Prions -
A prion is a protein that can fold in multiple,
structurally distinct ways, at least one of which is transmissible to other prion proteins. It
is this form of replication that leads to disease that is similar to viral infection. Prions are
not considered living organisms because they are misfolded protein molecules which may propagate
by transmitting a misfolded protein state. If a prion enters a healthy organism, it induces
existing, properly folded proteins to convert into the misfolded prion form. In this way, the
prion acts as a template to guide the misfolding of more proteins into prion
form.
In sessions it is identified as either Stage
1 or Stage 2 and can be located in any part of the body. Identifying
the location is not normally required in a session, just the fact that there is a presence and
at what stage it currently is.
In a session summary, a Stage 1
refers to an Infectious state where proteins are being misfolded and Stage 2 refers to the
Saturated or Disease level. Both forms can be released in Energetic Holistic Healing due to the
fact that it is all energy. Identifying and releasing the underlying causes of the Prion Toxin
and the releasing of the actual toxic energy can clear the body of this
imbalance.
In more technical
terms:
A tiny proteinaceous particle, likened to viruses and
viroids, but having no genetic component, thought to be an infectious agent in bovine spongiform
encephalopathy (Mad Cow Disease), Creutzfeldt-Jakobdisease, and similar
encephalopathies.
A particle composed of protein,
similar to a virus but lacking DNA or RNA. Prions are thought to be the agent of infection of
some diseases of the nervous system. Some of these proteins have been implicated in
the ontogeny of age-related degenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS), frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin-positive inclusions (FTLD-U),
Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease. This has given rise to the 'prion paradigm',
where otherwise harmless proteins can be converted to a pathogenic form by a small number of
misfolded, nucleating proteins.
