Even thoughts can turn genes on and off

[Guest guest]

An interesting story from the science news in light of 5-Phases.

 

Jim Ramholz

 

 

It wasn't the kind of passage you usually encounter in a strait-

laced science journal: " I have had to spend periods of several weeks

on a remote island in comparative isolation, " Anonymous wrote in

Nature. Curiously, he continued, the day before he was due for shore

leave his beard grew noticeably: " I have come to the conclusion that

the stimulus for (this) growth is related to the resumption of

sexual activity. "

 

Neither Anonymous nor his fellow scientists were surprised that the

aforementioned activity would loose a flood of testosterone, which

affects beards the way Miracle-Gro affects tomato plants. No, the

weird part is that merely anticipating female companionship did the

trick.

 

Just as stress in the med students I wrote about last week altered

the expression of genes in their immune systems, so libidinous

thoughts seem to affect gene expression, says developmental

psychologist David Moore of Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif.

Thoughts can cause the release of hormones that can bind to

DNA, " turning genes 'on' or 'off.' "

I believe this message from James Ramholz expresses an important idea that I constantly present to my students. That behavior and ultimately thoughts and feelings can enhance or diminish genetic expression. The world hasn't changed since the science of genetics has developed. Good health is still about promoting good stresses (joyful activities, sports, arts) and reducing bad stresses (overwork, injurious activities, poor diet.)

Even thoughts can turn genes "on" and "off"

Emmanuel:

 

Science seems to be catching up with CM. Pretty soon, it will all be

their ideas.

 

We can also trace the effects of emotions on physiology in the

pulses. The Nan Jing method divides each pulse position into three

different depths. The qi depth also indicates the emotional state

related to the organ. Many disorders, if not most, are clearly

driven or underscored by all the things you refer to.

 

The best discussion on emotions from the Chinese perspective, IMO,

is Larre and De la Rochat's book, The Seven Emotions. Their

discussion is very close to actual pulse descriptions.

 

Science has also recently discovered the pentaquark, a five-fold

structure of subatomic particles. 5-Elements, the pentaquark---

coincidence, I think not.

 

The rules of nature are reiterated on every scale. It seems that CM

may be obliged to come to terms with the molecular scale.

Here's something from the Ohio Univeristy website, a definition of a

pentaquark:

 

" A pentaquark is a hadron that is composed of 4 valence quarks and one

valence antiquark. For the exotic pentaquark under study here, the

valence quarks consist of two up quarks, two down quarks, and one

strange antiquark. The object has an associated strangeness of S=+1. "

 

Compared to " strangeness " , " wind-phlegm " doesn't sound so bizarre

anymore. : )

 

-al.

Jim,

 

The Buddhist tradition has iterated the thousand thousand universes long ago. The molecular is but one of them. I sense that CM will come to terms with all in its path. Balance, synchronicity and the uninhibited flow of Qi as the three Daoist principles certain works with regard to molecular genetics as much as it does with macroscopic physiology. Viruses can fit several genes worth of information into 1.5 gene's worth of space by starting at unique starting points. The polymerase enzyme can read forward or backward from different starting points wherein several overlapping gene's exist. Try writing a sentence like that. You would have to tell a story based on six sentences all of which fits into the space of 1.5 sentences. You would have to figure out not only the correct starting point, but also the direction in which to travel and on top of that figure out the synchronicity. That is the product of one gene would also be the promoter activator of the next gene to be read in sequence. Ahhhh ... synchronicity.

Sounds easier than pulse diagnosis.

One of my favorite books. It never fails to inspire me. Their new

" Extraordinary Fu " text is equally great.

This expresses clearly the Buddhist and Kabbalistic principles of

sentience in the universe. In other words, intelligence works at macro

and microscopic levels, not just inside the human skull. When we are

dealing with viruses, we are dealing with living intelligences who

respond to dynamics and change with fluidity and flexibility.
