Dawson Church's thoroughly researched and highly readable book, The Genie In Your Genes, banishes forever the notion that we are "at the mercy" of the genetic hand we were dealt when it comes to our health.
Evidence supporting the health benefits of techniques like EFT goes far beyond experimental results of doing EFT with people. The field of Epigenetics (meaning control from above the level of the gene, rather than from within it) has grown up around research showing that what we think and feel has a direct effect on the activity within our cells and the function of our immune system.
This new research has been compiled over the past several decades and is expanding exponentially. It sheds a powerful light on the benefits of EFT, a tool that lets us deliberately "unplug" the stressful emotional component of virtually any life event we choose to apply it to, freeing ourselves from the ongoing effects of that stress.
There are over 100 genes in your body that are activated by your thoughts, feelings and experience?
These genes dramatically affect your immune system and your resistance to disease?
These genes can be turned on or off deliberately through thoughts, emotional responses, and experiences that you can choose?
These genes can be activated within a very short time, as little as three seconds?
Author Dawson Church applies the insights of the new field of Epigenetics 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 ("I loved that unexpected
gift of roses Bill gave me" or "I'm so mad about what Uncle John said
at the Christmas party").
Many IEGs are regulatory genes which 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.
