Bruce Lipton has written a happy, engaging book on biology of all things, and I should add, a heaping portion of quantum physics and miracles.
Bruce has softened hard science and makes it available to all of us. You can almost feel his glee as he discovers the truth behind the truth and yes, there are diagrams, charts, and very scientific information, but there's a lot of heart in this book, which continued to recapture my attention. Nodding off here is not likely.
His conclusions are entirely logical, and your will find this book full of valuable information for those of us who suspected that traditional medicine's approach to dis-ease was flawed. The author goes way beyond medicine in his exploration of the miracles in the structure of life, how it affects all of us and how we can choose to be affected. Bruce instructs us how to apply this wisdom to our lives, and how to powerfully and positively impact group consciousness.
This is a totally engaging book, and well worth your investment of time and money. You will get a lot of answers that will make a difference in your life. I'm sure your view of reality will never been the same !
Enjoy !!!

Remember Lipton's argument: belief influences your body. If you don't believe in certain types of alternative healing, it probably won't work. The easy parallel case is the Placebo Effect; no one understands why it works, they only know that it happens. The "effect" is shrouded in mystery and explained off by chemicals and electric signals. Look into it further and you'll find that no one knows what it's caused by.
Other forms of "alternative medicine" such as acupuncture and chiropractics have been proven to work in several cases, though again, Western medicine (based off Newtonian physics) does not have a definite solution. CNN recently published an article saying that they recommend acupuncture as a back-up to drugs and pills, because it works though not all the time. This is due to a lack of research and understanding in the area.
I perfectly see the 3rd top reviewer's point (Anderson) and it seems only logical that the "advertisement" at the end makes the book seem like a marketing ploy. But once you study the science behind and the effects of Psych-K, you'll be stunned at what it can do and how it affects the body...it's not some fake program that does nothing. Without going into details, it's an incredible utilization of the very quantum physics + medicine that Lipton discuses.
If you're a person looking for an instant solution to your problems, I firmly believe that very few books will offer that solution. However, this is an extremely interesting read for those who wish to explore and understand medicine from an unconventional, and certainly a breakthrough, point of view. |

I found Lipton's "The Biology of Belief" very readable, and worth reading. He is brave to say what he believes.
In chapter 1, Lipton describes "smart" cells, some perhaps living in a petri dish. Their collective properties are found smart. Rather than a blind competition, what is discovered is a novel collective behavior leading to multi-celled organisms. In Lipton's (page 40) words: "to survive at such high densities, the cells created structured environments. These sophisticated communities subdivided the workload with more precision and effectiveness than the ever-changing organizational charts that are a fact of life in big corporations. It proved more efficient for the community to have individual cells assigned to specialized tasks." And Lipton finds favor in Lamarck's account of evolution. He (page 42) writes: "Not only did Lamark present his theory fifty years before Darwin, he offered a much less harsh theory of the mechanisms of evolution. Lamarck's theory suggested that evolution was based on an `instructive,' cooperative interaction among organisms and their environment that enables life forms to survive and evolve in a dynamic world."
In chapter 2, Lipton present his ground breaking ideas on epigenetics, a body of study that looks at the impact the environment has on controlling our genes. Lipton observes that DNA is not self activating, a direct contradiction of the Central Dogma where information flows out of DNA but not back into DNA. Proteins are found necessary for activating DNA, but they are affected by the environment. Lipton (page 67) writes: "epigenetic research has established that DNA blueprints passed down through genes are not set in concrete at birth. Genes are not destiny! Environmental influences, including nutrition, stress and emotions, can modify those genes, without changing their basic blueprint. And those modifications, epigenticists have discovered, can be passed on to future generations as surely as DNA blueprints are passed on via the Double Helix."
The cell membrane, with its protein channels and switches, is described in Chapter 3. Lipton (page 86) writes: "In contract ro conventional wisdom, genes do not control their own activity. Instead it is the membrane's effector proteins, operating in response to environmental signals picked up by the membrane's receptors, which control the `reading' of genes so that worn-out proteins can be replaced, or new proteins can be created."
Lipton's chapter 4 is about quantum mechanics. Upon first reading chapter 4 I felt that Lipton's account was trendy, with his account of reality as a relational flux of change that is typical to some New Age interpretations of quantum mechanics. Nevertheless, Lipton ideas about vibrations began to sink in after some reflective oscillations. Lipton (page 117) writes "the behavior of energy waves is important for biomedicine because vibrational frequencies can alter the physical and chemical properties of an atom as surely as physical signals like histamine and estrogen." Lipton is not alone in these speculations involving quantum mechanics. I have myself used a threeness property in my book, "Trinity", to help resolve energy as a felt vibrations in the context offered by quantum mechanics; threeness permits a return to something less relational, less trendy
Chapter 5 relates directly of the impact of belief on biology. This includes a treatment of emotions, as feeling the language of cells (the subconscious). Lipton (page 133) writes, "the actions of the subconscious mind are reflexive in nature and are not governed by reason or thinking." Lipton looks deeper into the placebo effect, and how it relates to his theory.
Chapter 6 treats growth and protection behaviors. Stress is said inhibit growth mechanisms, impacting our vitality. To much fear can be soul-sapping.
Lipton stresses the importance of conscious parenting in his last chapter. Lipton (page 178) gives this bit of advice: " You are personally responsible for everything in your life, once you become aware that you are personally responsible for everything in your life. One cannot be `guilty'of being a poor parent unless one is already aware of the above-described information and disregards it. Once you become aware of this information, you can begin to apply it to reprogram your behavior. " I won't force personal responsibility on my readers by telling you what the "above-described information" is all about, as it remains your free personal choice to read Lipton's fine book.

