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.
