Genetics Part One
My wife, Michale (pronounced Michelle) just informed me she won’t talk to me until I write a blog. She claims I wanted a blog and now that I have one, I am not blogging. I am not sure why I have a blog. She says it is so I can journal about what is going on in my life and the issues I face in the clinic. Write about getting sick because I ate too many Dagwood sandwiches followed by root beer floats (all organic and no milk), or I should write about various illnesses, children’s health issues, working in the garden, or just random thoughts. I do not need to make it technical, just real! I know at one time I wanted to write articles about the exciting aspects of the body and all the discoveries I have made in the clinic. However, lately something has changed.
I might be burned-out but this goes against everything I have discovered about the body. Being burned-out is the result of adrenal cortical deficiency and is not a negative psychological result. Lately, however, the treatments have reached a plateau and a disturbing one at that. They have done all they can do. I am now left with my maximum genetic potential and I want something better.
The body is supposed to be limited by its genetics. Genetics are thought to be locked in stone. Whatever you are born with is what you will have forever. I have heard from well-educated sources, however, that it is possible to change your genetics by changing the way you think. This sounds easy enough but a major step in the process is being ignored. Body functions determine the way we think and establish the limits of our thoughts. To change our genetics we must first identify the primary weakness giving rise to psychological limitations and then heal it.
The process of changing our genetics involves treating the body until it reaches its full potential. This can take a few months to years depending on how much separation exists between our genetics and our present level of health. The difference between our potential and our health is a gap that is correctible with the proper treatments. Once the gap fills, however, the treatments stop working. Reaching our genetic potential might not be acceptable. I know in my own case, it is very disappointing. I want better genetics.
So now here I am. The majority of my patients and me are as good as we can get. In order to continue, I have no choice but to improve the quality of genetics and raise potentials to a level that is adequate. Over the past forty years, I have hit roadblocks like this and have always managed to move beyond them. This I feel is the biggest roadblock of all. I am certain when this challenge is overcome my enthusiasm will return. I will keep you posted regarding my progress and maybe even have a blog journal like my wife suggested.
OK! Now I am going to load this article and go speak with my gorgeous, drill sergeant wife.
