The Cold Hard Stress Facts

+ The American Medical Association has noted that stress is the basic cause of more than 60% of ALL HUMAN ILLNESS and DIS-EASE! From this authors perspective, I would say this is still an underestimation.

+ Every week, over 95 million Americans suffer from some kind of stress related symptoms for which they take medication. These numbers do not include alcohol or recreational drugs that are taken by many to try and cope with their stress.

+ A 20 year study conducted at the University of London concluded that unmanaged reactions to stress are a MORE DANGEROUS RISK FACTOR for cancer and heart disease than either cigarette smoking or high cholesterol foods.

+ It is estimated that American Businesses alone lose approximately 200-300 Billion Dollars per year to stress related productivity loss and treatment cost.
