Thoughts and Genes

2002-06-27 17:50:15+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

An AP fluff piece on a letter to Nature suggesting thoughts can alter gene expression. My first response is "well, duh", mainly because the difference between altering genes and altering what those genes express is pretty huge, but it does suggest that there's a little more consciousness of the mind as the controller of the body.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
