour television show. Students want to learn complicated mathematics while they play video games. And so on.

Unfortunately, the world of cancer politics and cancer treatments are not simple subjects. They are complicated. Plus it is impossible to overcome decades of constant false information by reading for half an hour. So grab something to drink, settle into your seat, and grab your computer mouse, because this is not going to be a short story, nor will it be entertaining. Let us start with a metaphor.

The Small Town Metaphor


Let us suppose you move to a new town, in fact a small town with only two car repair shops (i.e. "garages"). One of them is owned by Jim. The other by Bob. Jim's garage is by far the biggest garage, he has lots of customers.

The problem is that Jim's mechanics are not very good because they have had very poor training. In fact, most of the time the cars they have "repaired" are in worse shape when they are done, than when the car first came in. Most people put up with Jim and just live with the shoddy work.

However, some people go to Bob's garage, usually after they have gone to Jim's garage first. While Jim's garage charges an average of $1,500 per car repair job, Bob's garage only charges $75 per car repair job. Furthermore, in over 90% of the time, Bob's garage completely fixes the cars of its customers, including the extra damage done by Jim's garage.

You are new to the town, and wonder why anyone would ever take their car to Jim's garage and why everyone doesn't take their car to Bob's garage first.

Then one day as you are reading the newspaper you see part of the problem. Jim is so rich he has several large ads in the newspaper every day. Bob rarely advertises, and when he does he usually gets a visit from the police, and it is not a friendly visit. It seems that all prior policemen in the town now work at Jim's garage, and the current policemen look forward to a cushy job at Jim's garage.

You also note that the newspaper has an article virtually every day about how good Jim's garage is. They interview satisfied customers, interview the mechanics, and make the mechanics sound like geniuses. You also read about how the mechanics at Jim's garage are constantly striving to get better and better equipment. But you note that the better and better equipment they talk about doesn't improve anything, it just increases the cost of their repairs.

You also note that the mayor, members of the chamber of commerce, etc. all strongly endorse Jim's garage. You also note that many of these influential people are highly paid part-time salesmen for Jim's garage.

You also note that Jim contributes significantly to the local schools, and that the children are taught how good Jim's garage is.

Finally you realize there is a war going on between Jim's garage and Bob's garage and that those in power in the town are more interested in which garage offers them the most benefits, than in which garage has the best mechanics. You see that the political machine in town does everything in their power to crush Bob's garage.

But above all, you note that month after month, year after year, Jim's garage prices keep growing and growing, it makes obscene profits, and usually does more damage than good in repairing the cars. You also note that those small number of people who later go to Bob's garage usually get their car completely fixed for less than $100.

What Is Wrong With This Picture?


What I have just described is the war in modern medicine with regards to cancer treatments.

Orthodox medicine is well organized, unbelievably well funded, and has total control over the news media due to the massive amounts of advertising dollars spent by the pharmaceutical industry. When was the last time you saw a 1/2 hour television show where the main speaker was a doctor who used alternative treatments for cancer? Try to name 10 of the "top 100" best alternative treatments for cancer.

Would it surprise you that the pharmaceutical companies make billions of dollars in profits on chemotherapy drugs every year? Big Pharma also controls many other aspects of life in America due to their many billions of dollars of clout. It turns out that there are a lot of people who will quickly "look the other way" for the right price.

Alternative medicine, on the other hand, is very poorly organized, equally poorly funded, disjointed, and severely persecuted by orthodox medicine.

People in America, unfortunately, generally make their key decisions based solely on what they hear on television. Yet, the fact that orthodox medicine has lots of money, and alternative medicine is disjointed, has nothing to do with which type of medicine has the best treatments for cancer. It only has to do with which side has had the most money for the longest amount of time. It is like the above metaphor: just because Jim's garage makes far more money than Bob's garage, and does far more advertising, doesn't mean Jim's garage charges a fair price and does a better job.

While orthodox medicine generally uses surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments, alternative medicine uses treatment plans with names like: Kelley Metabolic, Breuss Tea, Budwig Flaxseed, Brandt Grape Cure, Essiac Tea, etc.

Did you recognize any of the treatments I just mentioned under alternative medicine? You probably didn't. Yet if you have cancer, and if you make the wrong treatment decision, it could cost you your life! That's right - your own life. Before you brush-off this war as being unimportant to you, keep that in mind.

