John Fagan, Ph.D., Professor of Molecular Biology

John Fagan, Ph.D., Professor of Molecular Biology, astonished the scientific world in November 1994 by returning $613,882 of federal grant money to the National Institutes of Health on the grounds that his DNA research may lead to dangerous applications in genetic engineering with unforeseen consequences for humanity. Dr. Fagan's principled and noble action stirred the world scientific community to reconsider the wisdom of genetic research.

(Book description provided by the publisher)
This book exposes the real story regarding genetic engineering, revealing that this approach is superficial, incomplete and hazardous, and at best, offers partial, temporary fixes, over-promoted bandaids that cause more harm than good.

It documents how proponents blatantly inflate the potential contributions of genetic engineering, while at the same time understating its extremely grave hazards to health, agriculture, and the environment.

This highly readable book also provides the essentials that each one of us needs to know to protect ourselves, our families, and our planet from these dangers.

Finally, this book offers alternatives-powerful, scientifically validated technologies that you, your physician, and the farmers who grow our food can begin using today to solve the problems that genetic engineers aspire unrealistically to address. These technologies-Maharishi's Vedic Engineering-use the most fundamental laws of nature to naturally and thoroughly solve our health, agricultural and environmental problems.

Dr. Fagan's action is "remarkable for a researcher who had succeeded in one of the most productive and competitive scientific disciplines."--The Boston Globe
