Summary

Health writer Dawson Church, Ph.D., decided to investigate the scientific basis of so-called medical miracles and the role of consciousness in healing. The result is The Genie in Your Genes, the first book to summarize remarkable scientific studies that are revolutionizing the ways we think about the link between consciousness and health. The book focuses on a class of genes called Immediate Early Genes or IEGs, which can be triggered by thoughts or emotions, as well as outside events to turn on other genes that affect specific aspects of our immune system. He explores the science behind the breakthroughs being achieved through Energy Psychology techniques, showing that there is a sound theoretical framework, based on credible experiments, for understanding these astonishing results--and predicts that these techniques will dramatically advance the fields of medicine and psychology in the coming decade. Showcasing some 300 scientific studies, The Genie in Your Genes points to where the leading edge of science might take medicine and psychology in the next century.