You probably think that this war is about medical theory, and that one side believes in the "germ theory" of disease and the other side believes in the "nutritional theory" of disease. Or perhaps you think that orthodox medicine is interested in treating "symptoms," while alternative medicine is interested in treating "causes." While there are theoretical differences, the war is not caused by differences in medical theory. The war is all about profits.

    "We are not dealing with a scientific problem. We are dealing with a political issue."
    Dr Samuel Epstein, M.D.

The fact of the matter is that this war is a political war. Like all other wars in world history, it is all about money, power and the control of the general public. Most of all it is a war about orthodox medicine maintaining the power they have had since 1910.

Our government agencies and the corporations that control them have done everything in their power to make sure you do not know the truth about alternative medicine, and especially alternative treatments for cancer and alternative prevention measures for heart disease. And the television stations and other media are not about to say anything negative about one of their biggest advertisers - the pharmaceutical industry. So called "investigative journalists" are never going to investigate the friends of their employer.

By Dr. Mercola


    If you physically over-tax your body, 


say by overexerting yourself on ahot day or staying up for 24 hours with no
sleep, you probably wouldn’t besurprised if it suddenly “breaks down.”

    We avoid such pitfalls by tending to our physical health, resting and
drinking water when doing taxing work in the outdoor heat or making sure we
get adequate sleep on most nights.

    Your mind is subject to the same rules, meaning that it can only take so
much stress before it breaks down, yet many neglect to tend to their
emotional health with the same devotion they give to their physical well-
being. This is a mistake, but one that’s easily remedied with the following
tips for emotional nurturing.

9 Strategies to Stay Emotionally Healthy and Avoid a Breakdown


    1. Be an Optimist


        Looking on the bright side increases your ability to experience
happiness in your day-to-day life while helping you cope more effectively
with stress.

    2. Have Hope


        Having hope allows you to see the light at the end of the tunnel,
helping you push through even dark, challenging times. Accomplishing goals,
even small ones, can help you to build your level of hope.

    3. Accept Yourself


        Self-deprecating remarks and thoughts will shroud your mind with
negativity and foster increased levels of stress. Seek out and embrace the
positive traits of yourself and your life, and avoid measuring your own worth
by comparing yourself to those around you.

    4. Stay Connected


        Having loving and supportive relationships helps you feel connected
and accepted, and promote a more positive mood. Intimate relationships help
meet your emotional needs, so make it a point to reach out to others to
develop and nurture these relationships in your life.

    5. Express Gratitude


        People who are thankful for what they have are better able to cope
with stress, have more positive emotions, and are better able to reach their
goals. The best way to harness the positive power of gratitude is to keep a
gratitude journal or list, where you actively write down exactly what you’re
grateful for each day. Doing so has been linked to happier moods, greater
optimism and even better physical health.

    6. Find Your Purpose and Meaning


        When you have a purpose or goal that you’re striving for, your life
will take on a new meaning that supports your mental well-being. If you’re
not sure what your purpose is, explore your natural talents and interests to
help find it, and also consider your role in intimate relationships and
ability to grow spiritually.

    7. Master Your Environment


        When you have mastery over your environment, you’ve learned how to
best modify your unique circumstances for the most emotional balance, which
leads to feelings of pride and success. Mastery entails using skills such as
time management and prioritization along with believing in your ability to
handle whatever life throws your way.

    8. Exercise Regularly


        Exercise boosts levels of health-promoting neurochemicals like
serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which may help buffer some of the
effects of stress and also relieve some symptoms of depression. Rather than
viewing exercise as a medical tool to lose weight, prevent disease, and live
longer – all benefits that occur in the future – try viewing exercise as a
daily tool to immediately enhance your frame of mind, reduce stress and feel
happier.

    9. Practice Mindfulness


        Practicing “mindfulness” means that you’re actively paying attention
to the moment you’re in right now. Rather than letting your mind wander, when
you’re mindful you’re living in the moment and letting distracting or
negative thoughts pass through your mind without getting caught up in their
emotional implications. Mindfulness can help you reduce stress for increased
well-being as well as achieve undistracted focus.

Are You in the Midst of an Emotional Breakdown?


    If difficult life circumstances and the negative emotions they create are
making happiness hard to come by, I urge you to try the Emotional Freedom
Technique (EFT).

