Epigenetics is a new branch of science that studies how genes are controlled by influences from outside the cell. Scientists are discovering more details about how DNA functions and precisely what role our genes play in the function and structure of our bodies. New findings are demonstrating how the protein sheath surrounding our DNA can be “unwrapped”, and different genes triggered or turned off, by influences ranging from emotional states to environmental conditions.

This new research flies in the face of our previous understanding of genetics as a predetermined blueprint for our health and physical condition over which we had no control. Far from the media proclaimed fatalism of a “gene for” everything from dyslexia to cancer, leading edge scientists are discovering that genes are more potential energy than directive reality.

Dawson Church’s book surveys the latest findings in the field of epigenetics. He explains clearly these potentially complex details of our physical beings and how mind and emotion have a previously unsuspected role in determining not just our subjective reality but our actual health and body functioning. He shares many new ideas on the frontier of biology including such amazing findings as this: that our connective tissue-the network of fibers that enclose and contain our muscles and organs-is a giant liquid crystal semiconductor, and electro-magnetic signals moving faster that nerve impulses are what convey messages throughout our bodies. Based on findings like these, new forms of therapy and energywork create shortcuts of healing that are nothing short of miraculous. If you’ve heard of EFT, TFT or other forms of energy healing, this is the science behind them.

This book is easy to read and filled with intriguing new ideas, discoveries and experiments. Bringing in subjects as diverse as acupuncture and Otzi the Iceman, Ute Indian rattles and the starter on your gas grill, this wide ranging book is a feast of information that will change how you look at your own physical reality. Anybody with an interest in health and the new healing modalities now available will love this book.
