Stress And Diseases Pt2 4/5 User Manual 4 Humans

still there

so that's why it's so important to

understand this stuff and to learn how

to adapt the lifestyle where you

modulate your stress a little bit better

so what happens when we have a prolonged

stress now instead of adaptive we have a

maladaptive stress response

so now

you have a decreased immune response

your immune system doesn't work anymore

whereas before you had an increase

temporary increase in alertness now you

have a decrease in memory and learning

you have a decrease in reproductive

function

and here's a big one

whereas before you had an increase in

pain tolerance

because that helps you survive your

grizzly bear over time this breaks down

and you have a decreased pain tolerance

with chronic stress this is a huge

factor in why so many people are

experiencing pain for no other reason

there's no organic there's no real cause

for the pain except their their

sympathetics and parasympathetics are

miswired so they perceive pain because

they have a reduced stress uh pain

tolerance

uh also skin conductance

this isn't necessarily life-threatening

but it's worth noticing

in an acute stress response your skin

conductance goes up but with a chronic

stress response you cannot wear out

that response it says I'm I'm tired I'm

not going to respond anymore so you get

chronically dry hands

so let's look at the rest of it we get

an increase

with insulin resistance and therefore

weight

we get an increase in fatigue we get an

increase in chronic blood pressure

called hypertension

and this is the big one it's the biggest

selling medication you see half the list

of the popular drugs or blood pressure

medication

and in the medical books it is called

essential hypertension

that means they don't know where it

comes from

and

if you read the textbook it's right

there

this increases blood pressure that is

the cause

but because they can't find a physical

molecule that they can pin it on they

say it's unknown

okay it really beats me but

we have increase in respiratory problems

we have an increase in opportunistic

infections because of the reduced immune

response

we have an increase in bone

decalcification

that's osteoporosis

we have an increase in autoimmune

disorders

psoriatic arthritis rheumatoid arthritis

we have an increase in strokes and

cardiovascular disease and we have an

increase in digestive illness

so do you see how

all of these these three slides how

perfectly and exactly they fit together

and how that there it really is no

disease out there that is not a stress

problem

they have officially recognized that 95

of all doctors visits are stress related

I think that's an understatement because

I think

the anything that's not an acute trauma

like a car accident or a broken bone or

a gunshot or a knife wound those those

are traumas I think everything else is

stress

absolutely everything there may be an

exception here or there but

so

all of these Mysteries now that when you

read the magazines and the journals and

and they say well we don't know what

causes it we don't know well now you

know

it's right there

and all you have it's and

this is not unknown it's not a secret

it's in it's in the introductory

textbook for medical physiology

it's just that nobody applies it because

and the reason we don't apply it is that

we are we're so biased we're so

hypnotized in believing that the

physicalness of our world is the most

real one

we don't believe in things we can see

and we can't see function it's harder to

quantify function than

than two inches of finger or a pound of

weight

those are very easy to quantify and and

that's why we're stuck in in this

erroneous model of the body where it's

all a machine with different parts that

we can manipulate

it's all about function it's all about

brain and how the brain allocates

resources in our body

based on the situation we're in

when there's a grizzly bear that's an

appropriate response when there is no

grizzly bear it's an inappropriate

response and that accounts for 99 of

medical bills

very good

any questions on that so far

get it all covered

so now let's just wrap up and talk about

what do we do about this

so everything in your body that isn't

working is a habit that's gotten stuck

everything that you've ever learned

every skill every pattern every belief

that you have is a neurological pattern

it is something that you receive a

certain stimulus you're like a Pavlov's

dog you just initiate that pattern you

kick it off and it runs automatically

that's where all of our reactions and

virtually all our Behavior comes from

so whatever is working or whatever isn't

working is a neurological pattern

so the first thing that we need to do

to change is to interrupt that pattern

we just there are many many ways of

doing that but we just need to interrupt

it one of the absolute most effective

ways is the Chiropractic adjustments and

we can show you the research we can show

you the neurophysiology that the

adjustment interrupts that pattern that

is what it does you can do this with

many different ways

you can change your thoughts you can

change your belief system you can start

meditating you can exercise

the problem is that it takes a lot of

growth and most of us for most of us

it's going to take years or decades to

get to that point where we can change

them on our own so in the meantime we

can get it kick-started by by getting

adjusted

now we've interrupted the pattern number

two we need to restore balance in the

nervous system

so

how does imbalance develop where does it

come from

well let's say that

first of all every cell in your body

needs food and stimulation

it's called use it or lose it

so how do you stimulate a brain cell

you send an electrical signal the brain

is designed to process electrical

signals so in order to stimulate and use

the brain you send an electrical signal

okay you stimulate a muscle cell by

putting tension on it because that's

what it's designed for you stimulate a

bone cell by putting weight on it in a

field of gravity because that's its

purpose

so how do you send electrical signals to

the brain is you fire off receptors

receptors are little things that sit all

over your body and inside the joints and

every millimeter of tissue has receptors

that convert

signals and movement and things in your

environment into electricity so that

your brain can process it
