So I've been having thoughts about inherited trauma and the relationship between ADHD and trauma. Like I read articles about how intertwined ADHD symptoms are with abuse, especially RSD, and I get widely defensive. Because have have RSD, and I wasn't abused. My mom spanked me on the hand a few times, but due to undiagnosed adhd reasons, that was preferable to a time out and caused, although I couldn't conceptualize it, less pain. Also I was beating the shit out of my brother for undiagnosed ADHD reasons, repeatedly. There wasn't much else my mom could do.

But my mom was abused. She also has aniexty. My dad has ADHD, but not RSD. My mom kinda has RSD. Just the idea that my grandmother's actions, decades before I was born is the reason why I feel like my organs are shutting down when someone shows disapproval...its kinda terrifying. That I under produce serotonin and suffered from palpitations most of my life.

▶️ Genetics Load The Gun, Lifestyle Pulls The Trigger! ▫️ "Gene's are a blueprint of the body and it's not the blueprint we are concerned about it's the contractor reading the blueprint. The body is the blueprint the mind is the contractor". Dr Bruce Lipton ▫️ 🤓 I find this so interesting and have put it into practice over the last couple of years for physical and mental health reasons and it has completely changed my life. ▫️ 🧠 Realising how powerful our minds and thoughts are was an eye-opener for me. Our bodies know no difference between reality and what we think about. ▫️ If you think about something that makes you anxious you will start breathing heavier, you can feel nauseous and your body will prepare for fight or flight & possibly starting a panic attack even though it's all in the mind and not present reality. ▫️ Dr Bruce Lipton, a stem cell biologist, promotes the idea that our own DNA can be altered and expressed based on our beliefs. He coined the term epigenetics 30 years ago which is now accepted science. ▫️ 🔰 Dr Bruce Lipton "There is one gene responsible for only 7 diseases like cerebral palsy or haemophilia all other diseases are multiple genes, cancer is 12- 14 genes, you can't change one gene and get cancer you would have to change at least 12 which does not happen by accident. You can literally think yourself into disease or stress yourself into illness through negative or angry thoughts" ▫️ At least one-third of all medical intervention is a placebo effect, the belief that taking a certain pill for an illness will cure it. Dr Bruce Lipton makes a good point that this comes from positive thinking, negative thinking is just as powerful. ▫️ Reprograming your subconscious mind with positive belief systems is a very important step. ▫️ Did you know that we run on our subconscious mind 95% of the day meaning we only consciously choose our thoughts and actions for 5% of the day? ▫️ Credit: ➡ @theshreddedvegan ▫️ Follow 👥, Like ♥️, Share 🔄 & Comment 📝 #beliefsystems #capetownvegan #dna #environment #epigentics #genetics #lifestyle #mentalhealth #mind #motivation #negativethoughts #picoftheday #positivethinking #positivity #stress (at Cape Town, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz0vhpUpo3b/?igshid=1ewb8xnrayur6

Some of the most interesting news in biology today!!

Researchers uncover mechanism behind calorie restriction and lengthened lifespan

Almost a century ago, scientists discovered that cutting calorie intake could dramatically extend lifespan in certain animal species. Despite numerous studies since, however, researchers have been unable to explain precisely why. Now, investigators at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) have broken past that barrier. In new work published online September 14 in Nature Communications, they are the first to show that the speed at which the epigenome changes with age is associated with lifespan across species and that calorie restriction slows this process of change, potentially explaining its effects on longevity.

"Our study shows that epigenetic drift, which is characterized by gains and losses in DNA methylation in the genome over time, occurs more rapidly in mice than in monkeys and more rapidly in monkeys than in humans," explains Jean-Pierre Issa, MD, Director of the Fels Institute for Cancer Research at LKSOM, and senior investigator on the new study. The findings help to explain why mice live only about two to three years on average, rhesus monkeys about 25 years, and humans 70 or 80 years.

Abstract We are transient beings, in a world of constantly changing culture. At home in the fields of Art and Science, seemingly capable of magnificent abstractions, humans have an intense need to externalize their insights. Music is an art and a highly transmissible cultural product, but we still have an incomplete understanding of how our musical experience shapes and is vividly retained within our brain, and how it affects our behavior. However, the developing field of social epigenetics is now helping us to describe how communication and emotion, prime hallmarks of music, can be linked to a transmissible, biochemical change.

Zero Sum Narratives.

The Undercover Disruption of War I have seen many illnesses in my time. Some come with a cough, some with a complaint, and some—like this one—arrive quietly, sit in the mind, and refuse to leave. We call it the zero-sum narrative. A respectable name for a rather uncivilized habit: your gain is my loss. Like neighbours fighting over a mango tree neither of them planted. War, of course, is the…

Psychological Aftershocks.

Undercover disruptors of War. War does not end when the guns fall silent. It merely changes residence. From the battlefield, it moves into the body. From the body, into the home. From the home, into the next generation—quietly, efficiently, without paperwork. If bureaucracy functioned this well, we would have fewer complaints. As doctors, we are trained to look for lesions, lab values, and…
