Download or read book Principles of Cancer Biotherapy written by Robert K. Oldham and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-29 with total page 743 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of the first edition of Principles of Cancer Biotherapy in 1987, this book represented the first comprehensive textbook on biological therapy. In 1991, when the second edition was published, there was still some doubt on the part of many oncologists and cancer researchers as to the therapeutic value of these new approaches. By 2003 and the fourth edition, it was generally agreed that biopharmaceuticals were producing major opportunities for new cancer therapies. Cancer biotherapy has now truly matured into the fourth modality of cancer treatment. This fifth revised edition describes the tremendous progress that has been made in recent years using biologicals in cancer treatment. This book summarizes an evolving science and a rapidly changing medical practice in biotherapy. In this new millennium, it is now possible to envision a much more diversified system of cancer research and treatment that will afford greater opportunities for a patient’s personalized cancer treatment. This was first envisioned in the 1987 initial edition of this textbook and is now a “new” and popular approach to cancer treatment. Some forms of cancer biotherapy use the strategy of tumor stabilization and control through continued biological therapy, akin to the use of insulin in the treatment of diabetes. This textbook illustrates new methods of thinking and new strategies for control of cancer. It is always difficult to move from past dogma to future opportunity, but this fifth edition of Principles of Cancer Biotherapy illustrates why it is so important to the patients for researchers and clinicians to explore and quickly apply these new opportunities in cancer biotherapy.

This book was released on 2020-04-03 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Biofiltration to Promising Options in Gaseous Fluxes Biotreatment: Recent Developments, New Trends, Advances, and Opportunities provides an overview on the biological tools used for the treatment of the gaseous fluxes, with emphasis on traditional and perspective options, opening new horizons for research and implementation in practice. It is known that air pollution is an emergent global issue and a priority within the international environmental programs. Moreover, technologies based on biological methods are significantly contributing to the sustainable development concept. Thus this book provides tools for solving air pollution issues in a sustainable manner. These issues can be solved at different levels (e.g., "end-of-pipe" gaseous streams, indoor/outdoor air, closed environments), which can be approached by the different biotechniques presented in the book, from classical biofiltration techniques (part 1) to phytotreatment and microalgae-based techniques (part 2). Although all options have their particularities that make them special for certain applications, a special attention is drawn to the potential of the last one, which offers multiple possibilities for biomass valorization. Scientists from worldwide with relevant experience in their field have been contributed to the development of this book. Presents the main biotechnological aspects applied for gas purification, focusing on process understanding, limitations, and capability in different applications Promotes a sustainable future of the biofiltration process by enhancing their performance together with the simultaneously economic and environmental impacts Implements new aspects of scientific research and development in the field

Download or read book Biotherapy written by Csongor Daniel and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotherapy, A healing for the 21st Century, is a comprehensive guide to self-development in energy-healing. It not only explains what bioenergy is, but it also provides a well-established lesson in biotherapy for the beginning healer. From learning about the ancient history of energy-healing to the mastery of modern healers, the reader is invited to take a trip toward self-improvement and eventually become a healer himself. Biotherapy is similar to all the other energy-balancing techniques, however, the simplicity and speed of the treatments makes it one of the most powerful healing methods ever developed. The book was written for every open-minded individual, regardless of education or religion, who wants to tap into the paranormal with his feet still touching the ground. The proven, practical exercises teach you in a matter of minutes how to see and feel the energy fields that surround us, while the explanations are still within the boundaries of modern physics and science. If that is not enough, you may continue to develop your own healing abilities through easy-to-follow instructions, and become an influential Biotherapist or even Dowser. Csongor Daniel's main objective is to show you that you don't have to be gifted in order to become a healer. All you need is desire and knowledge. This whole new way of energy-healing, which was developed in eastern Europe, also explains the reasons for the changes in our energy-fields, how these changes affect us, and how to avoid them. If we do get affected, we'll learn how to abolish those changes and continue a healthy lifestyle. The book covers both mind and body techniques for energy enhancement, plus some contemporary treatments that also amplify the bioenergy. After letting your "sixth" sense slowly take over, and occasionally alleviating some of your friends' or relatives' pain, or healing a serious health condition, you'll realize that the best doctor is indeed within yourself.

If you are a fast reader, you may learn to heal in only one day. By the end of the book, you will become a healer for a lifetime. Csongor Daniel was one of the first officially recognized bioenergy healers in the former Yugoslavia, trained by the legendary Zdenko Domancic. While his teacher has healed more than a million people, Csongor has no such ambitions. Instead, he would like to teach more than a million of you how to become healers yourselves. Bioenergy Healing will teach you how to feel and see the energy fields of the body and how to manipulate the energy in order to induce healing. QR codes throughout the book enable readers to see the techniques demonstrated in brief videos. Who needs Bioenergy Healing? Anyone who has ever dabbled in healing, but is still looking for the right method; people who read most books on energy healing, but are still puzzled by complicated approaches and explanations; individuals who want to learn energy healing, but are too busy to take months or years of courses; health professionals who want to add a new effective modality to their practices; parents and children who want to help their friends and family members reduce or eliminate pain and heal without drugs. In other words: everyone wanting to help others to heal.
