"This is not true for two small pieces of our DNA: the Y chromosome, inherited from male to male (the females do not have it), and the mitochondrial dna, inherited from female to female (the males do have it, but they cannot pass it to their offspring). This peculiarity makes it much easier to trace back the history of a population through the female (in the case of mitochondrial dna) or male (Y chromosome) to its founding ancestors. Using dna, we've traced every human being on Earth back to founding female lineages." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"You can use these same steps over and over again to identify the stories in your dna that underlie any issue you are dealing with, to reset your genetic code, and to manifest the new patterns you want to see in your life. (I also offer more in-depth classes to help you further develop your abilities in healing and manifestation.) Choosing Your Numbers When working with the "Five Steps to Healing," be sure to allow yourself quiet time so you can give your undivided attention to the process, which works at levels as deep as you allow it to." - Margaret Ruby, The dna of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.)

"Phytochemicals fuel cellular mechanisms to repair damaged dna sequences, bringing the cell back to normal. 3. Phytochemicals impede proliferation or duplication of cells with dna damage. 4. Phytochemicals protect the dna against further damage. Precancerous cells More dna damage occurs and cancer develops Cancer Is Much More Preventable than Treatable The process of carcinogenesis entails an accumulation of mutations or damage to our dna (the cellular blueprint) over the course of twenty to forty years. You must start protecting yourself today, not after you find out you have cancer." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"Although children from the same parents have the same stories recorded in their dna, the stories lie dormant until an event from this life triggers the story into action. Whether or not each child manifests their various ancestral options is determined by the emotions that each one experiences. That is what turns the genetic program on or off. For example, my brother has arthritis, but I do not. He had a key experience that I did not have: He attended boarding school away from home, which was a lonely time for him." - Margaret Ruby, The dna of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.) "What is the original story residing in your dna that is not compatible with the vibration of your perfect blueprint of wellness and abundance? How did you come to accept and allow that belief to perpetuate itself? How has it shaped your actions and reactions and created a circumstance you are not happy with? Healing is not just about "fixing" physical, emotional, and mental imbalances. Healing is understanding your life's journey and gaining the ability to move forward with that journey. It is about keeping your heart open to whatever lessons come your way." - Margaret Ruby, The dna of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.)

"Rather than thinking of dna as a rigid structure . . . dna is more like a chemical chameleon, constantly altering its fine structure in response to changes in the cellular environment. It's a whole new way to look at dna." Doing a simple thing like putting good food on your table could lead to something really good for your body's dna. Alexandra Ramdin of Seattle was the mother of two young daughters ages two and five when her family took part in a University of Washington study of Seattle area preschoolers to determine if consuming organic foods truly reduced children's pesticide exposures." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"You must find the low-vibrational story that was handed down from your ancestors through your genes that has created the interference pattern in your dna and that is causing the low-vibrational disturbance in your physical or emotional world. When the low vibration is neutralized and removed, the destructive pattern is transformed into a constructive one, allowing the body to return quickly to its inherent blueprint of wellness. Sometimes we carry patterns for so many years that we wonder if we can really let go of them easily." - Margaret Ruby, The dna of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.)

"RECOMBINANT dna • The dna formed by combining segments of dna from different types of organisms. Recombinant dna technology is one technique of genetic engineering. RECOMBINANT dna TECHNOLOGY • A broad range of techniques involving the manipulation of genetic material of organisms, including technologies by which scientists isolate genes from one organism and insert them into another. The term is often used synonymously with genetic engineering and to describe dna sequences isolated from and transferred between organisms by genetic engineering techniques." - Ruth Winter, Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives: A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients Vitamin E (Get the book.)

