Despite the advances in scientific medicine, the workings of the human body remain a mystery to most of us. How can someone suddenly wake up after spending nearly 20 years in a coma? And how can a child's tumour suddenly disappear on the eve of surgery? "Mysteries of the Human Body" attempts to provide the answers to these and many other medical riddles. Drawing on cases past and present, it also reveals the truth behind such unusual phenomena as out-of-body experiences and sympathetic sickness. Additional chapters cover recently discovered allergies, pioneering surgery and developments in modern medicine that could have a dramatic effect on our lives in years to come. The book is a fascinating and informative guide to the world of medicine and the complex mechanism that is the human body.
