50 Years Lost in Medical Advance: The Discovery of the Mammalian Stress Mechanism
Postulated by the Stress Theory of Hans Selye
This website is dedicated to the restoration of stress theory as the prevailing paradigm of medical research, and to the reform and revolution of our misguided health care system.
Lewis Coleman, MD
Lewis S. Coleman is a board-certified American anesthesiologist who completed his BS degree in biology at the Ohio State University, obtained his MD degree from New York Medical College, and completed his surgical internship and anesthesiology residency at UCLA, followed by 40 years in private practice. Coleman’s basic sciences instruction at NYMC miraculously coincided with the two-year sojourn of Dr. Johannes Rhodin, who was retained by the school to reform its curriculum. Dr. Rhodin was a famous researcher and expert on the stress theory of Hans Selye. His lectures devastated the dogma of classical physiology and convinced Coleman that stress theory represented the future of medicine. Many years later, these lectures enabled Coleman to identify Selye’s long-sought stress mechanism.
Illnesses do not come upon us out of the blue. They are developed from small daily sins against Nature. When enough sins have accumulated, illnesses will suddenly appear.

What is stress theory?
Stress theory is a powerful medical theory that is closely associated with DNA theory. It postulates that a single “stress mechanism” enables embryological development and governs physiology, including breathing, blood flow, heart function, digestion, excretion, immune activity, hormone release, tissue maintenance, and tissue repair. Excessive and unremitting combinations of environmental stresses cause harmful stress mechanism hyperactivity that manifests as disease. Such stresses include fear, anxiety, trauma, surgery, excessive radiation, pesticides, herbicides, food additives, chlorinated water, automobile exhaust, industrial pollution, and bacterial and viral infections.

“Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing else but medicine on a large scale. Medicine, as a social science, as the science of human beings, has the obligation to point out problems and to attempt their theoretical solution: the politician, the practical anthropologist, must find the means for their actual solution. The physicians are the natural attorneys of the poor, and social problems fall to a large extent within their jurisdiction.”

New Book!
The Great Medical Hoax of the 20th Century
This book explains how Dr. Chauncey Leake and Dr. Ralph Waters schemed to besmirch the reputation of the nurse-anesthetists who dominated anesthesia service in the aftermath of WWI, and replace the nurses with MD anesthesiologists. They did this by fabricating false accounts of medical disasters and perverted animal research to support the notion that carbon dioxide is “toxic waste, like urine, that must be rid from the body.”
50 Years Lost in Medical Advance
This book describes what may one day be remembered as the most important theoretical advance in medical history. The worldwide warfare of the 20th century produced an era of research rigor, vigor, integrity, and progress that inspired a prominent physician researcher named Hans Selye to hypothesize that a “stress mechanism” regulates physiology and explains disease.
“Medical education does not exist to provide students with a way of making a living, but to ensure the health of the community.”
