Nothing that happened to him or nothing we did, he died of his own doing, unintentional. He was so stressed by his situation his bodies survival system over reaction to fear killed him.

What we have been telling you for eight issues of this newspaper is my research uncovers and indicates it is not something you catch or get that is going to kill you.....like the bird, it is yourself.

You and the bird have tremendously capable and ingenious almost miraculous survival systems, but if it misinterprets what is happening to you, it can and often inadvertently kills you.

In the US approximately 85% of deaths are from degenerative diseases, they tell us. Well, degenerative diseases are ALL do it to your self (like the bird, inadvertently kills yourself.) diseases.

When you go to the doctor he treats the symptoms of these diseases, to try to save you. Read that again....he does NOTHING about the cause...he treats ONLY the symptoms.

We are going back to try to show you how to keep your own body from killing you and understanding it is doing it accidentally misinterpreting what the danger to your survival is and turning on a survival system that is incorrect for our modern day situation and it proceeds with what it knew was correct solution for 100,000 years, but not now and it kills you in doing so.

I have been busting myself researching this, reading over 180 books, dozens of studies every week, reading new thinking on the subject etc and as I figure it out...try to put it into practice to save my hide, and explain it to you in a manner you can understand so you can do the same.

What our survival system is trying to do and what it does when it gets a certain signal that you need saving from something or that you are in danger from something and you need to get ready, gear up to handle the danger. It is all of these false alarms, like the bird, did not know it was not being killed, and we were going to take care of it, not kill it.

Your survival system is getting a message that you need help to survive something. If we can turn off the message or it interpreting what is happening incorrectly we can stop it from killing us accidental or putting us thru a lot of self caused illness etc.

What killed the bird was STRESS. An Interpretation by the body nature supplied survival system that there was great danger to survival. What it is that makes you ill or often kills a human being is the affect of stress.

You have a survival system that detects internal things going on and with modern day input that it has no programming for often makes mistakes. This is what we have been primarily writing about until now.

Now we take up your outside your body danger interpretation and what your survival system does to your body to get ready for and to handle that. Down thru the centuries, many enemies and animals were a hazard in staying alive so those that had the best survival system lived to have children, which led to you.

So you inherited it. This survival systems gets its instructions from your emotions to a degree and determines that you are upset about something about someone or something, it better get your body geared up ready to fight or flee.

It gets you ready for fight or flight:

1. Ups your blood pressure, tightens up your arteries.
2. Ups your heart rate
3. Restricts blood flow to your digestion system and shuts it down
4. Increases blood sugar level.
5. Cuts part of blood flow to your brain.
6. Ads substances to your blood that helps in case you get wounded.

So the real question is how often are you turning on your body survival alarm system and you are not aware this is going on?

About twenty years ago I read that the US Navy Figured out a way in advance to tell which sailors would get sick or come unglued on an 8 month cruise before they got back. If they could predict which ones would get sick they could save a lot of problems by not taking them on the eight month cruise.

In other words they had a system that worked that told which sailors would likely make themselves (immune system over react,) sick before the trip was over. Which sailors would have a problem could be predicted and not include them on the trip. and no physical or medical test was necessary.

This was my introduction years ago to a long term study of Stress, and its affect on your health and even your life expectancy.

Stress is something that happens in your life, and that "something" does not do you in, your REACTION to it, just like the bird, is what does you in.

For another publication twenty years ago I wrote five articles on stress and how to keep it from killing you, for people going thru stressful times.

For example, did you know if your spouse dies the odds of your dying in the next year just doubled?

MAJOR LIFE CHANGES TURN ON A STRESS ALARM SYSTEM THAT SAYS TO YOUR BODY 
"GET UP TIGHT. GET READY TO RUN FOR YOUR LIFE."

When you have a major loss or stressful event happen in your life, many of the day to day functions that used to be automatic are changed and you go back on manual. Daily living habits are changed, social interactions are changed, sexual activities are changed. Goals are changed or dropped and your mental processor is handling tremendous amounts of new patterns—most on manual.

FOUR THINGS TURN ON YOUR BODY ALARM

1. Not being able to do what you always did turns on a body alarm—like drug withdrawal pains, from stopping doing some behavior that was automatic.

2. Doing things you have never done before, like taking over total responsibility from your own financial survival, turns on a panic bodily alarm.

3. Fear, of the unknown, getting into change, unfamiliar territory that you don't know you can handle and your very survival is at stake. No appropriate programming on file for what is happening and where you are going.

4. Mentally processing over and over what is happening to you, trying to process "crazy making" data that has no answer or apparent solution. This uses up tremendous emotional energy and turns on an anxiety body alarm.

WHEN UNDER LONG TERM STRESS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS SHUT DOWN OR DIMINISHED.

IT IS HOW YOU HANDLE WHAT'S HAPPENING

THEY HAVE DEVELOPED STRESS TEST TO HELP YOU PREDICT YOUR CHANCES OF BECOMING MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY ILL

How To Tell Your Odds

Of the people who have collected more than three hundred life-change units during the past twelve months, almost 80 percent will get sick (mentally or physically) in the near future. Of those with 150 to 299 life-change units, about 50 percent will get sick in the near future. Of those with less than 150 life change units, only about 30 percent will get sick. So, the higher your life-change score, the harder you should work to stay well!!
