Drawing on the latest international research, leading physician and healthcare expert Professor Geoffrey Guy examines how quantum phenomena affect processes as diverse as the functioning of the brain and the body's approach to combating inflammation and disease. He shows how we may need to rethink the ways in which energy and information are carried round our nervous system.

This groundbreaking book assesses the implications for cancer treatment and mental disorders and reopens discussion of areas such as light therapy.

It also raises questions about the potentially damaging effects of space travel on astronauts' health and how they might have to be mitigated.

Key to the author's approach is his ability to explain lucidly our current knowledge while drawing in cutting-edge research. Written for the general reader, but with a scope and depth that will satisfy medical professionals, Quantum Biology reveals the latest findings from this most fascinating medical frontier.
