This book offers a new paradigm in healing cancers and degenerative diseases. The author explains how our connection to the universe as well as influences on embryonic development affect our health. I was particularly interested in his descriptions of zebrafish embryos, which contain 95 percent of the same proteins found in humans. Laszlo explains how stem cells alone do not evoke healing. Rather the factors in zebrafish embryos are able to regulate the expression of the p53 cancer suppressor gene, allow for stem cell differentiation, heal genetic changes, and increase apoptosis in malignant cells.

The amount of information in this book is nearly overwhelming but anyone interested in the treatment of cancer will find that exploring this information is well worth the effort. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This basic premise of this book is that everything in the world is connected and all healthy things are integrated. It looks at medicine holistically and approaches the treatment of cancer by re-informing/reprogramming the cells rather than the usual aggressive ‘fight’ against cancer (based on cutting edge stem cell research). I love the idea that we can reprogram ourselves to heal, and the possibility of less invasive future treatments. The book is not an easy read and is more suited to those from a medical or scientific background. However it is a worthwhile read due to its groundbreaking theories pushing the boundaries of traditional medicine. There is a lot of scientific research referenced in the book but more than anything else the passion and commitment of the authors shines through. Books like this are so important for the future direction of medicine and healing.

This book presents fascinating research on stem cell differentiation stage factors and how they can be used to essentially reprogram the body's cells to combat chronic diseases, cancer, and support the immune system. The author dives deep into research, highlighting key studies for the reader, and providing evidence that stem cell differentiation stage factors can be used to bring the body back into homeostasis. The book is geared toward readers with experience deciphering medical research and solid knowledge of medical terminology.

While it's not a quick read, the author offers valuable information and insight into stem cell research and potential applications.

I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Dr. Biava’s groundbreaking research on SCDSFs is a fascinating and debatable area. Information Medicine is a wonderful ext that delves into the details of the ground-breaking research and tries to explain the significance this may have on the future of medicine.

Whilst those with an interest in the area may enjoy the book and the research it provides, I felt a little distanced by the concepts of the 'cosmic information-network' which soon became the primary focus of the text. There is also a tricky balance between over-explaining the biological concepts that underpin the research and using terminology that makes the research difficult to follow for the average reader- something to be wary of before tackling this book.

Nonetheless, an interesting read for pondering the future treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis.
