Re: It's in the genes...OR IS IT REALLY?

Have a read of Bruce Lipton's book " The Biology of Belief " . An excellent and

accessible look at epigenetics and other related issues.

Hi again, Lizzie,

Oh, yes, I believe what Dr Mercola says! Genes (I have thought!) have always

been thought to be a type of blueprint, but that blue print is not cast in

stone, but changeable and tweekable. I suppose somewhere, back in the stone age

of genetics, some thought these genes were cast in stone, but that has not been

a valid thought in a long time. New research finds new evidence that genes are

changeable fairly regularly. Infact, if I am not mistaken, the last tj study I

sent mentioned that tjs play a role in gene shaping.

I was once told that genetics was like being dealt a hand of cards. Your body

plays the " hand " with the best outcome in mind. Your entire body acts and

reacts to do this. Your (positive) participation is necessary to get good

results. This includes eating well, avoiding harmful substances, getting enough

exercise and time in nature, having a good positive attitude and healthy thought

patterns....

My 2 cents,

Diane
