The term “stress mechanism” has been a central focus of medical research for decades. Rooted in Hans Selye’s stress theory, this mechanism plays a pivotal role in regulating physiological processes. The emerging understanding of the mammalian stress mechanism is reshaping… Read More »What Is Mammalian Stress Mechanism
The stress mechanism provides powerful insight into evolution and the succession of life on earth — the rise of the dinosaurs, and then the rise of the mammals. Stress mechanisms evolve just as do the organisms that depend on them for adaptation to the environment. Much of the history of animal evolution involves blood turbulence. But there is a price to pay for every advantage…
Normally the stress mechanism works quietly and unobtrusively to repair tissues and regulate organs, but when it becomes hyperactive it harmfully depletes its substrates, disrupts organ function, and damages tissues. These harmful effects manifest as disease. Seemingly unrelated stresses activate… Read More »Stress Theory, Critical Illness — and COVID-19
It is an open secret that conventional medical theory cannot explain cancer or offer effective treatments. Cancer is the most compelling of all medical subjects.(1) For most of medical history it has been regarded as a mysterious systemic sickness with… Read More »Cancer and the Mammalian Stress Mechanism
