If list members have, already, received this I do humbly apologize. However,
I sent this posting about 1:00 pm today and have failed to see it appear on the
list. While I do not suffer ego self-indulgences 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 would be appreciated.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley

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.
