Despite recent innovations in medicine, modern society is experiencing a growing epidemic of disease, as disorders such as cancers, autism, anxiety, depression, and PTSD become more prevalent than ever. Due to their single-minded focus on the genome as the root cause and cure of disease, many researchers in the scientific field have failed to consider other alternatives, such as the innovative new treatments and explanations of human complexity in the field of epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of complex change in gene function that occurs without altering the actual DNA sequence and represents an interface between the dynamic world and static genome by responding to an individual's changing environment and experiences (Walsh 7).
