Publisher's
Information: "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.
Join Dr. Pert as she 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.
From the wisdom of the body to the wisdom
of the laboratory, Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind takes you on
a scientific adventure of the first order, escorted by this pathfinder,
iconoclast, and "goddess" of neuroscience.
Pat's Comments: Based
upon the work presented in her book, Molecules of Emotion, the
first tape in this set includes a talk by Dr. Pert recorded in front of a
live audience (the producers don't say who or where). The second tape is
of an interview by Sounds True host, Tammy Simon. I read Molecules
and certainly recommend it. It tells the story of how Dr. Pert made her
discoveries and developed her theories, balancing personal and
professional life and trying to work within the scientific political
system. In my opinion, the tape set may be a better learning tool--it
focuses more on helping the listener understand Dr. Pert's work, her
body/mind model, and it's practical applications. You also get a good
sense of her personality on the tape. I suggest you listen to the tape
first and if you really want more information, get the book.
