CHAPTER 22
Spirituality and
Our Unique DNA
Before my doctoral defense at Albany Medical College, my
advisor suggested that I bring up the weak points in my thesis
myself before they were pointed out by the committee. He
suggested that I be direct and honest and make sure I was the
one that identified and discussed the questionable data, not to
wait to have someone else identify the problem areas. That was
wonderful advice then and I still believe in being upfront, honest
and noting where the weak points are rather than waiting to have
someone else do it.
There have been two main complaints or criticisms of this
program. The first, when I initially came out with this program the
feedback was that it was too complicated. I have tried to rectify
that situation by designing specially compounded supplements,
by designing my own nutrigenomic test, by writing books and
offering a workbook and answering questions online as well as
giving presentations all to try to simplify and explain the program

So that gets us to why, why would I do this? Why
would someone just share?
The conventional wisdom is that it is not advised to talk about
spirituality when it comes to science, as somehow the perception
is that you cannot be a spiritual person and intrinsically rooted in
science at the same time. But that is the reality. I am a spiritual
person who believes that if you are blessed in life
with three healthy children who are beautiful inside
and out, and a husband who supports you in every
aspect of your lifethat you pay it forward. It has been
a long time since I included a spiritual chapter in a book, as the
common wisdom was that people will think differently of you if
you openly share your thoughts and beliefs on the subject of
spirituality. Well, some people will continue to disparage my
motives regardless of what I say or do. Thus, I have chosen to
end this book, designed to chart your Roadmap to health, on a
spiritual note. I truly feel that just as herbs and supplements can
help you to heal, so too can positive affirmations and spiritual
intent make a difference in health and wellness.
I truly believe that our actions do matter, that we are here on this
Earth to learn lessons and to change and grow as individuals in
a positive manner. I take to heart the words of Lao Tzu: Watch

McGill University (Spirituality and Health) has shown that brains from
senior citizens with low self-esteem had atrophied leading to a
higher incidence of memory loss than those who felt good about
themselves. People scoring higher on anxiety tests were 25%
more likely to have premalignancies (Clinical Pearls). Two separate
studies support a correlation between prayer and the ability to
become pregnant (Cuvelier, Psychology Today). Your frame of mind,
as evidenced by your spirituality, appears to increase life span
(Bottom Line Health).
This mind/body effect can be very powerful even when it comes
to surgery. In a study involving 30 patients, only 12 received the
actual surgical treatment; the other 18 only received a sham
surgical procedure. Neither the participants, nor the medical
attending staff knew which procedure each participant received.
One year later, the 10 patients who thought they received the
transplant reported better physical, emotional, and social
functioning than the 20 who believed they had received the sham
surgery. The medical staff also reported improved outcomes in
the patients who believed they had received the treatment. Of the
10 who were doing better, and believed they had received the
actual surgical procedure, only 4 of them had in fact received the
treatment. This study helps to confirm that believing in a treatment
and the power of positive thinking help to make it more effective

human language.
To this end they compared the rules of syntax (the way in which
words are put together to form phrases and sentences), semantics
(the study of meaning in language forms) and the basic rules of
grammar. They found that the alkalines of our DNA follow a
regular grammar and do have set rules just like our languages"
(Fosar, G. and Bludorf, F., Vernetzte Intelligenz). The results of this work
may help to explain aspects of Era III medicine as well as certain
facets of clairvoyance, intuition as well as spontaneous and
remote acts of healing.
This 95% to 98% junk DNA that is not utilized to make protein
is a situation that may be unique to certain species. Bacteria, for
instance, use the majority of their DNA for protein production.
This has led to the suggestion that the function of the majority of
human DNA is to make RNAs that may be involved in
communication and cellular regulation. Less than 2% of the 3.2
billion bases in the human genome code for proteinsDoes this
suggest that the reason for the superiority of humans lies in the
98% of the genome that does not code for proteins? Is it not
conceivable that the end products of many mammalian genes are
not proteins, but RNAs?...Is it conceivable that certain RNA
molecules are the actual creators and controllers of life? (Pieztch,
J. Understanding the RNAissance).
