Bruce Lipton
Bruce Harold Lipton (born October 21, 1944 at Mount Kisco, New York), is an American developmental biologist who supported the theory that gene expression could be influenced (via epigenetics) by environmental factors, i.e. environmental factors have a greater impact on health than genetic research has previously determined
Biography[edit]
Lipton received a B.A. in biology from C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University in 1966 and a PhD in developmental biology from the University of Virginia in 1971.[1] From 1973 to 1982, he taught anatomy at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, before joining St. George's University School of Medicine as a professor of anatomy for three years.[1] Lipton has said that sometime in the 1980s he abandoned his lifelong atheism and came to believe that the way cells function demonstrates the existence of God.[2]
From 1987 to 1992, Lipton was involved in research at Pennsylvania State University and Stanford University Medical Center.[1] Since 1993, Lipton has been teaching in non-tenure positions at different universities.[1]
In 2010, Katherine Ellison writing in her opinion column in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment asserted that Lipton "remains on the sidelines of conventional discussions of epigenetics," and quoted Lipton as saying he was basically ignored by mainstream science.[3]
Science-Based Medicine, a website that deals with medical controversies and alternate medicine, carried an article in which surgical oncologist and editor David Gorski was critical of Bruce Lipton and his work, likened his theories to the belief in the law of attraction, also known as "The Secret" – "wanting something badly enough makes it so".[4]

Lipton remains on the sidelines of conventional discussions of epigenetics. Mainstream science has basically ignored him, he says – something he may in fact have encouraged, with his extraordinarily unrestrained enthusiasm.
