Introduction
We were all brought up to think
the genome was it.It's really been a
watershed in understanding that there
is something beyond the genome.
C. David Allis, Rockefeller University molecular biologist.

Allis, professor at Rockefeller University in New York, but the
epigenome will tell us how this whole thing gets executed. This
whole thing, of course, includes the way that genetic traits are
involved in the development (or not) of disease within an
individual.
Identical twins provide a powerful illustration of this point.
Although their genes are identical, many aspects of their individual bodies, such as their health, wellbeing, and even (over time)
their physical appearance, can vary dramatically. But even in the
short term, striking differences can be seen. One might be
normal, while the other is autistic, says Dr. Allis. We cant
explain that on the basis of pure genetics because the DNA is
identical. Something else must be at play. That something else
is epigenetics, which guides gene expression.
It is commonly thought that if you have the gene for condition
X, eventually and inevitably you will develop condition X, and
that is that. There are some genes for which this rule holds true.
However, many other genes function more as pre-dispositional
factors than ultimate deciders. For instance, if you dont have the
gene (or gene cluster) for certain types of breast cancer, you wont
develop it; however, if you do have the gene (or cluster), this means
that you have a genetic predisposition to developing cancer. A
predisposition essentially means a tendency toward developing
a particular disease. But in order for this tendency to become a
reality, so that you actually do develop the disease, the genes
involved must express themselves, or become activated. Whether
you do or dont develop breast cancer, then, depends on whether
the gene cluster is activated. In general, genes are expressed if and
only if all conditions are right for their activation.
Actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolies decision to undergo
a preventative double mastectomy received heavy press coverage.

that we can influence the
behavior of our genes
and outsmart our genetic
programmingis through
the foods we choose to eat.
In a Psychology Today article
exploring how Jolies choice
could potentially affect
other women who carry
the gene mutation, Gazella
refers to a 2009 study
published in Breast Cancer
Research and Treatment. That
study showed that a high
consumption of fruits and vegetables decreased the likelihood that
women with the inherited BRCA mutation will develop cancer.
Ultimately, we may have far more choices than weve
ever imagined when it comes to influencing and even determining
our genetic futures.
Indeed, scientists are continually uncovering further evidence
of just how prominent the role of epigenetics is in almost every
aspect of our health. And the links, although powerful, arent always
obvious. For instance, a recent study showed that your place in
societys pecking order can result in epigenetic alterations that
make you more (or less) likely to die of a heart attack.
This book has been carefully designed to help you unlock the
incredible potential of epigenetics for shaping your own health
now and far into the future. In it you will find information on the

cellsfrom those making up the nail on your pinky finger to
those forming the innermost chamber of your hearthave an
identical DNA blueprint, regardless of how completely different
the functions each cell serves may be.
Most people have heard about stem cells in the media. Stem
cell research has garnered a great deal of attention and even controversy because with the present state of technology, stem cell
research requires the destruction of a human embryo in order to
extract the stem cell line. Yet, the interest in and push for stem cell
research is not likely to decline any time soon, given the potential
these cells offer to medical science. Stem cells offer near infinite
possibilities for researchers, because of the way they can develop
into all the different kinds of tissues found in the human body.
Ultimately, your genes carry the instructions that not only first
allowed your body (and every organ, tissue, and cell) to develop, but
that also now allow your body to create all the things it needs to
function. Those functions are set by your epigenes, which instruct
fetal cells to develop according to their intended roles. Until recently
scientists believed that cellular function was set during gestation,
but it has now been shown that epigenes are actively involved in cell
function over the entire course of a persons life.

white, and the remaining two have black and white stripes. Clearly,
the striped kittens inherited the melanin-producing gene, but the
melanin was only expressed sporadically, producing stripes.
Thisthe varied expression of identical genes in real life
is what epigenetics is all about.
Epigenes determine whether a gene is switched on or off.
They also control how outside factors such as diet and stress
affect your genes. But thats not all; they can also influence the
genes of your descendants.

from the rest of the country that during the 1800s, if the local
harvest was bad, people simply starved. Conversely, in years of
abundant harvest, the people of Norrbotten tended to feast for
months.
Dr. Bygren was interested in whether the feast or famine
environment in the region affected the health of children, and if so,
whether the effects were short-lived or continued to make themselves
felt over the long term. In order to pursue these questions, he
designed a study aimed at investigating potential links between
environmental conditions and health across several generations.
Dr. Bygrens first step was to collect data from a random
sample of 99 people born in 1905 in the Overkalix parish of
Norrbotten. He then used historical records to trace their parents
and grandparents. By analyzing agricultural records, Dr. Bygren
and two of his colleagues were able to see, in meticulous detail,
how much food had been available to the parents and grandparents during their childhoods.
Dr. Bygrens findings showed that the sons and grandsons of
boys who, thanks to a plentiful harvest, went from normal eating
to feasting in a single season lived considerably shorter lives than
average. In the first of his papers on Norrbotton (published in
2001 in the Dutch journal Acta Biotheoretica), Dr. Bygren reported
that the grandsons of the boys who had overeaten died an average
of six years earlier than the grandsons of those who had suffered
through a starving winter. As disturbing as this six year difference
is, the actual longevity gap turns out to be even more shocking.
After controlling for various socioeconomic factors, Dr. Bygren
and his team discovered the longevity gap jumped to a remarkable
32 years.
In later papers, they found that a significant difference in life
30
spans also applied along the female line. The data clearly suggested
that, for both boys and girls, a single winter of glutinous eating
during childhood could set off a chain reaction that would result
in ones grandchildren dying decades before their peers. In other
words, Dr. Bygrens work helped establish an indisputable link
between environment and genetic expression. However, Dr.
Bygren and his team faced a seemingly insurmountable scientific
obstacle: duplicating the results. In his search for a solution, Dr.
Bygren uncovered a near-forgotten paper by a British geneticist
named Marcus Pembrey.

