你必須控制你的基因

為了從抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙中恢復(fù)，改變你的想法和改變你對(duì)這些疾病的看法對(duì)你的恢復(fù)至關(guān)重要。要痊愈，你必須在細(xì)胞層面上痊愈才能改變你的大腦。讓我們破除一個(gè)巨大的謊言:抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙不是遺傳的!

?

遺傳疾病和基因表達(dá)之間存在著巨大的差異?；虮磉_(dá)在你的控制之中，你必須控制你的基因表達(dá)才能從抑郁/雙相情感障礙中恢復(fù)過(guò)來(lái)。許多人，包括許多醫(yī)生，都認(rèn)為許多疾病都是遺傳的。

?

事實(shí)上，只有不到3%的疾病是由基因引起的。唐氏綜合癥是遺傳疾病的一個(gè)很好的例子;天生患有這種疾病的人有一種基因缺陷。藍(lán)眼睛也是一種遺傳條件;你不會(huì)某天早上突然醒來(lái)說(shuō)?！巴?，我的藍(lán)眼睛變成棕色了?！蹦鞘遣豢赡艿?。當(dāng)人們說(shuō)“它在我的家族中運(yùn)行”，那是基因表達(dá)，而不是遺傳條件。遺傳疾病和疾病的基因表達(dá)之間的區(qū)別是:如果一種疾病在你20多歲、30多歲、40多歲、50多歲或更晚的時(shí)候發(fā)生，這種疾病是身體復(fù)制了你的一部分DNA來(lái)表達(dá)疾病。癌癥、糖尿病和抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙不是遺傳疾病;即使你的叔叔、爸爸和姐姐都患上了癌癥或糖尿病，或者被診斷為雙相情感障礙，你也不一定會(huì)患上這些疾病。在這種情況下，我們?nèi)绾伪磉_(dá)基因決定一切。我所說(shuō)的一切，是指你可以患上疾病或逆轉(zhuǎn)疾病。對(duì)你表達(dá)的基因的控制是在基因之上的;換句話(huà)說(shuō)，這是“表觀(guān)遺傳”控制。你的身體由70萬(wàn)億個(gè)細(xì)胞組成。每個(gè)細(xì)胞都要吸收營(yíng)養(yǎng)，產(chǎn)生蛋白質(zhì)，消除廢物。你的細(xì)胞產(chǎn)生的蛋白質(zhì)是從你的DNA中選擇的。我想讓你們知道蛋白質(zhì)有多重要，你如何產(chǎn)生這些蛋白質(zhì)將會(huì)逆轉(zhuǎn)或引起疾病。你選擇表達(dá)的DNA部分是決定健康或疾病的關(guān)鍵。

?

布魯斯·利普頓博士說(shuō)得很好:“DNA并不控制我們的生理機(jī)能;相反，DNA是由細(xì)胞外的信號(hào)控制的，包括我們積極和消極思想中發(fā)出的能量信息。”你意識(shí)到健康是你的自然狀態(tài)，這是恢復(fù)和恢復(fù)你的健康和活力的重要一步。布魯斯·利普頓博士的《感知生物學(xué)》是一本值得一讀的好書(shū)。他講述了對(duì)環(huán)境的感知如何改變蛋白質(zhì)的產(chǎn)生。所以這不是真正發(fā)生在你身上的事;而是你如何感知事件。感知轉(zhuǎn)化為不同的DNA產(chǎn)生，這將使我們對(duì)疾病有抵抗力或?qū)е录膊　榱藦囊钟舭Y/雙相情感障礙中恢復(fù)，你必須改變你的認(rèn)知，也必須改變你大腦的連接方式和激活方式。你的感知模式改變了DNA表達(dá)，改變了你的大腦結(jié)構(gòu);這就改變了產(chǎn)生的化學(xué)物質(zhì);這就改變了你的情緒狀態(tài)，要么導(dǎo)致疾病，要么治愈疾病。這就是每天冥想、每天祈禱和/或想象對(duì)完全康復(fù)至關(guān)重要的地方。正如代謝臨床與實(shí)驗(yàn)57:(2008)S16-S23所指出的，處方藥物可以引起表觀(guān)遺傳變化，了解這一點(diǎn)也很重要。已知會(huì)引起表觀(guān)遺傳變化的藥物包括:

