"The brain is not the only place in the body that's full of neurotransmitters, a hundred million neurotransmitters line the length of the gut, approximately the same number that is found in the brain...the brain in the bowel has got to work right or no one will have the luxury to think at all." - Dr. Gershon (Book: The Second Brain, 1998)
