你必须控制你的基因

为了从抑郁症/双相情感障碍中恢复，改变你的想法和改变你对这些疾病的看法对你的恢复至关重要。要痊愈，你必须在细胞层面上痊愈才能改变你的大脑。让我们破除一个巨大的谎言:抑郁症/双相情感障碍不是遗传的!

 

遗传疾病和基因表达之间存在着巨大的差异。基因表达在你的控制之中，你必须控制你的基因表达才能从抑郁/双相情感障碍中恢复过来。许多人，包括许多医生，都认为许多疾病都是遗传的。

 

事实上，只有不到3%的疾病是由基因引起的。唐氏综合症是遗传疾病的一个很好的例子;天生患有这种疾病的人有一种基因缺陷。蓝眼睛也是一种遗传条件;你不会某天早上突然醒来说。“哇，我的蓝眼睛变成棕色了。”那是不可能的。当人们说“它在我的家族中运行”，那是基因表达，而不是遗传条件。遗传疾病和疾病的基因表达之间的区别是:如果一种疾病在你20多岁、30多岁、40多岁、50多岁或更晚的时候发生，这种疾病是身体复制了你的一部分DNA来表达疾病。癌症、糖尿病和抑郁症/双相情感障碍不是遗传疾病;即使你的叔叔、爸爸和姐姐都患上了癌症或糖尿病，或者被诊断为双相情感障碍，你也不一定会患上这些疾病。在这种情况下，我们如何表达基因决定一切。我所说的一切，是指你可以患上疾病或逆转疾病。对你表达的基因的控制是在基因之上的;换句话说，这是“表观遗传”控制。你的身体由70万亿个细胞组成。每个细胞都要吸收营养，产生蛋白质，消除废物。你的细胞产生的蛋白质是从你的DNA中选择的。我想让你们知道蛋白质有多重要，你如何产生这些蛋白质将会逆转或引起疾病。你选择表达的DNA部分是决定健康或疾病的关键。

 

布鲁斯·利普顿博士说得很好:“DNA并不控制我们的生理机能;相反，DNA是由细胞外的信号控制的，包括我们积极和消极思想中发出的能量信息。”你意识到健康是你的自然状态，这是恢复和恢复你的健康和活力的重要一步。布鲁斯·利普顿博士的《感知生物学》是一本值得一读的好书。他讲述了对环境的感知如何改变蛋白质的产生。所以这不是真正发生在你身上的事;而是你如何感知事件。感知转化为不同的DNA产生，这将使我们对疾病有抵抗力或导致疾病。为了从抑郁症/双相情感障碍中恢复，你必须改变你的认知，也必须改变你大脑的连接方式和激活方式。你的感知模式改变了DNA表达，改变了你的大脑结构;这就改变了产生的化学物质;这就改变了你的情绪状态，要么导致疾病，要么治愈疾病。这就是每天冥想、每天祈祷和/或想象对完全康复至关重要的地方。正如代谢临床与实验57:(2008)S16-S23所指出的，处方药物可以引起表观遗传变化，了解这一点也很重要。已知会引起表观遗传变化的药物包括:

·他汀类降胆固醇药物

·抗抑郁药

·β受体阻滞剂

·利尿剂

·它莫西芬

·甲氨蝶呤

·消炎药

甚至·麻醉剂

·口服避孕药

·抗生素

看看下面的期刊文章:

 

表观基因组的永久性变化

 

研究人员最担心的是药物可能会在后代中产生缺陷。他们推测，药物可能会加速当前糖尿病的流行。

 

“…fda批准的药物会导致持续的表观遗传变化。”

“…药物可能与心脏病、癌症、神经和精神障碍、肥胖、糖尿病、白血病、躁郁症、精神分裂症、不孕症和性功能障碍。”

“…这对现代医学的影响是深远的，因为这意味着我们目前对药理学的理解是过于简单的。”

代谢临床与实验57:(2008)S16-S23。

 

