In this episode, Dr. Tom Cowan presents a controversial perspective on DNA, challenging conventional beliefs and examining the evidence—or lack thereof—behind the science of genetics. Known for his holistic approach and thought-provoking views, Dr. Cowan takes us through the origins of DNA research, where foundational assumptions may have led to misconceptions in biology and health science. He also critiques the scientific methods used in DNA studies, questioning whether DNA is a scientifically proven reality or more of a belief system. Key Topics Covered: Origins and Assumptions of DNA Science: The early studies on DNA and the assumptions that led to widely accepted beliefs, including the double-helix structure. The DNA Belief System: Why Dr. Cowan argues that DNA’s existence is more a belief than a scientifically backed fact, with measurements and microscopy not aligning with conclusions about genetic coding. Debunking the Double-Helix Myth: Dr. Cowan discusses why the original findings didn’t confirm a double-helix structure and how they might have been misinterpreted. Gene Coding Myths: An analysis of studies on gene-protein coding, challenging the claim that genes directly code for proteins. Scientific Contradictions and Missing Evidence: Common contradictions in mainstream genetic science and why they may not make sense from a holistic health perspective. About Dr. Tom Cowan: Dr. Tom Cowan is an alternative medicine doctor, author, and speaker, with a focus on holistic health. He is vice president of the Weston A. Price Foundation and has authored several books, including The Contagion Myth and Cancer and the New Biology of Water. His work emphasizes natural health principles, empowering individuals to seek wellness beyond conventional methods. Dr. Cowan’s Website
