Description
The Second Brain: A Groundbreaking New Understanding of Nervous Disorders of the Stomach and Intestine
Dr. Michael Gershon's groundbreaking research has led to a profound discovery: nerve cells in the gut that act as a brain, controlling our digestive system independently.
This revolutionary understanding has far-reaching implications for the diagnosis and treatment of various gastrointestinal problems, including gastroenteritis, nervous stomach, and irritable bowel syndrome. By shedding new light on these conditions, Dr. Gershon's work is already benefiting patients whose symptoms were previously dismissed as neurotic or "all in your head".
