STRESS AND REFLEXOLOGY

The benefits of Reflexology and Stress can be explained physiologically. Tension can be equated with stress. There are as many definitions of stress as there are authors of books on stress. Today everyone suffers from stress but no one knows what stress is. It could be stated that stress is difference between a persons perceived ability to deal with stressor and reality of environmental demand.

This definition allows for varying degrees of stress to be felt by different people in same situation. Irrespective of what stressor is, stress reaction is always same.

Seyle, 1956, termed reaction to stress as fight or flight syndrome. What this means is that when we are faced with a stressful situation, we either fight it or run away. The body releases hormones into system that allow us to physiologically cope with this. For example, you have all heard of mothers who have had strength to lift up a car to rescue their children. This ability comes from rush of stress hormones, e.g. adrenaline into bloodstream.

We also perspire profusely, (to slip out of a grasp), blood pressure increases as blood leaves extremities (so you do not bleed badly when cut), proteins and fats convert to glucose (to give you energy) etc. Once stress situation is over stress hormones come back to normal levels.

Today however, it would be socially unacceptable to hit your boss if he was stressing you or to run away from home if your kids or spouse were stressing you. This means that stress hormones are continually being secreted and do not come back to a normal level. While these stress hormones play a vital role when faced with a stressor, they have a detrimental effect on individual if they do not come back to normal levels. Prolonged secretion and circulation of these stress hormones causes damage to body.

The white blood cells (infection fighters) become depleted, neurotransmitters controlling mood are depleted and T-cells in lymphatic system are broken down. Examples of effects of this are not hard to find. Just look at how many people who have been under stress become sick. How many people do you know who have lost a "significant other" through death or divorce or who became ill or contracted cancer?

Reflexology, by inducing relaxation, reduces stress hormones so that body is able to produce T-cells, white cells and neurotransmitters so as to start healing itself.

There are two kinds of tags: passive and active ones. The Pentagon is using both passive and active tags. And now, they are already in use. But, I am at a loss on what wondrous results to efficiency in supplying medical supplies this wireless-tagging thing had done to defense corps. Does this improve naval, ground, marine and aerial forces of US Department of Defense’s chance for adequate medical supply? Does this solve problem of immediate medical rescue and attention for gallant soldiers and agents of Pentagon?

I think that before ever these wireless-tagging innovations be prioritized, issue of adequate and sufficient medical supply for thousands of recruits and forces be addressed first by US Department of Defense. It’s not bad to do practices that feature technological advances to secure these drugs. It’s not even bad to find ways of efficient handling, storage and distribution. But first of all, they must concern themselves on sufficiency of drugs they will be handling, storing and distributing, before anything else. Now, is that too much to ask? So, what’s new with RFID tags? Does it solve problem of rank and file forces of US defense corps?
