the chronic anxiety was caused by foods/supplements/lifestyle. these things are always caused by a physical stressor. it could go back to something while in the womb, toxic diet of the mother while in the womb, etc. the depression was simply caused by dislike of physical appearance, money issues.No he refers to any stress, including EMFs, darkness, toxins and mental stress itself. They all trigger the same stress response. Learned helplessness, an acute manifestation of mental stress is the most powerful stressor in existence and is strong enough to kill people.
I can assure you it will eventually cause big physical symptoms, you may not have realized it but it any type of chronic anxiety/depression has already had profound deleterious effects on your body. It's a big two way street where the problem feeds back onto itself.
And I'm sure many others on this forum can attest to it as well. The book Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers explores this relationship between what has been categorized as purely ''mental stress'' and the very physiological impacts that accompany it.
so mental stress can physically kill you? how would that work, by what mechanism?
there doesnt seem to be any way that something like EMFs, radiation, poisons, iron, pufa, etc can cause the same response as just feeling bad or feeling anxious. in fact if you are feeling anxious or depressed in the first place, the cause is biological/physiological in itself. it's just a co occurring symptom of physical stresses. Most of Peats articles seem to focus on the physical. vaccines, radiation, xrays, pharma medicines, iron, pufa, carrageenan, other forms of toxic environment/diet/lifestyle. once you implement the proper physical changes/properly heal, the anxiety/depression should lessen on its own. on the other hand, if you have a toxic physical environment/diet/radiation/xrays etc, lessening your anxiety/depression will do almost nothing to fix the problem.
mental stress often occurs alongside physical symptoms but it doesn't mean the mental stress is what caused it. have there been examples of people who are actually free of radiation, vaccines, xrays and are doing everything the Peat way, but still dying off or getting symptoms from stress or anxiety or depression?
