class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>General Stress Response<\/h5><p class=\"s8\"><span class=\"s7\"><strong>Hans Selye, MD, PhD<\/strong> defined stress as the body\u2019s nonspecific response to any demand <\/span><span class=\"s7\">\u2013 <\/span><span class=\"s7\">pleasant or unpleasant<\/span><span class=\"s7\">. <\/span><span class=\"s7\">Selye hypothesized a <\/span><span class=\"s7\">g<\/span><span class=\"s7\">eneral <\/span><span class=\"s7\">a<\/span><span class=\"s7\">daptation <\/span><span class=\"s7\">s<\/span><span class=\"s7\">yndrome<\/span><span class=\"s7\">. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"s8\"><span class=\"s7\">There are three components to the <\/span><span class=\"s7\">g<\/span><span class=\"s7\">eneral <\/span><span class=\"s7\">adaptation<\/span> <span class=\"s7\">s<\/span><span class=\"s7\">yndrome<\/span><span class=\"s7\">. The first stage, <\/span><span class=\"s7\">termed the\u00a0alarm stage, represents a mobilization of the body\u2019s defensive forces<\/span><span class=\"s7\">\u2014<\/span><span class=\"s7\">it<\/span> <span class=\"s7\">prepar<\/span><span class=\"s7\">es<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> for the \u201cfight or flight\u201d syndrome. This involves <\/span><span class=\"s7\">hormones and chemical<\/span><span class=\"s7\">s<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> excreted at high levels<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> as well as an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, perspiration, respiration rate, etc. In the second phase<\/span><span class=\"s7\">, <\/span><span class=\"s7\">the\u00a0stage of resistance<\/span><span class=\"s7\">,<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> the body becomes adaptive to the challenge and even begins to resist it. The length of this stage <\/span><span class=\"s7\">depends on<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> the body\u2019s innate and stored adaptation energy reserves and <\/span><span class=\"s7\">the intensity of the stressor. Just as <\/span><span class=\"s7\">machine<\/span><span class=\"s7\">s<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> wear<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> out<\/span><span class=\"s7\">,<\/span> <span class=\"s7\">so do living organisms that <\/span><span class=\"s7\">are<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> victim<\/span><span class=\"s7\">s<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> of <\/span><span class=\"s7\">constant wear and tear. The <\/span><span class=\"s7\">adaptation is lost if the individual is subject to still greater exposure to the stressor. <\/span><span class=\"s7\">In the third<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> and final<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> phase, t<\/span><span class=\"s7\">he<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> organism enters into <\/span><span class=\"s7\">the exhaustion stage\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s7\">and then dies because it has used up its <\/span><span class=\"s7\">adaptation energy. Thankfully, few people ever experience this last stage!<\/span><\/p><p class=\"s8\"><span class=\"s7\">Stress diseases are maladies caused principally by errors in the body\u2019s general adaptation process. They will not occur when all the body\u2019s regulatory processes are properly checked and balanced. They will not develop when adaptation is facilitated by improved perception and interpretation. The biggest problems with derailing the <\/span><span class=\"s7\">g<\/span><span class=\"s7\">eneral <\/span><span class=\"s7\">adaptation<\/span> <span class=\"s7\">s<\/span><span class=\"s7\">yndrome <\/span><span class=\"s7\">and causing disease is an absolute excess, deficiency, or disequilibrium in the <\/span><span class=\"s7\">amount<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> of adaptive hormones \u2013 for example, corticoid, ACTH, and growth hormones produced during stress. Unfortunately, if stress is induced chronically, our defense response lowers its resistance <\/span><span class=\"s7\">because<\/span> <span class=\"s7\">fewer antibodies are <\/span><span class=\"s7\">produced<\/span><span class=\"s7\"> and an inflammatory response dwindles.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-243fc37 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"243fc37\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c28c2a4\" data-id=\"c28c2a4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f540800 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"f540800\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"coleman\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc73f47 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dc73f47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Lewis Coleman, MD\u2019s Landmark Discovery in the Science of Stress<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b3b833 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b3b833\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Continued from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stress.org\/what-is-stress#coleman-teaser\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\">What is Stress<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8067ab1 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"8067ab1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bd1b0d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3bd1b0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Lewis Coleman, MD, Chief Science Officer at The American Institute of Stress<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"s8\">Professor\u00a0Hans Selye, \u201cthe father of stress medicine,\u201d had another idea based on his observation that people with widely varying diagnoses exhibited similar symptoms. He coined the term \u201cstress,\u201d in the context of how we use the term today, defining how we react to any demands placed upon our bodies and minds. Although he was a prolific researcher and founded a new concept of physiology, there wasn\u2019t sufficient science in his day to finish the task of replacing putative concepts with known facts.<\/p><p>After working on it for over 20 years, anesthesiologist Dr.\u00a0Lewis S. Coleman\u00a0has uncovered the Mammalian Stress Mechanism originally proposed by Hans Selye, explaining how the relationship between illnesses and the environment stress us, and how our bodies naturally respond by repairing us and making us whole again. This Unified Theory of Medicine and Biology explains how treatments that restore normal stress mechanism activity can cure disease and save lives. This is the zenith of 20th century science and the most important advance in the history of medicine and biology for the 21st century.<\/p><p>The Winter 2022 issue of Contentment magazine introduces The Mammalian Stress Mechanism as discovered by Dr. Coleman. Subscriptions are FREE. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stress.org\/contentment-magazine\/\">Sign Up<\/a> and read about this amazing breakthrough today at the nonprofit The American Institute of Stress.<\/p><p>The stress mechanism is complex, beautiful, and a force of nature. It normally functions efficiently and unobtrusively to supply oxygen and nutrients to cells throughout the body, to maintain and repair tissues when they are injured, regulate blood flow, breathing, digestion and excretion. Combinations of tissue damage and hyperactive nervous system activity overwhelm the stress mechanism causing it to waste the body\u2019s resources and produce excessive and defective substances that damage tissues and disrupt organ function. This manifests as disease.<\/p><p>All the time, money and human toll invested in attempting to cure cancer and so many other diseases made little progress because it was all based on an incomplete and often flawed physiology. Now if medical schools, researchers, and governments embrace and shift resources along the way Dr. Coleman informs us, healthcare in the near future will not only be far more effective, but it will also be kinder, gentler, working with our bodies rather than overpowering us. So called \u201cmodern medicine\u201d will languish in history in the way we think of medieval medicine now. Dr. Coleman\u2019s new book is the new bible of medicine and requires and deserves intense study and adoption in every field of healthcare. Dr.\u00a0Lewis S. Coleman\u00a0is truly the father of 21st century medicine.<\/p><p>50 Years Lost in Medical Advance: The discovery of Hans Selye\u2019s stress mechanism by\u00a0Lewis S. Coleman, MD, FAIS, published by the American Institute of Stress Press is available on Amazon and wherever fine books are sold.<\/p><p>\u201cThe full implications of this compendious work could well alter all fields of medicine if research based on these ideas bear fruit.\u201d \u2014 W.A.C. Mutch, MD, FRCPC, Professor of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, Director Neuroanesthesia Research Laboratory, Kleysen Institute for Advanced Medicine Researcher, Health Sciences Centre at the\u00a0University of Manitoba.<\/p><p>\u201cThe core theory with mechanisms and some practical applications are extremely insightful and should not be missed by anyone interested in their own health or in how our medical and research system is searching in unhelpful domains and applying less than helpful theoretical applications. [Dr. Coleman\u2019s] book and its theory need to find their way into the minds of our current thought leaders and funding recipients and anyone actually trying to reduce human diseases.\u201d
