In his book "You are the Placebo: Making your Mind Matter", Dr. Joe Dispenza discribes how your mind and body are able to change genes, get rid of pain, disease, cancer... through meditation, yoga... being "in the moment" instead of having a victim mindset and feeling like you need someone to fix you. It's too easy to focus on the science and remove your ability to control your own health.

Is Chronic Pain Genetic?
I came across the following headline and wanted to share some thoughts after reading the article:
Chronic pain IS genetic: How long you hurt after a traumatic injury depends on your DNA, study finds
[Original Article]
I am not here to debate the science behind the article. I agree that your genes can change after a traumatic incident, and can affect the chemicals released within your body. My problem with the article is the overall positioning of the cause & affect model they are implying: that you are at the mercy of your genes and have no control over these processes. Wrong! Don't be a victim of propaganda.

"I think one of the things that really separates us from the high primates is that we’re tool builders. I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. And, humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing, about a third of the way down the list. It was not too proud a showing for the crown of creation. So, that didn’t look so good. But, then somebody at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle. And, a man on a bicycle, a human on a bicycle, blew the condor away, completely off the top of the charts.
And that’s what a computer is to me. What a computer is to me is it’s the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with, and it’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.”
~ Steve Jobs
