Your Brain on Stress and NO Sleep


STRESS – The Trillion Dollar Killer!

Stress is the trigger of all major diseases. Heart attacks, fatal strokes, brain hemorrhages and cardiac arrest are now our most common killers.

Studies have linked stress with cancer and heart disease for years, but the reality is, stress causes inflammation, and chronic inflammatory response is being linked to almost every illness known to man – obesity, autoimmune disorders like AIDS, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, etc.

It is imperative we to learn how to RELAX! It is definitely a lost art we need to reclaim! Do you even remember the last time you were able to get 8 FULL hours of sleep EVERY single night?

Stress is a natural response reaction to internal and external conditions, elevating alertness and our immune system response. A little stress is good, but prolonged stress leads to fatigue, lack of sleep and irritability, damages personal relationships and creates long-term health issues.

Our brains cannot survive this onslaught of stress and inflammation unscathed. Heightened, prolonged levels of cortisol in our bloodstream can be fatal!

Cortisol is called the “stress hormone”, secreted by the adrenal glands in high levels in response to stress. Small doses of cortisol are good – giving us bursts of energy to survive our “fight or flight” response.

Our bodies were designed to relax and rest after a stressful event, allowing cortisol levels to drop and return to normal. Unfortunately, in our always-on-the-go lifestyle today, we do not take the time to slow down and recover. Instead we throw ourselves into a state of chronic stress.

Prolonged, heightened levels of cortisol in our bloodstream have very negative effects – impairing mental performance, suppressing thyroid function, upsetting blood sugar balance, raises blood pressure, increases abdominal fat causing a plethora of other issues, and lowering immunity and inflammatory response.

Alzheimer's – the Cause and the Answer?

Last month we kicked off an on-going series on the debilitating diseases that are destroying our way of life here in America. The first in this series was a two-part article on Alzheimer’s.

Hidden away in the concluding chapter was a nugget of pure gold, that could be the greatest discovery yet in fighting Alzheimer’s and most importantly, preventing it from happening. I decided to devote a full article to this extraordinary “nugget of gold” because it holds so much hope and promise for each and every one of us, particularly for those trying to cope with this terrible and tragic disease.

Ritalin is Rubbish

One of the most tragic occurrences in our society over the past 20 years, has been the epidemic of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). And the related epidemic of Autism. Our children are mentally non-functional.

And the drug-doctor’s answer is what? Another drug, Ritalin, which turns children into zombies and teaches them to be drug addicts while they are young. There is another answer.

What Really Causes Lupus and MS‏

“Right now here in America, there is an epidemic of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Systemic Lupus. I get at least two cases each week from desperate parents seeking help for their child or a loved one.

I’ve always thought that the underlying cause of these systemic and nervous system diseases were somehow related to some alien poison in our food and drink. And I was right!”

Are Milk and Cheese Rotting Your Brain?‏

Are the cells of your brain dying a dismal death?  Could they be without you knowing?

Such a cellular death leads to the end of  life, a rotten brain full of holes and early-onset Alzheimer’s. It can totally ruin any joy in old age, by subjecting you to life as a zombie with constant care in a nursing home.

The latest link to rapid onset brain disease supports a dramatic and terrifying link between high dairy consumption, Mad Cow Disease and early-onset Alzheimer’s.
