In his autobiography, emergency medicine physician Dr. Derek J. Robinson recounts his upbringing in an unconventional African American family in Shreveport, LA, where the path to college, let alone medical school, was wrought with the barriers of prejudice, loss, doubt, and low societal expectations. With the love of family and friends, the help of dedicated mentors who saw the extraordinary in him and his own self-determination, Dr. Robinson defied the odds, becoming a celebrated Chicago-based physician, healthcare executive, dedicated husband and father of two, and community servant.

The universe is not a mechanical system of matter - it operates like a cosmic network that runs on and is connected by information. Information "in-forms" and underlies all of the physical world, including the human body. In this book, Pier Mario Biava, MD, and Ervin Laszlo, PhD, show how this "information" worldview can be applied to healing and medicine and, specifically, how it underlies a revolutionary new approach to cancer and disease treatment, one that works directly with the epigenetic code - the information that programs the function and growth of every living cell.

How does it feel to rescue survivors, and what is it like to recover the bodies of those who you didn’t reach in time?
