    Had a nice long conversation with my "spiritual" neighbor, a little old lady who believes everything she hears. She was telling me about emotional healing which you do with a chart that tells you what your emotions mean and how to heal them. It wasn't very clear, I still don't understand what the treatment part of it is, and she couldn't explain it. But it's wonderful stuff and really works. It's called the Emotion Code, http://www.drbradleynelson.com/

    Then she said that another neighbor "does it with dna." I asked what that meant, what does he do with DNA and how? So she told me that DNA has the blueprints for a perfect body/mind/soul but it is all filled up with junk because of the way we live, and you have to cleanse the DNA by meditation, supplements, that sort of thing.

    So I gave a little discourse on DNA, as much as I understand of it, including the idea that there is a lot of junk code in DNA, but that is from mutations that turn out to be useless, but are passed down through generations anyway. She said, "yes dear, it's all full of junk and you have to clear your DNA and then you can be perfect!"

    I did some research and I found this article which is evidently what she was talking about: http://www.homeovitalitycentre.com/ndtp/

    Living here in this northern California holy land, I am amazed all the time at the new and strange ideas people have about the world and how it works. It seems to me they just learn new vocabulary and run with it, not bothering to do a little investigation about what it really means.

    I tell you what: I need to start a new age movement of some sort. There's money in it! I wonder if people would go for the idea of having their Tarot cards read by an atheist who want to make some cash, just a little bit of cash without much work.

    Hi hortensia

    What scientists labelled as junk dna is actually not junk. A lot of dna is not yet fully understood. But recent findings in epigenetics show that junk dna is not junk at all. It is important in activating or deactivating genes. Epigenetics shows that even good or bad experiences can be inherited to the next generations.

    You have some whacky neighbours Hortensia.

    By the way only a small fraction of non-coding DNA is regulatory. Most of it is indeed junk and of parasitic origin. Humans have a lot if it but not as bad as some species. There is a species of rice with a larger genome than humans

    I blame Deepak Chopra. He just uses the word quantum a lot and people think he's a scientist, but he's just waffling on about a bunch of twaddle. I swear, if I could think of something I could preach with a straight face I would start my own new age movement.

    Reality is amazing enough. You don't really have to fantasize or believe in magic.
