  2. Dr. Reich’s study found that nearly three out of four Alzheimer’s patients had experienced severe emotional distress during the two years preceding their diagnoses, whereas, only one in four of the control group had undergone major stress. The stresses most frequently encountered by the Alzheimer’s group included: grief (death of a spouse, partner or child), violence (personal assaults or robbery), auto accidents, financial difficulties and diagnosis of a family member’s severe illness. When one is experiencing acute stress, the body releases stress hormones, like cortisol, which are designed by nature to prepare the body to fight for flee the stressful event ~ the heart rate quickens, the lungs take in more oxygen, blood flow increases and parts of the immune system become temporarily suppressed. This suppression reduces the body’s response to pathogens and other foreign invaders. If the stress becomes chronic, the immune system becomes less sensitive to cortisol. Inflammation, which is partially regulated by this hormone, can get out of control. This is the way in which stress facilitates the onset of illness.
