since that genetic predisposition predisposition like you said could cause risks later on like these are things we could avoid in children. sure i'm really glad you brought that up because i have an entire chapter in my book called the genetics and metabolic pathways we talk about these genetic predispositions very often one really common one is called far and that causes a huge problem there's never been found to be a genetic cause one single gene but these snips they're called they the genetic predispositions you're talking about they make it so that the body does not function properly but the wonderful thing is there are certain supplements that you can take to work around that genetic break and that's what's so important for testing for it and seeing an integrated physician who can help you if you find that you have one of these genetic predispositions so what are the best ways that you discovered and researching your book and writing this book for parents to come a better game plan to better protect their children. from developing autism or other. some pretty major diseases like

but this article adds a new theme and that is genetics. that mountaineers, for whatever reason, genetically they are predisposed to committing violence. there's something engrained in their dna that makes them not want to abide by the law. there is something engrained in their dna that makes them want to commit violence to preserve their way of life. let me give you a couple of quotes from "law and moonshine"" according to the author, the illicit the distiller of the moonshiner was, quote, naturally wild and grotesque. physically they're different. they're grotesque. they're wild, they're savage. there is something genetically different with them that makes them predisposed to committing this violence. the author continues, it is impossible to quince -- convince these big-boned semi-barbarian people that the revenue official who comes searching for and destroying their stills is not an emissary of the he rhett call and unjust government but for him whom the sly bullet is too good and welcome. as we get into the 1880s, most of the local col

so it can mutate genes in thehe spe to induce genetic mutations and genetic disease down the generations. now, there are two sorts of mutations, dominant-- so if you have a baby with a dominant mutation like brown eyes, the baby will have brown eyes, or dwarfism-- achondroplastic dwarfism is dominant--but most mutations are recessive like blue eyes. you have to have two genes to have blue eyes. because if you have a brown-eye gene and a blue-eye gene, you're going to get brown eyes. or cystic fibrosis is recessive, or diabetes or many, and it takes up to 20 generations for recessive mutations to express themselves. so we're talking about eons of timeme for expression of genetic disease--that's the second thing. the third thing is if the man's got plutonium in his testicles--and every mamale in e northern hemisphere has a tiny load in his gonad--it's from weapons testing days, and plutoniumum is still falling ou. and the man is cremated,d, the smoke goes up the e chimney with the plutonium,m, so you can breathe it in, another man can, and it's ad infinitum because plutonium has a half-lif
