Synopsis

Is there a way to fight back against "incurable" disease? California thought so ― and put its money where its mind was ― three billion dollars' worth! And when that was gone, how about five and a half billion dollars more ― to build and expand the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine?

For some, science excites; it is the great adventure, to challenge the impossible: like a real-life battle with a giant squid, or the proposed disassembly of the Eiffel Tower, or ejecting from a jet in the sky, from a height greater than Mount Everest.

For others, regenerative medicine is a mystery ― could the urge to do murder have a genetic cause ― which might be reduced?

And for everyone, there is the fight to protect our loved ones' lives― 133 million of us, suffering from chronic disease ― from America alone, a colossal cost of $3 trillion dollars last year.

An epic battle, "Science, Politics, Stem Cells and Genes: CALIFORNIA'S WAR ON CHRONIC DISEASE" takes the reader behind the scenes.

An award-winning teacher, Reed shares science in stories ― including the systematic assault on Alzheimer's disease, cancer, autism, epilepsy, liver failure, schizophrenia, obesity, stroke, sickle cell, arthritis, blindness, paralysis, kidney failure, ALS, aging, and much, much more.

Readers can expect a greater understanding of the intricate adventure of stem cell research, as well as the political wrestling it took to make progress possible ― that California's effort may benefit the world.

From early research to clinical trials, America should take pride in the accomplishments of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
