Stress, Killing Off Your Life (Part 2)By Dr. Greg Fors
In the last health issue of the Tidbits we explored how mostof today’s ailments can be traced back to stress. We explored the role of the adrenal glands in this process. We saw how our adrenal glandshelp us adapt to stress by releasing specific hormones to help us navigate our modern lifestyle. However, in states of chronic stresshigh levels of these hormones can cause damage. Furthermore wediscovered that eventually adrenal glands can become exhaustedleading to possible deficiencies states of hormones like adrenaline,cortisol and DHEA leading to Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome and all itsproblems. We discussed the importance of proper testing such aswith the Adrenal Stress Index Test to find out exactly what stage you are in and how to treat it. A vital part of the stress response involves your autonomicnervous system, specifically known as the sympathetic andparasympathetic nervous system. Under conditions of chronic stressthese two parts of the autonomic nervous system become imbalancedleading to severe symptoms of tension, anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue, hypertension, high cholesterol, blood sugar, poor healingand much more. The sympathetic nervous systems (SNS) primary goal is your survival and along with your adrenal gland it elicits your ‘fight for your life or run for your life’ stress response. The sympathetic/adrenal response is triggered by perceived physical and emotionalthreats. In modern life neither one is usually an appropriate choice,we cannot get out of our car and run from a traffic jam or punch our boss. This sympathetic/adrenal response is meant to be onlyactivated in dire circumstances and only very short term. Over time stress and sympathetic nervous system dominance createstremendous damage to our body and brain leading to chronic anddegenerative disease, if not brought under control. Symptoms andillnesses associated with a sympathetic dominance are: fast heartrate, palpitations, arrhythmias, hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease, high blood sugars, type 1 diabetes, poor sleep, insomnia, nervousness, fear, anxiety, panic attacks, difficulty concentrating,cold hands and feet and headaches. Sounds a bit like a laundry listof the modern ailments of today! The other side of your autonomic nervous system, calledthe parasympathetic nervous system, has qualities which give us theability to relax, rest, restore, and rejuvenate the brain and body. Ingeneral it is the parasympathetic mode that allows your body andbrain to heal. In a healing response the nervous system shifts from a sympathetic state to a parasympathetic mode. Also in this meditativehealing state the brain waves shift from beta, to alpha and then finally to the deeply relaxed theta brain waves. Through accessing the parasympathetic mode and an increased theta brain wave statethe body/mind can rebalance itself chemically, hormonally and neurologically to help initiate real healing. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if there was some way to bring individuals back into this balanced state of healing! As a chiropracticneurologist I have found certain computerized assistive technologiesthat can assist patients in achieving healing states of balancedsympathetic/parasympathetic function with increased theta brain waves activation. Along with nutritional support I have found themto be extremely helpful in healing the ravages of stress. One of the primary technologies I utilize is HeartMath, a sophisticated form of biofeedback that helps teach patients to get into the parasympathetic healing state sometimes referred to as personal coherence. Another assistive technology that I utilizewith great success to help achieve an optimal healing state is theBrain Wave Audio/Visual Entrainment device or Brain AVE. Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) uses flashes of lights and pulses of tonesto gently and safely guide you into various brain wave patterns to boost your mood, help with sleep, sharpen your mind, increase yourlevel of relaxation and improve healing. These exceptional healing modalities will be discussed anddemonstrated at my upcoming Stress and Healing Workshops. Iwill also discuss how you can conquer this baffling and disablinghealth problem.

► On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire becomes the ninth and last necessary state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, thereby making the document the law of the land. Massachusetts had initially opposed the document as it failed to reserve undelegated powers to the states.
► On June 23, 1902, German automaker Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) fi rst registers “Mercedes” as a brand name. The famous Mercedes symbol, a three-point star, was registered as a trademark in 1909.
► On June 24, 1915, young German fi ghter pilot Oswald Boelcke makes the fi rst operational fl ight of the Fokker Eindecker plane. The Fokker was equipped with machine guns that could fi re straight ahead through the aircraft’s propellers. The precise timing of the propeller blades allowed them to avoid being struck by the machine gun bullets.
