Welcome to my website.   Available November 2010. If you belong to an academic institution, please consider having your library purchase our volume directly from the the New York Academy of Science by clicking here.   If you are buying the book for yourself but the price is inhibitory, you might consider going here. No, I don't often hang out with the Dalai Lama or Nobel Prize winners. Mostly, to paraphrase His Holiness, "I am just a simple liver pathologist" and a member of the Departments of Pathology and of Medicine (Division of Digestive Diseases), of Beth Israel Medical Center of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. But sometimes things lead to unexpected places. New Articles: • Beyond Cell Doctrine Complexity Theory Informs Alternate Models of the Body for Cross-Cultural Dialogue • From the Global to the Local Possible Pathways for the Transduction of Indo-Sino-Tibetan Cognitive-Behavioral Practices into Site-Specific, Tissue-Regenerative Effects • Toward a Unified Field of Study: Longevity, Regeneration, and Protection of Health through Meditation and Related Practices   If you would like to be put on Neil's mailing list for updates about talks given in the New York City area click here

 

Everything in this website – from histopathologic studies to stem cells to cell plasticity to biological implications of complexity theory to metaphysical speculations to integrative medicine – derives from observing liver biopsy specimens with what in Zen practice is often referred to as beginner’s mind and from sharing these and subsequent observations with creative individuals from diverse disciplines. 

I hope that if you come to this website with one particular interest that you might dabble in a bit of beginner’s mind practice by wandering around on some pages you were not expecting to encounter.

Enjoy!
