Childhood Experiences and DNA

An earlier post asked about stress and trauma and the link to autoimmune disease. I thought this article on how childhood experiences can affect inflammation genes may be of interest.

Great article in my view. I believe also that our parents and grandparents have a play in this....let's say a parent did not address trauma in their life, then I think that influences nature and nurture. My spouse is a perfect example of this. I believe theirs, not just his traumatic childhood played a part in his autoimmune disease. So sad really

Good article and quite interesting. It would seem that Health Unlocked contributors from all the auto immune disease forums could be a good source of information. For myself I nearly died when I was about 5 with what they called encephalitis which literally took the legs from under me, I was ill for a very long time. I wonder how many others of us have had stressful events in our young lives. Thank you for sharing this article.

Can somebody please just tell me what Dr. Grundy's(?) so-called 3 super foods 'that we should never, ever eat' are, please??

I tried watching the promo video, but lost the will to live after he had introduced himself for the 3rd time.

Oh lovely! I'm glad I made someone laugh! At the time I felt like throwing my pc monitor through the window, so delighted some good came of my sniping!

Lol! And it's nice to wake up to something on the humorous side😀

Hilarious! It's just click bait, isn't it? I lost all control of my fingers and signed up for his Vital Reds in which I'm fairly sure he said he put every superfood known! A few days earlier, a kindly-looking security guard in a London Tesco's, as I left the store passed me a handwritten note. It read, "Overweight and half dead?". I was undergoing chemotherapy at the time! :-) And I bought the Nutribullet 'cure' for "half dead". :-)
