This weekend a brief research report in MIT’s Technology
Review caught my attention. The report described how mature
rat skin cells had been signaled via genes to “revert” back
to undifferentiated stem cells, and then researchers were able
to signal them further to transform into brain cells (neurons)
and to actually improve Parkinson’s-like symptoms in the rats.
What’s so amazing about this report is that the laboratory has
now demonstrated that cells we formerly thought were “fixed”
can completely transform—–seemingly without limit.
We used to think that once a cell had become “differentiated”—
e.g., skin, nerve, muscle, etc., that it’s “future” was then set,
and that it couldn’t change other than within certain very
limited parameters for that particular type of cell.
Now we’re seeing that at the very level of individual cells,
even a “mature”, differentiated cell can be “signaled” to transform
back to an “originator” state where any path is possible, and
then further signaled to become an entirely different type of cell.
Now, what does this mean for you?
How many of you feel “too old” or “too set” or that it’s “too late”
for you to change?
Maybe you’ve been given a diagnosis that’s distressing you…
maybe you feel you’ve missed out on what’s really important to
you over that past decades, or maybe you wish you had more energy,
more passion, more purpose, were more successful, or more out-going,
but that that’s just “not you,” at least “not anymore…”
Well, this report on cells suggests that you indeed may be a certain
way right now, BUT…
even though you may not yet know HOW…
It is indeed possible for you to change…
“Anything is possible…”
Hmm…
Sounds like something I’ve heard before…
Something that requires faith…
That requires my willingness to let go of the way things seem to be
right now, and to open the door to possibility…
How might that change things for you today?

P.S. Next we’ll talk about some of the “signals” you may be giving
yourself that are either keeping you the same…or allowing you to change…
If you’re ready to address your own “signals” and shift them “on purpose”
together one-on-one, call 1-888-909-6601 to schedule a personal
consultation and get on the waiting list for one of my monthly coaching
spots.
This is truly amazing! It gives such profound hope and faith that no matter what we’re going through, we can indeed change for the better! I read this at the exact moment I needed it! (Now THAT’S profound!
I find the news that our cells can rejuvenate quite exciting. I truly believe that the rejuvenation is true. I have always found the information hard to believe that this could not occur. Of course, if one has faith and hope, one knows that many things in our life is possible. For example, I had a very interesting childhood. People that have known me usually do not believe the things I went through as a child. I give praise to God for the healing because I know He helped me and allowed me to pretty much live a “normal” life. All things are possible if we have faith. But, by saying we have faith, unless we actually do something, nothing will happen. When we have faith, we usually take some kind of action and this action is key to the results. Thanks for sharing.
That is encouraging. Thank you
