GENETIC ISSUES
Our genes are the "blueprint" that governs our initial "construction" and "repair and maintenance". There are two ways that our genes can predispose us to disease. One is if we inherit faulty genes, the other is, if we ourselves develop faulty genes.
Every time a DNA strand duplicates itself there is a risk that an error may occur, and there is an opportunity to repair faults. If the required nutrients are not available and/or toxins are present, the scene is set for faulty gene production. When all nutritional requirements are available and in a toxin free environment, the correction of faults is possible.
The Primacy of DNA has been a dogma for generations. Of course Genes are fundamental, but less than 5% of disease conditions can be directly attributed to genetic faults. Recent research deserves examination, especially the much heralded, HUMAN GENOME PROJECT, where the human genome was mapped.
By far the most important outcome from the project was that Geneticists expected to find over 120,000 genes. They found that the entire human genome consists of less than 25,000 genes. Over 80% of the REQUIRED GENES - DO NOT EXIST. Nobel prize winning geneticist David Baltimore said 'Unless the human genome contains a lot of genes that are opaque to our computers, it is clear that we do not gain our undoubted complexity over worms and plants by using more genes'.
It would appear that it is how the genes are expressed that is significant.
Basically, healthy levels of natural nutrition will result in the expression of desirable genes. Shortages of vital nutrients and toxins will cause the expression of undesirable/disease genes. A very simple summary, far from complete, but not inaccurate.
Many books are available addressing this subject, one very readable summary can be found in Prof Bruce Lipton's book The Biology Of Belief.
