Re: Controlling physical reactions to stress

Ellie, they keep the subscription papers as subcription only for 6 months after release, then they make it free to all. I will be sure to note the date and repost the entire article here when it becomes available.

The paper released a few days ago that has made all the news, concerning the genetic variations in individual cases of cancer, adds more weight to the theory that epigenetics are largely responsible for cancers. Epigenetics has to do with whether a specific gene is, for want of a better analogy, awake or asleep, and how they get turned off and on. I think the hormones secreted under stress are definitely part of this epigentic puzzle. All the more reason for endocrinologists to become involved in cancer treatment.
