New research shows that improved diet, meditation and other non-medical interventions can actually "turn off" the disease-promoting process in men with prostate cancer.
Comment: I'm glad to hear that alternative therapies such as meditation, yoga and visual exercises are being seriously considered in terms of health management. Hopefully we're leaning closer to a total integration of East and West with wellness and disease prevention.

Comment: I spotted a pitfall in this article: "our genes are only a predisposition; they are not written in stone". As a matter of fact, our genes are written as codes in DNA. The authors showed that the expression of specific bad genes could be turned off by good life style; but did not show that what was written in the DNA stone could be re-written by good life style. There is a distinction between death and jail sentences for a criminal.
Comment: Yes, Philosophy is the key that unlocks the door to "LIGHT AND DARKNESS" choose wisely.
Comment: This study is indeed a major breakthrough for biopsychosocial medicine. It also marks a philosophical paradigmatic shift in Western scientific medicine???s approach to the body, health and disease prevention. In addition, it also opens the possibility of communication in symmetry with the tradition of Chinese medicine (TCM) which views the human body as a product of unity between body of nature (al) Qi xian tian zhen Qi ???????????? and the body of nurture (ing) Qi hou tian jing Qi ????????????.

Comment: Why bother doing this study on a cancer patient. If the study protocal is done using normal cells 3 months later, I fail to see why it was based on cancer patients. Other people can be screend to see of they have the genes BEFORE they have cancer. Besides, all you've proven is that this works inn prostate cells. NEEDs work before you can celebrate.

Comment: I've heard about using nutritional supplements to affect gene expression and there is even a website out there that does a DNA test to determine which vitamins you should be taking (http://www.codenutrition.com), but I have to admire the test subjects' fortitude in forgoing traditional treatment with diagnosed prostate cancer.
