Neue Quanten-Erkenntnisse für ein langes und gesundes Leben. Gemeinsam mit dem Quantenphysiker Dr. Jack Tuszynski und dem Endokrinologen Dr. Brian Fertig zeigt der Bestsellerautor und ganzheitliche Mediziner Deepak Chopra, wie sich die Erkenntnisse der Quantenwissenschaft darauf auswirken, wie wir leben und altern.

For years after graduating from medical school, Dr. Clifton K. Meador assumed that symptoms of the body, when obviously not imaginary, indicate a disease of the body - something to be treated with drugs, surgery, or other traditional means. But, over several decades, as he saw patients with clear symptoms but no discernible disease, he concluded that his own assumptions were too narrow and, indeed, that the underlying basis for much of clinical medicine was severely limited.

No one could believe the handsome young doctor might be a serial killer. Wherever he was hired - in Ohio, Illinois, New York, South Dakota - Michael Swango at first seemed the model physician. Then his patients began dying under suspicious circumstances.
