Editorial Review:

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 hundreds of scientific studies, he shows how beliefs and emotions 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. 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 summarises the science behind the infant fields of Energy Psychology and Energy Medicine, both of which offer promising epigenetic medical therapies, and describes a few of the thousands of powerful personal breakthroughs that are being achieved by therapists, doctors and lay people practising 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 book 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 persistent physical conditions, especially autoimmune diseases. Among a new crop of books that chart the way to a positive health future, "The Genie in Your Genes" stands out as a solidly grounded and exciting pointer to the future possibilities of a medicine that links soul to body and mind.

Good science to back higher consciousness practices:

Like Dr. Bruce Lipton's Biology of Belief, this book gives scientific credibility to many higher consciousness practices. You'll find references to extensive research and inspiration for your own personal growth.

Kudos for Genie in Your Genes:

BS"D
This informative, well written book gives cutting-edge information about the "new medicine" (how your emotions effect your health), which is my specialty in my practice. It is also written in a flowing, easy to read and interesting manner, which the average reader will appreciate and get the most out of.
I enjoyed it immensely.

Making Belief Credible:

I have been using Energy Psychology in my counseling practice daily for the past 11 years. Until now, I've had to ask clients to "take my word for it" that these techniques could bring about profound change. Of course, once a client actually experiences the power of these interventions, they become "believers." Still, helping psychological pain disappear by tapping with one's fingers one one's body is such a bizarre-looking form of treatment that therapists and users alike drift in and out of belief, often... more info

Great information, but a lot of filler.:

After hearing Dr. Bruce Lipton speak, introduced by Dawson Church (the author of this book), I was excited about the concept of thoughts influencing our genes. I wanted to learn more, but this book fell flat. Unfortunately, it offered little new information, contained way too many typos, and a lot of needless repetition. However, it is a good introduction to the whole idea of "the biology of belief" for those who don't want to wade through the scientific jargon in Dr. Lipton's excellent book of that title.
