A Gateway to a better heath and future medicineThe title of the book attracted my attention "...the new biology of intention". I was curious about it and wondered if its concept is similar to a book I've read before - "The Biology of Belief" by Bruce Lipton. So, I bought it and after reading it, I found it is a great book with easy-to-comprehend explanation, it is informative, inspiring and full of details with profound and thoughtful ideas. Both of the books are great! Both of them suggest our thoughts and feelings do affect our body. Our consciousness, our way of thinking, play an important role to our own well being. The Genie in Your Genes opens the door to a better health care and a better future medicine, as well as a great gateway to a fast spiritual growth.
SAVE YOUR MONEYI'm an Obstetrician-Gynecologist with a serious interest in Genetics and Epigenetics. This book has nothing to do with the study of either. This is pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo and hocus pocus at its worst. I will be keeping this book on my shelf to show my children an example of the sort of pseudo-scientific nonsense swallowed by the gullible. Pretty ballsy of the author to sprout this sort of rubbish and put his name on it. Don't bother. Save your money and time.
"Energy Medicine" is indeed the future (and, it's already here)Over the past three years I've done a great deal of study into energy medicine, and like the author of this book I've come to the conclusion these healing modalities should no longer be considered "alternative" approaches. Rather, as the extensive evidence cited in this book suggests, going forward tools such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT) could actually serve as the primary treatment approach, with traditional allopathic medicine becoming the "alternative" in the event those types of modalities are unable to resolve the patient's issue(s).
After reading "The Genie in Your Genes" I'm absolutely convinced that our genetic makeup isn't some blueprint for every aspect of our physical existence throughout our lives; it's just a part of the equation. What is clear from Church's work is that genetic expression is driven by all sorts of factors (e.g., environment, attitude, diet, quality of relationships, spirituality, level of self-esteem & more), and that's very encouraging given that WE have control over many of those factors).
Dawson Church has done a tremendous job of building a case for the aforementioned paradigm shift in the treatment of illnesses, and as such, I highly recommend this title to anyone interested in learning about this exciting new frontier in physical and emotional healing. Here's one of my favorite passages in the book:
"Biochemically speaking, your body cannot tell the difference between the injection of chemicals that is triggered by an objective threat - the tribesman running at you with a spear - and a subjective threat - your resentment toward management. The biochemical and genetic effects, as far as your body is concerned, are the same. Your body can't tell that one experience is a physical reality, and the other is a reply of an abstract mental idea. Both are creating a chemical environment around your cells that is full of signals to your genes, several classes of which activate the proteins associated with stress. A researcher observes: "Our body doesn't make a moral judgment about our feelings; it just responds accordingly."
The understanding that much of our genetic activity is affected by factors outside the cell is a radical reversal of the dogma of genetic determinism, which held for half a century that who we are and what we do is governed by our genes. Research is illuminating a new biology in which consciousness plays a primary role."
An exciting, very readable bookThis is an exciting book about epigenetics - the control of genes outside the cell -, and can be read in conjunction with Candace Pert's "Molecules of emotion" or Bruce Lipton's "Biology of Belief".
Finally, modern scientific research is confirming what many of us have known for some time, that genes do not control our destiny, but that our consciousness - meditation, prayer, "social goodwill" - and lifestyle are what in the last resort determine our state of health.
This is wonderful news for all of us. We ourselves are back in control.
The book contains a useful chapter on energy psychology, i.e. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and the like. This chapter has convinced me to give EFT another chance. I was also introduced to TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique), which is a very simple technique akin to EFT.
The author urges us to take charge of our lives, also by consulting complementary or alternative therapists if the need arises, and only resorting to traditional medicine and surgery if all else fails, except of course in emergency situations.
Though a few of the preliminary chapters are somewhat difficult owing to their scientific content, I would highly recommend this book to every thinking human being. I for one will be looking out for other books by this author.
Classic Guide to Healing Power of EpigeneticsTHE GENIE IN YOUR GENES is a book that is so well written, so well researched, and so inspirational that it is destined to become a classic. While the term epigenetics is not yet a household word, it is definitely a word worth learning, along with all it implies with regard to our health. Bringing the old "nature VS nurture" discussion into the 21st century, we are now in a world in which the human genome project has mapped some 24,000 human genes. Just like a map, this DNA information provides us with only the barest comprehension of what is going on. We are just beginning to understand some of the factors that trigger disease in one person but not another when both carry the same genetic DNA.
The key to understanding epigenetics comes from grasping the concept that the genes each human inherits at birth is just part of the picture. How those genes express (or do not express) is vitally important as well. There are many factors outside of our DNA which have a great deal to do with switching various genes on and off, and GENIE IN YOUR GENES explores a phenomenal range of ways we can greatly improve our health and well-being through things like diet, meditation, acupuncture, belief therapy, EFT, prayer and even the way we feel about our relationship with our Creator.
GENIE IN YOUR GENES presents an exhilarating review of some of the most recent research in epigenetics in such a way that provides readers with a map of how to better ensure good mental, psychological and physical health. Packed with pertinent information and factual details, GENIE IN YOUR GENES gives down-to-Earth, practical advice anyone can follow who seeks new inspiration and ideas for improving our health that we can initiate and maintain on our own.
I give GENIE IN YOUR GENES my highest recommendation, and encourage you to be sure to get at least two copies of this outstanding book -- one for your bookshelf, and one to loan.
Product DescriptionVoted Best Health Book, USA Booknews National Awards.
Your genes don't control your health or happiness outcomes; in fact many of the choices you make turn genes on or off. Author Dawson Church applies the insights of the new field of Epigenetics (epi=above, i.e. control above the level of the gene) to healing. Citing 417 scientific studies, he shows how consciousness - in the form of beliefs, altruism, optimism, meditation, emotions, and energy psychology methods like EFT - can trigger the expression of DNA strands. He focuses on a class of genes called Immediate Early Genes or IEGs. These genes turn on within a few seconds of a stimulus. They can be triggered by thoughts or emotions ("I loved that unexpected gift of roses Bill gave me" or "I'm so mad about what Uncle John said at the Christmas party") as well as spiritual experiences, and acts of kindness. Many IEGs are regulatory genes turn on other genes that affect specific aspects of our immune system, such as the production of white blood cells that destroy attacking bacteria and viruses. Epigenetics thus influences our health every day.
He coins the new term "Epigenetic Medicine" to describe healing techniques with epigenetic effects. He also summarizes the science behind the infant fields of Energy Psychology and Energy Medicine, both of which offer promising epigenetic medical therapies, and describes examples of the powerful personal breakthroughs being achieved by therapists, doctors, athletes, and entrepreneurs practicing these techniques. The Genie in Your Genes shows that there is a sound theoretical framework, based on credible experiments, for understanding these astonishing results, and predicts that the insights of Epigenetic Medicine will dramatically advance the fields of both medicine and psychology in the coming decade.
Best of all, The Genie in Your Genes demonstrates that, by taking control of our consciousness and using it to influence our genetic expression, we can sometimes bypass years of therapy, as well as harmful drugs and invasive surgeries, to, in effect, do continuous genetic engineering on our own bodies. This can produce both immediate relief from long-standing anxieties and neuroses, as well as "miraculous" healing of pain, autoimmune diseases, and other symptoms.
Among a new crop of books that chart the way to a positive health future, The Genie in Your Genes stands out as a scientifically rigorous yet inspiring indicator of a future medicine that links soul to body and mind.
