he Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology. Former medical school professor and research scientist Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., presents his experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, which examine in great detail the mechanisms by which cells receive and process information.

The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life, showing that genes and DNA do not control our biology; instead, DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts.

This profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics has been hailed as a major breakthrough, showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.

The author is a cell biologist who noted some often misunderstood functions of the cell membrane including the integral proteins and the role of DNA. He notes that it is the cell membrane that allows for perception of the extra cellular environment. Environmental chemicals and molecules can generate signals in the cell that allow reactions to the environment. The DNA is the reproductive blueprints for protein manufacturing. Dr. Lipton then looks at the organism as a whole, which is a collection of cells. He eventually gets to the observation that humans conduct actions based largely on reactive program or reflexes but that higher level cognitive actions can override some of these learned routines. I really liked this book and find the observations logical and powerful. ( )

Este livro vai mudar sua vida: novas e surpreendentes descobertas científicas demonstram que as células do corpo são influenciadas pelo nosso pensamento e ajudam a comprovar a reencarnação. O cientista Bruce Lipton, renomado biólogo norte-americano,descreve as reações químicas do processo celular e comprova cientificamente suas descobertas que revolucionaram a Biologia. Best-seller nos Estados Unidos, "A Biologia da Crença" é um livro ilustrado, escrito em linguagem simples e direta, repleto deexemplos que demonstram, na prática, como a Nova Biologia está mudando o modo de pensar de milhares de pessoas em todo mundo.

The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology. Autor Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, have examined in great detail the mechanisms by which cells receive and process information.

The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts.

This profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major break-through, showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.

Bruce H. Lipton, Ph. D. is an internationally recognized authority in bridging science and spirit. A cell biologist by training, he taught Cell Biology at the University of Wisconsin's School of Medicine, and later performed pioneering studies at Stanford University's School of Medicine.

He has been a guest speaker on dozens of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national conferences. His break-through studies on the cell membrane presaged the new science of Epigenetics, and have made him a leading voice of the new biology.

This book will forever change how you think about your own thinking. Stunning new scientific discoveries about the biochemical effects of the brain's functioning show that all the cells of your body are affected by your thoughts. The author, a renowned cell biologist, describes the precise molecular pathways through which this occurs. Using simple language, illlustrations, humor and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of Epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter, and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our species.

'Bruce Lipton's book is the definitive summary of the new biology and all it implies. It is magnificent, profound beyond words, and a delight to read. It synthesizes an encyclopedia of critical new information into a brilliant yet simple package. These pages contains a genuine revolution in thought and understanding, one so radical that it can change the world.'-Joseph Chilton Pearce, Ph.D., Author of Magical Child and Evolution's End

'Powerful! Elegant! Simple! In a style that is as accessible as it is meaningful, Dr. Bruce Lipton offers nothing less than the long sought-after 'missing link' between life and consciousness. In doing so, he answers the oldest questions, and solves the deepest mysteries, of our past. I have no doubt that The Biology of Belief will become a cornerstone for the science of the new millenium.'-Gregg Braden, Author of The God Code and The Isaiah Effect

'Bruce LIpton's delightfully-written The Biology of Belief is a much-needed antidote to the 'bottom-up' materialism of today's society. The idea that DNA encodes all of life's develoopment is being successfully employed in genetic engineering. at the same time, the shortfall of this approach is becoming evident. The Biology of Belief is a review of a quarter-cenruy of pioneering results in Epigenetics, heralded by the Wall Street Science Journal in midi-2004 as an important new field. Its personal style makes it eminently readable and enjoyable.'-Karl H. Pribram, M.D., Ph.D., (Hon., Multi) Professor Emeritus, Stanford University.

Reviewed in 2012 by Richard Hilkin:
A fascinating book by a research scientist whose work on the genetic code led him to an understanding of how if they are given the chance-our bodies are capable of healing themselves. Given its focus on science I was unsure at first of its relevance to Quaker theology, but the read I found easy and his thesis convincing.

Another review says"Lipton's book is magnificently profound beyond words and a delight to read." Another said this: "Dr Liptons revolutionary research has uncovered the missing connection between biology, psychology and spirituality. If you want to understand the deepest mysteries about Life, this is one of the most important books you will ever read" ( )
