Conversations Beyond Science and Religion Bruce Lipton and the Biology of Belief
b'Modern science, and in particular, medical science, treats the body as a machine composed of parts called genes. These genes, just like any other machine-parts, are presumed to control the workings of the human body. If you\'re born with "good genes" you\'re lucky; if not, you always have an excuse because you can blame it on your genes. But modern research, pioneered by this week\'s guest Dr. Bruce Lipton (http://www.brucelipton.com), the author of the award-winning book, The Biology (http://www.amazon.com/Biology-Belief-Unleashing-Consciousness-Miracles/dp/1401923127#reader_1401923127) of Belief, shows that the environment changes the physical development of genes. This field, epigenetics (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/epigenetics.html), is part of the growing new biology. Taking the findings of epigenetics one step further, Dr. Lipton, with host Philip Mereton, discusses how our beliefs and attitudes ultimately determine the make-up of our genetic "blueprint" and thus who we can become.'
