Gods laws of health and nutrition - where in Scipture?
Linny:
That's interesting Dave because I always felt like we lost our way when food STOPPED being nutrition. :-\
OBrenda:
Hi Everyone,
I admire all the research many of you have done on this. I think what One Shares on this subject is added to by Kat & Samson & Carol & Linny & Krista and Many Others...It's great when the Body of Christ Brain Storms on an issue, as IMO there most likely is not just one formula for food/nutrition for all people.
Last night I was watching TV with my DH and it was on "Epigenetic Therapy"
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/genes/issa.html
Q: People tend to think that the genes they're born with are set in stone—they're not going to change. But your epigenome does change. Do we have some responsibility to maintain it?
Issa: The realization that the epigenome is so important to health and disease is really fundamental, because we now understand that the epigenome is something we can do something about, as opposed to the genome, which is what we are born with that we can really not modify. The epigenome is a little more dynamic. Potentially what we eat in infancy and what we eat in development could affect the health of our epigenome. But it is more than that. Smoking and exposures and lifestyle habits can affect our epigenome. And perhaps more interestingly, not to be negative all the time, there might be interventions that would make our epigenome more healthy.
What I learned is that what ever we are exposed to like famine/smoking/chemicals is passed down to our offspring for generations! Sound familiar? [Sins of the father are visited to the 3rd and 4th generation?]

A Tale of Two Mice Watch the video in the link above if you have interest...
A mouse gives birth to identical-twin sisters. One has brown fur and will grow up to be lean and healthy; the other has yellow fur and is destined to be obese and prone to disease. How can two mice sharing exactly the same DNA become so different? The answer lies in the epigenome, a kind of second genome that all animals have, including humans. The epigenome dictates which genes in the genome are turned on and which are not, a process that can differ even between identical twins. In this audio slide show, see how this process works in mice and what the implications are for our own health and that of our children and even grandchildren.—Rima Chaddha
For those of you that are close to Ray has he looked into this type of therapy?

Great post Brenda,
Wow, I used to be real skinny and now im like 25 pounds overweight in like 3yrs and after what they said in that slide I am going to try a soy diet.
Linny:
Brenda,
Tell me if I am wrong but I am wondering if what you posted about the
Epigenetic Therapy is a lot like the following.
I believe that we are born with certain genetic factors that predispose us to certain disease. Some are born with tendencies towards heart disease and others to cancer, etc.
But with environmental factors being different or changed, we can alter what we were born with to some extent. Meaning, if we eat and live exactly as our parents, we will have the same diseases. But if we change our environment from what we eat to how we move and the chemicals we are exposed to, we can alter that.
My babies were fed completely differently than most children and I can see now at age 10 and 7 how that has affected their state of health.
They just don't catch anything. Each gets a 24 hour cold about once or twice a year. It is amazing to see.
Would you say this is what the program you watched was saying?
It sounds very interesting...

I can't believe all this talk about don't listen to this doctor and don't listen to that doctor is still going on. Do you guys know the amount of studying and schooling it takes to become a medical doctor? Your doctor isn't an idiot, and if i was you i would listen to him. Yes their are bad doctors out their, but that doesn't mean you throw the baby out with the dirty bathwater now does it? Bad apple in every basket, but for the most part, 90% of doctors, if not more, are good doctors who know what they are talking about. They tell you things not because they don't know what their talking about, but because they genuinely believe it is in your best interested and for YOUR health.
Just curiouse, are any of you Medical doctors in here? If so, than by all means please give us your imput.
God bless,
Alex
