THE SECOND BRAIN - MICHAEL GERSHON KARTONIERT (TB)

"Persuasive  impassioned. . . hopeful news [for those] suffering from functional bowel
disease." -- New York Times Book Review Dr. Michael Gershon's groundbreaking book fills the gap
between what you need to know--and what your doctor has time to tell you. Dr. Michael Gershon
has devoted his career to understanding the human bowel (the stomach  esophagus  small
intestine  and colon). His thirty years of research have led to an extraordinary rediscovery:
nerve cells in the gut that act as a brain. This "second brain" can control our gut all by
itself. Our two brains--the one in our head and the one in our bowel--must cooperate. If they
do not  then there is chaos in the gut and misery in the head--everything from "butterflies" to
cramps  from diarrhea to constipation. Dr. Gershon's work has led to radical new understandings
about a wide range of gastrointestinal problems including gastroenteritis  nervous stomach  and
irritable bowel syndrome. The Second Brain represents a quantum leap in medical knowledge and
is already benefiting patients whose symptoms were previously dismissed as neurotic or "it's
all in your head."
