About This Book
The Second Brain: A Groundbreaking New Understanding of Nervous Disorders of the Stomach and Intestine
By Dr. Michael Gershon
Published: November 17, 1999
About the Book:
Dr. Michael Gershon's groundbreaking book, "The Second Brain," fills the gap between what you need to know and what your doctor has time to tell you. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between the gut and the brain. Dr. Gershon has devoted his career to understanding the human bowel, and 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, and 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.
Who Uses It?
Primarily, this book is used by medical professionals, researchers, and individuals suffering from gastrointestinal issues such as gastroenteritis, nervous stomach, and irritable bowel syndrome. It's also a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the nervous system of the stomach and intestine.
History and Editions:
"The Second Brain" represents a quantum leap in medical knowledge and has already benefited patients whose symptoms were previously dismissed as neurotic or "it's all in your head." This book has been a cornerstone in the field of gastroenterology since its publication in 1999.