    EFT is a powerful self-help method based on research showing that
emotional trauma contributes greatly to disease. Clinical trials have shown
that EFT is able to rapidly reduce the emotional impact of memories and
incidents that trigger emotional distress. Once the distress is reduced or
removed, your body can often rebalance itself and accelerate healing.

    I've seen its effectiveness first-hand for a number of years, which is
why EFT is the healing technique I most highly recommend to optimize your
emotional health.

    Specifically, EFT is a form of psychological acupressure, based on the
same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture to treat physical and
emotional ailments for over five thousand years, but without the evasiveness
of needles. Instead, simple tapping with your fingertips is used to input
kinetic energy onto specific meridians on your head and chest while you think
about your specific problem -- whether it is a traumatic event, an addiction,
pain, etc. - and voice positive affirmations.

    This combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing positive
affirmation works to clear the "short-circuit" — the emotional block — from
your body's bioenergy system, thus restoring your mind and body's balance,
which is essential for optimal emotional health and the healing of physical
disease.

Healthy Habits are Happy Habits


    Embracing healthy habits will help keep your mood elevated naturally even
in the midst of stress. Happy people tend to be healthy people, and vice
versa, so in addition to the tips above, the following lifestyle strategies
can also help to support emotional wellness:

        Eat well: What you eat directly impacts your mood and energy levels
in both the short and long term. Whereas eating right can prime your body and
brain to be in a focused, happy state, eating processed junk foods will leave
you sluggish and prone to chronic disease. My free nutrition plan is an
excellent tool to help you choose the best foods for both physical and
emotional wellness.

        Proper sleep: Sleep deprivation is linked to psychiatric disorders
such as anxiety and bipolar depression, while getting the right amount of
sleep has been linked to positive personality characteristics such as
optimism and greater self-esteem, as well as a greater ability to solve
difficult problems.

        Animal-based omega-3 fats: Low concentrations of the omega-3 fats EPA
and DHA are known to increase your risk for mood swings and mood disorders.
Those suffering from depression have been found to have lower levels of
omega-3 in their blood, compared to non-depressed individuals. Krill oil is
my preferred source of omega-3 fats.

        Regular sun exposure: This is essential for vitamin D production, low
levels of which are linked to depression. But even beyond vitamin D, regular
safe sun exposure is known to enhance mood and energy through the release of
endorphins.

By Dr. Mercola


    The connections between stress and physical health are being explored 


at greater frequency these days. For example, recent news items have reported
the links between emotional distress and physical pain, chronic
inflammation and even stillbirths.

    In fact, pregnant women who experience significant stress in the months
prior to, or during pregnancy are more likely to deliver stillborn babies.
The risk is heightened with each stressful event, such as moving, losing a
job, or the death of a friend or family member.

    Previous studies have linked stress to lowered immune system function;
increased blood pressure and cholesterol levels; altered brain chemistry,
blood sugar levels and hormonal balance. It has also been found to increase
the rate at which tumors grow.

    In a poll, work was identified as the number one source of stress in

people’s lives.


    Clearly, it is not possible or even recommended to eliminate stress
entirely. However you can work to provide your body with tools to compensate
for the bioelectrical short-circuiting that can cause serious disruption in
many of your body's important systems.

    By using techniques such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), you
can reprogram your body’s reactions to the unavoidable stressors of everyday
life. Exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and meditation are also
important “release valves” that can help you manage your stress.

How Stress Causes Disease


    When you're stressed, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol,
which prepare your body to fight or flee the stressful event. Your heart rate
increases, your lungs take in more oxygen, your blood flow increases and
parts of your immune system become temporarily suppressed, which reduces
your inflammatory response to pathogens and other foreign invaders.

    When stress becomes chronic, however, your immune system becomes
less sensitive to cortisol, and since inflammation is partly regulated by this
hormone, this decreased sensitivity heightens the inflammatory response and
allows inflammation to get out of control.

    This is in large part how stress “predisposes” you to getting sick in the
first place. And, in the event you do get sick, emotional stressors can make
your symptoms worse. Because inflammation plays a role in most diseases,
including cardiovascular disease, asthma and autoimmune disorders, this model
suggests why stress impacts them as well.

