Since the emergence of mind/body medicine approximately forty-five years ago, 75 — 90 percent of all health care visits are still estimated to result from stress related health problems. The cost to American industry in the forms of absenteeism, company medical expenses and decreased productivity is conservatively estimated at $150 billion dollars per year.

Such stress related conditions as sleep problems, digestive disorders, headaches, anxiety, depression; anger and hostility, alcoholism, drug abuse, heart disease, musculoskeletal conditions and nutrition abnormalities are epidemic in our high tech culture.

The four best selling drugs in the United States today is illustrative of this tragedy. They are: ulcer medication, hypertensive treatments, tranquilizers and sleeping pills and antidepressants. We spend an amazing $650 million dollars per year on sleeping pills alone. Ironically, in this era of rapid, intensive information exchange we feel increasingly disconnected front ourselves, front others, and from our world. This alienation is in part the source of chronic anxiety and disease.

Understanding Evolutionary (Biological) medicine provides the scientific foundation for recognition and treatment of behavior based illness. The immune and nervous systems are now known to be hard-wired and this has aided in understanding the relationship between various emotional states and physical illness.
