Thanks to the work of Johan von Keijser who introduced BioGeometry to Holland and transcribed a seminar I held there, and to Johan von Vulpen who replicated the sketches, the first (unedited) book with the title ‘BioGeometry, Ancient Egypt, and Pythagoras’ was produced. It served as a seminar document for BioGeometry students. The positive feedback from our students all over the world made us take the decision to make a book out of it (with a revision of the main concepts that were sometimes lost in translation) and to introduce the general public to BioGeometry through the familiar grounds of Ancient Egypt and Pythagoras.
Yasmeen Abd El Baky who is practically family and is our assistant deserves special thanks for her relentless effort. Dahlia Khidr worked on the text in liaison with the publisher and Ehab Anwar did most of the graphic design work. Several people helped with editing and proof reading: Gihan Awad, Suzanne MitchellEgan, Mary Lou Williams, Rozalia-Maria Tellenbach and Anthony Cowan. Our dear friends Mona Hosny and Omar Fayed, reviewed the manuscript, Shahira Kamel provided input in the cover design and Zeinab Hamdy our office director coordinated the printing.
This book would never have seen the light without the support of our family. Each one of our children played a role in their own way: Sayed, our son and Project Manager of our organization, added information in the annex about knowledge & applications of BioGeometry; our daughter Laila, Interior and Industrial Designer, worked on the text; Doreya our daughter, Graphic Designer, for the creative cover design; our son Mahmoud, Financial Consultant and his wife Diana Vinis for the invaluable work on the text and cover, in the last days before giving birth to our first granddaughter ‘Leena’.
We also thank our dear friends and BioGeometry instructors in the United States: Dr. Robert J. Gilbert, Dr. Michael Maley & Patricia Mageli-Maley. They were instrumental in the propagation of BioGeometry in North America. In Canada we must mention Marylin Gang who regularly hosts Dr. Karim at the Toronto Dowsers and helps organize his BioGeometry seminars. A special acknowledgment must be given to our dear friend Helmut Ziehe, founder of the International Bau-biologie & Ecology Institute (IBE), who first introduced the BioGeometry courses in the US, and along with Larry Gust and Susannah Ziehe, had a longstanding collaboration in BioGeometry projects in Europe and the Middle East.
We must acknowledge our friends and fellow architects; Dr. Mohamed El Sawi, the first architect to earn a doctorate degree in BioGeometry and a valuable member of our team; Marwa Dabaieh, architect and BioGeometry masters graduate; Michael Kieth and Ronald Skrepich, with whom we worked on the first BioGeometry project in New York; Robert Barnes, who introduced BioGeometry in projects and lectures in Miami; Dr. Pier Paolo Alberghini and James Thompson with whom we have worked on several BioGeometry projects in Toronto and Mississauga, including the first BioGeometry residence in North America designed and built from the ground up.
We cordially thank Dr. Masaru Emoto for his acknowledgment, and the research done by Rasmus Gaupp Berghausen in the Hado European lab in Liechtenstein that produced the beautiful BioGeometry frozen water crystals that we have included in the book. Also we thank Prof. Georg Gaupp, our friend and research colleague in Austria, who designs and builds special musical instruments on BioGeometry Harmonic principles.
The remarkable achievements of the Swiss Environmental projects would not have been possible without the collaboration that we received from all those involved. It was due to the efforts and contacts of our friend Andreas Bruderer that those projects were initiated. We worked with MP Erika Forster and Rolf Luethi of the Mediation Authority for Communication & Environment, Claudes Georges of Swisscom Mobile Environment, Governor Carlo Schmidt and the council of Appenzell IR, Fischbacher President of the Hemberg Town Council, and received a lot of support from the Keller family in manufacturing and implementation of special fixtures for the BioGeometry solutions and the Mazenauer family for their collaboration. Ruth Schaad our hard working collaborator did the German texts, supervised the research and coordinated the projects, Andreas Schwarz, director of the Forestry department in St. Gallen, Hans Jenny, Bau-biologist, Dr. med. Hans Schaer and Susanna Rehmann, all participated in the research. We thank Bosco Bueehler, President, Organization for Baubiologie Information GIBB, for permission to publish excerpts from the report and Dr. med. Yvonne Gilli MP for the evaluation.
We must also mention Dr. Adel Ezz, the Minister of Scientific Research and the National Research Center in Egypt, where we did our research and received the first patents that were instrumental in the official acknowledgement of BioGeometry.
Last but not least, we can all not express enough gratitude and respect to my wife Rawya for the amount of work and dedication without which this book would have never seen the light. Although her name does not appear on the cover, it is also her book.
Most of those mentioned might not be directly involved in this book but they play a role in BioGeometry and consequently are part of the book.