Links Explored Between Physical and Emotional Pain Relief


    According to two recent studies from the Association for Psychological
Science, physical pain may be a natural mechanism to help you regulate your
emotions. This concept was explored by investigating a phenomenon known as
“pain offset relief,” in which you experience the emotion of relief when the
physical pain is removed.

    In the first study, the researchers recorded participants’ emotions via
electrodes in response to loud noises delivered either alone or seconds after
receiving a low- or high-intensity electric shock. After pain offset,
participants showed increased positive emotions and decreased negative
emotions. The greater the pain (i.e. intensity of the shock), the greater the
increase in positive emotions once the pain stopped. According to the
authors, these findings shed light on the emotional nature of pain offset
relief.

    However, while the authors speculated that this might help us understand
why some people seek relief through self-injurious behavior, a second study
refuted the idea that those who harm themselves in an effort to experience
relief do so because they experience greater levels of relief once the pain
is removed than others. According to the featured article:

        “Surprisingly, healthy individuals displayed pain offset relief
levels that were comparable to those of individuals with a history of self-
harm, and there was no correlation between pain offset relief and self-harm
frequency. These results do not support the hypothesis that heightened pain
offset relief is a risk factor for future self-injury. Instead... the biggest
risk factors for nonsuicidal self-injury may concern how some people overcome
the instinctive barriers that keep most people from inflicting self-harm.”

Dwelling on Stressful Events Can Increase Inflammation in Your Body


    Related research presented at the annual meeting of the American
Psychosomatic Society in Miami, Florida, found that ruminating on a stressful
incident can increase your levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of
inflammation in your body. It was the first study to directly measure this
effect.

    To do so, they asked 34 healthy young women to give a speech about her
candidacy for a job in front of two stone-faced interviewers wearing white
lab coats. Afterward, half the group was asked to contemplate their
performance while the other half were asked to think about neutral things
like going to the grocery store. Blood samples were drawn from each
participant, showing that the C-reactive protein levels were significantly
higher in those who kept ruminating on their speech. According to Medical
News Today:

        “For these participants, the levels of the inflammatory marker
continued to rise for at least one hour after the speech. During the same
time period, the marker returned to starting levels in the subjects who had
been asked to focus on other thoughts.

        The C-reactive protein is primarily produced by the liver as part of
the immune system's initial inflammatory response. It rises in response to
traumas, injuries or infections in the body, [lead author, Peggy] Zoccola
explained. C-reative protein is widely used as a clinical marker to determine
if a patient has an infection, but also if he or she may be at risk for
disease later in life. 'More and more, chronic inflammation is being
associated with various disorders and conditions,' Zoccola said. 'The immune
system plays an important role in various cardiovascular disorders such as
heart disease, as well as cancer, dementia and autoimmune diseases.'"

Work is the Primary Cause of Stress in People's Lives


    So what’s keeping your mind running in circles? According to a recent
survey of more than 2,000 people, work topped the list as the most stressful
factor in people's lives.

        34 percent of respondents reported that their work life was either
        “very” or “quite” stressful

        30 percent cited debt or financial problems as the most stressful
        factor, and

        17 percent cited health problems as their main source of stress

    Workplace stress resulted in seven percent of adults having suicidal
thoughts. That figure was even higher among 18-24-year olds — as many
as 10 percent in this age group have had suicidal thoughts as a result of work
stress. One in five people also reported developing anxiety due to work-
related stresses, and even more disturbingly, nearly 60 percent reported
using alcohol after work to cope. Fourteen percent also said they drank
during the work day to deal with the pressure!

    Other destructive coping mechanisms cited included:

        Smoking (28 percent)
        Taking antidepressants (15 percent)
        Over-the-counter and prescription sleeping pills (16 and 10 percent
        respectively)

    The cost associated with all this stress goes beyond that of an
individual’s health. It’s also costly to employers. Stress-related health
expenses, productivity losses and the costs associated with high employee
turnover rates is currently costing American companies an estimated $360
billion each year.10 And while more than half of managers (56 percent) polled
said they’d like to do more to improve the mental health of their staff, they
said they needed more training, and 46 percent said mental health was not a
priority in their organization so they couldn’t do anything about it even
though they wanted to.

