Stress and DiseaseAccording to the American Institute of Stress:
• 43% of all adults suffer adverse health effects due to stress
• 75–90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related complaints or disorders

The association
between stress and
disease
is HUGE.

Stress and Disease• It is estimated that between 75–85% of all health-related problems are either precipitated or aggravated by stress.
![Page 8: Managing Stress 7E Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e2b5503460f94b1921c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Stress and Disease• It is estimated that between 75–85% of all health-related problems are either precipitated or aggravated by stress.
• The term “psychoneuroimmunology” was coined in the early 1980s to link the fields of psychology, neurology, and immunology to better understand the relationship between stress and disease.

The Borysenko Model
![Page 12: Managing Stress 7E Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e2b5503460f94b1921c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Borysenko Model
This model classifies disease using a matrix (or quadrant) with the nervous system and
immune system as the variables

The Pert Model
![Page 14: Managing Stress 7E Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e2b5503460f94b1921c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Candace Pert’s Research Findings• Academic stress lowers saliva immunoglobulin which is the first line of defense against upper respiratory diseases!• Academic stress lowers lymphocytes (white blood cells that help fight off disease!• Stress slows the healing process of wounds! • Stress (bereavement) lowers lymphocyte response!• Chronic stress accelerates the aging process!• Some emotions suppress the function of white blood cells and some emotions enhance their function!

The Lipton Model
![Page 16: Managing Stress 7E Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e2b5503460f94b1921c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Lipton Model
Lipton’s research at Stanford University revealed that cells have the ability to promote growth as well as the protection of their own integrity.
![Page 17: Managing Stress 7E Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e2b5503460f94b1921c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Lipton Model
Lipton’s research at Stanford University revealed that cells have the ability to promote growth as well as the protection of their own integrity.
They CANNOT do both functions at once!
![Page 18: Managing Stress 7E Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e2b5503460f94b1921c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Lipton Model
A biological environment of stress negates time and energy for cell growth and integrity.
A state of constant stress will ultimately compromise the integrity and vitality of not only the cell, but the entire biological system.

The Gerber Model
![Page 21: Managing Stress 7E Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e2b5503460f94b1921c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Gerber Model
The mind, as conscious and unconscious thoughts, exists as “subtle energy” that surrounds and permeates the body.
![Page 22: Managing Stress 7E Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e2b5503460f94b1921c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Gerber Model
The mind, as conscious and unconscious thoughts, exist as “subtle energy” that surrounds and permeates the body.
Stress-related symptoms that appear in the physical body are the manifestations of “problems” that have occurred earlier as disturbances at a “higher energy level.”

Each layer of subtle energy around the body vibrates at a specific oscillation. If one layer is out of tune, like a guitar string, then the entire energy field is affected.

“Thoughts are particles of energy. (Negative) thoughts are accompanied by emotions which also begin at the energy levels. As these particles of energy filter through, from the etheric level to the physical level, the end result Is immuno-incompetence.” —Richard Gerber, M.D.

The Pelletier Pre-Model
Ken Pelletier has been studying the relationship between stress and disease for decades. He believes that no model is complete until certain questions are answered; specifically, the topic of consciousness…also known as the “Ghost in the Machine.”
