PRENATAL BIOLOGY
NATURE, NURTURE AND THE POWER OF LOVE
Dr. Bruce H. Lipton Ph.D.
If you have ever
wondered about the science behind our existence then here we present Dr. Bruce
Lipton and a piece of his research as it pertains to pregnancy, birth and
beyond.
Leading edge research in cell biology reveals that “environmental signals” are primarily responsible for selecting the genes expressed by an organism. This new perspective is in direct contrast with the established view that our fate is controlled by our genes. The new emphasis on nurture (environment) controlling nature (genes) focuses special attention on the importance of the maternal environment in fetal development. In addition to the established role of maternal physiology, it is now recognized that maternal behaviors and emotions profoundly impact the child’s physical development, behavioral characteristics and even its level of intelligence.
Binnie has been a pioneer in the field of waterbirth since the very beginning. In 1980 she helped prepare and support the parents of the first waterbirth in the USA and was present at the birth. She considers it to be the "Ultimate Alternative" and in 1984 delivered this paper at the APPPAH congress.
