Some discussion wanted here, please...

A holistic GP I also see, seems to think that 'genetics' or 'genes' is an old theory, given what we now know about epigenetics.

"It is not the genes fault, but rather, the environment surrounding the genes that triggers the genes to behave as they do."

He is now helping to look for those triggers, which may have been past events.

Thoughts anyone?
