Cracking The Stem Cell Code

Cracking The Stem Cell Code, 3rd Edition with New Chapters

By Christian Drapeau, MSc.

Demystifies the most important scientific breakthrough of our times. It reveals the far-reaching potential of adult stem cells and how understanding the natural role of stem cells in the body changes our understanding of human health and wellness. It provides a means of tapping into the regenerative potential of our own stem cells.
