Environmental Toxins Affect Later Generations
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
A study on animals published in the March issue of the Public Library of Science showed that many environmental toxins can have negative effects for three generations! The DNA sequence is unaffected but these compounds change the way genes turn on and off. Some of the toxins involved include pesticides such as DEET and permethrin, fungicides, jet fuel,...
Epigenetics of Breast Cancer
submitted by: admin on 06/25/2016
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) reviewed data about possible environmental risks for developing breast cancer. They felt that pesticides, beauty products, heousehold chemicals, and plastics might or might not be risk factors for breasts cancer. They did agree that medical x-rays were a clear risk for developing breast cancer. They recommended that...
Epigenetics with Bruce Lipton
submitted by: admin on 11/01/2024
Genes in cells are influenced and controlled by the environment in which it lives. This means that DNA is not immutable. Our perception of how we see the world influences our genetic makeup. We are actually the masters of our biology because what we think affects how our genes effect our biology. Even identical twins have different gene readouts that become more...
Exercise is Powerful Anti-Aging Medicine
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
Stem cells accumulate in skeletal muscle following exercise and release growth factors to spur regeneration according to a study published in PLoS online. Stem cells become deficient with aging so exercise is the best way to preserve muscle as we age.
Exercise Reduces the Effect of an Obesity Gene
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
Physical exercise can change the DNA in certain genes that stimulate obesity and lessen their effects by about 30%. Epigenetics has a lot to do with how the DNA in our genes manifests itself. This challenges the widely held belief that what is in our DNA is not changeable...thank goodness that this is not true.
We have found the same epigenetic...
Father's Obesity Affects Sperm DNA for Two Generations
submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013
An article published in FASEB Journal showed that obesity in fathers changed the DNA in their sperm so as to put future generations at risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes even if they consumed a healthy diet. This change developed whether or not the obese father had signs of type 2 diabetes or the metabolic syndrome.
We've long known that...
Fish Oil Derivative Cures Cancer
submitted by: admin on 06/24/2016
An article published in the journal, Blood, reported that a compound from fish oil targeted and killed stem cells of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in mice. They were completely cured of CML and with no relapse with a daily injection for just one week! The compound stimulated the p53 tumor suppressor gene that regulates the response to DNA damage...
Fish Oil for Macular Degeneration

Fish oil has been shown to help prevent macular degeneration.
Flawed Genes Account for less than One Percent of All Diseases
submitted by: admin on 02/19/2015
According to editorials in August of 2012 from Sayer Ji of GreenMedInfo, and Elizabeth Renter of NaturalSociety, it has been estimated that less than 1% of all diseases are caused by flawed genes! Because the influence of our environment on genes (epigenetics) usually determines the expression of our genes, our lifestyle becomes very important...
General Anesthesia Can Cause Dementia
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
An article in Annals of Neurology in February of 2012 showed that in mice the anesthetic Forane caused impaired cognitive function that were much like the changes in Alzheimer's disease. Previous studies have documented that patients undergoing general anesthesia may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Transient cognitive dysfunction...
General Wellness and Prevention Protocol
submitted by: admin on 06/09/2014
We cannot be healthy if we don't live a healthy lifestyle. If all of our cells are healthy, infact, it is impossible to be sick! So, our job is to keep our cells healthy by living a healthy lifestyle that includes diet, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, proper weight, and having meaningful purpose in our lives. If we follow these principles,...
Genes and Heart Attack
submitted by: admin on 11/01/2024
Scientists have found thirteen new gene variants that can increase a person's chance of developing heart disease. One of the benefits would be the ability to identify people carrying this gene and neutralize the excess risk. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardio vascular disease, one of the largest killers in the...
GMO Crops Must be Immediately Outlawed
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
GMO foods are dangerous and should be outlawed immediately. Longterm studies in mice show a high incidence of breast cancer as well as serious kidney and liver disorders. The problem with the research done by Monsanto and DuPont that has been done is that they are all relatively short term and it takes many years for disease to develop when caused...
GMO Foods are a Global Experiment
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
Genetically engineered foods and animals are now widespread in supermarkets. We are swapping genes between the animal and plant kingdom with reckless abandon. Their safety is untested and we're conducting a global experiment that is risky. Novel changes created by modifying genes has advantages but also consequences. It also has potential impacts on the environment...
Gut Microflora Regulate Immunity
submitted by: admin on 03/31/2015
A study from the Mayo Clinic published in the PloS ONE in June of 2012 showed that the gut microflora regulate the immune system and may be directly related to autoimmune disorders such as ulcerative colitis, and diabetes. In fact, the gut microbiome may be used as a biomarker for this predisposition and it may be possible to prevent autoimmune diseases...
Health Care Costs Challenge Industry
submitted by: admin on 11/01/2024
The demise of the US auto industry in large part was related to unaffordable health care costs. GM has been referred to as an insurance company that makes cars! US health care costs are double most industrialized countries.
How I Practice Medicine with Wes Rocki, MD
submitted by: admin on 11/01/2024
Bringing the wisdom of different practitioners together creates a healing environment. There is tenacity towards life in every cell without which no medical intervention could work. Mother Nature is a combination between the cooperation of billions of cells in the human body with the environment. Medical lpractitiobners can help some patients, but they can harm...
How much iron do you need?
submitted by: admin on 11/01/2024
Iron balance is critical. Too little and kids will be retarded, and too much and we age prematurely. About five percent of the population has the recessive gene for iron overload. Iron metabolism should be a routine assessment.
How Opiate Addictions Develop with Richard Gracer, MD
submitted by: admin on 09/24/2013
All too often, if there is a genetic predisposition, prescribing opiates for appropriate reasons can lead to addiction. Drug tolerance develops quickly. There are alternatives and solutions that Dr. Gracer describes.
Hypnosis and Local Anesthesia is Better and Safer Anesthesia
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
Using a combination of hypnosis and local anesthesia can aid in healing and reduce drug use and time spent in the hospital. It could also help avoid cancer recurrences and metastases. Two clinical studies showed these results.
It appears that hypnosis works by reducing the perception of pain as suggested by functional MRI studies and PET scans.
