Tired? Forgetful? Feeling old before your time? Forgetful? Maybe it\u2019s your DNA\u2014or lack of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

DNA-based alternative medicine is one of the fastest growing health fields today. Combining the marketing strengths of science, health, and religion, it\u2019s no wonder that researchers are stocking the shelves and lining their pockets with a variety of DNA supplements and diagnostics. Here are some of the most exciting products and findings.<\/p>\n

\"Puritan'sA diet rich in DNA\u2014and its molecular cousin, RNA\u2014is correlated with improved performance across a wide range of activities, both physical and mental, and could help stave off the effects of aging. Results of a bold new study from Kashkow University\u2019s School of DNA and Medicine, expected to begin next year, were announced yesterday. They have been called a \u201cbreakthrough\u201d and a \u201cgame-changer\u201d by some of the leading scientists on the proposed study.<\/p>\n

Dr. Cyrus Tosine, a lead researcher on the study, said that supplemental DNA and RNA could be of particular benefit to patients suffering from low energy, poor muscular strength and stamina, pain and stiffness in the joints, forgetfulness, and an inability to concen<\/p>\n

The general result should come as no surprise, Tosine says. \u201cDNA and RNA operate at the core of life<\/a>,\u201d he notes. \u201cSupplemental RNA and DNA promote cellular integrity.<\/a>\u201d Independent research does confirm that the absence of RNA and DNA negatively affects cells\u2019 ability to survive, which could be considered a form of integrity. Further, Tosine pointed out, nucleic acid activity is halted by cell death. \u201cAnd when your cells die, you die,\u201d he observed. DNA, he concludes, is related to aging. \u201cQED.\u201d<\/p>\n

The research uses a sophisticated new analytical technique called \u201cmeta-meta-analysis,\u201d which pools the results of many studies that pool the results of many studies. This gives the method such great statistical power that it can find a correlation between any two variables. Thus, it is already possible to say with confidence that DNA intake is positively correlated with all major indicators of health\u2014and negatively correlated with a variety of diseases.<\/p>\n

The research was hailed by the plastic surgeon Dr. Vincent C. Giampapa, M.D., F.A.C.S., one of the most prominent members of this exciting new field. “DNA is our life source,\u201d he confirmed.
\nRecognizing a potential market in anxious new mothers and covering both the scientific and religious bases, one company is developing a line of infant probiotics called \u201cDNA Miracles.\u201d Their advantage, she says, is that \u201cwith DNA Miracles Probiotics Extra, you can rest easy knowing that you’re providing your child one of the most complete children’s probiotic and prebiotic formulas on the market today<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"MagnumAthletes, too, are recognizing the benefits of upping their intake of what double helix co-discoverer Francis Crick called the \u201csecret of life.\u201d DNA is being mixed with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)\u2014some of the building blocks of protein\u2014to create potent muscle-building supplements. An Australian company offers a patented \u201ccoded DNA amino acid BCAA<\/a>,\u201d which contains \u201cthe perfect coded DNA amino acid sequence<\/a>.\u201d The sequence, of course, is not only proprietary but classified, lest it fall into the hands of an evil mastermind determined to clone a race of LeBron Jameses crossed with Olga Korbuts.
\n\"DNA<\/p>\n

Other work centers on DNA repair, a well-established field of science. Dr. Giampapa, M.D., F.A.C.S., is author of over 700 studies showing the benefits of improving DNA with his patent formulas. \u201cJust improving a small percentage of our total DNA can make a major difference in the quality of our health, well being and longevity<\/a>.” Dr. Giampapa, M.D., F.A.C.S. says. Science is still learning how small a percentage can make a major difference, and what in the name of Watson and Crick \u201cimproving\u201d your DNA could mean.<\/p>\n

Where does it come from?<\/i><\/p>\n

Not all DNA is created equal. Some of the highest quality DNA is extracted from freeze-dried lamb placenta, say some experts. Dr. Rad Bitchen, of Woohoo Pharmaceuticals<\/a>, explains: \u201cStudies have supported that sheep placenta is one of the richest source of nutrients<\/a>.\u201d Two capsules of their DNA\/RNA supplement contain over five miles of nucleic acid\u2014500 times the recommended daily allowance, set last week by Bitchen himself.<\/p>\n

\"wohooAnimal rights\u2019 groups, however, have protested the freeze-drying of lambs. A spokesorganism for PETNA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Nucleic Acids) notes that even in a wool coat, the young ovines must get the shivers during the process.<\/p>\n

PETNA and others promote the use of \u201ccruelty-free\u201d DNA. Woohoo\u2019s DNA also contains \u201cmarine protein<\/a>,\u201d which, Bitchen insists, is \u201clike wicked delicious.\u201d He emphasizes that no Marines are harmed in his process. Another company, Anathema Nucleoceuticals, makes a line of DNA-based condiments. Their biggest seller is Guano Butter, made from bat guano and olive oil. Anathema’s literature says it is delicious on whole grain toast or Ak-Mak crackers. Yet some object to DNA collected from any higher animals.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo nuclear membrane, no problem,\u201d says Ariadne Fishnet, of Portland, Oregon. Fishnet is a freelance farmer of sustainable E. coli<\/i>, a bacterium normally found in the human gut. Extracting the DNA from bacteria is completely painless, she says, even though it eviscerates the organism. \u201cAt first we used only wild-caught bacteria, because that sounded better. But it turned out to be economically unpractical, as well as kind of gross. We have a new model of sustainable bacteria farming. All our bacteria are free-range, non-GMO, and antibiotic-free.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skeptics<\/i><\/p>\n

\"SwansonNevertheless, not everyone is convinced of the value of megadoses of DNA. Dr. Ron Swanson, of the University of California at Boulder, believes that prokaryotic nucleic acid is at best worthless and perhaps damaging. \u201cThe highest quality DNA comes from steak and cigars,\u201d he says. Further, he continues, it is not the quantity but the \u201cbalance\u201d between DNA and RNA that provides the key to health. \u201cOur studies show that RNA\/DNA imbalance is the root cause of a variety of symptoms,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you feel fatigue, weakness, muscle and joint stiffness, memory loss, or lack of ability to concentrate, restoring the correct balance has been shown absolutely equivocally to sometimes help stuff,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Drs. Kathleen, Elaine, and Mary, of the Natural Healthcare Ministries Research Center<\/a> and Salon in Credulity, Wisconsin, believe that massive doses of DNA and RNA constitute a \u201cone size fits all\u201d approach that is out of harmony with what makes us all special. DNA medicine should be personalized, \u201cBecause we\u2019re all people,\u201d noted Mary. \u201cExcept for the sheep,\u201d Elaine chimed in. \u201cYea but they\u2019re frozen,\u201d Mary replied. \u201cShut up,\u201d snapped Elaine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kathleen continued, \u201cHomeopathic energy DNA testing<\/a> is based on the principle that everything in nature, even substances that do not move, gives off energy as a vibration.\u201d Any foreign substance entering the body, she said, may have an irritating effect on the body, \u201cbecause of the vibrations.\u201d Their method, Sound Therapy On Nucleic acid Energy Depletion (STONED), is to \u201c\u00a0test this energy (your DNA) by testing your hair.\u201d They then correct the vibrations using a variety of cellular actualization techniques. They also offer styling and manicures, half off on Tuesday mornings.<\/p>\n

In spite\u2014or perhaps because\u2014 of its controversial nature, DNA medicine is clearly on the rise. All experts agree on one point: everyone should limit their intake of food that contains no DNA. Examples include processed sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, lard, and Chicken McNuggets.<\/p>\n
