Scientific Breakthrough Memories Can Be Passed Down …

Posted: at 11:17 am

via UTAOT,

New research from Emory University School of Medicine, in Atlanta, has shown that it is possible for some information to be inherited biologically through chemical changes that occur in DNA. During the tests they learned that that mice can pass on learned information about traumatic or stressful experiences in this case a fear of the smell of cherry blossom to subsequent generations.

According to the Telegraph, Dr Brian Dias, from the department of psychiatry at Emory University, said: From a translational perspective, our results allow us to appreciate how the experiences of a parent, before even conceiving offspring, markedly influence both structure and function in the nervous system of subsequent generations.

Such a phenomenon may contribute to the etiology and potential intergenerational transmission of risk for neuropsychiatric disorders such as phobias, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

This suggests that experiences are somehow transferred from the brain into the genome, allowing them to be passed on to later generations.

The researchers now hope to carry out further work to understand how the information comes to be stored on the DNA in the first place. They also want to explore whether similar effects can be seen in the genes of humans.

Professor Marcus Pembrey, a paediatric geneticist at University College London, said the work providedcompelling evidence for the biological transmission of memory.

He added: It addresses constitutional fearfulness that is highly relevant to phobias, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorders, plus the controversial subject of transmission of the memory of ancestral experience down the generations.

It is high time public health researchers took human trans-generational responses seriously.

I suspect we will not understand the rise in neuropsychiatric disorders or obesity, diabetes and metabolic disruptions generally without taking a multi-generational approach.

Professor Wolf Reik, head of epigenetics at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, said, however, further work was needed before such results could be applied to humans.

He said: These types of results are encouraging as they suggest that transgenerational inheritance exists and is mediated by epigenetics, but more careful mechanistic study of animal models is needed before extrapolating such findings to humans.

May our DNA also carry spiritual and cosmic memories passed down in genes from our ancestors?

Gregg Prescott, M.S. Editor, In5D.com

The end of the article asks, May our DNA also carry spiritual and cosmic memories passed down in genes from our ancestors? In this writers opinion, yes. Not only is it possible that our DNA contain past life memories, but the entire genetic lineage of each and every one of us, including lives on other planets, galaxies, and/or universes. This is evidenced by numerous past live regressions from people who have experienced previous lives on other planets, universes, and galaxies.

It also seems apparent that some of these past lives can be tapped into through the dream state. For example, I once had a dream where I was a scientist in charge of the genetic manipulation of animals and insects in the last days of Atlantis. I remember seeing some of the hideous creations I made and telling myself, We cant let this happen again. It was as if I was cognizant of being in the present moment, yet completely aware of my Atlantean past life as well. As it turns out, were letting this happen again through Monsantos genetic manipulations.

Let us know what you think about the possibility of cosmic memories being passed down through your DNA lineage and of youve ever had dreams of a past life. Comment below!

Spirituality and Religion in Health Care – The Bravewell …

Posted: at 11:17 am

An engagement with the spiritual dimensions of life has always been an essential component of health and wellbeing. In modern times, the role of spirituality and religion in medicine encompasses such practices as the use of meditation and prayer in healing, pastoral counseling, evoking forgiveness and compassion, engaging the mystery of death in end of life care, and the search for meaning in illness for patients and families as well as the health professionals who work with them. Integrative medicine emphasizes the importance of bringing spirituality into the healing process.

Many Americans rely on prayer and spirituality for the benefit of health, said Stephen E. Straus, MD, former Director of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Indeed, a 2004 survey of more than 31,000 adults conducted by researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics and NCCAM found that prayer was the most commonly used practice among all the approaches mentioned in the survey.

While there are challenges in conducting quantifiable scientific research on the effects of practices as unquantifiable as prayer, recent research has begun to shed light on the role of spirituality in health. There is already some preliminary evidence for a connection between prayer and related practices and health outcomes, noted Catherine Stoney, PhD, an NCCAM Program Officer in the Division of Extramural Research and Training. For example, weve seen some evidence that religious affiliation and religious practices are associated with health and mortalityin other words, with better health and longer life. Such connections may involve immune function, cardiovascular function, and/or other physiological changes.

The primary reason to focus on the role of prayer in healing is not to prove its effectiveness, suggested Larry Dossey, MD, an expert on the role of both consciousness and prayer in health. The best reason goes deeper. Prayer says something incalculably important about who we are and what our destiny may be.

It is in this realm that pastoral care has been so helpful. Institutions like The Healthcare Chaplaincy in New York bring together clergy from a variety of faiths to work with those in need. Pastoral care sometimes consists of last rites, and sometimes simply words of comfort before a chemotherapy session or helping someone to forgive or be forgiven. The loss of health creates one of many grieving experiences. Each person responds in the uniqueness of his or her spirituality. The resources of family, friends, faith and social groups are very important in providing a compassionate and loving presence, says Roger Boss, Staff Chaplain at St. Johns Hospital and Clinics, Springfield, Missouri. Faith and hope are the greatest assets of the patient. Listening is the greatest asset of the caregiver.

Because addressing spiritual issues can make such a difference in an individuals experience of illness and often in health outcomes as well weaving spirituality into medical education has become a priority among integrative medicine leaders. Today two-thirds of the nations 125 medical schools now include courses on spirituality and faith, up from just three in 1992.

Attention to spirituality is also important for health care providers themselves. Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, Founder and Director of The Institute for the Study of Health and Illness (ISHI), established a program, Finding Meaning in Medicine, to help physicians embrace the original values and impulse for service that led them into the healing arts. Medicine is a practice and a spiritual path, Remen said. Remembering this deep meaning is what keeps us from burning out, is what keeps us alive. We must always remember that we serve life not because it is broken, but because it is holy.

Similarly, the Inner Life Renewal Program at the University of Minnesotas Center for Spirituality and Healing helps health care professionals rediscover their purpose, spirit and lifes work as healers.

Through its commitment to return the soul to medicine, integrative medicine will continue to develop innovative and meaningful ways to address the fundamental connection between mind, body, and spirit in health and healing.
