Eastern Medicine and Western Science:

The Grand Convergence

Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. 2004

Astonishing advances in physics and cell biology have recently toppled the philosophical underpinnings of conventional biomedicine. A new energy-based vitalistic philosophy emphasizing the organizing role of body, mind and spirit is arising from the ashes of materialistic science.

This philosophical Phoenix wears the cloak of Oriental Medicine. Once thought to be in the domain of genes, the control of anatomy, physiology and behavior are now causally linked to the energy fields and environment.

Cutting edge research in cell biology revealing the interface between environmental “signals” and cell control mechanisms provides scientific insight into the role and effectiveness of Oriental medicine in the unfoldment of our lives.

The outline focuses on the biology of how environment, and our perception of environment, regulates behavior, selects genes and even contributes to the rewriting of our genetic code. The described cellular mechanisms include master switches through which our thoughts, attitudes and beliefs create the conditions of our body and of our place.
