In her website, Dr Meglathery states that a stressor is anything that requires increased production of cortisol to be dealt with

I´ve found her theory quite interesting, very provocative and clinically sound.
It needs to be tested.
In another thread about this subject, I think she got undeserved treatment from forum members because her theory implies that there is a personality trait involved and that a psycological stressor can be one of the causes of the disease. She is not saying "it´s all in your head", she goes to great length to explain all the genetics and biochemistry involved in her theory
I think she is right, and other researchers like naviaux have stated the same thing.
