Hi @jodeej thanks for posting this article. I actually moved your post along with @glinda's response to the discussion @rosemarya mentioned, called Changes After Transplant. The stories shared by members are fascinating.

There is know doubt we are affected by the coded language of cells in our bodies. Case in point: when that foreign cell invader of our bodies takes root then forms to a fetus and so on, every single cell in our body adapts and changes in the name of procreation. The coded DNA of multiple cells combines to become one cell that eventually matures to a human with recognizable personality & physical traits of the coded DNA cells that originally formed the fetus.
When considering this simplified bigger picture it makes perfect sense that we would take on some characteristics of foreign matter.
