Synopsis

What merely began as an enquiry into Irritable Bowel Syndrome ended in the author identifying at least four factors which underlie psychosomatic, emotional and stress-related diseases and disorders, namely: the nervous system, pregnancy, childbirth and "libido-related" mutations and polymorphisms of genes.The foundations of the book are laid in an introductory first chapter which gives a brief description of the human nervous system and some of the processes associated with pregnancy and childbirth. In the second chapter, which sets the tone for succeeding ones, the author boldly asserts that human nerve cells oscillate at various frequencies (delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma) precisely because they are taught to do so during pregnancy and childbirth. From this basic premise, he proceeds in the third chapter to construct a paradigm of "libido-related" polymorphisms and mutations of genes which explains the origin of a whole host of diseases and disorders closely associated with the nervous system, including: stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and cancer, to name a few. Following an exposition, in the fourth chapter, of some of the conditions to which he ascribes this "libido-related" aetiology, he brings the book to a close in the fifth with a brief consideration of therapies which fall mainly within the domain of complementary medicine and some of which may be further developed along the lines of the author’s own unique understanding as well as within the context of his “libido-related” paradigm. Two appendices, one of which postulates a neural basis for cancer and the other of which presents a case study in schizophrenia, provide personalized views of these two major areas of concern to medics and society. It is hoped that this truly multi-faceted book will be of interest not only to intelligent laymen and -women who have had some kind of encounter with one or more of the conditions described, but also health workers, medical researchers and students who seek a novel and invigorating way of looking at old medical problems.
