'Impossible', 'unthinkable', 'blasphemous'; 'outrageous' - just about every major theory and proposed advance in medicine or science has been dismissed in one of these ways, usually just before it turned out to be correct (and sometimes after too). So, here are some more theories, taken from the well-respected journal Medical Hypotheses: "Growing a beard will lower the risk of cancer"; "short-sighted people are more intelligent"; "shaving can make you sick"; "your pet dog increases the likelihood of breast cancer (but your pet cat won't)" and of course "death can be cured". This collection describes, in a witty and accessible style, the work of medical researchers and practitioners from all over the world who were encouraged to think the 'unthinkable', and the result is an engaging, stimulating - somewhat bizarre, but certainly never dull - popular science book that will show you (some of) the future. Death Can be Cured! Well, in theory...
