Epigenetics: The Death of the Genetic Theory of Disease Transmission

NUTRITION. GENETICS OF DISEASE. BIRTH DEFECTS. ALL are linked in a new field of science called EPIGENETICS. This outstanding font of knowledge suggests direct connections between nutritional deficiencies and a wide range of illnesses previously thought to be hereditary. This is nothing short of an evolution to a new age of thinking that combines biochemistry, nutrition, and Epigenetics with a crash course in the history of disease research and a new way of thinking.Your mother was right: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT and we are also what we absorb. How many times have we heard this, but ignore it to indulge in foods without the proper nutrients our bodies crave for optimum health? Even as we fall prey to otherwise preventable diseases historically blamed on hereditary "bad genes". All too often, I am one of you, but hopefully no more. This enlightening book lays out the link between how the body works and its nutritional needs through decades of groundbreaking animal and human research on disease prevention, cures, and medical dogma that promotes pharmaceutical "maintenance" of health conditions/symptoms that cannot be cured with medicine.The author is a veterinarian by trade, but his lifelong innovative biomedical research blows the link between genetics and disease to smithereens, and he joins forces with other well-known scientists. This book is not for the casual reader. It's a serious read packed with detailed science, studies/research/chemistry, and enough innovative thinking to blow our minds. Few among us are disease-free, and I urge every human to indulge in this book. Put down the pie and pick up this book. The takeaway is astounding and could be YOUR cure.There was a time, even recently, that I would have rejected the notion of any explanation other than diseases being transmitted strictly through genes and DNA. You've got good genes or bad genes, right? The answers to and prevention of what is actually many self-caused conditions have been right under our noses all along, if you open your mind to the evidence of Epigenetics front of you about how nutrition, not heredity, alters genes when regarding many diseases.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the full picture of the history of this subject and where Dr. Joel Wallach fits in.

Buen libro, para médicos, enfermeras, estudiantes y público que le interesen estos temas. gracias. Didáctico, ameno, barato, accesible, interesante y pulcro.

A "mind-boggling" authoritative piece of literary work.Surely, this is one of the most comprehensive and detailed publications around with respect to the different schools of medical thought, the politics of treatment modalities, and the successes and failures to cure appurtenant to the differing approaches to health- and sickness-care.

Ce livre n'est pas scientifique. Aucune reference a d'autres auteurs. Vraiment dommage car Joel Wallach est assez intelligent, d'une grande experience et une personne entreprenante, mais enormement frustre, donc il ne raconte que les deboires et echecs de sa vie dans ce livre exagerement long. Le cote scientifique n'en est plus credible. Et puis le titre (epigenetique) est mensonger car il n'est pas du tout question des recentes decouvertes de cette nouvelle science (le controle de l'expression des genes par la partie ADN (98%) qui ne code pas de proteines, ni des histones qui ont un role similaire)