► On June 18, 1923, the fi rst Checker Cab rolls off the line at the Checker Cab Manufacturing Company in Kalamazoo, Mich. The shipment stood out as a major landmark in the history of the company, which by then employed some 700 people.
► On June 20, 1980, in a match in Montreal, Roberto Duran out-points “Sugar” Ray Leonard to win the World Boxing Council welterweight title. Yet, fi ve months later in a rematch, with less than 30 seconds left in the eighth round, Duran looked at the referee and famously uttered
the words “no mas” or “no more,” giving up.
► On June 29, 1613, the Globe Theater, where most of Shakespeare’s plays debuted, burns down. The Globe was built in 1599 from the timbers of London’s very fi rst permanent theater, Burbage’s Theater. The galleries could seat about 1,000 people, with room for another 2,000 “groundlings,” who could stand around the stage.
► On June 28, 1888, writer Robert Louis Stevenson and his family leave San Francisco for their fi rst visit to the South Seas. Stevenson, an adventurous traveler plagued by tuberculosis, was seeking a healthier climate. His novel “Treasure Island” was published in 1883.
► On June 26, 1948, in response to the Soviet blockade of land routes into West Berlin, the United States begins a massive airlift of food, water and medicine to the citizens of the besieged city. For nearly a year, supplies from American planes sustained the more than 2 million people in West Berlin.
► On June 25, 1956, the last Packard rolls off the production line at Packard’s plant in Detroit. The classic American luxury car used the famously enigmatic slogan “Ask the Man Who Owns One.”
► On June 30, 1962, Sandy Koufax strikes out 13 batters and walks fi ve to lead the Brooklyn Dodgers over the New York Mets 5-0 with his fi rst career no-hitter. Koufax went on to throw three more no-hitters, including a perfect game on Sept. 9, 1965, in which he allowed no hits and
no walks.
► On July 1, 1979, the Sony Walkman -- the world’s fi rst low-cost, portable music player -- goes on sale in Japan. The initial production run of 30,000 units looked to be too ambitious, as only 3,000 were sold at $150 apiece in the fi rst month. Some 200 million sales later, Sony retired the cassette Walkman in 2010.

• French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur is best known for creating the method of pasteurization to keep milk and wine from spoiling in addition to creating vaccines for a number of diseases including rabies. Oddly enough, when Pasteur was in school, his teachers considered him to only be mediocre at chemistry. • All coffee fanatics have Melitta Bentz to thank. Bentz was a typical German housewife that went on to invent the coffee fi lter, 300 years after coffee had been discovered. She revolutionized the idea of using paper to fi lter out the unwanted residues. • Before he made his contributions to our knowledge about space (as well as creating his many inventions), Italian born Galileo Galilei wanted to be a musician. His father insisted that he go to medical school, yet Galilei never received his degree from the University of Pisa. He did, however, go on to publish “The Starry Messenger,” presenting among many other fi ndings that Earth was not the center of the universe. • Although he might have found proof for the Earth not being the center of the universe, Galilei was not the fi rst
to introduce this concept. Mathematician and astronomer Nicholas Copernicus fi rst claimed that the sun was the stationary object that Earth revolved around. His idea was disregarded by most, but he is credited as the initiator of the Scientifi c Revolution. • German chemist Robert Bunsen is famous for the Bunsen burner, although he never actually invented the iconic scientifi c tool; he merely improved it. !• Although most scientists get their start in universities, it is only appropriate that Laszlo Jozsef Biro, inventor of the ball point pen, began as a journalist and editor. His brilliant idea stemmed from his annoyance at writing with a fountain pen.• Changing forever the music industry, German immigrant Emile Berliner revolutionized sound recording by being the fi rst person to start recording on fl at disks or records. He went on to invent the gramophone and records. Did you know that the fi rst records were made of glass long before they switched to plastic?• Marie Curie, one of the most famous female scientists, is celebrated for her discovery of the mysterious element radium. She completely altered the way scientists thought about matter and energy and paved the way for the treatment of
