In the BioGame.ini file, located in your Documents/Bioware/Mass Effect/Config folder, scroll down until you find the section [BIOC_Base.BioPawnBehavior] There are a few lines of interest:

m_fBleedOutMinDamageResistance
m_fBleedOutCasualMinDamageResistance
m_fBleedOutMinHealthRegenRate
m_fCasualBonusHealthRegenRate
m_fHenchDamageResistance
m_fHenchCasualDamageResistance

These are all health related, both you and your squad members (hench) If you want just the easy difficulty to be EASY then make these lines look like this:

m_fBleedOutCasualMinDamageResistance=0.00001f
m_fCasualBonusHealthRegenRate=999.0f
m_fHenchCasualDamageResistance=0.00001

But if you just want some sort of "god mode" then edit these:

m_fBleedOutMinDamageResistance=0.0f
m_fBleedOutCasualMinDamageResistance=0.0f
m_fHenchDamageResistance=0.0
m_fHenchCasualDamageResistance=0.0

Go to your Galaxy Map, and travel to the Attican Beta cluster. You will receive a message from the Alliance Command telling you about a downed recon probe that you must retrieve a data module from. From there, travel to the Hercules system, and continue to the planet Eletania. After you reach the downed probe, you will discover that a monkey-like native has made off with the data module. Get back in the Mako, and go to your map. You will see three native colonies. Go towards the one in the middle of the three. Then, go into the mining shaft, and proceed through the tunnels until you reach the end. Search the two monkeys in that part of the shaft. One of them will have the data module. Save the game immediately after getting the module. Then, reload the saved game, and continue to press A to keep searching the monkey that had the data module. Your Paragon meter over the radar should increase each time you select the monkey. At approximately 300 Paragon, you will get the "Paragon" achievement. Note: If you have already completed this assignment, this glitch cannot be done.

Have your crew and yourself use biotic powers everytime Saren stops to shoot (usually when he is hanging on the wall). Only do it once when he stops, otherwise you will be wasting abilities.
