Bruce Lipton – Biology of Perception 3 of 7: We are NOT controlled by our Genes

June 11, 2009

We are NOT controlled by our Genes. We are controlled by our responses to our environment.
Protein provides for our structure.
Proteins change shape to create behavior.
Muscle contracts because of a signal caused by calcium.
The brain of your cells is the structure which controls what signals to tell the cells what to do in response to the environment.
The brain our our cells is the membrane of our cells. The nucleus of our cells were DNA is stored is the reproductive center of our cells. DNA holds the patterns of the 70,000 to 90,000 different proteins that make up our body. Our DNA can not think. Our DNA inside our cells repairs the proteins that make up our cells.
Our cell membrane acts as the brain of our cells, controlling what signals come into the the cells effecting behavior.
Our life is controlled by how we respond to our environment.
Our cell membranes are like a bread and butter sandwich made up of 2 layers with a fat layer in between. On top of this bread and butter sandwich there are antennas made up of proteins looking for environmental signals called receptors. Receptors are connected to Effectors which act as output and cause behavior.


Bruce Lipton – Biology of Perception 2 of 7: The Secrets of the Human Cell

The Secrets of the Human Cell – We are NOT controlled by our Genes

Humans and cells have all the same functions. Genes are NOT the Brain of the cell. You can take genes out of a cell and the cell will still live. Take our brain out of our bodies and we are dead. What is the brain of the cell and what are genes for?

The 50 – 90 Trillion cells in our body are like machines made out up of around 70,000 – 90,000 protein parts. The PROTEIN parts provide you with your body structure.

PROTEIN is made up of strings of AMINO ACIDS. The difference in the proteins is the sequence of the amino acids.

Where does life come from? The movement of Protein by an environmental signal [hormones, ect]. Proteins can change shape when different signals are sent to them creating movement and work.

Simple example is digestion = enzymes made up of protein ripping apart food.


American Cellular Labs BRN-2

February 22, 2009

American Cellular Labs brings you one of the strongest fat burners available anywhere called BRN-2.

A key ingredient in BRN-2 is a novel vitamin B1 derivative, that is a non-addictive brain stimulant and can reduce fatigue, memory difficulties, and intellectual tiredness; it may also speed recovery. NN-Dimethyl-PEA inside BRN-2 increases the hunger suppressive brain hormone serotonin. Synephrine HCl inside BRN-2 is the safest alternative to ephedra. Synephrine encourages epinephrine to move glycogen out of your liver encourging a quick turnover of carb storage and more calories being burnt. Octopamine inside BRN-2 increases motor control, concentration and muscle glycogen by increasing norepinephrine. Yohimbine HCl inside BRN-2 is a beta-2 agonist and has similar fat burning qualities to ephedra and also increases nitric oxide therefore acting as a vasodilator lowering blood pressure. Evodiamine inside BRN-2 increases both norepinephrine and epinephrine and has strong antitumor activity protecting against breast cancer.

There are many other herbs and fat buring nutrients mixed in BRN-2 that will prove to you that American Cellular Labs knows how to put together a product that will successfully allow you to get you the results you want.

1. One of the strongest fat burners available anywhere
2. Vitamin B1 derivative, that is a non-addictive brain stimulant
3. NN-Dimethyl-PEA suppresses hunger
4. Synephrine HCl safest alternative to ephedra
5. Moves glycogen out of your liver encourging a quick turnover of carb storage and more calories being burnt


Are You Getting the Most Out of Your Workout?

November 19, 2008

Too many people choose Bodybuilding Exercises when working out in the gym while training for a sport. When training for a sport you need to choose exercises that closely mimic the motion you do while doing your sport.

While chosing exercises you must be carefult to choose exercises that create Positive Transfer of Skills and cause a minium of Negative Transfer of Skills.

In the article “Principles of Choosing Exercises in Training” published in Theory and Practice of Physical Culture, 6:5-7, 1969 by V.S. Avanesov – (Master of Sports U.S.S.R., Lenin Institute of Physical Culture) translated in Yessis Review of Soviet Sport interpreted by Dan Gilliland, V.S. Avanesov explains how to construct a system that minimizes the amount of Negative Transfer of Skills.

Negative Transfer of Skills can best be explained as “the incompatibility of chosen exercises suppressing the effectiveness of the work and expressed on the level of inadequate execution.”

To achieve a Positive Transfer of Skills you have to resolve which exercises are most similar to the functional movement of the athlete during the sport being played. For instance, the Bench Press is not the best movement to improve a golf swing but if you would look into twisting core speed movements you would get a better result.

The conclusion of the paper suggests to “choose exercises according to their level of favorability in relation to the competitive exercise & bring to a minium the use of exercises that interfere with the function of the main competitive exercise.”

Choose exercises based on how closely they resemble and relate to your competitive sport. The crispness of your play in your chosen sport will weigh heavily on how atuned your central nervous system is trained to function toward the movements most used in your chosen sport. How closely your exercises resemble your sport during the week relates to how well you will play during game day.


What You Think of Yourself

July 2, 2008

“What you think of yourself is much more important than what others think of you.”

–Seneca

Too many people spend too much time and energy buying and doing things they don’t want or need, trying to impress people who we don’t care about and don’t care about us.
