Hi Stace,

It's a fact. Some people really do live on stress. It's just that they typically don't live as long, because they truly "burn out".

Hey, I've recently run across information from a doctor here in the U.S. (Florida) that ties in pretty well with Dr. S. His name is Dr. Al Sears, and his philosophy is quite a bit like TSP. Like Dr. S, he will prescribe pharmaceuticals for his patients - but only as a last resort. He likes to prescribe food - and he's especially fond of things like cod liver oil (omega 3s) and walnuts (ALAs).

Why this came to mind is your comments about cardio. He has some fascinating information about cardio, and how doing cardio on a regular basis actually decreases your lung power, heart capacity and more. (Don't laugh!)

He suggests a program he calls "Ultra Aerobics", where you do some simple exercise for a few minutes, then go all out for maybe a minute and a half. If you start panting because you're out of breath, you're there. The idea is the body naturally optimizes itself based on the demands put on it. By placing a short demand on it that it can't meet, the body is signaled to build in that area. And the demand is short enough that it doesn't trigger the adrenals, just like Dr. S says.

You can get a little "taste" or Dr. Sears here.

Blessings,

-Don
