Bruce Lipton and Epigenetics.

I have spent today at an inspiring seminar given by Prof. Bruce Lipton on "The Biology of Belief." He, along with my friend Marilyn Monk of the Scientific and Medical Network, is one of the pioneers of Epigenetics, an important branch of the New Biology which proves that we are not governed by our Genes nor by our DNA. He demonstrates that it is our deeply programmed beliefs, the patterns of thought energy absorbed by us from conception, through birth, to around six years old, that inform and shape our lives. Our subconscious mind, which accounts for 95% of all our thought activity, determines how we create our physical realities. DNA and genes serve simply as blueprints to create the protein strings that are essential for health. Thought energy provides the biochemical signals that key into the receptors present within all cell membranes, which in turn interact with other areas on the cell membranes called effectors. These then open to allow further signals into the body of the cells to effect creation and behaviour of the protein strings, and also to affect the state of the nucleus. Our conscious mind occupies only up to 5% of all thought activity.

It is the environmental energy in which the cell exists that determines the health of the cell. Perception governs biology.

Last weekend Nick and I drove over to Burwell, a little village just outside of Cambridge, to attend a workshop given by Debbie Rye, a gifted dowser and holistic therapist. She taught us how to use dowsing charts to detect and assess Geopsychic and Geopathic Stress. Fascinating. These subtle energies significantly influence the health and wellbeing of the occupants of a house and, by clearing any negative patterns, the dwellers are enabled if at all possible to return to or to maintain good health. I thoroughly recommend everyone interested in this subject to attend the next time she runs this.

This last Thursday, I was visiting some clients, an investment bank in town, and was pleasantly surprised at how much faster I could clear negative areas in their suite of offices with the help of my pendulum.

Awareness of epigenetics and how to clear negative environmental energy leads me to realise that this is surely the medicine of the future. Although there is an important case to be made for the existence of some medical drugs, it is interesting to learn that the placebo effect (ie: the thought that something will do you good) or the nocebo effect (the thought that something will do you harm) can be potent and affect changes without the need for pharmaceutical medication. It is interesting that Prozac manufacturers have found that a sugar pill placebo has 78% level of success as the real drug. It is also interesting that an adopted child of a family will be likely to develop the same diseases usually regarded as hereditary, thus demonstrating the nocebo effect - ie: that learnt negative thought patterns produce the same negative or disease conditions. Even worse, according to Prof Lipton: apparently pharmaceutical companies screen out those subjects most susceptible to the placebo effects so that they don't interfere with their new drugs research results!
