The biogenealogy sourcebook is an excellent reference based on Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer's discoveries of how psychological conflict leads to illness. It also includes the work of Dr. Claude Sabbah who has improved and expanded on Dr. Hamer's disoveries.

The book is very useful and detailed giving suggestions on what conflict may be causing an illness. Resolve the conflict and cure the illness.

I have personally used information in this book to help patients go into spontaneous remission for cancer and other chronic "incurable" diseases.

I would personally like more case studies, however it gives you a good direction to explore conflicts to bring about resolution from the illness.

This book serves as both an outline of the Biodecoding/biogenealogy system and a reference work for the relationships between specific body parts, illnesses, and psychological conflicts/emotional stresses. This book was translated into English from the author's native language, so the style is a bit unusual - more descriptive and poetic than you'd expect for a reference work.

This book explains the system which was initially discovered by Dr. Ryke Hamer (German New Medicine) and later adopted by other researchers and practitioners who have developed approaches such as Biodecoding and Metamedicine. These approaches that borrow from Hamer's work present additional details and ideas for interventions to resolve health issues. Unfortunately, there are conflicts and discords in the healthcare community concerning these discoveries and Hamer's work has been used without proper credit - and Fleche has neglected to mention Hamer in this book even though the core of what is taught here is Hamer's findings. The dispute over the rights to share and teach these ideas about the body-mind system detracts from the immense value of this work.

This book presents these ideas to the reader in a valuable way, giving some case examples to illustrate how psychological stress/conflicts are reflected in the body, where biological programs play out as the organism seeks to resolve the conflict issue in an instinctual way. This work complements the work of people like Louise Hay and Caroline Myss and presents some of the most advanced ideas about holistic health and the mind-body connection.

Unfortunately, I can't give this 5 stars due to the author's failing to acknowledge the history of this approach to understanding illness. Whether or not he agrees with Hamer's stance on copyrighting/patenting this medical wisdom, he should give Hamer credit for uncovering so much of the workings of the physiology-psychology connection that governs our health. My own view is that Hamer became too protective and possessive of his findings and that others have reacted by taking Hamer's work and not giving him proper credit - this book gives Hamer no credit, so readers would need to see the publisher's previous book on Biogenealogy (Biogenealogy: Decoding The Psychic Roots of Illness, written by another researcher in this field) to even get some inkling of where this approach originated - unless they research the subject further on their own. Perhaps someday all involved will forgive one another and agree on some resolution of the matter. Meanwhile, it's our opportunity to gain wisdom and understanding from whoever shares it.

This is a work in progress, so not all diseases/conditions can be found in here...yet. But if you love reading about cutting edge work on mind-body medicine, you will love this.

I found the first 10pages or so tough reading as the translation can be awkward, but after that I got the hang of the language used and all was clear. I will use this knowledge to blend with my EFT work, as it can give some deeeper insights and possibilities for emotional causes.

Biogenealogy is a new vision of health that takes the usual mind-body connection idea step further, addressing emotional shocks that lead to physical disorders. Illness symptoms pair with analysis of body reactions in a survey of major body organs and conditions and types of emotional conflicts that stress these areas. While new age libraries will likely be the first to try it, many a general interest lending library or health collection will find it an intriguing, interesting approach to disease management and health issues.

In his review, titled 'Highly recommended', the reviewer S.Coleman wrote:

This is completely true, but why then doesn't the author of 'The Biogenealogy Sourcebook' mention Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer anywhere in his book??? Not under 'Acknowledgments', nor under 'Preface'. I've sent an email to the author (Christian Flèche - flechechristian@wanadoo.fr) about this, but he's in no hurry to answer...

So, only 1 star, because I don't like this kind of behavior at all.

If you wonna find out more about the real inventor of the subject of this book, google for 'German New Medicine' - and don't let biased articles, like the ones on Wikipedia, put you off even before you start investigating this for yourself.

Hope this might straighten things out.

This book will help you figure out if your physical problems align with your emotional issues. It will be difficult to put down.

This book is full of controversial, but helpful, information. I learn more each time I pick it up. It was exactly as advertised, and I'm very happy with the purchase.
