Posted on April 22, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Epigenetics is the field of study of changes which can take place in the ways that genes of cells are expressed without any actual change in DNA.

Uncertainties for Endocrine Disrupters.

Posted on February 21, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

The Environmental Protection Agency held a convention on the subject in 1995 and identified the problems as being reproductive, neurological, immunological and carcinogenic risks from endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC’s). The best known EDC […]
