In cutting-edge research, modern science has found a plethora of genes linking a
diversity of diseases. Cancers of the prostate, breast and colon, among many
others, are well known to be linked to genetics. Even proclivities to such
conditions as Alzheimer’s and traumatic stress disorder have been pinpointed to
definitive genetic markers in some cases.

In daily news reports, more genetic links are being reported fast and furiously.
However, only when you read closely between the lines does the true picture of
the interplay of our genes, environments and lifestyle choices surface. For
example, if all of the several known genes predisposing women to breast cancer
are added together, the sum would only account for a small percent of the total
incidents of breast cancer. The primary role that toxic environmental factors and
poor lifestyle-related choices play in the genesis of most cancers and other
diseases seems to me to be foolishly ignored.

Genetics also tends to be the favored explanation for disease causation because it
is easy to see connections. With racial and family appearances, our morphology
and, of course, all of the genetic aberrations we health scientists have studied, the
signatures of genetics are obvious. Connecting one’s toxic environment and poor
lifestyle-related choices with disease often runs counter to this current
institutionalized thinking and is more difficult to comprehend and to validate.

Let’s face it, we cannot select nor change our DNA. Our genetics may indeed
predispose us to many states of pathology. However, we now know that, for many
of those pathological predispositions to manifest, our genes must be exposed to
environmentally-induced or lifestyle-rendered epigenetic ‘triggers’ that we most
often do have control over. The intent of this book is to empower you, the reader,
to better understand and avoid those disease-expressing ‘triggers.’