"Bl2 (Cobalamin) Manufacture of dna and RNA in nuclei of cells, and in substance covering nerves. Eggs, liver, fish, oysters, meat. Folate (Folic acid) Manufacture of red and while blood cells and dna. Important for growth. Yeast, liver, dark green leafy vegetables, wheatgerm. C Involved in growth and maintenance of connective tissue, blood vessels, bones and teeth, also in manufacture of hormones. Assists wound healing and is antioxidant. Many fruits and vegetables, especially citrus, tomato, capsicum, broccoli, strawberries, guava, potato, blackcurrants." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Ames has found that even subtle micronutrient deficiencies—far below the levels needed to produce acute deficiency diseases—can cause damage to dna that may lead to cancer. Studying cultured human cells, he's found that "deficiency of vitamins C, E, B12, B6, niacin, folic acid, iron or zinc appears to mimic radiation by causing single- and double-strand dna breaks, oxidative lesions, or both"—precursors to cancer. "This has serious implications, as half of the U.S. population may be deficient in at least one of these micronutrients." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"With a simple blood test, we can look at your dna and determine if you are at risk for breast cancer, stroke, heart disease, dementia, or osteoporosis. Your daughter can take this same test to see if she is at risk of a stroke if she uses birth control pills. You now have the tools to learn which enzymes in your body, coded by your dna, are sluggish, and what foods and supplements you need to move them along. You can be proactive to prevent your own heart attack and cancer. Your health doesn't have to be a crap shoot, and you don't have to succumb to your genetic shortcomings." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"At first it was commonly believed that free radicals damaged the dna of the cell. Then in 1978, Imre Nagy, M.D., a Hungarian scientist, 197 analyzed cells taken from people who were a hundred years old to find that their cells still could reproduce and their cell dna was not damaged. Through years of research, Dr. Nagy concluded in his thesis about the membrane hypothesis of aging that free radicals did most of their damage to the outer layer of the cell, not the dna. Once the cell membrane was damaged, it started to lose its ability to let nutrients in and waste out." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"While there is no direct scientific evidence that taking a daily multiple vitamin and mineral supplement will prevent prostate cancer, a number of benefits are worth considering: Niacin, a B vitamin, works at the dna level in the cell nucleus with an enzyme that repairs dna. Being sure you have sufficient niacin makes sense. Similarly, folic acid, another B vitamin, is essential in dna synthesis and in the way in which genes are expressed. Data has accumulated that indicates folic acid shortfalls predispose people to cancer. It makes sense to be sure your folic acid is up to optimum levels." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"DNA test through his site that can tell if a person is a poor metabolizer of Prozac and related drugs. "I should not have to be the one" to publicize the test, Harper said Friday. "I'd rather be doing other things on my nights and weekends." But drug companies and doctors aren't doing enough to warn users of serious side effects from antidepressants, said Harper, who noted he receives hundreds of e-mails a week from people who read his Web site. Harper said he hopes to arrange to sell the test for about $245 through Genelex Corp. of Redmond, Wash., a direct-to-consumer dna testing firm." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"We know that vitamin D slows a cell's life cycle, which is good because this means that the D lets fewer cells replicate their dna and divide. Your cells make fewer errors because they have the time and the resources to correct their few errors. The problem is, cells have a limited capacity to fix those errors in dna replication. In part, vitamin D controls the genes and enzymes that can repair errors. Further, if errors slip past your body's quality-control officers, vitamin D may help to ensure that the bad parts or defective cells are destroyed, as a last-ditch form of quality control." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Breath contains dna, and researchers have found that smokers' breath can reveal dna changes linked to lung cancer. The hope is that breath analysis will help detect lung cancer early in smokers and predict which of them are at high risk for this killer disease. smoking or chewing tobacco and having poor dental hygiene. It can also signal that something is going terribly awry in your mouth, such as an abscessed or impacted tooth or a gum, mouth, or tongue disease. About 85% of cases of bad breath originate in the mouth itself." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Our very dna has encoded in it a memory of a time when we all lived close to spirit and its individual manifestations. This form of shamanism, in which we all have access to spirit in our everyday lives, is what Eliot Cowan, author of Plant Spirit Medicine, refers to as "household shamanism." This is not an appropriation of an indigenous culture's customs or beliefs, but rather is a natural progression of human evolution to live within a spiritual ecology. People working and living in this way are not shamans but instead are those who practice in a shamanic way." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) "The spiraling force at the very core of our beings is the double helix of our dna, which looks like a spiral staircase with pairs of nucleotides making steps, which are attached to two strands of sugar phosphate backbone that are the stair railings. The ladder or rope or staircase is an image throughout the shamanic world that indicates the place from which knowledge springs. I remember the first time I journeyed to the underworld; I was merely instructed to go without any indication of how to get there." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) "Plants and people have at the core of their being, within their very dna, particles of light that can become coherent. Coherence is the ability to not break apart into points of light but to maintain a beam of light that radiates out and affects that which it comes in contact with. It is this light that carries intelligence and is the foundation for the ability of plants and people to communicate with each other "at the speed of light," as Fritz Popp suggests." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Research published in an October 2007 issue of the International Journal of Cosmetic Science reported that when an extract from black tea leaves was topically applied to skin that was then exposed to UV radiation, burning was prevented, apparently because the extract absorbed the UVB rays within cells, protecting dna against damage from sun exposure." - Samuel S.

"Our dna happens to have evolved out of standard primate dna and still has a 98 per cent similarity to chimpanzee dna (and 85% similarity to the dna of the South American spider monkey). We thus have basically the same gross anatomy as other primates, the same nervous systems, basically the same sense organs, etc. (Our more highly developed cortexes allow us to perform certain "higher" or more complex mental functions than other primates, but our perceptions remain largely within the primate norm." - Robert Anton Wilson, Quantum Psychology: How Brain Software Programs You and Your World (Get the book.)

"This is found at the core of the cell in the dna, and it is believed that these phonons and photons are responsible for an intricate communication network throughout all living cells. Traditionally, sound has been used for communication and healing in many cultures. Jeremy Narby says, "According to the shamans of the entire world, one establishes communication with spirits via music." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"These Fragaria chiloensis fruits supplied dna that, when crossed with the Virginian strawberry, created the modern strawberries we eat today. To introduce a seed into one's homeland was a way of enlarging its range and widening the horizons of human knowledge. As Thomas Jefferson said, "The greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture." This rationale was how Jefferson justified smuggling rice out of Italy (risking execution) and hemp seeds out of China." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"By the time that Popp had his light machine, he was more or less on his own with regard to a radiation theory of dna. Nevertheless, he doggedly pressed on with his experiments, learning more about the properties of this mysterious light. The more he tested, the more he discovered that all living things - from the most basic of plants or animals, to human beings in all their sophisticated complexity ?emitted a permanent current of photons, from only a few to hundreds." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "It was altogether possible, he realized, that he might have stumbled upon the missing link in current dna theory that could account for perhaps the greatest miracle of all in human biology: the means by which a single cell turns into a fully formed human being. One of the greatest mysteries of biology is how we and every other living thing take geometric shape. Modern scientists mostly understand how we have blue eyes or grow to six foot one, and even how cells divide." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)
