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."
