"Your
brain is not in charge." This revelation by Dr. Candace Pert challenges
conventional science – and everyone interested in total wellness –
to reconsider how our bodies think, feel, and heal. As the leading
pioneer in a radical new science of life, this bestselling author
and world class neuroscientist has given us an inside look at the
molecular drama being staged within every cell of the human body –
and a glimpse into the future of medicine. Now, in her own words,
Dr. Pert describes her extraordinary search for the grail of the body’s
inborn intelligence with Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind.
Dr. Pert first came to prominence when she dazzled the scientific
community with her discovery of the opiate receptor in 1972. But this
breakthrough event was only the beginning of a uniquely productive
– and often controversial – career. On Your Body Is Your Subconscious
Mind, Dr. Pert describes her efforts over the past two decades to
actually decode the "information molecules," such as peptides and
their receptors, that regulate every aspect of human physiology. Her
model of how these biochemicals flow and resonate, distributing information
to every cell in the body simultaneously, has unlocked the secret
of how emotions literally transform our bodies – and create our health.
Easily shifting from a bench scientist’s view to a spiritual one,
she relates her research to past and present mind/body topics, ranging
from AIDS and cancer to the chakra system. Dr. Pert’s personal and
compelling voice makes this a listening experience that is part detective
story, part spiritual odyssey – and entirely irresistable. From the
wisdom of the body to the wisdom of the laboratory, Your Body Is Your
Subconscious Mind takes listeners on a scientific adventure of the
first order, escorted by this pathfinder, iconoclast, and "goddess"
of neuroscience.
