You go to see your doctor complaining of pain your abdomen. He runs tests and announces that everything is normal. But you’re in pain and the pills he gave you aren’t helping. Back to the doctor you go. Months go by — maybe even years — with no relief. You are frustrated and so is your doctor. Finally he removes your gall bladder even though he isn’t convinced there is anything wrong with it. The pain continues …

 This scenario is more common than you’d think, says David D. Clarke, M.D. He says half of all illnesses are stress-related and doctors are untrained or simply unwilling to acknowledge that chronic pain, nausea, itching, irritable bowel syndrome, and other debilitating symptoms can be caused by repressed anxiety, depression or anger.

The result? Patients come back over and over again without getting better.

Dr. Clarke has successfully treated more than 7,000 sufferers of stress illness and done scores of interviews including such major media as WABC (NY) and WGN (Chicago).

He’ll reveal:

• What the 5 hidden stresses are and how they can be treated.

• How mental trauma that happened in childhood can cause illness in adults.

• The questions your doctor ought to ask you (if he knew better).
