Dirty Genes

Eye opening book on epigenetics - Worthwhile Read!

Book is eye opening. This books explains how you genes can get dirty or how you can change your environmental factors to alleviate dirty genes. I've bought all 3 versions - hardcover, Kindle and audiobook.

The book refers to a reference file called "the enhancement" that is not yet loaded on audible.com. It is supposed to contain additional information, checklist and recipes, etc. Looking forward to the publisher to post the PDF file.

I would recommend that other audiobook reviewers hold off of putting a negative review because the PDF has not been loaded yet. The publisher has been notified to correct issue.

Ugh, don't even bother!!

This was one of the worst books I ever downloaded, and let me tell you why. First of all, I love audiobooks about epigenetics, health, disease, and biology -- so I'm familiar with this non-fiction genre. Secondly, I drive long distances regularly, with 5+ hour drives. I downloaded this book right before a very long road trip, and this is essentially how it went:

"Is it possible you could have dirty genes? Please take our questionnaire in the enhancement PDF..."

"For a list of diseases, syndromes, and issues that are likely the result of dirty genes, please refer to the enhancement..."

"What are some of the symptoms of dirty genes? Please read page 2 and 3 of the enhancement..."

"For a complete list of the kinds of things that can dirty up your genes, please refer to the enhancement PDF..."

"Foods and nutrients can help scrub dirty genes clean. For a list of those foods, please refer to the PDF enhancement..."

You get the idea. A complete joke. If I wanted to continually read and refer to something on paper or screen, then I would have bought the Kindle version. Nearly every other audiobook I've listened to in the biomedical sciences have included every list, every word, every questionnaire, every footnote in the audiobook, because most of the time people listening don't have the desire or the ability to go into a computer or device and download a document. That's the whole purpose of an audiobook. I don't understand why the author or publisher would allow it with this one, but the whole thing just comes off as lazy and incomplete. I'm returning for a credit.

(Side note, at the same time I also downloaded "The Longevity Code" by Kris Verburgh, MD which is on a similar topic. MUCH more thorough, so I recommend that instead.)

What a Powerful Book to read. I wish I knew this book 20 years ago. I just finished this book. this is a wealth of information for to understand about Health's " Root Cause ". Taking Ben's lectures, his courses were absolutely astonishingly changed a way of thinking @ " Medicines & Diet " but the truth is this is the Individualized Bio-Medicine we shall learn.

Thank you for Awesome Mind Blowing.

I recommend this book to : if you wish to become a Mom & Healthy Babies ? or If you are like me went thru hell ? " Why is my medical doctors aren't fixing my illness after 5 Drs 8 Meds ? " this is how I became myself to a Holistic Practitioner. I had nearly Death exp in NYC by Med allergy. " The 1 med / The 1 nutrient / won't fit everyone ".

This experience, I run DNA Tests, Pharmacogenetics tests.

a Big discover was " Brain & Folate Connection ".it was absolutely a big help to my first Brain Fog ! it was scarcely, frighten but I was lucky to profound these amazing nutrients " Folate, B12, GSH " - Brain Cocktail Combination. Truly believe that we can prevent or to delay Dementia to Degenerative nerve diseases.

great information, incomplete delivery

this book is revolutionary. The information in here is cutting-edge and has the potential to change many people's lives. However throughout the entire book there is a reference to surveys questionnaires and some sort of enhancement packet which is nowhere to be found in this audible version. if the whole book hinges on a certain set of surveys and an enhancement then the overall picture delivered here is mediocre at best. Knowing this I would buy the hard back every single day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Excellent

Comprehensive and easy-to-understand for the lay person. Perfect narration. I look forward to future books by this author. Helped me to incorporate genetic optimization into my health regime. Practical advice for patients and practitioners. I highly recommend this book.

I like what the book reveals

I like what the book reveals and what it mean to us. I like that it is couched in a sense of being able compensate for "dirty genes" through diet or even awareness. I have to say that this aspect of the book was very interesting to me. I think we are all aware that we are genetically different from each other and the author has identified some interesting associations between genes and the strengths and weaknesses we have. So, this is a new and interesting angle from which to view the differences among us humans and maybe some of the things we can do about them.

I did not like the excessive use of anecdotes. Some were helpful while others did not sound genuine. I did not care for being informed that toxins will dirty my "genes"... toxins dirty everything and make all things function worse. It felt like being told that poison harms people who wear brown shoes.

Some of the suggestions to overcome certain genetic differences were to get plenty of sleep and eat well. Does that mean that others with different genes do not need to sleep or eat well? Maybe, to some degree. who knows.

Some of the gaps in the subject left me feeling a bit hollow, but I still stand behind the authors attempt to help identify the causes of certain ailment and what can be done to compensate or correct them.

A wonderful book filled with great information

I've been through this book 5 times already because it's filled with many things I've not found elsewhere. It's that kind of book and I'm sure that I'll go through it many times more.

Really informative

This book has a lot of really great, easy to digest information. Everyone needs to read it!

Interesting take on better health

Not only is the information in the book intriguing but the reader does an excellent job on making the information presented enjoyable to listen to. If your trying to improve your health I would suggest this as a good place to start.

Excellent teaching

this book is written with Excellence. I will caution you that it can be challenging to read if you are both a lay person or a healthcare professional. It's not a book that you read once and then all the sudden you have all of the information. This book needs to be studied and needs to be implemented. Then Lynch is an excellent author and an excellent teacher. Nice work Dr Ben.
