50 Years Lost in Medical Advance: The Discovery of Hans Selye's Stress Mechanism
by Lewis S. Coleman, MD
The American Institute of Stress Press
Trade Paperback



From the book publicity:



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.
