I believe that the source of initial fear is not biological. I believe that experiencing your fears and focusing on them again and again trains the brain to make fear a habit, which can be un-learned.
I'm not currently thinking that genetic adjustment will be helpful for dealing with fear, although who knows. Maybe it will be. Right now, I'm working on making the MHS program heal you down to the smallest parts, and the models indicate that having a statement included that points that healing at your genetic material is beneficial. That is what the first use of this technology would be.
If a certain fearful response was created by a stimulus then it was most likely also manifested on epigenetic level through methylation and acetylation. In this case affecting these areals could not even help, but it may be one of the key elements to regulate the fear to normal levels.
We have been always thinking about fear as root of everything, but there is also the other way around. For example certain imbalances, infections or other elements on body level can cause fear as symptom. Think for example on someone with diabetes and low blood sugar. He might develop fear, but in this case it would be only a symptom and removing the fear wouldn’t change anything about the blood sugar level.
It's all a fear of death in one way or another. The fear from diabetes would likely be fear of the consequences of that disease, pain, disability, cost - and death. Fear would not be a symptom of anything, it would be a response.
Removing fear would allow that person to live with a higher quality of life if they would otherwise have been afraid, and some say that a lot of diseases have their roots in fear; so perhaps diabetes is a symptom of fear instead? In that case, removing the right fear would likely remove the disease.
I have seen a lot of different "disorders" you would never think to attribute to fear, but they turn out to be responses to... fear.
I did write a response, but somehow it disappeared during replying and as I am in my phone I will respond when I have a computer available again.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.