many diseases.• Glorifi ed for his work with atomic theory, England native John Dalton achieved his fi ndings due to his high interest in meteorology. He kept weather records until his death and published a book titled “Meteorological Observations.” He later went on to explain his conclusions about atoms in “New System of Chemical Philosophy.”• Scottish scientist James Watt was considered a “delicate” child and spent a great deal of his childhood homeschooled by his mother and was considered slow in many academic areas — except for math. Watt eventually invented the steam engine, and after Parliament granted him a patent that prevented anyone else from making a similar machine, Watt went on to control a steam engine dynasty. • Known as the Father of Geometry, ancient Greek Mathematician Euclid published his ideas in “The Elements,” and his teachings infl uenced Western mathematics for more than 2,000 years. Since it is estimated that he lived from 325 BC-265 BC, little is known about his life.• Born into a prominent family of wealth, Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro followed in his family’s footsteps to practice law but couldn’t shake his interest in the natural sciences. He studied physics and math in private for years
before he published his hypothesis about molecules that was eventually labeled Avogadro’s Law.• Immensely famous for his printing press, Johannes Gutenberg began as a goldsmith and businessman before making his contributions as a scientist and inventor. Gutenberg forever altered the method and speed by which books were distributed to the public.• German physicist Wilhelm Rontgen is known for discovering X-rays and received great recognition for his fi ndings, including streets named in his honor, countless awards and the Nobel Prize in Physics.• German physician and bacteriologist Robert Koch made a discovery that changed medicine forever: All diseases were not caused by bad air but instead by bacteria. He was able to fi nd the causes of such deadly diseases of tuberculosis, cholera and the cycle of anthrax. Koch won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1905.• Although he was expected to enter the medical fi eld, Frederick Sanger’s interest in nature and science was too strong. Because of his work with proteins and DNA, Sanger won two Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, one in 1958 and one in 1980. He was the fi rst person to fi nd a protein sequence.

■ Line the bottom of your dog’s food dish (underside) with silicone caulk. Use a crisscross pattern in the center. This will keep the dish from sliding around when your pet eats.
■ Want quick-cooking meatloaf? Use muffi n tins to bake cute, easy portions. The same
meat mixture will cook in half the time and be just as tasty. Use mashed potatoes to “frost” these dinner “cupcakes”!
■ To soothe minor burns in the kitchen, use the cut side of a raw potato pressed into the burn area for a minute or two.
■ “Personal appliances can get very dirty and can harbor many species of bacteria. One of the worst, in my opinion, is the cellphone. Make sure you clean it regularly by wiping front and back surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol.
■ Grilling season is in full swing. A great way to clean the grill surface is by using a wad of aluminum foil. It can be pressed into the grate to get all the gunk off, both before or after grilling.
■ “I love my windowbox planters, but I would always get dirt splashed on my windows or the sill when it rained. My friend advised me to put a shallow layer of small gravel over the dirt. It looks nice and there is no splatter after watering or rain.” Ð R.L. in Washington
■ To remove sticky residue from photo frames, try hairspray. Spray on, let sit for just a minute, then wipe off.

Junk food might be defi ned as “food that contributes lots of calories but has little nutritional value.” Let’s learn a little more about a few not-so-healthy choices. • What’s for breakfast? If you choose a bowl of Trix cereal, that product will be 38 percent sugar and will add a little red, yellow and blue dye to your system. How about some Froot Loops? Your portion will be 41 percent sugar, unless you opt for the marshmallow version, which computes to 48 percent sugar and more of those dyes. If you’re cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, you’ll have a 44 percent ratio of sugar. A healthier choice would be Wheat Chex or Shredded Wheat, both at less than 3 percent sugar.• In 1930, baker James Dewar was dismayed that the strawberry season was so short; it was limiting his sales of shortcakes. In order to prolong his sales past the fresh fruit season, he experimented with fi lling his sponge cakes with cream. He called them “Twinkle Toes Shoes,” but the name was later shortened to “Twinkies.” Hostess bakes up about 500 million Twinkies a year, each with about 150 calories. That creamy center is no longer cream at all, but rather mostly Crisco shortening. • When Pringles debuted in October 1968 in their signature cylindrical can, they were known as Pringles Newfangled Potato Chips. Other manufacturers immediately objected, claiming that the product was not a potato chip at all, considering that only 42 percent of the snack is potato-based product, with the remainder composed
