Descrizione
Considered miraculous events by religious popular culture, exceptional healings or spontaneous remissions in oncology are the object of consideration in this book. It investigates the role that the immune system and other particular defense mechanisms, along with evidently as yet unknown biological mechanisms, play in determining unusual, not at all clear-cut cases, yet known to those involved, so much so that it is a possible field of research. With clear, dry style and informative purpose, the author thus questions the secrets of life, rearranging the international bibliography that has covered the complex topics of unknown biochemical resources, “reversion,” factors controlling cell proliferation, the interconnection of mind and body, and so on. Hence emerges a book rich in news and full of hope, a stimulus for new investigations in future medicine.
