The False Idea of Genetics as the Key to Disease

We all agree that cells communicate with each other.  This happens through receptor cell membranes the surface of which must be free of obstacles in order for communication to take place.  When there are obstacles the cell communication is altered, inhibited and even garbled.  This is known as epigenetics, the environment within which a cell functions and which affects the health of the cell without changing the genetic code.  You may be surprised to learn that the latest research has shown that as much as 75% of genetic expression is due to epigenetics while only 25% is related to the genetic hard-wired code itself.

Can We Escape From the Womb

Aside from the green vegetables, we don’t really consume these foods and I know a few people that run away from green vegetables.

Those Stealthy Invaders

As far back as 1994 medical research realized that there were specific illnesses caused by organisms that had unique abilities. They were able to not just “infect” you, they could adapt to your immune system and evade your body’s attempts to resolve them. These became known as stealth pathogens and it meant that they could live in your body for very long periods of time.

The Calcium Conundrum

Every woman that walks into the clinic has been told the same thing by their physician ... take more calcium. Particularly post-menopausal women have been programmed to think that calcium is the key to their bone health. In fact, that is far from the truth, so let’s talk about why osteopenia, osteoporosis and arthritis for that matter, seem to be in every woman’s health future. So when we talk about the bones needing lots of calcium, what exactly do the bones do with all that calcium? The answer is .... nothing.