Not having studied Biology at school, or since, I was fascinated by the clarity of explanation of cellular function. Bill Bryson's book 'A short history of nearly everything' touched on the area also.
The explanation of the process of 'environmental' awareness, apparently increasingly so in multicellular organisms, leads to thoughts on how 'thoughts' themselves are created. In addition, what senses do we have apart from the standard ones, e.g. hearing, taste? Or are so called 'wacky senses' like 'telepathy' real but just unused in most of us (until our scientific fraternity find a means to accurately and repeatably create/measure them).
Thoroughly enjoyable read, well presented.

As a medical doctor, I am thrilled to read Dr Lipton's book. His ability to simplify complicated science is remarkable. He verbilizes concepts I have intuitively known. After 20 years of medical practice, I plan to change vocations. I am unable to remain in a system that takes healing power from the individual and forces doctors to play insurance games with people's lives. |

This is one of the most important books of the new age that will sit in my small; but very important library with other books that changed my life such as "Hawaiian Magic" Clark Wilkerson, "Zen Training: Methods And Philosophy" Katsuki Sekida, "Move Your Stuff: Change Your Life" Karen Rauch Carter, "Saved By The Light" Dannion Brinkley, the books on the metaphysical properties of Crystals by A. Melody, and Judy Hall, and other books that are special to me.
Finally a scientist gets it. He is able bridge the gap from physics to metaphysics.
You are NOT a victim to your genes. If we were victims of our genes; I would have died in 1980 when I was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy and given six months to live.
I go back to the movie "What The Bleep Do We Know" where the gentleman turns to Amanda in the subway station and says "If thoughts can do that to water; what are our thought doing to us?"
By the way we think about our self and talk to our subconscious mind; you are given a choice to live a happy healthy life by thinking positively, or thinking negatively toward yourself; activate those problem genes in your biology.
After I went from riding a Honda Motorcycle to a wheelchair; I refured to see myself as a victim or an invalid. I saw myself on my Honda tearing down the road at 70-80 MPH, and a few months later; I walked away from the wheelchair, and about a year later; I was strong enough to go back to riding the motorcycle I enjoyed.
I do not remember who said this; but you should be able to find out if you want "As a man thinketh in his heart; so is he"
Your subconscious mind is NOT in the brain. Your subconscious mind is in the solar plexus. There is a ganglian of neurons (brain cells) almost the size of thr brain in the solar plexus, that receives oxygen and nourishment via the Celiac artery. Exactly where mystics have been talking about (the Nefesh to Jewish mystics, Unihipili to Hawai'ian mystics, and Nagi to Lakota Indians) for 3,000, 14,000, and 35,000 years respectively.

