HEP 3400 EXAM 2 (4,5,6,11,20,22)
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2026
VERIFIED.
What does the research of Keicolt-Glaser reveal about the affects of stress? - ANS A decrease
in immune response and an increase in aging response and a decrease in the wound healing
response. Suggests that chronic stress accelerates the aging process through the
overproduction of a specific pro inflammatory cytokine.
A common cold, cancer, allergies and lupus are regarded by Borysenko's stress and disease
model as what reactions? - ANS cold= exogenous under-reaction, cancer= endogenous
under-reaction, allergies= exogenous over-reaction, lupus= endogenous over-reaction
Who's work suggests that emotions can suppress or enhance the integrity of the immune
system? - ANS Candace Pert's stress and disease model.
Bruce Lipton's stress and disease model is considered to be a bridge between what models? -
ANS Pert and Gerber models
What is a chakra? - ANS It is a wheel of spinning energy. They are centers of energy in our
body that flow from the universal energy field connecting to us that are responsible for our
well-being and harmony of the body, mind, and spirit.
What model shows promise in the connection of disease and stress with Complimentary
Medicine? - ANS The Pelletier Premodel

, What model is said to have a cure rate for warts, asthma, hay fever and some allergies? -
ANS The Pelletier Premodel (hypnosis)
Describe Gerber's (energy system) stress and disease model - ANS Human consciousness is
comprised of layers of energy around the body and changes produced in the human energy field
can result in disease.
Who suggests the hypothesis that emotions can suppress or enhance the integrity of the
immune system? - ANS Candace Pert
What two links are the early signs of coronary heart disease? - ANS Elevated blood pressure
and the release of cortisol from adrenal medulla
According to cell biologist Bruce Lipton, cells don't have the ability to both grow and protect
their own integrity at the same time. - ANS True
The "direct" link between stress and cancer is now thought to be: - ANS The reduction of T-
lymphocytes.
The "Ghost in the Machine," a term often used with Descartes mind-body dualism, is really
another name for: - ANS Consciousness
This layer of the human energy field is most closely associated with the body's blueprint of
physical health and that found closest to the physical body. - ANS The etheric
The Gerber model of stress and disease indicates that: - ANS Human consciousness is
comprised of layers of energy around the body and changes produced in the human energy field
can result in disease.
According to Borysenko's stress and disease model, allergies are regarded as an: -
ANS exogenous over-reaction
