The Hidden Symphony of Our Response to Life
What if every illness, every challenge, and every triumph in your life followed the same underlying pattern? In 1936, a young endocrinologist named Hans Selye made an accidental discovery that would revolutionize our understanding of the human body. While searching for new hormones, he noticed something peculiar: laboratory rats injected with virtually any substance-from organ extracts to toxins-developed the same triad of symptoms: enlarged adrenal glands, shrunken lymphatic tissues, and bleeding stomach ulcers. This wasn't a failed experiment but the discovery of something fundamental about life itself. Selye had uncovered the body's universal response pattern to demands of any kind-what we now call "stress." This revelation transformed our understanding of health and disease, showing that our bodies respond to life's challenges through an intricate biological symphony that can either protect us or, when prolonged, break us down.
