Each person is born with a set of genes inherited and recombined into a unique blueprint or map. The expression of those genes is not just dependent on inheritance but how the genes interact with the outside environment (epigenetics). In other words, genes are not static. One can have oncogene mutations, but never develop cancer. In fact, 40% of people with BRCA positive gene mutations do not. Using genomic information to predict the development of a disease process such as c

Dear Community, I hope you are all taking all the pre cautions to stay healthy during these times, including washing your hands often and social distancing. Because SARS-CoV is extremely contagious, we all are at risk of developing symptoms known Covid 19, this now includes people younger than 60, with the highest asymptomatic vectors (those who can transmit the virus) being young people. There are two aspects of our immune systems that mount defense against viral infections:

Here is a link to a great article for cancer patients regarding coronavirus. Everyone stay safe and healthy: https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2020/03/coronavirus-what-cancer-patients-need-to-know.html?fbclid=IwAR298CucI7FE6qg2xpjhKxqP2oKPEr5RQ10VWlE70BdRNCkvrKAAADrIWBw

I recently read an article who's premise was genomic information is not reliable for predicting disease processes. I couldn't agree more. There is a difference between using genomic data to predict disease, and using genomic data to affect the function of the immune system. Each person is born with a set of genes inherited and recombined into a unique blueprint or map. The expression of those genes is not just based on what is inherited but how they interact with the outside

Telehealth Visits available: www.drlisapricend. The predicted rate of transmission will be ramping up in the next week, and is predicted to sustain for another week to two weeks before reducing. For immune compromised folks, it'll be even more important to: - Wash your hands - Social Distance - Fire up your immune system Dr. Price is now offering telehealth appointments. Quick 15 minute appointments will provide you with immune support protocols. Schedule online appointment

There are several processes the body uses to prevent and correct damaged cells, damaged DNA, and damaged protein. One of these essential processes is called apoptosis. Apoptosis is defined as programmed cell death and occurs when a cell/DNA is damaged. It is an extremely important way of self-elimination for pre-cancerous cells and is highly regulated. There are genes that promote apoptosis like p53 (discussed in a previous blog) and genes that suppress apoptosis like AKT, al

We now have the ability to analyze a patients genetics and assess the functioning of keys parts of their immune system involved in cancer development. Highly complex data systems analysis links gene mutations to epigenetic peer reviewed scientific studies that allow us to affect the function of gene and their products. This innovative development has wide spread potential in creating personalized medicine protocols for cancer patients and others with chronic illnesses. I reco
