Your genes are little switches………

AND YOU ARE THE CONTROLLER!

Despite what many drug companies would like to tell you, WE are the ones who control our succeptibilities to any disease state. WE are the ones who decide what genetic switches will be turned on and off over the course of our life.

Environmental factors are the direct cause 95% of cases of cancer!

To restate that……only 5% of cancer cases are TRULY genetic. I was told this statistic today from a prominent cancer researcher in CU’s Mollecular Biology division (thanks Dr. Su!).

It takes a certain amount of responsibility to accept the fact that we are in control of our reality. The environment that we create for ourselves can be one that supports health, or one that denies it…..the difference is CHOICE.
