Dr Joe Dispenza with a background in biochemistry, neurology and cellular biology explains that "bombarding" the cell with the same attitude ( or emotion and the chemicals or neuropeptides released by that emotion ), means that when the cell divides the next cell will have more receptor sites for those particular neuropeptides and less receptor sites for nutrients for vitamins and minerals such as those required for methylation to stop the gene expression.-Thanks. Great article on histones, and the Nucleasome. Very clear description and of the epgenetic effects on gene expression with methylation and acetylation. It is where I get to the nuitritional supplement part that I cringe a little. Those additives are not that targeted.-On the other hand I follow a Mediterranean diet and swim 21 minutes six days a week against the clock at a sub-maximal exercise pulse, all because of my background training in exercise physiology.
