Our progress in understanding human genes has been amazing and humbling. In 2003, the entire human genome was sequenced. Scientists had assumed that due to our advanced abilities and organ structure, we’d have over 100,000 genes. It explains how changes in gene activity can occur without changing our actual DNA. One way that we can influence gene activity is through the foods we eat. Lets look at some of these experiments:...

Confession: I have a sweet tooth. Over the past few years, however, my idea of sweets has changed dramatically. Long gone are the days that I would reach for a 100-calorie cookie or cake pack.

The question keeping me awake at night after reading these case studies was How did they do this? Were these people just lucky, or did they do something proactive? None of the case studies even commented on what had happened. Every single one of them was an active participant in their cure. Kelly A.

Of course it was a sign, Lissa! Id already received other, more subtle hints that foretold the destructive patterns that later became impossible to ignore. Why did I ignore such blatant soul guidance? How should interferes with soul guidance...

Eating a healthy diet can not only prevent disease, but it can heal chronic illness. (Think: John Belushi in the cafeteria fight inAnimal House.) Here are some ideas: 1. Eat a green vegetable with every meal. They found that after eating a high-fat meal, people had a rapid decline in artery function.
