Overview

Dynamic DNA presents breakthrough knowledge with its validation of Ayurvedic, Yoga, and New Age concepts with Western science thinking. The shelves are heavy with books of yoga, but they do not show, scientifically, the connection between yoga and the DNA. The author presents the interconnection of DNA and kundalini and how diet, lifestyle, and meditation can help purify the body to its highest potential.

About the Author

Hari Sharma, MD, a Western physician with an impressive list of titles, is in reality a game changer. A reality changer. For instance, his book on cancer is not simply “Cancer Prevention”; it is The Answer to Cancer. That is, he is looking to revolutionize and reform the approach to cancer as a whole, not just chip away at it. His other book on disease is not just “Some Effective Approaches to a Tough Problem.” It is Freedom from Disease. Dr. Sharma’s career represents a synthesis of the modern-day knowledge of Western medicine and the ancient knowledge of the natural, comprehensive Vedic system of health care. He has extensively studied, practiced, and researched both systems. In addition, Dr. Sharma has studied under many spiritual teachers and has extensive knowledge of the Vedas and various spiritual practices. He had the honor of being named Fellow of the National Academy of Ayurveda by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Dr. Sharma is Professor Emeritus and former Director of the Division of Cancer Prevention and Natural Products Research in the Department of Pathology, College of Medicine, at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and the American Board of Pathology, a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition and Emeritus Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and a member of various national and international professional societies. Dr. Sharma is past Chair of the Integrated Medicine Committee of National AAPI (American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin). He has been practicing Ayurveda at The Ohio State University Integrative Medicine clinic since its inception in 2005. Dr. Sharma is a frequent lecturer at conferences worldwide. He has published over 150 research articles and authored/coauthored five books related to Ayurveda, including Ayurvedic Healing and Awakening Nature’s Healing Intelligence.

Writer James G. Meade, PhD, is a veteran of numerous skirmishes to transform human life on earth, including the rise of software as our everyday reality and, on the consciousness front, the practice of meditation and related complementary-medicine technologies. He championed several emerging technologies for companies like Microsoft and IBM and was one of the first authors in the ground-breaking Dummies series (which brought right-brained thinking into left-brained computer and business writing). Meade collaborated with Dr. Sharma on The Answer to Cancer, which became a word-of-mouth sensation passed hand to hand by those who have read it. “It makes all that technical material digestible, even fun,” readers have said, often devouring the 220-page book in one sitting. A literary man with a technical bent, Meade has published thirty previous books and sold more than 750,000 copies around the world. His The Human Resources Software Handbook, published with leading business publisher John Wiley Publishing, helped companies ease from tracking employees on spreadsheets to doing so on the web with multipurpose software. He has published five titles in the Dummies series, one of the best known and most successful book series of all time. But resolving the human condition has been his quest, and he has taught meditation to thousands of people across the United States and in Hong Kong, Nepal, Jamaica, Hungary, and Tanzania. A sought-after speaker, he just completed a tour in Asia that took him to Hong Kong, Viet Nam, Cambodia, and Thailand. His PhD is in English, from Northwestern University “with distinguished commendation.” He attended graduate school on an NDEA Fellowship. A journalist at heart, he has been a columnist for several publications, including “Information Week.”

What People are Saying About This

John C. Peterson

I bought 100 copies of Dr. Sharma’s The Answer to Cancer to give to my patients. His collaboration with Dr. Meade creates a special chemistry—advanced scientific thinking presented in a compelling but understandable read. This latest undertaking, Dynamic DNA , presents new and useful knowledge about how to upgrade our DNA, the core of what makes us human. I appreciate the authors’ insights and their sense of humor.

Dept. of Epidemiology, Columbia University, New York, USA and Green Templeton College, University of Oxford, UK - Gerard Bodeker

Dr. Sharma’s work has bridged the worlds of Ayurveda and modern science for three decades. In this new work, he makes the startling and insightful characterization that ‘Ayurveda is epigenetics.’ Contemporary evidence showing that genetic information from our life experience is carried across—and even changed within—generations is, he reveals, at the heart of what Ayurveda has described, and prescribed, for millennia.

By focusing on the inter-generational transfer of knowledge via the physics of DNA, Dr. Sharma makes the case for a physics of consciousness: of energy, its flow, and its essential nature as information. Some aspects of Vedic Science and its theory of energy are as yet untested by physics and medical science, and here Dr. Sharma and his coauthor, James G. Meade, PhD, build conceptual bridges that frame the direction for a new generation of insightful researchers. Dr. Meade brings his experience as a writer in the ‘For Dummies’ series, to work with Dr. Sharma in translating the challenging science of epigenetics and the multilayered concepts of Ayurveda into an accessible and fascinating reading experience.

