Lots of people who seek medical care are left undiagnosed or inadequetly treated because most examination or test can'tfully determined the cause of their problem.
You might think that the greatest challenge to care is heart disease or cancer or even high blood pressure, but I think the greatest challenge is STRESS.
I heard of two stories this passed week: One is about a teacher who is in her forties, have been teaching for almost twenty years. This teacher said she cannot find time to date because she is stressed out marking papers. If as a teacher you allow rhe marking of papers stressed you out then it is time to take stock of yourself.
The next is : Last Sunday I was at church and hearh a brother said that sometimes he is driving he felt like he is going to black out. He went on to say that it is over six years he has not been to the doctor. Fear will bring on stress , like not wanting to go to the doctor.
Stress contribute to more than 50% of all illness and approximately 70% of all visits to the doctor are stress related.
BECAUSE OF stress cannot have enough sleep, causing them to suffer from insomnia, digestive problem which cause irritable bowel syndrome. STRESS also cause us to be depress which make it difficult for that person to concentrate on the job at hand.
To manage these symptoms you have to identify the root cause and remember that the major source could be in your sub conscious. Try to be relax, plan social activities go out an dates, listen to relaxing music. I have a CD with recordings of a water fall and birds chirping the forest.
Don't forget to take your a daily serving of fruits and veg , avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners.
When going to bed drink a cup of chamomile, kava, valerian or green tea.
Don't let the cares of the world keep you from having fun.

Hey Trev,
Awesome blog! I think your right. Another underlying cause of stress is simply the burden of the quality of life. If we are living above our financial means as well as our pysical means then there will be stress. I try to get away and hike in the woods for relief(phyisical)and my wife and I decided that we are going to live well within our financial means leaving plenty of money to support weekend getaways'.
Trevor, this is such necessary information for today's society!! Thanks for sharing!!
Did you ever have aspirations to be a doctor? I think you'd make a good one!! :)
Trevor has a better bedside manner than most of the doctors in the world. Has he missed his calling? There is always good info. and a "happiness" to a Trevor blog. In my simplistic view, stress is the devil.
