Cells are Influenced by their Environment

In his new work, Dr. Bruce Lipton claims that our environment, which includes nutrition, emotion and stress, influences our cells. We know that DNA passes on hereditary traits, but he cites research from a new study, epigenetics, that shows gene modification from the environment is also passed on.

The author explains the implications of his new information. The world is energy. We can use positive thinking to change. Cells are influenced by their surroundings. If we are healthy and at ease, we can create a better world. That is the message of this book, a message backed by science.

He also discusses two other ideas:

1) Our cells are made up of proteins and other types of molecules. The protein molecules have a balanced electromagnetic charge. If the positive and negative charges are altered, the protein will adjust to the change. Even in our cells, there must be balance.

2) There is fractal geometry, or the “repeating, ordered patterns” in nature and evolution. There is order to life.

Dr. Lipton is an optimist who encourages us to create he better world we are capable of doing and who sees the repetitive pattern of life as an encouraging sign. My research convinces me he is correct on both counts.