of wheat starch and corn and rice fl ours. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration ordered the company to change the name to “potato crisps.” The snack was named for a street in Cincinnati, Pringle Drive, spotted by a Procter & Gamble employee. • The American Dietetic Association recommends a maximum daily caloric intake of 2,000 calories for a sedentary adult and a maximum of 60 grams of fat. Order up a Big Mac with a super-sized Coke and fries, and you’ll ingest 1,460 calories and 58 grams of fat. That’s a pretty scary fi gure when you consider that the average person visits McDonalds 1,811 times in his or her lifetime. Want to burn off that McDonalds lunch? It will take you seven straight hours of walking to burn off the above meal.• Although popcorn seems to fi ll up the box of Cracker Jacks, it’s not the principal ingredient — sugar and corn syrup are. This tasty snack was introduced at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, but the box didn’t contain a toy prize until 1912. • In addition to being high in calories, soda pop can lead to signifi cant tooth enamel loss. The acids in soft drinks are nearly as corrosive to enamel as battery acid. In an experiment conducted by dentists, one group of children were given a can of pop every day for three years, and another group, water. The pop drinkers had 50 to 150 percent more tooth decay! • Snickers, the most popular candy bar in the world, is a 280-calorie treat with 14 grams of fat. It takes 100 tons of peanuts to produce the 15 million bars manufactured daily. Frank Mars, founder of the Mars candy company, named the confection after the Mars family’s favorite horse. • Visit your local 31-fl avor ice cream parlor and ask for a double-scoop. With 31 varieties, there are 496 different combinations you could receive.
Big Ben is a well-known symbol of London, towering above the Parliament buildings. Here is a collection of facts you may not know about this famous landmark. • When you think of Big Ben, the tall tower surely comes to mind, but the moniker actually applies to the bell housed within the clock tower, offi cially known as the Great Bell. It is most likely named after London’s fi rst Commissioner for works, Sir Benjamin Hall, and his name is inscribed on the bell. It was originally intended that it would be called the Royal Victoria bell. • The tower itself is named, not so creatively, the Clock Tower and is the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world. It’s the third tower to be built on Parliament’s grounds. The fi rst was begun in 1288 during the reign of King Edward I and also contained a clock and a bell named Great Edward, which was rung on the hour. This was replaced in 1367 with England’s fi rst public chiming clock. It stood for 340 years.• When a devastating fi re destroyed much of the palace of Westminster in 1834, the plans to rebuild did not include a new tower. These plans were altered to include it in 1836, but actual construction of the current Clock Tower did not begin until 1843. Construction continued for nearly 16 years. When the clock was fi nally installed, it was discovered that it wouldn’t work because the cast iron minute hands were too heavy! They were replaced with lighter copper hands, and the four-sided clock began keeping time in May of 1859. The Great Bell known as Big Ben wasn’t rung for the fi rst time until that July. • Just as the Clock Tower isn’t the fi rst, neither is Big Ben the fi rst bell.
The fi rst one developed a four-inch crack while it was being tested in 1857, and a new one was cast. Sixteen white horses pulled a carriage carrying the bell to the New Palace Yard. It took 18 hours to raise the bell into the belfry. Late in 1859, two fractures were found in Big Ben. The hammer was replaced with a lighter version, and the bell was rotated so that an undamaged section would be struck. This second bell still resides in the Tower. • The tower is 316 feet (96.3 m) tall, about 16 stories. Each of the clock’s four dials is 23 feet square (49.15 sq. m). The minute hands are 14 feet (4.26 m) long, while the numerals are two feet (0.6 m) tall. The base of each dial contains a Latin inscription, which translates “O Lord, keep safe our Queen Victoria the First.” • During World War I, the bell was not rung, and the clock was unlit at night to protect it from German Zeppelin attacks. During World War II, the bells were rung, but also from a darkened tower. • Although it’s one of the world’s most famous tourist attractions, only United Kingdom residents are allowed
inside to tour Big Ben. Tours must be booked well in advance only through a Parliament member, with parties limited to 16 people, who must climb the 334 stairs to the top of its 11 fl oors, since there is no elevator.

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest town, which he planned to visit on his vacation. He wrote, “I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?” An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who said, “I’ve been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I’ve never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls. I’ve never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And I’ve never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel, and if your dog will vouch for you, you’re welcome to stay here, too!”
