I am a Doctor of Chiropractic and the founder of a new alternative spine based methodology which deals with emotions. My investigations have led me to believe that everybody, without exception, carries emotional aberrations. The unfortunate reality is, that under certain circumstances, these aberrations can cause ill health. Scientific research today confirms what grandmothers have been saying for centuries our emotions can make us sick. Scientists have found emotional stress factors compromise health in a wide variety of conditions and with devastating impact.
Stress can alter the cholesterol levels even when the diet remains unchanged.
Indeed stress plays a part in a huge number of conditions. Just a very few of these include high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, respiratory ailments, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, cold sores, shingles, hives, gastritis, migraine headache, chronic backache, and an entire spectrum of endocrine and autoimmune problems. The entire list is immense. Emotions contribute to crime and other maladaptive destructive behavior, poor job performance and as we all know, to far too many family and other relationship problems. Emotional stress influences other parts of the health pyramid.
