50 Years Lost in Medical Advance: The discovery of Hans Selye's stress mechanism

This book describes what may one day be remembered as the most important theoretical advance in medical history. The worldwide warfare of the 20th century produced an era of research rigor, vigor, integrity, and progress that inspired a prominent physician researcher named Hans Selye to hypothesize that a “stress mechanism” regulates physiology and explains disease. His concept was and remains the most promising prospect for an effective theory of medicine, and it inspired an intense international search for the stress mechanism that was abandoned and mostly forgotten after years of fruitless failure. However, powerful new theories typically arrive long before evidence becomes available to confirm them. Another 30 years of accumulating evidence from unrelated research has now enabled the author to identify the stress mechanism. It explains physiology and disease, and fulfills all the predictions and expectations of previous stress researchers. It promises to revolutionize medicine and provide powerful new treatments that will enable health, longevity, and freedom from the eternal curse of disease, suffering, and premature death. Stress theory exceeds the bounds of medicine and confers a “unified theory of biology” that explains embryology, evolution, anatomy, intelligence, emotion, “fight or flight,” the Cambrian Explosion, Lamarck, Baldwin, saltation, dinosaurs, and the origin of life. It paves the path to deciphering genomics and explaining embryological development, which will enable the ability to alter evolution, with implications that presently reside in the realm of science fiction.
