I read that it is possible to enlarge breasts by vizualising them bigger))) I read testimonies that it actually works. Did anyone else try this? I'm really short, and I want to grow taller. So if I see myself the height I want to be, I will grow to that height? Is that possible? I just don't want wasting my time on something that may not even be possible) So what do you think? |
well, if you are using the term "Genes" as meaning you DNA - you can change your DNA (in a way).
" The more we learn about the human genome, the less DNA looks like destiny.
As scientists discover more about the "epigenome," a layer of biochemical reactions that turns genes on and off, they're finding that it plays a big part in health and heredity.
By mapping the epigenome and linking it with genomic and health information, scientists believe they can develop better ways to predict, diagnose and treat disease.
"A new world is opening up, one that is so much more complex than the genomic world," said Moshe Szyf, an epigeneticist at Canada's McGill University.
The epigenome can change according to an individual's environment, and is passed from generation to generation. It's part of the reason why "identical" twins can be so different, and it's also why not only the children but the grandchildren of women who suffered malnutrition during pregnancy are likely to weigh less at birth.
"Now we're even talking about how to see if socioeconomic status has an impact on the epigenome," Szyf said.
Researchers have already linked some human cancers with epigenetic changes. In a few years, scientists hope that doctors, by looking at an individual's epigenome, will be able to detect cancer early and determine what treatments to use.
The same might be done for other diseases -- and as the effect of the environment on epigenetic change is better understood, people will be able to address the environmental aspects of health. "

Whew! Your DNA Isn't Your Destiny
Here is what I find most fascinating with this research -- they see a link between the epigenome and "Environment" - but they don't know for sure what exactly that link is - maybe it is an actual physical substance (food,nutrients, toxins,and so on) - but MAYBE it is mental - or emotional???? maybe it is your very thoughts and beliefs.
for instance they discuss how women with inadequate nutrition saw changes in the DNA of their fetus and that childs children for like 3 generations, but I say if you are starving or at the very least very hungry all the time and you're pregnant and worried about your unborn baby and feeling lack & stress - perhaps this in and of itself is enough to recode the dna??? just a thought.
