We all want to have the greatest happiness possible, and surely, our physical health is part of our overall happiness.

To what extent are our illnesses, our physical ones, due to stress?

What is stress, moreover?

This author suggests that stress is comprised of the anger and fear that we feel, and the more anger and fear, the more we say we are feeling "stressed".

Make no joke about it, surely the phrase "stress kills", is accurate.

Stress surely causes a great many of our ailments, physically, before we finish our time on this orb, too...

This little eBook is written by someone who had an immense amount of stress in his life, for a span of years, and his body almost literally shut down, for a period of time. He had one physical ailment stacked upon another. But as he also was working on his anger and fear, by keeping an anger journal and making list after list of his fears, for years, commonalities began to surface. He began to see some root causes of the strong, almost chronic anger and fear "touch points". As these were reduced over time, his health made incredibly marked changes for the better.

He regards his time with the various medical approaches to be the best he could have been pursuing, at that time, all things considered. He didn't realize, till years later, that the best medicine of all, the best medical treatment of all, was that which he administered to himself, from between his own two ears: the medicine of persistently working to reduce these two key sources of stress, which in turn were eating him alive.

He fairly confidently believes that anything we use other than the medicine of reducing our anger and fear, using changes in how we think about life, is almost akin to placebo medicine: hope-medicine, if you will; that the Real McCoy Medicine is anything and everything which reduces stress - and the most permanent and effective reduction of this stress - the anger and fear in our lives - is to "medicine-away" this anger and fear.
