stress and aging

Scientists have identified the first direct link between stress and aging, a finding that explains why intense, long-term emotional strain can make individuals chronically sick and grow old before their time.

Chronic stress hastens the shriveling of the tips of the bundles of genes inside cells shortening their life span and speeding overall deterioration of the body according to a study involving mothers caring for chronically ill children.

The study focused on the telomeres in the chromosomes of particular immune cells of 58 women between the ages of 20 and 50. Telomeres cap the ends of chromosomes and shorten as cells reproduce, a measure of age. When they reach a minimum level the cells can no longer reproduce.

The report, published in the late fall of 2004 by the National Academy of Sciences, found that the telomeres in the cells of women under stress had undergone the equivalent of 10 years of additional aging, compared to women living more normal lives.

"Chronic stress appears to have the potential to shorten the life of immune cells. This is the first time that psychological stress has been linked to a cellular indicator of aging in healthy people." - Elissa Epel of University of California at San Francisco

"We are trying to figure out what causes aging and premature aging. We all know that stress appears to age people - just look at the aging of our presidents after four years. The new study demonstrates that there is no such thing as separation of mind and body - the very molecules in our bodies are responsive to our psychological environment" - Dr. Dennis Novack, who studies the link between emotions and health at Drexel University College of Medicine.

a broken heart

A study published in the of the New England Journal of Medicine in late winter 2005 suggests that many humans believed to have suffered mild heart attacks may have actually experienced what the researchers dubbed "broken heart syndrome."

The biochemistry associated with a little known condition called stress cardiomyopathy, which causes temporary heart failure was described for the first time. The condition was typified by high levels of stress hormones known as catecholamines in the bloodstream. The condition, triggered by an emotional jolt, resembles a heart attack and can cause death.

This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.

This website defines a new religious ideology to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has created a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of the religion aptly named The Truth of the Way of Life - a rational religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with God through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a “hate crime.”

This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world central banking system, mass media worldwide, the industrial military complex of America and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through mass media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
