Overview
The idea that the body's response to environmental conditions might have long-term consequences had been proposed by William Osier (1849-1919). In 1934, Walter B Cannon (1871-1945) provided experimental evidence of this process when he showed the increased production of adrenalin in animals subject to stresses. Selye's genius, and his claim to be the inventor of the idea of stress, lay in his unique combination of laboratory investigation and popular exposition. His demonstration of a non-specific reaction of the body to external strains, resulting in disorders such as cardiac arrhythmia, was popular with the public and medical profession. In Selye's formulation, stress had become an unfortunate aspect of ourselves.
