 Excessive Stress
As with exercise, a mild to moderate amount of emotional stress produces only a slight increase in free radicals. Severe emotional stress, however, causes the number of free radicals to rise significantly, creating oxidative stress. Have you ever noticed that when you are under a lot of pressure you frequently become sick? How many times have you known a close friend or family member who has been under tremendous stress for a prolonged period of time only to discover he has developed cancer or had a first heart attack? |

 If mental and emotional stress can cause elevated levels of cytokine activity, which can lead to more episodes and flare-ups of autoimmune disease, how can we break this self-defeating cycle? If emotional stress can promote disease, can finding a way to be calmer and less stressed by whatever challenges come our way help to improve our health?

We use the term unstable angina when episodes aren't predictable. Unstable angina is provoked more frequently, lasts longer, and even can occur during rest or sleep, when there is no extra oxygen demand on the heart. |

 A recently published study suggests that severe emotional stress can triple the risk of breast cancer. One hundred women who had a breast lump were interviewed before they knew that they had breast cancer. One in two who had the disease had suffered a major traumatic life event, such as bereavement, within the previous five years. The effects of emotional stress or unhappiness can severely impair digestion, elimination, and immunity, thus leading to a dangerously high level of toxicity in the body. |

 Even vegetarians, whose food is mostly alkaline, can have low saliva pH readings due to negative attitudes or emotional stress. Dr. Morter states that saliva pH should always rise immediately after a person has eaten. If it does not, this indicates that alkaline reserve minerals in the body are lacking and need to be replenished.5
Initial morning urine pH numbers are easier to interpret. When body pH is in healthy balance, the urine has very little odor, and has a pH in the range of 6.8 to 7.2. When the pH is lower than 6. |

 Attacks of asthma have been found to be more common during puberty, times of emotional stress, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause, all of which point to emotional or hormonal factors playing a part. Asthma is also more likely to occur if the person is fatigued or is undertaking strenuous physical activity.

| If it is given the proper nutrition, exercise, and rest, and is supported by positive attitudes and freedom from serious emotional stress, the human body is fully capable of staying healthy for 120 years or more. It has innate intelligence, a built-in knowing. It is designed to self-correct by instinct. All we have to do is work with it, not against it. Even in the face of all the wrongs we inflict on the body, it still strives valiantly to keep us healthy for as long as it can. It struggles in the face of deficiencies and hardships. It truly is a faithful servant. |

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
The reproductive glands include the ovaries in the female, and the testes in the male. The ovaries produce ova, or eggs, during the reproductive part of a female's life, and the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which promote the production of feminizing cells in the female body. The testes produce sperm for the fertilization of the female's egg, and the hormone testosterone, which promotes the production of masculinizing cells in the male body.

| Mucus buildup from wrong eating habits, emotional stress, and poor bowel habits can cause constipation.
A person who takes five or ten minutes to complete a bowel movement is constipated. A healthy body on a healthy diet should take only a minute or two to complete the process.
As digested food moves through the digestive tract, the walls of the colon are constantly at work absorbing moisture and nutrients out of the contents for use in the body. The colon wall acts as a two-way filter that allows the passage of body wastes, toxins, and fluids en route to elimination. |

| Financial, work, and personal pressures have so complicated our lives that emotional stress is the most pressing health factor I deal with in my practice. Once you begin to understand the seriousness of oxidative stress, you begin to appreciate the dangerous effects of long-term emotional pressure on your health, and you can begin to counteract it.
Air Pollution

| This means that emotional stress may not only trigger or contribute to the development of cancer, but also undermine or reduce the effectiveness of cancer treatments.
The German university professor, Ryke Geerd Hamer, M.D., discovered during routine CT scans of over 20,000 cancer patients that each of them had a lesion in a certain part of the brain that looks like concentric rings on a shooting target or like the surface of water after a stone has been dropped into it. This distortion in the brain is known as "HAMER herd". |

| Addictions take many forms; some are socially acceptable and some are not. When emotional stress becomes too great, we turn to escapes such as food, sugar, soft drinks, alcohol, nicotine, sex, destructive anger, manipulating and controlling others, gambling, or legal and illegal drugs. When the stress is not alleviated by sedation, which is always temporary, and when it is not addressed by a resolution of the underlying emotional conflict, disease symptoms begin to appear. The addiction problem and the emotional pain continue. |

 Imagine being able to infuse your bath water with the restorative information of Source energy or the Chill or emotional stress Release Infoceuticals. NES research, and research by others, such as William Tiller, show that space can be imprinted with information and that information in the environment can persist over time and affect those who enter the space. We have said that you are not separate from your world, that your body, at its deepest, most fundamental quantum core, is in constant interaction with the external environment. |

A dormant piece of viral material such as HIV, on the other hand, can do no harm in a healthy body. |

 Asthma and allergies share a relationship to emotional stress. Even conventional doctors, especially the younger ones, now know that asthma has significant emotional triggers in addition to its physical components. Anxiety and stress are common asthma triggers—just as they are for so many other conditions and symptoms. It's not that emotions cause asthma, but they can make symptoms a lot worse. Strong emotions can even trigger an attack.
Stress management may be one of the best "natural cures," or "adjuncts," for managing asthma severity. |
