Stress

Your body’s reaction to stress is genetically encoded with a “fight or flight” response.  Our ancestors experienced stress when a Tyrannosaurus Rex was at the entrance of their cave, and their bodies got ready to fight it or run away from it.  We encounter a different kind of stress today, but our stress response remains the same.  Your adrenal glands release the neurotransmitter adrenaline, leading to an increase in heart rate and respiration.  You needed that when you were in imminent danger of being eaten by a dinosaur, but not when the car in front of you cuts you off.

Stress Leads to More Stress

There are many types of stress including weddings and births, finances, funerals, relationships and work.  Whether it’s good or bad stress, the overall effect is the same.  Your adrenal glands pump out more cortisol hormone.  Stressed out people have high levels of cortisol.  This leads to high blood pressure, adrenal burn-out and a weakened immune system.  It also diminishes your ability to fight infection and decreases your reserves to deal with more stress.  It’s a vicious cycle.

Relieve the Pressure

There are standard recommendations such as relaxation, light exercise, eating whole foods and fresh vegetables, more rest, and so on.  Most patients, however, want immediate stress relief and find it in a series of vitamin mineral injections.  Loaded with B vitamins, special German natural medicines and magnesium for relaxation, these injections target your nervous system to calm you down.  Boosting your immune system is critical to combat stress and prevent further occurrences.  The Vital Signs test quantifies how much stress you are experiencing.  Retests during treatment provide measures of progress and improvement.

Stress Gets Physical

If testing indicates that your stress has manifested itself into a physiological condition, no matter how much you try to calm down, you probably can’t.  Even when you are sleeping, internally your body is still churning over, stressed to the max.  Recovery then requires a concerted effort with advanced medicines and therapies to break the cycle and get you back on track.  At this point, it is necessary to measure cortisol levels with specialized hormone testing to determine if they are elevated.

De-Stress

It would be amazing if there was a magic pill (and wand) that took away all our troubles and worries.  There isn’t.  And people are under so much stress these days, that just relaxing and taking it easy is not sufficient.  In fact, a lot of stress has crossed over from the emotional to the physical side.  Fortunately, there are effective natural medicines and therapies that can relieve the pressure and reduce your stress.
