Dr. Bruce Lipton – The Biology of Belief – Dr. Bruce Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist. He received his Ph.D. Degree from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville before joining the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine in 1973. Dr. Lipton’s research on muscular dystrophy, studies employing cloned human stem cells, focused upon the molecular mechanisms controlling cell behavior. An experimental tissue transplantation technique developed by Dr. Lipton and colleague Dr. Ed Schultz and published in the journal Science was subsequently employed as a novel form of human genetic engineering. www.brucelipton.com

The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of New Biology. Author Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor (University of Wisconsin) and research scientist (Stanford University School of Medicine). His experiments, and that of other leading-edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes/DNA do not control our biology; that instead, DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. Dr. Lipton’s profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.

This book will forever change how you think about your own thinking. Stunning new scientific discoveries about the biochemical effects of the brain’s functioning show that all the cells of your body are affected by your thoughts. The author, a renowned cell biologist, describes the precise molecular pathways through which this occurs. Using simple language, illustrations, humor and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter, and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our species. www.beliefbook.com

Dr. Maureen Reed – Team Minnesota's candidate for Lt. Governor for the Independence Party – The traditional role for the Lt. Governor is as a ceremonial stand-in for the Governor. We should expect and get more for our money from an elected state executive. The Lt. Governor should be ready to become Governor, if necessary. That means the Lt. Governor must be a full partner with the Governor and Team Minnesota in setting priorities and employing resources to achieve those results.

Dr. Maureen Reed has dedicated her career to delivering better health outcomes for Minnesotans. She earned her medical degree from the University of Minnesota, practiced as Internal Medicine doctor, and most recently served as the Medical Director for HealthPartners. In 1997, she was elected by the Legislature to the Board of Regents at the University of Minnesota where she served for 8 years. As the Chair of the Regents she led the University through the successful transition from Mark Yudof to President Bob Bruininks. As Minnesota's next Lt. Governor, Maureen will use those leadership skills and passion for health care reform to move this state forward. http://www.teammn.com/

Minnesota’s Independence Party – Independence Party Chair Jim Moore and former Minnesota Congressman Tim Penny join me to talk about the party, its views and the up and coming November election. Minnesota’s Independence Party (IP) was established in 1992 by visionary Minnesotans who believed in a more ethical, accountable, and fiscally responsible government. Its defining issues were eliminating the federal budget deficit and ending the influence of special interest money that overwhelms the voice of average citizens. Just two years later, Dean Barkley’s solid US Senate campaign performance helped us earn major party status, a remarkable achievement for a political party in its infancy. The Independence Party has preserved its major party status in every election since. www.mnip.org or www.teamMN.com

That's the Spirit!

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press

Fresh and Homemade by MARY ANN GROSSMANN
A look at a wide range of books by Minnesotans that could easily get lost among best-sellers.

THAT'S THE SPIRIT Readers seeking spirituality might want to look at "How Does the Heart Know Love?'' by WCCO radio personality Brad Walton (Beaver's Pond Press, $8.95). In this little paperback, Walton shares his story of a profound spiritual transformation following his open-heart surgery. "The pages of this book embrace my journey through many different types of loss,'' he writes. "The thread common to all of them is about the love we give and receive in this life …" Book clubs will find a lot of thought-provoking material in Walton's musings.

War on the Middle Class

Here is a portion of what Lou Dobbs has to say in the article "Middle Class Needs to Fight Back Now" from October 11th, 2006. Lou's new book is entitled, "War on the Middle Class".

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/10/Dobbs.Oct11/index.html

"There's something all of us could do that would have an immediate impact and send a powerful message to both corporation-dominated political parties and to our elected officials in Washington. Our so-called representatives in both parties have been working against the interests of the middle class for so long that they take our votes for granted, or they take advantage of the fact that a sizable number of us don't vote at all.

So what if a majority of us decided once and for all to walk into our town and city halls all over the country and change our party affiliation from Republican or Democrat to independent? What if that sizable number of us who don't vote at all decided to register as independents? For the first time in decades, working middle-class Americans might just get the attention of our elected officials in Washington.

Our middle class has suffered in silence for far too long, and it cannot afford to suffer or be silent much longer. Hardworking Americans have not spoken out about their increasingly marginalized role in this society, and as a consequence they've all but lost their voice.

Without that strong, clear and vibrant voice, all the major decisions about America and our future will be made by the elites of government, big business and the dominant special interests. Those elites treasure your silence, as it enables them to claim America's future for their own."
