@surftohealth88 I have to add something very strange to all that.
My wife loves People Magazine and I usually don’t read it myself; but I was intrigued by the cover story of Joe Manangiello ( Sophia Vergara’s ex) and his medical fight for his life.
Long story short, he almost died from gangrene of intestine after suffering lifetime of IBS, Crohn’s and other gut maladies.
The surgeons saved him but had NO explanation for his chronic illness…now here’s the crazy part: he consults a local shaman who somehow treats his “generational trauma” - illnesses actually inherited by either emotional or physical trauma and he is CURED….get that?? So of course, I laughed my ass off and put the magazine in the recycling bin.
BUT, stranger than that, the same night I watched a NOVA presentation on PBS. It was about “Inherited Generational Trauma”!! I almost dropped dead at the timing…
Again, to keep it short, mice were exposed to an almond odor while simultaneously being given a small electric shock. There’s the trauma.
Their offspring - just ONE generation later - had noticeably more nasal cells present which sensed the chemical ester present in almonds….they reacted very strongly to it without any kind of shock…
So perhaps many of our illnesses - including some cancers- are manifestations of trauma inflicted on our forbears; perhaps we too have grown cells more reactive to certain chemicals and for us, those chemicals become carcinogens?
Perhaps certain mutations only found in certain cultures (Tay Sachs, thalassemia, hemochromatosis) are the direct result of whatever trauma those people suffered: purges, pogroms, massacre…who knows??
There is a direct mind/body link but perhaps it is many magnitudes stronger than ever suspected. Best,
Phil
