My Dear Readers,

Greetings from Maverick!

Your body never lies! Even before you utter a lie to the outside world, every one of your 70 billion cells have heard it and rejected it as false!! Muscle testing is a scientific method that proves how the muscles lose strength every time you represent something untrue or false. Your body cannot lie for if it reads the messages wrongly, it cannot survive. A healthy body is tuned to listen to every message. A false message is cancerous and depletes the body of life.

It is our thoughts that ultimately become things. Every thing was once a thought.

Here is some fascinating information. All living creatures are made of cells. Inside the cells are the chromosomes that contain a single long strand of DNA. The strands of DNA contain the genetic information that is divided up into genes. The genes that an individual has inherited from his ancestors, contain the instructions the cells need for every function. The information stored in the genes helps to determine traits like eye and hair colour, height and so on.

We used to be believe that this hereditary information determined man’s general health, wellness and longevity. But it is now thought that in fact genetics only plays a small role in these things, maybe 30% or less!

We discovered that surrounding every gene is a protein sleeve. As long as this sleeve surrounds the DNA the information on the strand of DNA is not communicated to the cell. Dawson Church writes in his book Genie in Your Genes “Around each strand of DNA is a protein ‘sleeve.’ This sleeve serves as a barrier contained in the DNA strand and the rest of the intracellular environment. In order for the blueprint in the DNA to be ‘read,’ the sleeve must be unwrapped. Unless it is unwrapped, the DNA strand cannot be ‘read,’ or the information it contains acted upon. Until the information is unwrapped, the blueprint in the DNA lies dormant. That blueprint is required by the cell to construct other proteins that regulate virtually every aspect of life.”

Let me break that down for you. What if you were building a new home. The blueprints for the new home have been delivered to the builder. But right now it is rolled up inside a cardboard tube, and is sitting on his desk. Because the blueprints are concealed inside the tube, the builder does not yet have access to the instructions he needs to start building the home. It is only after he removes the blueprints from the tube, he can see the instructions to begin work.

Similarly, your genes are just a set of blueprints. Even though human evolution in its entirety, may be stored in a gene,  until that information in the DNA is exposed to the cell environment, the gene is dormant.

Perhaps an individual’s genes contain instructions for weight gain, may be for developing cancer, diabetes, receding hairline or maybe the potential for athletic expression or musical genius. But unless these instructions are exposed and given to the cell, the instructions can never be acted upon! This is what we call as gene expression. Only when the information is uncovered and made available to the cell, it becomes expressed.

Somewhere in every human’s ancestry there must have been people with both disease and genius. The whole history of my family must surely include several genetic weaknesses and strengths, as could yours! But they are locked in our genes and we get to unlock it!

Though the DNA is housed inside the nucleus of every cell, the cell nucleus is not the ‘brain’ of the cell. The nucleus is simply the memory location, that stores all of the instructions. It is the cell wall that is the actual brain! It is the cell wall that helps unlock the protein sleeve to help the gene to manifest. Man is not a helpless victim with a predetermined fate, decided by the genes he has inherited from his ancestors that are housed inside his cell nucleus. While our genes definitely determine our characteristics, we have a great deal of control over the final determination in most cases, because we get to choose what we unlock!

How? Well,  the cell wall is covered with gazillions of receptor protein – molecules, each having little antennas, sensing and waiting to receive signals from the cell environment. These signals are picked up by the receptor proteins and transferred through the cell wall, into the nucleus unlocking and removing, a corresponding protein sleeve. This unlocking exposes, certain information. Now the expressed information is there to be acted upon. So it is the signal that triggers the exposing of and implementation of the genetic information. Without the signal the information is only a potential.

And here is the most crucial part! Signals could be chemical like hormones or enzymes. Or… wait for it… they could be energy like emotions and thoughts! The interactions of an individual to the outside world affects the cell’s perceptions. This triggers their interaction within their environment and causes a second by second reprogramming of the individual’s genetics. Now this reprogramming can result in beneficial changes or detrimental ones entirely depending upon the thoughts and emotions attached by the individual at every second of experiencing life! We have scientific proof how an individual’s thoughts and emotions can change him physically! As Norman Cousens has titled his book “Your beliefs become your biology”.

The 70 billion cells that create our body are literally listening to every thought we think, and are responding accordingly. It is time we appreciate that our health is a manifestation of our individual choices unlocking a common genetic potential!

The thoughts you think, the things you say and the actions you take all immediately affect your genetic makeup to some degree. And the emotions you experience at the moment of your decision making can alter your entire life. Be aware. Watch your thoughts. They create you!

Yours in wellbeing
