There is Music in Your DNA
YOU MAY BE THE COMPOSER OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ORCHESTRA…YOU’VE NEVER HEARD
While we know that how well we can sing or play a musical instrument may partly be determined by our genes, some scientists are taking the relationship between DNA and music a bit further. Quite a bit, actually: They are working on the idea that DNA actually is music, and that a composer creates a symphony or headbanger rock song much like our genes code proteins.
“While this may sound like fun, there’s a serious side to matching gene expression patterns to music. The work may help us better understand the patterns that occur in genetics, and might even help pinpoint disease.”
““When you hear inharmonious music it kind of catches your attention,” Alterovitz told The Scientist, “and that would be a sign of a pathological problem.”” [1] Read more of TheScientist studies here…
THE HEART OF THE INHARMONIOUS MUSIC
Functional Medicine's approach is to address chronic inflammation (or inharmonious music) knowing that inflammation is at the heart of and root cause of most disease states. The Genetic Literacy Project and Science Daily explain more…
Detecting food sensitivities is your number 1 defense against chronic inflammation. The innate immune system may become chronically activated as it functions as a “first responder” to a perceived threat. Innate immune cells, primarily neutrophils, release a cascade of pro-inflammatory mediators and reactive oxygen species that can contribute to chronic inflammation, cell dysfunction, and tissue damage. Underlying “silent” inflammation can contribute to the multitude of symptoms associated with food sensitivity. The innate immune system can also recruit the adaptive system, compounding and magnifying food and chemical related reactions. The clinical imperative in food sensitivity testing is recognizing an immune inflammatory response and identifying which foods/compounds are actually causing that response.
Guessing what foods are triggering your immune system is like trying to put out a forest fire with a garden hose! If you’re still guessing…it’s the perfect time for testing! Sign up for testing here…
