Must read albeit short on nutritional aspects
Must read for the self-developing individual - missing one important aspect of life. Couldn't agree more with other reviewers, this is a great book. Dr. Mercola praises on the back cover "it's easy to read" which is something I can't agree with. The Biology of Belief is not particularly light subject matter as Lipton dives head first into the real workings of the cells that our bodies are made up of. Absolutely fascinating that he's able to link cell operation and function to the spiritual side of life. Wish one aspect of cell nutrition would have gotten more attention: the food we eat and the vitamins and minerals we consume - or don't. For one thing, Vitamin D (a pre-hormone really) doesn't seem to get the credit it deserves as a fundamental building block in cell maintenance. Lipton discusses depression (a good brand of Vitamin D helped me overcome it, nothing else worked), and cholesterol (Prof. Peskin's Parent Essential Oils based on his protocol deserve a mention here because Amazon sells that as well as Peskin's books which outline the research that led to his discovery).
Lipton's mention of the fallacy of statin drugs' effectiveness is by itself worth the price of this book and the time to read it. Completely in line with Prof. Peskin's findings. It's always great to hear that important research is validated from a completely different angle. Lipton does it time and again. I can't wait for him to sit down and write another edition incorporating in more detail findings on trauma by Pete Walker (Complex PTSD), Norman Doidge's research (The Brain That Changes Itself (also here on Amazon.com)) and Dr. Richard Brouse (Build a Better You), for instance.
