Book Review: The Biology Of Belief
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome read! Bruce Lipton eloquently describes the process of genetic information transfer and the profound effect that enviromental influences has on our wellbeing. This book links biology and spirituality in a manner that is logical and the pure beauty of that is enchanting to say the least! This book will change the way you see yourself, the world and the Universe.Book Review: Let's not forget the larger picture
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this guy. Some of the reviews further down come accross like primary school book reports. Lets not loose sight of the larger picture. What Bruce is shedding light on is a misunderstanding that costs trillions of dollars and millions of lives every year. It truly is one of the largest paradigm shifts in human history. When people come to fully understand this, disease and disharmony will be a think of the past, where they belong.
I LOVE YOU BRUCE! :o)
Book Review: Fundamental Leap too Far
Summary: 2 Stars
There's a problem in Lipton's thesis, and I will be brief. Take a cell from any part of the body. Raise in a tissue culture of varying chemicals. You can create a fat cells, a muscle cells, a skin cell, or even a brain cells. The cells has all the information to become various kinds of cells and this doesn't have to be stem cells. That's is by far significant, but to go from a tissue culture to a brain controlling the makeup of the cells that can become fat cells, and other cells is somewhat of a fundamental leap gone too far. Even if the brain were to have instructions to cause, mostly electrical, for a cells to become different cells, that would be interesting. But in science this remains to be proven. Even if I were to speculate that your given the power of transcendental meditation or your own thoughts to create a heart or a missing organ such as a spleen is going too far. It hasn't been done yet, although a more realistic claim would be to put chemical baths to create that would have been more of a real world science. To go from hard science to mysticism here is not science, but a speculation of sorts. Even if this speculation were to be true, it is beyond applications what me the reader can do. The only way the brain can do anything to cause a regeneration of an organ is not presented in the book at all, but we are left with just speculation. Speculation is fine but where is the beef? I know it might be there, but it would be nice if I can see the beef. That's the basic weakness of Lipton's book where in the world can we make a quantum leap from a tissue culture that can create any cells in the body to a brain that can do everything? It leaves me wondering. I would rather let Lipton explain how to make my fat cells on my overweight body just by the power of the mind to become a muscle cell would be a far more interesting idea. Now it leaves me empty in my stomach and just me alone as to how he did that in his laboratory without detailed explainations. Certainly a more rational theory in change cells to be anything you want, more likely is best explained away by an even simpler hypothesis: you are what you eat. Body builders has been doing that for years in controlling obesity: take plenty of proteins and avoid the carbohydrates and fats. That alone I think would be a far more interesting thesis in itself. If I were to speculate a brain can regenerate the organs, than why doesn't it regenerate when a doctor remove the spleen. Something's wrong with the brain or that we aren't getting enough stem cells or is it that we haven't found a way to regenerate the cells yet. Perhaps we will, but at the very least I think Dr. Lipton should at least try to provide some tissue culture sampling that he can create different cells with just electrical stimulus with a general media tissue culture that resembles more like a blood instead of specialized chemical TO CREATE various specialized cells. That alone, I would applaud his work..but the thesis of the book is not a good one. What I can offer positively to regenerate the missing organs is obviously what brain signals is sent to the stomach or liver, and record that electrical signals. Then we stimulate the tissue culture using a standard blood medium, if the tissue specialized, then that alone would pave away to a much more powerful science of being able to prove that electrical signals from the brain can regenerate or heal the body. But I am sorry to say Lipton has disappointed me greatly. It's one of my dreams as a biochemist student over 30 years ago to do this very phenomenon, but I ended up doing computer plumbing and selling woman's perfume instead. It can be done and I have done that before, at least on the amputations of animals to regenerate limbs. Organs can be possible. But for those who is down to earth, I might just try the scenar machine to heal my wounds.
Book Review: A Great Book! Should be Required Reading for all Humans...
Summary: 5 Stars
Bruce Lipton has given each of us something to think about with this book. The pathway between thought and thing, or between our thoughts and the physiological changes in our bodies, ties together ancient wisdom, "As a man thinketh, so it is done to him..." and modern medicine -- The Stress Response, The Placebo Response, Psycho-Somatic Illness, The Mind-Body Connection, and other concepts that, if understood, can give the reader a surprising degree of control over their own health and life experience. This book isn't a book you should read because you heard it was "a good book;" you should read this book because each of us needs to think about the possibilities that arise when you approach life with this understanding. If this book were required reading for middle-school students, America's health (and happiness) would improve dramatically. This book will change the way you approach your life -- and the way you think about life. Thanks for writing this, Bruce!Book Review: Biology of Belief
Summary: 4 Stars
As a retired hospice chaplain, I was particularly struck by Dr. Lipton's comments at pp. 145-147 where he discusses how it is that cells are either in a growth or a protection mode, and that a person's stomach lining is normally replaced every 72 hours. From my experience of having worked with approximately 1000 terminally ill patients, Lipton's account helps to explain much of the behavior of those who are dying as they reject nourishment of any kind.
If the body is in a mode of shutting down, then the process of stomach lining regeneration is in a mode of flight-flight from food which is now deemed as a threat. Lipton's analysis is the best way I know to help explain the process to those who insist on forcing the dying to eat.
The "Biology of Belief" is a very good read.
