Dr. Bruce Lipton on The Biology Of Belief in New VoiceAmerica� Talk Show

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 16, 2006 -- What is the connection between a cell membrane and the human brain? A lot, according to cell biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton, whose book "The Biology of Belief," details reasons why we can be the creators of our own destiny. A renowned cell biologist and former professor at the University Of Wisconsin Medical School, Bruce Lipton shows precisely how the molecular processes behind the brain�s functioning work. In fact, he is the leading authority on the new science of Epigenetics�the science that sees life to be controlled by factors other than genes.

From cells to self, Bruce Lipton compels us to re-think our understanding of empowerment�how much power do we have over our own bodies and over the course of events in our lives? Simply put, he suggests that we are not victims of our genetic blueprint; in fact we have the power to program our own destiny.

In 1997, a California interior designer took part in a clinical trial to test the efficacy of antidepressant drug, Effexor. At the end of the trial period, she reported that the pills had indeed relieved her of the depression which had plagued her for thirty years. She had also experienced nausea, a common side effect of Effexor and the brain scans she received throughout the study also showed changes in the brain that suggest the activity of her prefrontal cortex had been greatly enhanced. Her elation over the antidepressant was understandable until she was told that she had been part of the placebo group. She had not been given the drug at all. So convinced was she of the effects of Effexor that she insisted the researchers re-check their records.

Her case is not unusual. We have known about the placebo effect for years. But what is remarkable is that most of us think of it as something extraordinary when in fact, it is something quite ordinary once we place the biology of belief within dynamics that make us human. Because we have been conditioned by a materialist attitude towards events, we have been programmed culturally to think of such events as �miracles.� The �miraculous� is actually a fact in the quantum dynamics of our subatomic universe. And the subatomic world is every bit a part of the atomic world we live in. � We can no longer afford to ignore this fact,� writes Bruce Lipton. We can no longer afford to ignore the �miraculous� nature of the body�s innate wisdom.

If environmental influences can over-write genetic blueprint in cells, we, as multi-cellular organisms have the power to override our own biology. Lipton makes convincing argument of cell membranes which he sees as �mem-brains� because they function like our brains. The "mem-brains" determine the environmental input that is allowed within the cells and it is this permeability that governs the cell�s ability to activate or suppress its genetic code.

Lipton�s research has wide implications for us�we have the power to be equally permeable. Rather than being the victims of a genetic destiny, the self can be permeable enough to allow for changes to its biological code. The self is the maker of its own destiny. It�s all in the way we think. It�s all in the way we nurture our beliefs about our bodies, ourselves, our lives. It�s all in the way we tap into the body�s wisdom.
