Book Description
The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of New Biology. Author 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 processes by which cells receive 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. Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.

 Positive, factual, inspiring and fun to read - science and the spirit are not opposites after all March 29, 2008

This is a must-read book for people like me, non-scientists who might hope there is something more to life than the material world but are baffled (if not downright disheartened) by the atheistic assertions espoused by people like Richard Dawkins. The problem with issues like the existence of the soul beyond the chemical functions of the brain, or of mankind having a purpose on earth, is that while these are fascinating topics to discuss, you can never really get anywhere as they inevitably end up being purely philosophical. No matter how eloquently one might speak on man's higher consciousness, the proofs of Aquinas blah blah blah, there will always be a Richard Dawkins in the room sniggering at you and saying "Prove it". This book really does change that. In easy, clear, but evidential science, Bruce Lipton takes you with contagious enthusiasm through his own discoveries as a PhD researching in cell biology -- which unexpectedly for him, resulted in his discovery of the energy field holding us all in being. We don't exist; we are 'existed'. Furthermore, Lipton proposes that the survival-of-the-fittest model of evolution is, on evidence, flawed; that life evolved because of cooperation between cells, not as a battle for dominance, and that these same principles of cooperation between cells and communities of cells are vital for the health of each individual body.
This is a book I plan to read again, because it has given me enormous confidence to know that there is more and more evidence in science that reveals what I always hoped was not just a silly emotional instinct - that there is a God, even if we don't quite know what that means, and that we are all part of a universal spirit. In fact, after reading this book, the rantings of the scientific materialists seem silly and old-fashioned. They won't be able to dishearten me any more.
One of the Most important books in history March 16, 2008

Having seen Dr Lipton in action a few times, I still cannot forget how he revolutionized my life in that first lecture when I was so transformed I could hardly get out of my seat. He literally turned my medical school teaching around on its head, but the stupid thing is, I could have seen that if my eyes were open. Dr Lipton is the visionary who did. This book charts his personal and professional journey in this revolution in cellular biology. What I was not prepared for was just what a good honest read this is - Lipton is raw and open in his narrative as well as being accessible in his scientific explanations.
This takes its place up there with The Double Helix as one of the most significant scientific books of all time.

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.
Let's not forget the larger picture March 11, 2008

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)
 Fundamental Leap too Far March 8, 2008

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.
