You are not a victim of your genes!

This is an extract from Bruce H. Lipton Ph.D. about believing in your health.

We are connected to our environment. We are undermining the environment with human development. If you are not well then you are not living in harmony with your environment ie biology. Genes are not the control centre of our cells. Cells can exist without their nucleus.
There is no on and off of genes. They cannot control themselves. You are not victims of your genes! You control the genes in your body by your mind, perception, that cause the genes to be selected and activated. You can rewrite every gene in your body by the way you live your life. You can rewrite your genes to what you believe they should be.
This is called epigenetics. This means ‘control above the genes’ You change your perceptions you change your genes. You change your belief your change your health. This is called the placebo effect. If you believe you will get well then you will get well by changing your genes. Also, the opposite will occur ie if you have negative thoughts about illness then you will become ill. 70% of our thoughts in humans on average is negative!
Change your thoughts to positive and you will prevent illness. Thoughts affect your health.
Illnesses are connected to the way you are living ie stresses and traumas in day to day living.
Research was provided on bacteria that could not digest lactose ie milk sugar and when these bacteria were placed on a petrie dish with only lactose (dairy) solution and expected them to die, where there was nothing else suitable for them to survive, then something amazing happened…. Instead of all of them dying, there were new cells being produced. How did that happen? The bacteria changed their genes due to the stress and trauma caused by not having the right food.
In a stressful environment, an organism will alter its genes to eliminate the stress. The organism chose which gene it needed to change to suit the environment ie adaptive mutations. Ie we can cause cancer because of the stress in our life.
This correlates to humans …. When we are under a huge amount of stress in our current day life and our body cannot cope very well, it changes the genes and disease is formed.
If you believe you will get cancer of other diseases then you will get cancer or what else you are thinking negatively of. Only 10% of those with cancer have any hereditary link to cause it. 90% of cancer is from the way you are thinking and living!
An adopted child with no hereditary cancer moving in with a new family that has hereditary cancer will take on the beliefs of the new family and will therefore possibly get cancer together with the siblings! It is not the genes.
What if you are fed the information in your mind that you will get cancer and you believe that, then that is all it takes and you will get cancer. All you have to do is change your belief that you will not get cancer and your DNA in your genes will not change to include the development of cancer. This is called the Placebo Effect. We are the controllers of our genes ie health.
The past is irrelevant. You are not to blame. You just need education for the future. From today forward you can change your life. We are personally responsible for our lives.
We are a community of trillions of cells that control their environments in and on our body.
We are all part of the same living system.
