This book studies the effects of stress on the human body. The authors examines how the human body handles stress.

Stress is a universal phenomenon, which affects millions of people each day. Its effects are far reaching and impact men and women of all ages. Stress related illnesses are linked to most physician visits each year and is responsible for countless sick days and absenteeism from work and school. The top ten leading prescription drugs in the United States are associated with stress related illnesses and Americans spend billions of dollars each year on prescription drugs. When stress related symptoms and the results of routine laboratory testing do not add up, symptom based medicine is the usual course of action. Multiple symptoms lead to multiple medications and unfortunately can lead to side effects and drug interactions. Routine laboratory testing is inadequate for identifying stress related illness; therefore, thousands go undiagnosed each year. The failure to recognize adrenal dysfunction, which is associated with many stress related illnesses, results in the misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment of disease symptoms. Until recently, the effects of stress could not be measured. However, with the advent of salivary adrenal cortisol hormone testing, physicians are now able to accurately measure stress related adrenal dysfunction. Identifying and correcting the underlying cause of stress related symptoms leads to the elimination of diseases and the return to optimal health with few, if any, adverse side effects.If you suspect that stress may be making you ill and keeping you from functioning at your very best then this book is a must read.
