More than 70%-80% of all illnesses that people seek out medical help for have a stress-related component. This is the part of medicine that baffles most traditional practitioners. They just tell their patients, "reduce your stress and you will feel better." This would be helpful if only the practitioner could take the time to educate each patient about what stress is and the potential long term effects of stress on their health. If you suffer from stress or stress-related illnesses then you must read this book. You will learn what stress is and what you can do to avoid the long term, destructive effects of stress. This book is full of helpful charts and diagrams specially created to convey a better understanding of the stress-illness-stress-wellness process. Learn how to listen to what your body is trying to tell you. The Lawrences' wish for all who read this book is to live a long, healthy and productive life.