    For examples on how you can increase wellness at work, whether you’re an
employee or a manager, please see my recent article "Why Wellness in the
Workplace Matters." Chief Executive of Mind, Paul Farmer told Medical News

Today:

        "Work related mental health problems are an issue too important for
businesses to ignore. Our research shows that employees are still
experiencing high levels of stress at work, which is negatively impacting
their physical and mental health. We know that right now, one in six workers
is experiencing depression, stress or anxiety and yet our survey tells us
that most managers don't feel they have had enough training or guidance to
support them.

        Improving mental well being in the workplace doesn't have to cost a
lot. Our research shows that people whose organizations offered flexible
working hours and generous annual leave said such measures supported their
mental well being. Three in five people said that if their employer took
action to support the mental well being of all staff, they would feel more
loyal, motivated, committed and be likely to recommend their workplace as a
good place to work."

EFT — Your Best Defense Against Anxiety and Stress


    Even the conservative Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that 85
percent of all disease has an emotional element. Stress and anxiety are two
prevalent reasons why many people acquire health problems ranging from ulcers
to sleeping problems to depression and more serious chronic ailments.

    Many, if not most people carry emotional scars -- traumas that can
adversely affect your health. Chronic stress is akin to emotional scarring,
and causes ongoing damage to your cells. According to cellular biologist Dr.
Bruce Lipton, the true secret to life does not lie within your DNA, but
rather within the mechanisms of your cell membrane. Each cell membrane has
receptors that pick up various environmental signals — which includes your
thoughts and emotional state — and this mechanism controls the "reading" of
the genes inside your cells. Your cells can choose to read or not read the
genetic blueprint depending on the signals being received from the
environment. This is what is now known as epigenetic control, i.e. the
environment within your body — including your emotional terrain — controls
your genetic expression, not the other way around.

    Using techniques like energy psychology, you can correct the emotional
short circuiting that contributes to your chronic stress. My favorite
technique for this is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which is the
largest and most popular version of energy psychology.

    EFT was developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig, a Stanford engineering
graduate specializing in healing and self-improvement. It’s akin to
acupuncture, which is based on the concept that a vital energy flows through
your body along invisible pathways known as meridians. EFT stimulates
different energy meridian points in your body by tapping them with your
fingertips, while simultaneously using custom-made verbal affirmations.
Thiscan be done alone or under the supervision of a qualified therapist.
 Bydoing so, you help your body eliminate emotional “scarring” and reprogram
theway your body responds to emotional stressors. Since these stressors are
usually connected to physical problems, many people’s diseases and other
symptoms can improve or disappear as well.

    For a demonstration of how to perform EFT, please see the following video
featuring EFT practitioner Julie Schiffman. The first video is a general
demonstration, which can be tailored to just about any problem, and the
second demonstrates how to tap for depression. While this technique is
particularly effective for relieving emotional or mental stress and anxiety,
it can be used for all manner of physical pain relief as well.

     While the video above will easily teach you how to do EFT, it is VERY
important to realize that self-treatment for serious issues is NOT
recommended. It can be dangerous because it will allow you to falsely
conclude that EFT does not work when nothing could be further from the truth.
For serious or complex issues, you need someone to guide you through the
process as there is an incredible art to this process and it typically takes
years of training to develop the skill to tap on deep-seated, significant
issues.

For Optimal Health, Take Stress Management Seriously


    As much as you may try to ignore it, you cannot separate your wellness
from your emotions. Every feeling you have affects some part of your body,
and stress can wreak havoc on your physical health even if you’re doing
everything else “right.”

    The classic definition of stress is “any real or imagined threat, and
your body’s response to it.” Celebrations and tragedies alike can cause a
stress response in your body. All of your feelings, positive or negative,
create physiological changes. Your skin, heart rate, digestion, joints,
muscle energy levels, the hair on your head, and countless cells and systems
you don't even know about change with every emotion.

    You cannot eliminate stress entirely, but there are tools available to
help your body compensate for the bioelectrical short-circuiting caused by
stress that is the root of so much illness and poor health. Exercising
regularly, getting enough sleep, and meditation are also important “release
valves” that can help you manage your stress.

    The beauty about energy psychology techniques such as the Emotional
Freedom Technique (EFT) is that it can reprogram your body’s reactions to the
unavoidable stressors of everyday life, thereby providing a more lasting
effect. While it’s easy to do on your own, it’s advisable to seek the help of
a licensed therapist13 if you’re dealing with trauma-based stress such as
PTSD or grief following the loss of a loved one.
