I actually wanted to post this in the alternative healing section but it says I cannot due to access issues....anyways, I have been reading up on genetics and actually am waiting on a genetic profile test, mainly to see if I have the MTHFR mutation. So, there was an interesting article in Discover Magazine and this really caught my eye: "If diet and chemicals can cause epigenetic changes, could certain experiences — child neglect, drug abuse or other severe stresses — also set off epigenetic changes to the DNA inside the neurons of a person’s brain? That question turned out to be the basis of a new field, behavioral epigenetics, now so vibrant it has spawned dozens of studies and suggested profound new treatments to heal the brain."
Speaking of epigenetics, I would also like to point out that withdrawal syndrome causes epigenetic changes and that is one reason I have always been interested in the Road Back supplements because they claim to alleviate symptoms by targeting a certain gene that is associated with withdrawal. I would really like to hear some honest experiences using the Road Back approach but who can trust anyone's review nowadays without suspecting it to be marketing?
Ok so here is the article:http://discovermagazine.com/2013/may...s#.UbUB7PmmhJT