write that it is extremely likely that the sons of early smokers will
have shortened life spans. Noting the strikingly similar prognosis
for the sons of the overeaters in the Overkalix study, the doctors
conclude: The coherence between the ALSPAC and Overkalix
results in terms of exposure-sensitive periods and sex specificity
supports the hypothesis that there is a general mechanism for
transmitting information about the ancestral environment down
the male line. In demonstrating that the ALSPAC data paralleled
Overkalix for both the environmental factor exposure period
(prepubesence) and sex (male), Dr. Bygrens quest to establish the
solidity and verifiability of his original theory succeeded beyond
his wildest expectations.
Considering the vast implications these studies hold for our
healthas well as the health of our children and possibly our
grandchildrenit is little wonder that in a 2010 article for Time
magazine, senior health writer John Cloud called the Pembrey,
Bygren, and Golding article the most compelling epigenetic
study yet written.

patient and be there for them. Lipman was dissatisfied with this
response and what he viewed as an essentially passive approach to
health care. I couldnt accept that for the rest of my medical
career I would only help 25 percent of the people who were going
to see me. In 1984, Lipman emigrated to the United States and,
in his search to find more effective ways to help his patients, he
began studying alternative therapies such as acupuncture,
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), yoga, meditation,
bodywork, and biofeedback.
While Lipman may not have realized it at the time, he was
at the forefront of a movement towards what is now called
integrative medicine, and he is now internationally recognized
as an expert in functional and integrative medicine. At ElevenEleven Wellness Center, he practices a unique blend of good
medicine, which combines all the systems he has studied, and
which elegantly harnesses the potential of epigenetics science in
the everyday lives of the patients he treats.

then, that these two food items deliver totally different messages
to your body. The messages from the apple are all positive, but as
you might suspect, those from the processed, pseudo-apple snack
can be mixed at best and wholly negative at worst.
Just as computers can be corrupted by bad data, your body
wont function properly when fed this type of negative information from food. In fact, nutritionally empty, overly processed
foods cause your genes to miscue metabolic actions. One fascinating result of our overly processed diets is that it is becoming
increasingly common for our biological systems to respond to
processed foods as if they were foreign invaders rather than food,
and indigestible foreign invaders at that. In order to protect itself
from damage, the body initiates an inflammatory response to
what it perceives as a threat. If we continue to feed our bodies
mainly processed foods, this inflammatory response goes into
overdrive, becoming continuous and chronic, which in turn leads
to a low-grade but chronic inflammation throughout the body.
Chronic inflammation of this sort is now recognized as a precursor
for a variety of serious illnesses.

considerable effort because it means making a rather drastic

outstanding. Eating in this manner as often as you possibly can
ensures that your genes receive the best data to work with in
order to express positive health traits and inactivate negative
ones, now and in the future.

Errors that impair the function of oncogenes and antioncogenes can be caused either by faults in the genetic code or
by a flawed set of epigenetic instructions. Both failingsseparately or jointlyresult in loss of control over cell growth, which
ultimately leads to cancer. Scientists say that emerging research
on epigenetics has shifted the paradigm. Now, the biology of
cancer must be viewed through the lens of both genomics and
epigenetics.
Sibaji Sarkar, PhD, adjunct instructor of medicine at Boston
University School of Medicine (BUSM), believes that epigenetics
and DNA methylation specificallycan explain the formation of
cancer cells. Dr. Sarkar and colleagues from the Boston University
Cancer Center specifically investigated the origination of
progenitor cells.
Progenitor cells are quite similar to stem cells. In fact, the
terms are sometimes used interchangeably. The exact definitions
of the two types of cells are still being debated. What stem cells
and progenitor cells have in common is that both differentiate
into different kinds of target cells. One key distinction is that
stem cells can replicate infinitely because they are, as yet, undifferentiated. An undifferentiated cell is one that has not yet been
slotted into becoming a particular kind of cell (a liver cell, for
instance, or a brain cell). Progenitor cells, on the other hand,
can only replicate a limited number of times. (If you imagine a
spectrum of cells stretching from stem cells to fully specialized
cells, progenitor cells lie somewhere in between.)
In an article published in the February 2013 issue of Epigenomics, the researchers from BUSM proposed an intriguing theory
of how cancer cells grow in an uninhibited fashion. The DNA
methylation, these researches theorized, may trigger the formation
of progenitor cancer cells. The team found an enzyme known to

