Oncologia

L'intento di questa trattazione è quello di definire la terapia biologica dei tumori nei suoi complessi meccanismi d'azione, tenendo conto dell'esperienza scientifica del professor Di Bella e nello stesso tempo anche della letteratura internazionale, riguardante tutti gli elementi che contribuiscono a chiarificarne i principi e gli effetti. Il testo traduce il linguaggio fisiologico estremamente ermetico per i non addetti ai lavori, creando un collegamento tra la scienza pura e la scienza clinica. Il volume è corredato inoltre della Guida Pratica alla prescrizione della Multiterapia Di Bella.
