Reviews
The Living Medicine is a page-turning story that chronicles how scientific progress challenges orthodoxy. Written with evidence and with charisma, this book reads like Malcolm Gladwell at his best, the suspense never stops, but neither does science, every fact and theory are documented in refereed journals. . . Zeldovich uncovered something at the intersection of history and science that you need to know. Read this book and you'll see the future of medical treatment.Ransom Stephens, author of The Left Brain Speaks, the Right Brain Laughs
