DR DAVID CLARKE-Stress, stress illness, hidden stresses. "They Can't Find Anything Wrong: Seven Keys To Understanding, Treating and Healing Illness" People seeking answers for nagging health problems often leave the doctor's office without a diagnosis. Dr Clarke argues that the culprit is often stress. Through case histories, he presents a simple but practical model for understanding and treating the physical symptoms that occur in the body because of high levels of stress. Clarke's seven keys to healing stress illness include: understand that you can be treated; look inside yourself for evidence of stressful events, past and current; set aside time to care for yourself; use writing therapy to free trapped emotions; seek help if necessary through medications and mental health counseling; fight any forces that keep you from managing your stress; and, ultimately, become the person you were meant to be. Dr. Clarke is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine with Oregon Health and Sciences University, a Clinical Instructor at Pacific University, and a member of the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine. He is board-certified in Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine, and has practiced in Portland, Oregon since 1984. He is a Gastroenterologist at Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center, Ethics Director at Northwest Permanente, and Nutrition Support Team Director at Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center. He developed and presented a monthly seminar on stress illness, and local doctors have given their patients 50,000 copies of his brochure on this topic. <http://www.stressillness.com/>
