However, I sent this posting about 1:00 pm today and have failed to

it is with some effort that I compose postings these days. If anyone
received my earlier posting...or this one, a one-liner confirming such

Recently, prompted by information encountered in Dr. Sharon
Moalem's splendid book
entitled "Survival of the Sickest" (he covers everything from
the evolution of diabetes, to the bubonic plague), we
prosecuted a limited....but revealing, investigation relating
to obesity in children. Dr. Moalem's premise revolved around
data originating from Duke University scientists. What they
had discovered was, to us....seminal in nature----an
occurrence both fascinating and revealing-----relating to the
effects of the DIET and SUPPLEMENTATION, by the prospective
mother both before and during the earliest stages of
pregnancy. To wit: It was discovered that a group of mice,
"specifically bred to carry a gene called AGOUTI, which gives
them their characteristic pale coat and tendency toward
obesity"----reliably yielded off-spring
which were FAT AND YELLOW. The Duke scientists separated a
population of, female Agouti mice into two groups---one
control and one MODIFIED (but only to the extent of the diet.
The Controls were fed a normal diet----they yielded the
expected FAT YELLOW babies. The other group received similar
prenatal care...with one exception---they were given vitamin
supplements (actually, a combination of compounds especially
rich in B12, folic acid, betaine and choline).
The results were, in short----STARTLING. Somehow, the Agouti
gene had been TURNED OFF....the fat yellow mice had produced
the THIN BROWN MICE. The Agouti gene in the "thin brown mice"
was just were it was supposed to be....but had, somehow been
TURNED OFF..... CHEMICALS HAD ATTACHED TO THE GENE AND
SUPPRESSED ITS INSTRUCTIONS. This process is called methylation.
Our experiments tended to CONFIRM the results obtained by the
Duke University research team. These results have us VERY
excited, because they promise to offer excellent support to a
means of effecting conditions enabling direct MODIFICATION of
unwanted genetic instructions----in certain conditions. These
studies are based upon a research field known as Epigenetics.
I will not bore you with further diatribe on this matter.
However, we feel that
this tends to confirm the POWERFUL influence of prenatal
nutrition on the health parameters of newborns.....and
indications that such continues on into their later lives.
I would be remiss if I did not encourage the more interested
of list members, to obtain a copy of Dr. Moalem's book------I
guarantee it to be one of the MOST interesting and
informative you will ever read.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
p.s. We have a great interest in the possible effects of
"adult stem cell protocol" on currently-expressing cases of
morbid obesity (together with many other serious insults, such as
coronary heart disease/damage).....in adults of all ages.
Adult stem cell protocols do not have ANY of the objectionable
moral arguments put forward against the use of fetal cell
extraction.....additionally, all stem cells are derived from
the host....and therefore, do not present ANY form of
rejection considerations. Note: Adult stem cell protocols ARE
NOT, presently, legal in the U.S......except in veterinary
medicine (the horses and other large animals are benefiting in
astounding ways from this new science. FDA says HUMANS will
have to wait until some future era in earth's history.
Meanwhile, if someone has a dear family member
(and about 40k to 50k dollars) there are excellent clinics in
Thailand---and other countries---which are achieving powerful
results (often---IN DAYS)......among persons diagnosed as
terminally hopeless for addressing cardio-vascular damage. I
AM NOT putting forward recommendations of any type.....for
direct treatment. My recommendations are for persons involved
in Experimental Medical Research, only.
