Additional information about stress
Stress is defined as any mental or bodily tension resulting from factors which tend to alter an existent equilibrium. Chronic stress can lead to distress, often experienced as emotional or physical pain, fatigue or depression, psychiatric and medical disorders and/or dysfunctional behaviors. Listed below are 12 kinds of chronic stress. The problem currently in our fragmented, superspecialized, healthcare system, is that treatments only focus on one or a few of these areas, and can’t see the holistic forest because of being preoccupied with the tress.
12 Kinds of Chronic Stress
1) Emotional Stress (e.g., losses, post-traumatic)
2) Cognitive Stress (e.g., irrational demands)
3) Sensory Stress (e.g., chronic pain disorders)
4) Metabolic Stress (e.g., low/high blood sugar)
5) Toxic Stress (e.g., heavy metals, chlorine)
6) Immune Stress (e.g., autoimmune, allergy)
7) Infectious Stress (e.g., lyme, candida, GI )
8 ) Purposelessness Stress (e.g., no spirituality)
9) Endocrine Stress (e.g., hormonal, PMS, aging)
10) Oxidative Stress (e.g., vein/arterial blockage)
11) Energetic Stress (e.g., electromagnetic, geopathic)
12) Neurotransmitter Stress (e.g., serotonin)
All of these 12 types of chronic stress listed above can add up to a total stress load (one, a few or many of the 12 types of chronic stress above). The objective of all treatments for chronic medical or psychiatric disorders, in one way or another, is to alleviate the total stress load, so that the body (and brain) can move out of the degenerative, emergency, fight/flight state and enter a regenerative, parasympathetic, rest and digest state, where authentic healing can occur.
Healing is stymied as long as a degenerative, total-stress-load-driven, sympathetic, fight/flight state continues. For those who prefer scientific excellence, the technical term for this cause of all chronic medical or psychiatric disorders is called dysautonomia (142,000 website hits on Google). The non-technical term for dysautonomia is called suffering, and living in fight (anger/resentments from an illusory past) and flight (anxiety/fear from an illusory future) prevents one from exist in “the now.
Our mind/body “prefers” to exist in its regenerative, here-and-now, healing, rest/digest mode, but will temporarily sacrifice that to deal with brief emergencies, which should only last a matter of a few agitation-, anger-, fear-driven minutes and then immediately allow a reversion to the parasympathetic, rest/digest, regenerative mode. The problem is that our mind/body can spend so much time in chronic stress and distress due to an unremitting total stress load (see 12 Kinds of Stress above), that it spends insufficient time in the healing, parasympathetic, rest/digest mode, so healing cannot occur and chronic psychiatric and medical disorders result, as well as accelerated aging, preoccupation with hate and fear and premature death.
But even after chronic, severe, degenerative, distress and a total stress load has battered the mind/body for years or decades, please know that it always reversible. Getting to the root cause(s) by addressing all 12 types of chronic stress listed above (total stress load) through diagnostic testing and professional assistance, can reset the baseline mind/body back to its preferred condition, the regenerative, parasympathetic, rest/digest condition. For authentic healing to ever occur, this is the most important factor in addressing any chronic medical or psychiatric condition.
Please submit your health questions during the webinar, and Dr. Gant will answer your questions. This webinar is not meant to diagnose or treat disease, but to provide education and information, so please keep your questions to a general nature. Those questions not answered due to time constraints will be answered in future webcasts.
