Saying that I need a bit of evidence before I believe that individuals
can change their genes is not quite the same as saying that our minds
have no influence over our health.
I do not fault your position; it is prudent. I wonder how many
advances in the understanding of human brain power have been made
before accepted evidence appeared. I feel ignorant on the subject of
genes, however funny that may seem. I do have a general feeling that
our powers of self-determination will expand, however the process.
