This is a presentation made on stress and related problems related to physiological aspects of it. It also explains General Adaption Syndrome i.e our bodies response to stressor hormone like Oxytocin and cortisol in basic 3 stages, also some of the sympathetic and parasympathetic functions. It gives you general idea about the "Stress curve" .

CORONOFOBIA - Passos práticos para equilibrar as defesas do corpo e da menteLouis Cady, MD
Esta palestra, apresentada em 29 de maio de 2021 para o Congresso de Medicina Integrativa para a Saúde Mental 2020, promovido pelo Laboratório Great Plains no Brasil, enfocou coisas simples e de bom senso que os pacientes (e seus médicos) podem fazer para se manter seguros e viver durante o Pandemia do covid.
Os seguintes conceitos holísticos foram revisados:
- sono adequado e por que é tão importante;
- o uso de melatonina, cientificamente validada como tendo atividade antiviral (referências citadas);
- a importância de diminuir o estresse e técnicas para fazê-lo;
- a necessidade de "comer frutas e vegetais" como sua mãe e sua avó ensinaram devido à ingestão de carotenóides e antioxidantes ((referências citadas);
- o uso adequado de suplementos vitamínicos / nutricionais (referências citadas).
O foco desta apresentação não foram medidas heróicas para salvar vidas na unidade de terapia intensiva para pacientes gravemente enfermos com COVID, mas, sim, técnicas de bom senso, práticas, baratas e (em alguns casos) GRATUITAS para melhorar você e seus pacientes 'saúde e resistência às doenças.

Running head: BEHAVIORAL STUDY OF OBEDIENCE 1
BEHAVIORAL STUDY OF OBEDIENCE 4
Obedience binds men to the systems of authority. The study aim at studying obedience by a laboratory experiment in which the subjects administers the shock to the victim until the maximum shock point the subject refuses to continue with the experiment. The subjects who fully obeyed the experimental commands are obedient, and those who declined to continue with the commands after a while are disobedient (Milgram, 1963). Authoritarianism; obedience to authority against will, correspond to this experiment.
The major hypothesis for this experiment is that the subjects will obey the experimental command administer to the victims the highest shock on the generator. Another hypothesis is that the victims will positively respond to the experiment.
According to Milgram, the study sample subjects comprised of 40 males between 20 and 50 years of age all from New Haven and neighboring communities. Newspaper advertisement, as well as direct mail solicitation, were the means of obtaining the subjects. The sample represented a broad range of occupations including postal clerks, teachers, engineers, and laborers. Also, the educational level of the subjects ranged from those who did not complete the elementary school to doctorate level (1963).
Procedure
The experiment took place in an elegant interaction laboratory in Yale University. The experiment is performed by ordering a naïve subject to administer an electric shock to a victim. The subjects picked papers from a hat to determine the teacher and the learner in the experiment, but the naïve subject was the teacher and the accomplice the learner. The naïve subject is given the orders to administer the shocks to the learner in the learning experiment set up to find out the effects punishment has in the memory. The learned was strapped into an electric chair to avoid excess movements and electrode attached to the waist of the learner which was connected to the shock generator which is labeled a range of 15 and 450 volts. Electrode paste is administered to avoid burns and blisters. The teacher administers an increasingly intense shock to the learner to a severe shock level. At the point prior to the subject refusing to continue with the experiment is obedience and the point at which the subject refuses is disobedience (Milgram, 1963).
From the experiment, 26 subjects abandoned their moral conduct of hurting another human against his will and followed the instructions of authority with no powers of enforcing his command. Some subjects expressed disapproval of the experiment and others complied with experimental commands but showed a sign of relief after the experiment. It is evident that the participants are always acting against their values in punishing the victims. Another finding is that there was tension as well as emotional strain among the subjects (Milg ...
