    About this ebook

    This book explores the root causes of stress and offers solutions and alternatives to resorting to medications.
    It discusses multi-faceted aspects of stress: physical, emotional, and spiritual. It examines stresses found in child and parental relationships, societal stress and suicides, and stress due to working conditions and sleep deprivation. It also focuses on food choices and how allergic sensitivities play a part in the development of stress, as well as the role that GMOs, pollution, soil depletion, the EPA, and toxins play in the development of stress.
    This book offers a way to rate your own stress numerically based on work and lifestyle, and suggests drug-free solutions such as life style changes, from meditation, to CBT, and mindfulness.
    Dr. Herbert I. Shuck, N.D., M.Sc. has dual degrees in Pharmacy and Naturopathic Medicine. He spent 20 years in practice as a family medicine practitioner.

      Introduction

      I t would seem that leaving the year 2016 without mentioning some insights into what has been a turbulent year would border on negligence. In Judaic Biblical terms, we all welcome the coming of Messiah to bring peace in the world. What precedes this, however is the Battle of Gog and Magog where society will self-destruct and survivors will build a new civilization of peaceful coexist ence.

      The years 2014 to 2016 have been the most turbulent on a physical level: earthquakes in Japan and Asia, tsunamis in the Philippines, flooding in Asia, tornadoes and drought in the Midwest and other parts of the US, volcanic eruptions in Italy and South America, and rising sea levels, especially in coastal areas of the US—at least 11 inches or more in New York and Boston, Charleston, Atlantic City, Norfolk, and Galveston, Texas. Fossil fuel emissions and the heat-trapping of greenhouse gases, warming of the oceans with melting of glaciers and ice sheets also drive sea creatures and fish to seek cooler waters instead of traditional habitats. It can also disrupt reproduction from toxic sewage and plastics dumping. Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, still dumps raw sewage into Guanabara Bay where the 2016 Olympics were held.

      On a mental/emotional level, stress in our society continues to rise with increased robotic production and fewer workers being pressured to increase productivity. Continuing mergers and cost-cutting further reduces workers. Made in the USA used to be a mark of pride and quality, but the auto industry, for example, has had record recalls in the past several years.

      On a humanistic level, personal violence has reached unprecedented levels with school, home, and workplace killings in the US and overseas—slaughter of families in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Darfur, and other areas of South Africa, Asia, Syria (over 400,000), and in Egypt (Coptic Christians).

      There has been unrest and public riots in China, Russia, Turkey, and other countries. In the US, it is particularly troubling that despite shootings and pleading of concerned parties, stricter gun control is consistently blocked by the National Rifle Association (NRA).

      One of the primary causes of violence is mental illness in the young, particularly with teenagers who go undiagnosed and either turn their weapons on their peers and then commit suicide or survive to end up in prison. Mental illness has many facets—harassment or abuse by peers for being different, which can result in suicide. In sports, there are more suicides again from harassment or stress created by peers or undiagnosed, untreated depression.

      In the Armed Services, screening for mental illness should be part of the complete physical exam. Discharged servicemen and women, especially those who have been in battle should be routinely offered counseling and be screened for suicidal ideation or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Families of service personnel should be alerted for signs in returning spouses of depression, insomnia or suicidal thoughts with lack of employment.

      A final disturbing note from a father whose life was spared only by the fact that he was at work, not at home, because his 40 year old son killed the rest of the family including a 6-month old baby. The father had been trying for 20 years to get his schizophrenic son committed to mental hospitals but he was routinely released to live at home.

      Lastly, a headline of an ex-combat veteran back from Afghanistan who killed innocent bystanders in a drug house over the narcotic, oxycodone/APAP. The vet was diagnosed as bipolar and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Mental health issues such as these appear to be more prominent when there is increased societal