·他汀類(lèi)降膽固醇藥物

·抗抑郁藥

·β受體阻滯劑

·利尿劑

·它莫西芬

·甲氨蝶呤

·消炎藥

甚至·麻醉劑

·口服避孕藥

·抗生素

鑒于上述信息- fda批準(zhǔn)的藥物可以引起持久的表觀(guān)遺傳變化-抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙的康復(fù)不能涉及藥物或藥物治療方法。事實(shí)上，抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙可能會(huì)因許多處方藥而惡化，甚至是由某些藥物引起的。如果你正在服用處方藥，你想完全康復(fù)，找出你為什么會(huì)被開(kāi)這些藥，并與合格的保健醫(yī)生合作，減少或消除你對(duì)藥物的依賴(lài)。每一種藥物，每一種專(zhuān)利藥物，都會(huì)減緩或停止代謝過(guò)程。另外，你必須考慮到這一點(diǎn)，這聽(tīng)起來(lái)很奇怪，但回到上世紀(jì)初，藥物被稱(chēng)為專(zhuān)利藥物。這意味著他們必須獲得立普妥或百憂(yōu)解等藥物的專(zhuān)利。要獲得專(zhuān)利，一種物質(zhì)必須是完全獨(dú)一無(wú)二的，是地球上以前從未見(jiàn)過(guò)的東西。所以這是一種完全獨(dú)特的物質(zhì)，對(duì)人體來(lái)說(shuō)是全新的從未被人體系統(tǒng)識(shí)別過(guò)的物質(zhì)。藥物是一種外來(lái)的實(shí)體，就像外星人一樣——他們把藥物放入人體，改變?nèi)梭w的生理機(jī)能。在未來(lái)，我們會(huì)認(rèn)為用一種對(duì)人體不相關(guān)的化學(xué)物質(zhì)來(lái)改變?nèi)梭w生理機(jī)能是絕對(duì)瘋狂的，并將這種過(guò)程稱(chēng)為“醫(yī)療保健”。還有一個(gè)巨大的問(wèn)題:我們不能一直使用這種細(xì)分為不同職業(yè)的醫(yī)療保健:內(nèi)分泌科醫(yī)生、肺病科醫(yī)生、心臟病科醫(yī)生、精神科醫(yī)生、胃腸科醫(yī)生、皮膚科醫(yī)生、血液科醫(yī)生、神經(jīng)科醫(yī)生等。這是一種愚蠢的醫(yī)療方法。每個(gè)系統(tǒng)都依賴(lài)于其他系統(tǒng)。例如:如果患者有慢性疼痛，會(huì)導(dǎo)致腸道功能改變，會(huì)導(dǎo)致激素分泌改變，導(dǎo)致甲狀腺功能改變，導(dǎo)致腎上腺疲勞等。為了恢復(fù)健康，你必須觀(guān)察整個(gè)身體。拍攝第一,第二個(gè)目標(biāo);或者先用藥，看看效果如何。這就是當(dāng)今醫(yī)療保健中經(jīng)常發(fā)生的情況。人們很少去尋找疾病背后的原因或“為什么”。今天的醫(yī)生通常不尋求恢復(fù)正常的生理和功能;他們不考慮整個(gè)身體或整個(gè)人。

?

健康的關(guān)鍵是使用天然產(chǎn)品，并找出身體缺乏的是什么，或身體的毒性來(lái)自什么。今天的醫(yī)生需要尊重身體和身體的智能反應(yīng)。新的醫(yī)療保健模式將著眼于整個(gè)人以及所有促成疾病過(guò)程的因素，包括物理、化學(xué)和情緒壓力因素。在我們的診所，我們把這些都聯(lián)系在一起。我們以尊重和敬畏的態(tài)度對(duì)待身體，當(dāng)然這也包括抑郁癥/雙相情感障礙的問(wèn)題。你必須找到身體的物理、化學(xué)和情緒壓力源。這是恢復(fù)健康的關(guān)鍵，而健康是人的自然狀態(tài)。

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.