After 20 years of researching a variety of potentially transformative subjects and theories, I believe this is the most hopeful and significant material I've yet encountered. I'm especially excited about what this could mean for society.
The connection between personal wellbeing and societal wellbeing is clear, and therefore this material's relevance to human evolution is greater than even the revolutionary models of reality described by quantum physics. Actually, like most great advancements, it incorporates and builds upon many such related discoveries that preceded it.
In the societal context, Lipton's work implies that current concerns like war, climate change, and peak oil are merely symptoms of a far more basic condition native to the individual and which he identifies. This high degree of applicability gives it the rare potential to be truly world-changing.
Although its message isn't especially novel among enlightened philosophies (the timeless, interconnected nature of self, wherein thought literally creates reality), the modality it describes is, not to mention the obvious benefit of scientifically demonstrating how the process actually works in people and thus how it might be manipulated for personal growth, which is a first in the many attempts to quantify this idea (including quantum physics!).
More on the how-to techniques can be found in complimentary research called Psych-K being done by an associate of Lipton's, Rob Williams. In fact, the two are strongest when taken together.
Although I'm not saying Lipton (or Williams) is a messiah, I do believe his work could turn out to be the much-anticipated trigger that will inspire a cascade of spiritual awakening among a sufficiently wide population to successfully inaugurate the next stage in our evolution (before we destroy ourselves, that is). It will certainly contribute to that effect. I consider it a large part of a rapidly building crescendo in our understanding of ourselves.
It's clear that modern civilization is in a sink-or-swim race against the clock--on many fronts, rapidly converging--and if we don't redefine ourselves soon we're going to lose that race. Cultural institutions like government and big business will fight to the death to preserve their outdated and increasingly dangerous practices, since those feed the environment that created and sustains them.
That institutional intransigence-our collective thinking based on how we see ourselves, a la Lipton--is the major cause of these threats to our survival. And since our institutions are just collective expressions of ourselves, it's up to the individual to transform our culture(s). That's only logical, since we all know the maxim about change beginning at home.
So far, I see no better, more naturally appealing vision of what we can be--and how to make it happen--than Lipton's. He's translated a long-respected philosophy into something we can actually incorporate into our lives. Both his and Williams' information have come on scene at just the right time (or just in the nick of time), but that also means that the time for change is now. Thankfully, you can't help but be transformed by this material, and Lipton's is the natural starting point. |

Although I have come to realize the power of our thoughts in creating the lives we lead, I had no idea that this concept could be "proven" through science. And yet, Bruce Lipton has provided the evidence of such "proof" through cellular biology - how our cells behave & what the results of those behaviors are.
It's said that we can learn a lot from nature - from seeing the interaction of various animals, insects, plants/tress & such - and, after reading "The Biology of Belief", I can see how we can also learn much through the study of cells - how they interact and create their environments.
Much of this book deals with providing a framework for understanding cellular biology, and I must say that the author does and excellent job of making this subject not only easy to understand, but also interesting at the same time. Then towards the end, Mr. Lipton uses the information gleaned from his experiments with cells to show the amazing impact our everyday thoughts have on the lives we lead, and our environment (Earth) as a whole. He then shares how his findings led him from being an agnostic, to one who believes fully that our spirits/souls continue to exist even after our bodies have died.
Overall, I found "The Biology of Belief" to be an interesting, thought-provoking book. As such, I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the sciences, as well as those interested in spirituality - I think this book has much to offer. An open mind is a must. |