Therapist and coauthor of Healing Depression the Mind-Body Way: Creating Happiness with Meditation, Yoga, and Ayurveda - Nancy Liebler

When we think mind/body, we tend to think of ‘mind’ as abstract. That is, we see the spiritual as wonderful but abstract. I love the way that Dr. Sharma here brings the spiritual into the everyday physical world, the world of DNA. If the spiritual is chemical, how many possibilities does that open? We can get our hands right on the spiritual. This is a book that opens new frontiers of understanding and, even better, of treatment.

Neurologist and author of The Prime: Prepare and Repair Your Body for Spontaneous Weight Loss - Kulreet Chaudhary

One of the most important next steps in the evolution of modern medicine is understanding how our daily choices impact our DNA. Ayurveda is an ancient tool that allows us to address our modern health challenges through the deeper understanding of how we all control our genetic destiny. This book is a timely look into a subject that has the capacity to change the future of disease.

Emeritus Professor, Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences University of Wisconsin Medical School, Madison, Wis - Suresh R. Chandra

Dr. Sharma is a conservative Western physician, yet his books are electrifying. Freedom from Disease. The Answer to Cancer. And now Dynamic DNA may be the biggest breakthrough of all. He goes deeper into the causes and treatments of disease than we ever have before, straight to the inner energy body and beyond. Wow.

President, AAPNA (Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America, Inc., USA) Ayurveda Director, International U - Prof. Shekhar Annambhotla

Dynamic DNA offers a new perspective looking at modern science through the ancient knowledge and wisdom of Ayurveda and Vedic Sciences. Dr. Sharma provides meaningful and thoughtful insights into the correlation between our diet, lifestyle choices, gene expression and evolution. In over 30 years of teaching and practicing Ayurveda worldwide, I believe this to be the most clearly articulated and illustrated reference on Ayurveda as epigenetics. Supported by extensive and groundbreaking research, yet accessible to all readers, this book is an indispensable resource for students, researchers, physicians, and all who seek to understand epigenetics leading us toward a conscious evolution of humanity.

Chairman, International Academy of Ayurved (www.ayurved-int.com) Pune, India - Prof. Emeritus Subhash Ranade

Dynamic DNA is not simply offering a fresh perspective on DNA, it is quietly offering nothing less than the solution to human suffering and, beyond even that, a vision of what comes when the pain is gone. The authors have unfolded the mysterious scientific subjects of DNA and kundalini. They have masterfully explained these topics with ample references from various scientific books and journals. They have used lucid language and given examples from day-to-day life.



Their deep insights in both the spiritual and scientific fields make the book an important reference on these subjects.

DNA was thought to be unchangeable. But scientific research has shown that DNA expression can be changed by epigenetics. The authors have explained in a simple way how the science of Ayurveda can affect DNA by turning genes on and off to change its expression. I recommend this book for every person who wants to know the secrets of DNA and Ayurveda.

Clinical Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Past - James J. Perez

My medical school training was deeply rooted in the belief of a ‘holistic’ connectedness between mind, body, and spirit. When in balance this relationship would dictate homeostasis and wellbeing. The current medical system focuses on the ‘body.’ In Dynamic DNA Dr. Sharma brings us ‘Back to the Future.’ He dove-tails Ayurveda and epigenetics to help reconnect us with ‘Source.’ This is an import- ant (must) read, especially for those of us in medicine.

Natural health and Consciousness pioneer Author of Your DNA Diet New Zealand - Guy Hatchard

Our knowledge of the genetic basis of life is rapidly expanding, and all the while we are becoming overwhelmed by an epidemic of chronic illness. Drs. Sharma and Meade achieve a synthesis of the ancient health science of Ayurveda with the most modern conclusions of epigenetics. In doing so, they uncover the key to health in our modern world. Their book plots a path back to nature along a modern freeway across an ancient landscape. A must-read for those in need of health, and who today doesn’t need a way back to health?

At any given moment, we are the end result of all our experiences metabolized in the past. The body is continuously changing. If we want to change the expression of the mind-body continuum, we must bring different experiences. Genes on the chromosomes are always turning on or off to create a new ‘you.’ Dr. Hari Sharma, a pioneer in the integration of the current medical system with Ayurveda, brings to light what is possible through Ayurveda, which he equates with epigenetics. This is a must-read book for anyone who wants to under- stand ancient wisdom in terms of contemporary research validating these ancient practices.
