surrounds and protects every cell of every organ including the tissues of the heart and the neurons of the brain. It is a remarkable thin insulator, the protective outer skin, with a carbon copy duplicated over and over surrounding the tiny organelles inside each cell. Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., former professor of histology, University of Wisconsin Medical School, in his book, The Biology of Belief (20051), puts the lipid membrane in perspective. He compares the function of the membrane to the DNA, currently the darling of medical science. Lipton calls the DNA the gonads of the cell and compares it to the hard drive of a computer, while comparing the lipid membrane to the keyboard. He describes the DNA as a storehouse of information, a personal library housing a pattern (copy) of every protein molecule specifi c to each of us. The DNA of each cell contains a duplicate set of genetic instructions for the development and function of every organ of our body. The basic idea we are currently led to believe is that we are controlled by our genes, by the hard drive, but that is false. The DNA, like a central processor, is a library of information. A cell can actually exist for a few weeks or even months without its DNA. Lipton performed this in a lab with cells in a petri dish. By surgically extracting the contents of the nucleolus, the DNA, and providing nourishment, the cell could last for several months. However, cell death is instantaneous after a break in the membrane. It’s a bit sacrilegious to call our libraries dumb, but they are certainly not smart. Someone must extract the information and do something with it. BODY 4:1 Oil --The Right Stuff
