Deep within the isolated volcanic waters of the San Benedicto Island, a massive 20-foot ocean giant defies everything scientists thought they knew about marine life. Once feared as legendary "devil fish," giant manta rays are now known to be peaceful, highly intelligent creatures possessing mammalian-sized brains and a strange, deep curiosity for human contact.

Seven years ago Dr. Norman Doidge introduced Neuroplasticity to the world – the idea that our brains aren’t rigid, that they can change, can be rewired. The Brain’s Way of Healing is about neuroplasticity’s invaluable next step – healing the mind and the body. It’s revolutionary and in some instances shocking – we’ll see people’s lifelong afflictions cured almost miraculously. But miracles have nothing to do with it. It’s about how science and medicine are looking at the brain in different ways and discovering that permanent, lifelong and even life threatening ailments and diseases can now be dealt with–and in many instances done away with. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 01:00 - The man that walked off his parkinsonian symptoms ▷ 08:02 - A device that resets the brain helps two women recover from traumatic brain injuries ▷ 12:30 - The portable neuromodulation stimulator that reverses the symptoms of a muscular sclerosis patient ▷ 20:15 - Using energy and sound waves to help rewire the brain of autistic children ▷ 32:40 - Healing a brain injury with low-intensity

After several family members developed Alzheimer's disease, Julia Ravey decided to become a neuroscientist and find the cure. Following recent research that suggests a link between the stomach, the brain and mental health, she meets the scientists harnessing the power of what is called "The Microbiome". Julia travels to Australia, where she meets Dr. Barry Marshall, a Nobel-prize winner who infected himself with H. pylori to prove that bacteria could cause ulcers, leading to a breakthrough in the stomach cancer treatment. However, bacteria are not all bad – in the Netherlands, she visits the Micropia Museum, learning that microbes can also be essential to our way of life. Understanding the microbiome as a kind of ecosystem that is part of the human body, scientists are attempting to increase the presence of microbes across the body by intentionally infecting people with more infectious agents. As microbiologists from Rutgers University explain to Julia, increasing microbial diversity in the body boosts its immunity, and helps people fight disease from the inside out.
