Epigenetics ~Perception Dictates Poor Health

The common idea that DNA determines so much of who we are - not only our eye or hair color, for example, but also our addictions, disorders, or susceptibility to cancer - is a misconception.
This concept says you are less powerful than your genes. The problem with that belief system is that it extends to another level... You find yourself to be more or less a victim of your heredity. You become irresponsible. You say, "I can't do anything about it, so why try?"
In reality, a person's perception, not genetic programming, is what spurs all action in the body. It is actually our beliefs that select our genes, that select our behavior.