BOOSTING YOUR IMMUNITY During the COVID 19 PandemicLouis Cady, MD
In this presentation, presented as a live webinar on Monday, April 27th, Dr. Louis Cady of the Cady Wellness Institute reviewed practical, common-sense things that can be done to boost your immunity, with documentation from the peer-reviewed medical literature. Dr. Cady also reviews supplements and nutrients that are established in the peer-reviewed medical literature as having antiviral capabilities. These include Vitamins C,D, and E, Zinc, carotenoids and antioxidants, probiotics, the reishi mushroom, elderberry, cannabidiol (CBD - not marijuana or weed!).
Points presented are scrupulously documented from the medical literature. This presentation does not guarantee or represent that using ANY of these nutrients will "keep you from getting infected or dying" from COVID 19. They are presented for your thoughtful consideration.
Tolerance and Autoimmunity By Dr. Kanury Rao.pptxDr.Kanury Rao
The term ‘immune tolerance’ indicates the lack of response of the immune mechanism to its own antigens. The autoimmunity is caused by the breakdown of immunity tolerance. Dr. Kanury Rao is analyzing the causes and preventions of these diseases
2. Immune System
the body’s main way of defending
itself against millions of antigens that
would otherwise invade it.
None of these things will be able to affect the body when the
immune system is working effectively. The moment that the
immune system stops functioning properly, the body becomes
at risk of infection.
3. How does the immune system
operate?
If the virus is able to reproduce
and start causing problems, the
immune system is responsible for
eliminating it.
4. Impact of stress on the immune system
Stress may have a general
impact on the immune system, Acute stressors can lead
e.g. Immunosupression to an upregulation
Alternatively it may affect (increased strength) of
natural or specific immunity or natural immunity
even alter the balance between
cellular and humoral immunity Chronic stressors can
lead to downregulation
Sergerstrom & Miller (2004)
of the immune system
conducted meta-analysis
and concluded that stress
can strengthen natural immunity
5. Stress and the Immune System
A - Kiecolt-Glaser et al (1995) wanted
to investigate the direct effects of
stress on the immune system –
specifically looking at how quickly
wounds heal
P - Field experiment/volunteer sample
•13 female participants
•Carers for relatives with senile dementia
•Matched participant design with 13 women
matched on age, income etc…
•Puncture biopsy (3.5mm below elbow) NE
•Cytokine level assessed
•Stress perception questionnaire
6. Stress and the Immune System
F - Kiecolt-Glaser found that wound
healing took significantly longer in the
carers than the control group
Cytokine levels were lower in the carers
too, their perceived stress scale was
higher also!
C - The findings support the idea that chronic
stress depresses immune functioning –
leading to increased vulnerability to
infection!
7. Evaluation – your turn!
Strengths Weaknesses
•Supported by
•Correlational
Marucha et al
study
(1998)
•Low population
validity
•High ecological
•Volunteer Sample
validity
8. Field experiment
• Kiecolt-Glaser’s research was a field
experiment
• For example, the research was conducted in a
real life setting and gathered natural
behaviour
• This is positive as the research investigated
real life stress and the findings can be
generalised beyond the research setting
9. Marucha
• Kiecolt-Glaser’s research is supported by
Marucha
• For example, Marucha found that wounds
heal 40% quicker in students during their
summer holidays compared to 3 days before
an exam
• This is positive as it support the idea that
stress suppressed the immune system and
therefore slows recovery from illness.
10. Female participants
• Kiecolt-Glaser’s sample was gynocentric
• For example, the research only tested the
female stress response
• This is a weakness as the findings are not
applicable to men as men might respond
differently to stress
11. Volunteer sampling
• Kiecolt-Glaser collecting their participants using
volunteer sampling
• For example, this means that the research will
have been populated with similar people (type A
personalities are more likely to volunteer)
• This is a weakness as the findings lack population
validity and are not able to be generalised
beyond the setting to the wider population (as
non-type A’s may not respond to stress in the
same way as type A’s)
