Reveals the psychic causes of illness and how to decode and resolve them
• Explains how we inherit illness from our ancestors via cellular memory and provides protocols for diagnosis and treatment
• Demonstrates how illness is an ally that enables individuals to restore balance to both their life and that of their family tree
Biogenealogy: Decoding the Psychic Roots of Illness offers protocols for diagnosis and treatment for conflicts that can span generations. While the idea that emotional stress lies at the origin of every illness is becoming more readily acceptable today, it also is possible to trace the root cause of an illness to our ancestors--their unresolved psychic distress can become part of the cellular memory inherited by their descendants. Until the issue has been settled successfully, it will continue to trigger illnesses in the generations that follow to offset the mind’s inability to resolve the problem. Illness is the body’s way of protecting those who experience severe emotional shock or excessive amounts of stress.
Illness is therefore an ally, rather than the adversary conventional medicine purports it to be. Understanding illness in this way directs us to look for the psychic conflict that underlies it in order to eliminate the disease, rather than merely dealing with its overt physical symptoms. For example, diabetes, which creates excess sugar in the bloodstream, can be triggered by the stress caused by feelings of powerlessness: To compensate for the sense of powerlessness, the body manufactures more sugar to fuel the muscles. To stop this excess sugar production, the psychic distress beneath it must be resolved or it will be passed on to the next generation. When we discover the solutions that create harmony in the body and in our life, the body will no longer have to manufacture illness to restore a sense of balance, and illness will no longer be part of the bequest we leave our descendants.
The missing linkMay 21, 2008 A profound book filled with hope regarding the link between "conflict" and health. The core of this book is based on the amazing "discovery" by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer of the concrete link between conflict and illness -- all illness -- which he calls "German New Medicine." Based on thousands of confirmations with actual patients over the past 25+ years, Hamer conclusively shows how conflict leads to illness and that illness is a perfectly normal, logical response which heals the body and restores it to normalcy. Obissier "translates" Hamer's rather technical explanations into understandable words and adds a wealth of information about how to "decode" the current and/or ancestral conflicts which caused the illness. The way we react to one or more conflicts determines how our body adapts to these shocks; this can include unresolved conflicts from many generations ago which, without your knowledge, still have an effect on your health as well as your key life decisions. If/when this new paradigm of medicine is accepted globally it will change our world for the better. Regardless, you have the option of evaluating this for yourself and understanding how your body deals with illness and heals itself if you allow it to rather than let drugs, radiation, surgery and/or psychotherapy interrupt a pefectly normal, logical process.
Fascinating bookMay 12, 2007 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I keep referring to it as Dr Hamer's book but he didn't write it... it's about his work but it was written by a French guy named Patrick Obissier and the book is titled "Biogenealogy - decoding psychic roots of illness" I don't think the title even comes close to doing justice to the contents of the book... it will be one of the few PERMANENT books in my library... I read it 3 times and I will read it again... until I master the material and I can comfortably teach it... I see it as an expansion on the concept of shock & trauma... his concept of trauma reaches far back into our lineage and includes various illnesses as a way of resolving it... for me, he completely turned the concept of illness upside down to the point that I now welcome it because it is the final repair phase where things come back to normal... FASCINATING...

A great book that shows us how to work on our feelings so we can heal ourselves. It is a new radical view of seeing our illnesses, that is difficult to accept it by first hand. If you can have access to the work of Dr. Rycke Hamer which is the basis of this approach you can understand it better.
Deceptive packagingDecember 8, 2006 18 out of 22 found this review helpful
I would have been kinder in my rating of this book if the author had not made so many unsubstantiated claims. For one thing, the use of the term "biogenealogy" in the title is highly misleading. There is nothing scientific about this book: it provides absolutely no scientific research or references to back the author's claims, a significant ommission. While I am always interested in new hypotheses, I object to opinions being presented as fact - as this author does, repeatedly.
I not only find Obissier didactic, I find him pessimistic. If anything, he has us looking over our shoulders in fear of what our ancestors may have passed on to us. This smacks of negative motivation. Obissier ignores the fact that a predisposition to a particular pathology does not automatically mean it will manifest itself in one's lifetime. For example, you don't have to die of heart disease simply because your father did. Your current lifestyle choices have far more relevance, and can even override your genetics. The same applies to the emotional legacies that Obissier refers to. Candice Pert, for one, has shown the effects of mind (here and now) on one's physiology in "Molecules of Emotion" In fact, current research is showing that even DNA is not static - and while modified by our ancestors' stressors, is nevertheless subject to our own mental influence. I am therefore concerned to see little reference in this book to mental and physical choices we can make now, or specific strategies we can employ.
If Obissier is entering the nature-versus nurture debate, coming out on the side of nature, his argument is unconvincing if not prejudiced. Even if his theories are intended to be an extension of the Buddhist spirit of acceptance, they are very negative (which Buddhism is not). What is more, the few positives (which can be found in most generic, motivational books) tend to come across as platitudes - especially the inference that acceptance will allay our fears. That's not acceptance; it's fatalism.
My major issue with this author is that, for all its claims of innovation, his theory is just a variation on the established psychotherapy theme - focus on fixing our pathology (Obissier just posits a different source) rather than on activating our power. If you really want to find mind-body solutions, cell-biologist, Bruce Lipton's book, "Biology of Belief" is a good starting point, and is far superior.
