Great things are always simple, your perception, thoughts and feelings will affect how your dna will be read, and more deeply, will directly affect your health, if you believe that your healing and pose actions to support it, your body will heal itself and then some, if you believe that your dying, well guess what, your cells will execute that. Logically when we care about ourselves and truly want to be happy, we instinctively start to eat better, feel better and know better… original song & instruments performed and mixed by cyberkaz Mind over Matter is starting to be proven scientifically, and the “placebo” effect is not just a myth anymore, life is a gift and your mind is ultimately gearing your cells, be smart, love your body, even if life try’s to bring you down, force it back up, change your mindset, forget what others think, and harness the love… source images from two NOVA documentaries: “Ghost in your Genes” which focuses on new discoveries concerning epigenetics and the epigenome, and the other is simply called “DNA” a PBS special on the controversial history of dna and the human genome project. video.google.com At the end is Bruce Lipton talking on a radio show about his findings and experiences as a bio-chemist… Think good thoughts, pose the actions and you will shine bright!

Then it passed these instructions on to its children, who passed it to their children and so on – all the way down through time to all living things today. The human genome, written in a code of just four letters, tells us who we really are – and that generates many questions! Is this process of natural selection coming to an end? Should we choose the best that is in us for our children? If so, who gets to decide what is meant by “the best that is in us”? From amino acids in space to human genes in corn … THIS is the story. 1) The Human Genome: www.youtube.com 2) The DNA Instruction Manual: www.youtube.com 3) Genetic Disorders And Diseases: www.youtube.com 4) Pandora’s Box Of Genetics: www.youtube.com www.cassiopeiaproject.com .

Epigenetics is an emerging scientific field. Research focuses on the chemical changes that affect gene expression but do not alter the base sequence of DNA. These chemical changes include methylation, the addition of a methyl group to certain nitrogen bases. Researchers are studying these patterns of gene expression, which are passed on from parent to offspring. They are also studying how environmental factors can change the way in which genes are expressed. A growing body of evidence suggests that a wide variety of illnesses and behaviors may be linked to epigenetic mechanisms. These include various cancers, cognitive dysfunction, and autoimmune diseases. The environmental factors suspected of altering epigenetic processes include heavy metals, pesticides, tobacco smoke, and radioactivity.
