Epigenetic Silencing

An article on Epigenetics and Health in Natures Remedy says our lifestyle and diet can affect our genes. These effects can either be turning a particular gene ON or turning it OFF (silencing it). We have tumor suppressor genes that fight tumors and can prevent cancers from taking hold. When these genes get silenced it usually results in cancer being allowed to grow. We are in tune or out of tune with nature, our environment and our food. If we stay in tune (much like being toned in a gym) we remain healthy. If we allow ourselves to get out of tune, we allow sickness to take control. We are what we eat and how we live. Choose wisely!

I really think goji berries could be one of those foods which turn the tumor suppressing genes ON. It’s certainly a food worth investigating. http://www.jaydax.co.uk/imho/goji.htm

goji berries seem to have a lot of anti-oxidents but not many studies have been done. If they do have propertiesthat aid health it may be better to take them as a berry instead of as a juice. Processing juices cause many benefits to be processed away as well.

This is the basis for the research done by T Colin Campbell and outlined in his book The China Study. Interesting stuff. Populations which eat the right foods (i.e. those foods which are not cancer catalysts) do not get cancer, even if they smoke heavily.

Yes and I mention him and his book in my book along with hundreds of others doing research in this area. The information is out there but it does step on the toes of big business.
