I just got through reading a book called Deadly Emotions by Don Colbert M.D. He discusses stress caused by fear, depression, anger and hostility, resentment, bitterness, unforgiveness, self-hatred and anxiety, and the mind - body- spirit connection that has toxic effects on the body and which he says can lead to hypertension, arthritis, MS, IBS and other ailments. Makes a lot of sense.

Wow, this is a bit of a generalisation isn't it?

Some people suffer from high blood pressure for many reason/s other than those given above.

I don't think toktokkie was saying it was the only reason for anything, merely the concept put forward in the book was an interesting one. Or at least, thats the way I read the post.

Thank you Mgv, I wasn't. I thought my words "can lead to" made that clear but I was wrong. Sorry, Tara, if you read it otherwise.

That's OK Raelin.

But then again, life leads to death doesn't it?
