Six Degrees of Genetic Mutation

"In our each and every deliberations, we must consider the impact on the next seven generations" - Iroquois Council Code of Laws


I believe this quote has a very valid point- Only recently are we figuring out that our consumptions affects the next few generations. But how far does it go?

I think it requires a total of 8 generations to see all of the effects; The reason for this is because as we progress through phases just as the Universe does.

These phases occur, using a negative beginning point;

Personal Harm- Consumption of substance has a negative average effect
Offspring Alteration- As you pass substance through contact to your young they will develop
Heritable Traits- As these are passed on to young, things now take another direction and
Allergic Reactions- As allergies occur and are overcome, these then develop into
Immunities- As Immunity accumulates for bad portions of the substance, we may run into
Safe Consumption- Now that we have gone through 6 steps in order, we then have gone through our "Six Degrees" of mutation.


So, the idea is that, if the human race were to smoke tobacco, we would over time see birth defects, inherited desires for the contents, allergies, but then eventually immunity to negative effects and safe or beneficial consumption. Welcome to the world of what I refer to as Epigenerational Medicine.