鉴于上述信息- fda批准的药物可以引起持久的表观遗传变化-抑郁症/双相情感障碍的康复不能涉及药物或药物治疗方法。事实上，抑郁症/双相情感障碍可能会因许多处方药而恶化，甚至是由某些药物引起的。如果你正在服用处方药，你想完全康复，找出你为什么会被开这些药，并与合格的保健医生合作，减少或消除你对药物的依赖。每一种药物，每一种专利药物，都会减缓或停止代谢过程。另外，你必须考虑到这一点，这听起来很奇怪，但回到上世纪初，药物被称为专利药物。这意味着他们必须获得立普妥或百忧解等药物的专利。要获得专利，一种物质必须是完全独一无二的，是地球上以前从未见过的东西。所以这是一种完全独特的物质，对人体来说是全新的从未被人体系统识别过的物质。药物是一种外来的实体，就像外星人一样——他们把药物放入人体，改变人体的生理机能。在未来，我们会认为用一种对人体不相关的化学物质来改变人体生理机能是绝对疯狂的，并将这种过程称为“医疗保健”。还有一个巨大的问题:我们不能一直使用这种细分为不同职业的医疗保健:内分泌科医生、肺病科医生、心脏病科医生、精神科医生、胃肠科医生、皮肤科医生、血液科医生、神经科医生等。这是一种愚蠢的医疗方法。每个系统都依赖于其他系统。例如:如果患者有慢性疼痛，会导致肠道功能改变，会导致激素分泌改变，导致甲状腺功能改变，导致肾上腺疲劳等。为了恢复健康，你必须观察整个身体。拍摄第一,第二个目标;或者先用药，看看效果如何。这就是当今医疗保健中经常发生的情况。人们很少去寻找疾病背后的原因或“为什么”。今天的医生通常不寻求恢复正常的生理和功能;他们不考虑整个身体或整个人。

 

健康的关键是使用天然产品，并找出身体缺乏的是什么，或身体的毒性来自什么。今天的医生需要尊重身体和身体的智能反应。新的医疗保健模式将着眼于整个人以及所有促成疾病过程的因素，包括物理、化学和情绪压力因素。在我们的诊所，我们把这些都联系在一起。我们以尊重和敬畏的态度对待身体，当然这也包括抑郁症/双相情感障碍的问题。你必须找到身体的物理、化学和情绪压力源。这是恢复健康的关键，而健康是人的自然状态。

 

Chapter 13

You Must Take Control of Your Genes

To recover from Depression / Bipolar Disorder,changing your thoughts and changing your perception of these diseases are vital to your recovery.To heal,you must heal on the cellular level in order to change your brain. Let's break down a huge falsehood: Depression/Bipolar Disorder is NOT GENETIC!!

 

There is a huge difference between genetic disease and genetic expression.Genetic expression is in your control and you must take control of your gene expression to recover from Depression/Bipolar Disorder.Many people,including many doctors, are under the impression that many diseases are genetic.

 

The fact is that less than three percent of diseases are genetic in origin. Down's Syndrome is a good example of a genetic disease; people who are born with this disease have a gene defect. Blue eyes are a genetic condition as well; you don't suddenly wake up one morning and say.“Wow,my blue eyes have turned brown.”That would be impossible.When people say “It runs in my family,”that is genetic expression, not a genetic condition. The difference between a genetic disease and the genetic expression of a disease is:if a disease develops in your 20's,30's,40's,50's,or later in life,that disease is the body copying a part of your DNA that will express a disease.Cancer,Diabetes, and Depression/Bipolar Disorder are not genetic diseases;even if your uncle,dad,and sister all developed cancer or diabetes or were diagnosed with bipolar disorder,you don't have to develop those diseases.In these cases,how we express genes is everything.By everything,I mean you can develop disease or reverse disease. The control of what genes you express is above the genes;in other words,it is "epigenetic”control.Your body is a collection of 70 trillion cells. Each cell has to take in nutrients,produce proteins,and eliminate waste products.The proteins that your cells produce are chosen from parts of your DNA.I want you to get how important the proteins are;how you produce these proteins will reverse disease or cause disease.The parts of DNA you choose to express are the key to health or disease.

