In a small study, researchers tracked 30 men with low-risk prostate cancer who decided against conventional medical treatment such as surgery and radiation or hormone therapy.
The men underwent three months of major lifestyle changes, including eating a diet rich in alkaline fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and soy products, moderate exercise such as walking for half an hour a day, and an hour of daily stress management methods such as meditation.
As expected, they lost weight, lowered their blood pressure and saw other health improvements.
But the researchers found more profound changes when they compared prostate biopsies taken before and after the lifestyle and dietary changes. After the three months, the men had changes in activity in about 500 genes -- including 48 that were turned on and 453 genes that were turned off. The activity of disease-preventing genes increased while a number of dis-ease-promoting genes, including those involved in prostate cancer and breast cancer, shut down, according to the study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The research was led by Dr. Dean Ornish, head of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California, and a well-known author advocating lifestyle changes to improve health.
"It's an exciting finding because so often people say, 'Oh, it's all in my genes, what can I do?'
Well, it turns out you may be able to do a lot," stated Dr. Ornish. "'In just three months, I can change hundreds of my genes simply by changing what I eat and how I live?' That's pretty exciting," Ornish said.
"The implications of our study are not limited to men with prostate cancer." Ornish said the men avoided conventional medical treatment for prostate cancer for reasons separate from the study. But in making that decision, they allowed the researchers to look at biopsies in people with cancer before and after lifestyle changes.
"It gave us the opportunity to have an ethical reason for doing repeat biopsies in just a three-month period because they needed that anyway to look at their clinical changes (in their prostate cancer)," Ornish said.
According to Dr. Robert O. Young, "genes and cells are not living. For if they were living they would know no death and would be physiologically imperishable. But genes and cells do disorganize and perish. Genes and cells are the organizations of living intelligent matter that is indestructible. This indestructible matter that makes up all genes and cells was first identified by a French medical doctor Antione BeChamp, in the late 19th century and is called the microzyma. According to BeChamp the microzyma knows no death but only change. The change in genes and cells is microzymian change and is initiated by lifestyle and dietary choice."
"The knowledge that organized matter, genes, and cells are all made up of intelligent indestructible microzymas and are only subject to change, based upon lifestyle and dietary choice is a significant discovery in the prevention and treatment of ALL sickness and dis-ease! Matter cannot be created nor can it be destroyed it can only change. The body genes, cells, tissues and organs are only subject to change not death. To maintain a healthy organized state of plant, animal or human genes, cells, tissues and organs you MUST maintain the alkaline design of that microzymian matter. The healthy state of all plant, animal or human matter is regulated by a most important health factor and that health factor is the pH factor or the perfect health (pH) factor," states Dr. Young.
