Body Truth; “Molecules of Emotion” Chapter 13, Truth
by Lisa T.
This book was written in 1997 but 22 years later, there is still an ongoing materialistic tendency among holistic practitioners and adherents. It’s mainly projected on food but includes expensive supplements, vitamins, lotions, herbals, wraps, and more. I believe much of it is unnecessary. The first part of Chapter 13 is very materialist focused as Dr. Pert is attending a Wellness conference where panelists are not altogether holistic. I’ve been mulling this issue over for ten years now and have […]

Body Truth; “Molecules of Emotion”, Chapter 11-Crossing Over, Coming Together, Part II
by Lisa T.
I’m almost done giving you the scoop on “Molecules of Emotion” by Dr. Candace Pert, Ph.D. I’m going to finish summing up Chapter 11 of this great book where she talks about healing herself after all she’s been through in the NIH lab, with the men, and being unfairly excluded from the Lasker Award because she’s a woman. She says, “I realized that I had been angry for years, harboring deep resentments that went all the way back to […]

Body Truth; “Molecules of Emotion”, Chapter 10-Child of the New Paradigm
by Lisa T.
The second half of the book is far less traumatic than the first half because she finally starts keeping company with holistic folks and realizes how awful the National Institutes of Health was for her. As a woman, it was very hard to read chapters 1-7. Chapters 8-13 were great though. In Chapter 10 she is dealing with working to come up with a cure for HIV with her team. In the section called “Intervention”, she was giving a speech […]

Chapter 8-Turning Point Continued
by Lisa T.
Dr. Pert was speaking of Norman Cousins: “What the body needed was the life-affirming, joyous experience of laughter. State of mind, thought, and feelings, all of which were completely ignored by the medical model, did, in fact, play a major role in recovery. He even postulated that the laughter had triggered a release of endorphins, which, by elevating his mood, had somehow brought about a total remission of his disease.”-pg. 167 of “Molecules of Emotion” NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO […]

Chapter 7-The Mind-Body Connection and Emotion-Carrying Peptides
by Lisa T.
I’m in the section where Candace’s father has died and she’s had it with being treated like dirt because she’s a brilliant woman with quite an intuition. Again, gee, ya don’t say! Here are a few tidbits: “The body is the unconscious mind. Repressed traumas caused by overwhelming emotion can be stored in a body part, thereafter affecting our ability to feel that part or even move it.” This was her conclusion after giving a detailed blow by blow of […]