 

Dr.Bruce Lipton said it best:"DNA does not control our biology;instead,DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts.”Your awareness of the fact that health is your natural state is a vital step in recovery and in regaining your health and vitality.A great book to read is “The Biology of Perception”by Dr. Bruce Lipton. He covers how perception of the environment changes protein production.So it's not what is really happening to you; it's how you perceive the event.Perception translates to different DNA production,and that will make us resistant to disease or lead to disease. To recover from Depression/Bipolar Disorder, you have to change your perception and also change how your brain is wired and how it fires. Your pattern of perception alters DNA expression and alters the structures of your brain;and that alters the chemicals produced;and that alters your emotional state either causing disease or curing disease.This is where daily meditation,daily prayer,and/or visualization are vital for full recovery. It is also important to know that prescription medications can cause epigenetic changes,as noted in Metabolism Clinical and Experimental 57: (2008) S16-S23.Drugs that are known to cause epigenetic changes include:

·statin cholesterol-lowering drugs

·antidepressants

·beta blockers

·diuretics

·tamoxifen

·methotrexate

·anti-inflammatories

·even anesthetics

·oral contraceptives

·antibiotics.

Look at the journal article below:

 

Permanent Changes in the Epigenome

 

Researchers are most concerned that drugs may produce defects in subsequent generations.They speculate that the current diabetes epidemic may be hastened by drugs.

 

“...FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs can cause persistent epigenetic changes.”

“...pharmaceuticals may be involved in the etiology of heart disease, cancer, nerve and mental disorders, obesity, 

diabetes, leukemia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia,infertility, and sexual dysfunction.”

“...consequences for modern medicine are profound, since it would imply that our current understanding of pharmacology is an oversimplification.”

Metabolism Clinical and Experimental 57: (2008) S16-S23.

 

Given the information above -that FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs can cause persistent epigenetic changes -

recovery from Depression/Bipolar Disorder cannot involve a pharmaceutical or medication approach. In fact,Depression/Bipolar Disorder may be worsened by many prescription medications and even caused by some.If you are taking prescription medications and you want to fully recover,find out why you were prescribed the drugs and work with a qualified health care practitioner to reduce or eliminate your dependency on medications. Every medication,every patented drug,slows or stops metabolic processes. Plus you have to think about this,this is going to sound weird,but back at the turn of the last century,pharmaceutical pills were called patented medicine.That means that they had to get a patent on drugs like Lipitor or Prozac. To be patented, a substance has to becompletely unique,something that's never been seen on the planet before. So this is a completely unique substance,something totally new to the human body that has never been recognized before by a human system.Pharmaceutical drugs are a foreign entity,like an extra-terrestrial - and they're putting it in the human body to alter the physiology of the body.In the future,we're going to think that it's absolutely insane to change human physiology with a chemical that is foreign to the human body and call that procedure “Healthcare.”And there's another huge problem:we cannot keep using this type of healthcare that is segmented into different professions: Endocrinologist,Pulmonologist,Cardiologist,Psychiatrist,Gastroenterologist,Dermatologist,Hematologist,Neurologist,etc. That's a fool's approach to healthcare. Each system is dependent on other systems.For an example: if a patient has chronic pain that will cause altered gut function,that can cause altered hormone production,leading to a change in thyroid function,causing adrenal fatigue,etc.. To restore health, you have to look at the entire body.Shoot first,aim second; or drug first and see how it works out.That is what is happening in health care today too often.The cause or the“why”behind disease is rarely looked for.Doctors today are typically not looking to restore normal physiology and normal function;they are not looking at the whole body or the whole person.

 

The key to health is using natural products and finding out what the body is deficient in or what the body is toxic from. Doctors today need to respect the body and the body's intelligent responses. The new healthcare model will be to look at the whole person and all contributing factors,including the physical,chemical,and emotional stress factors that are contributing to the dis-ease process.At our clinic,we tie it all together.We approach the body with respect and awe,and of course this includes the issue of Depression/Bipolar Disorder.You have to find the body's physical,chemical,and emotional stressors.This is the key to restore health, and health is the natural state of the human being.
