Taking us to the cutting edge of the new frontier of medicine, a visionary biotechnologist and a pathbreaking researcher show how we can optimize our health in ways that were previously unimaginable. We are on the cusp of a major transformation in healthcare—yet few people know it. At top hospitals and a few innovative health-tech startups, scientists are working closely with patients to dramatically extend their “healthspan�—the number of healthy years before disease sets in. In The Age of Scientific Wellness, two visionary leaders of this revolution in health take us on a thrilling journey to this new frontier of medicine. Today, most doctors wait for clinical symptoms to appear before they act, and the ten most commonly prescribed medications confer little or no benefit to most people taking them. Leroy Hood and Nathan Price argue that we must move beyond this reactive, hit-or-miss approach to usher in real precision health—a form of highly personalized care they call “scientific wellness.� Using information gleaned from our blood and genes and tapping into the data revolution made possible by AI, doctors can catch the onset of disease years before symptoms arise, revolutionizing prevention. Current applications have shown startling results: diabetes reversed, cancers eliminated, Alzheimer’s avoided, autoimmune conditions kept at bay. This is not a future fantasy: it is already happening, but only for a few patients and at high cost. It’s time to make this gold standard of care more widely available. Inspiring in its possibilities, radical in its conclusions, The Age of Scientific Wellness shares actionable insights to help you chart a course to a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

BEGINS PROFESSIONAL CAREER HIS FIRST ATTEMPTS TO INDUCE ANAESTHESIA. " Men are fond of repeating that discoveries are most commonly the result of accident; we have seen reason to reject this opinion, since that preparation of thought by which the accident produces discovery is the most important of the conditions on which the successful event depends."? Wtimsell, History of the Inductive Saienees. Previous to the period to which we now refer, the art of dentistry had, but in rare instances, reached the dignity of a separate and respectable profession. Composing a part of the knowledge 'and duties of every medical practitioner, it was never expected that much relief would be afforded through their aid, except by the extraction of some troublesome and aching tooth, and the employment of such mechanical appliances as the press of a daily round of business and their low price allowed. Even in the larger towns, where constant demand had induced some to turn their attention to this as an especial study, but few were really competent and well-skilled men. Ignorant of everything appertaining to this branch except what could merely be acquired by them from their own experiments, without previous education, they did not hesitate unscrupulously to subject their unsuspecting victims to every mischance which their ignorance or hardihood might cause to happen. It is only necessary to quote, in support of this, from the mouth of a man who was fully able to pass an opinion. In an address delivered at Baltimore in the year 1840, by Dr. Chapin A. Harris, he says: " No credential or evidence of competency having been looked for or required, the profession has become crowded with individuals, ignorant alike of its theory and practice; and hence its CHAP.
