In today's episode I discussed the ramifications of stress. Studies have shown that 40% of deaths and 70% of diseases in the United States are related, in whole or in part , to stress (A.Mokdad et.Al., "Actural Causes of Death in the United States, 2000, "Journal of the American Medical Association 2004)." Dr. Huber mentioned in the previous episode a list of illness related to chronic stress includes heart disease, diabetes, cancer, headaches, ulcers, lower back pain, depression and the common cold. The increases in rates of suicide, homicide, hate crimes, alcohol and drug abuse, and domestic violence across the United States are additional symptoms of a nation under stress (source: "Health the Basics", by Rebecca Donatelle).