now, well know a lot more. Dr. Issa hopes that perhaps one day,
epigenetic treatments could even be routinely used to cure cancer.
The head of the epigenetics research group at GlaxoSmithKline
(one of the worlds largest drug companies), Dash Dhanak, is
striving to develop a substance that is capable of inhibiting the
activity of an enzyme called EZH2. An overactive EZH2 enzyme
has been linked to many lymphomascancers of the immune
system. This overactivity raises methylation levels in surrounding
genes, including tumor-suppressor genes. As mentioned earlier,
genes with high levels of methylation are silenced, or turned off.
When Dr. Dhanak and his colleagues at GlaxoSmithKline
treated lymphoma cells with a novel kind of inhibitor, they were
able to dramatically decrease methylation levels. They found that
the inhibitor, currently named GSK2816126, could also reduce
the proliferation of tumor cells. Crucially, it appeared to have no
effect on healthy cells nearby.
James Bradner, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boson,
developed an alternate kind of inhibitor called JQ1. He and a
group of scientists used JQ1 to block the activity of the Myc gene.
The Myc gene encodes a transcription factor involved in the
expression of about 15 percent of human genes. Unsurprisingly,
errors involving this transcription factor are one of the most
common causes of cancer.
Recent studies show that epigenetic drug treatments not only
treat cancer, but also reduce the chance of relapse. Specifically,
treatments focused on progenitors (like the work of Sibaji Sarkar)
have lasting results. Progenitors are known to cause cancer
relapse, says Sarkar, and because epigenetic drugs can help
destroy progenitor cells, these drugs could help reduce the chance
of cancer relapse and improve the long-term outcomes of people

Given the late stage of her cancer, most doctors would have
predicted that Nancy would die. However, something miraculous
began to happen in Nancys life. She started feeling stronger. She
found that she could walk further. And she began to picture what
her life might look like, years in the future. Three months after
her initial diagnosis, she felt a firm inner conviction that her
body was completely free of cancer, so she scheduled an appointment with her doctors. To their complete surprise, the tests
confirmed what Nancy had already sensedher cancer was gone.
Hard science backs Nancys story. Dr. Dean Ornish and a
team from the Preventative Medicine Research Institute have
documented how meditation changes cancer genes. The team
studied how meditation and other practices affected the health of
men with early-stage prostate cancer. Testing revealed changes in
over 500 genes; most critically, RAS, a gene set known to promote
cancer, and the Selectin E gene, which causes inflammation and
is strongly associated with breast cancer, were both turned off.
SFRP, a gene that fights tumor formation, was turned on, indicating that meditation was fortifying the mens bodies to battle
the disease.
Future studies may yield information that patients can use to
tailor their diets and lifestyle habits to reduce their susceptibility
to illnesses such as cancer. We think that environmental and
lifestyle factors are probably the most interesting thing about
epigenetics, says Dr. Tollefsbol. Life affects epigenetics.

father of wave genetics. By untangling the biological underpinnings of the vibrational behavior of DNA, the Russian team
laid the groundwork for further probing of the capabilities of our
genetic code. One key discovery was that our DNA could produce
miniature, magnetized wormholes.
By creating invisible, structured patterns in the vacuum energy
of space our DNA forms microscopic equivalents of the EinsteinRosen bridges left by burned-out stars. Einstein-Rosen bridges
found near black holesare tunnels that connect far-off areas of
the universe. Essentially, the bridges are portals that transmit
information, and it seems that the miniature versions function in
the same manner.
When Dr. Garajev and his laboratory cohorts placed a DNA
sample in a small black box, then irradiated the box with laser light,
a wave pattern formed on the monitor. That wave pattern indicated
the presence of DNA in the box. Before the DNA sample was
introduced, the monitor connected to the box had displayed a
random scattering of dots. However, after the team removed the
DNA sample, the wave pattern remained on the monitor.
Further controlled experiments revealed that the reason
the pattern remained stable after the removal of the DNA was
because the energy field of the sample was still present. This
phenomenon is now called the DNA Phantom Effect. Even after
the DNA is no longer physically present in the box, the monitor
can still detect its information, thanks to the conductive powers
of the micro-wormhole produced by its removal.
As is all too typical with work of this kind, the media was
quick to slander the results as pseudoscience, New Age
mumbo jumbo, and so on. A related breakthrough by Nobel
laureate Luc Montagnier met a similar fate.

that we fix upon the mind become a reality, Dr. Cou writes.
In other words, holding an idea in our minds has the power to
induce us to believe that it is indeed true. So, by verbalizing that
the pain or unwanted thought or feeling was passing, we thus
actually think it is going[and] the pain, physical or mental,
vanishes.
