Dynamic DNA

Hari Sharma, MD, a Western physician with an impressive list of titles, is in reality a game changer. A reality changer. For instance, his book on cancer is not simply "Cancer Prevention"; it is The Answer to Cancer. That is, he is looking to revolutionize and reform the approach to cancer as a whole, not just chip away at it. His other book on disease is not just "Some Effective Approaches to a Tough Problem." It is Freedom from Disease. Dr. Sharma's career represents a synthesis of the modern-day knowledge of Western medicine and the ancient knowledge of the natural, comprehensive Vedic system of health care. He has extensively studied, practiced, and researched both systems. In addition, Dr. Sharma has studied under many spiritual teachers and has extensive knowledge of the Vedas and various spiritual practices. He had the honor of being named Fellow of the National Academy of Ayurveda by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Dr. Sharma is Professor Emeritus and former Director of the Division of Cancer Prevention and Natural Products Research in the Department of Pathology, College of Medicine, at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and the American Board of Pathology, a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition and Emeritus Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and a member of various national and international professional societies. Dr. Sharma is past Chair of the Integrated Medicine Committee of National AAPI (American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin). He has been practicing Ayurveda at The Ohio State University Integrative Medicine clinic since its inception in 2005. Dr. Sharma is a frequent lecturer at conferences worldwide. He has published over 150 research articles and authored/coauthored five books related to Ayurveda, including Ayurvedic Healing and Awakening Nature's Healing Intelligence.

Writer James G. Meade, PhD, is a veteran of numerous skirmishes to transform human life on earth, including the rise of software as our everyday reality and, on the consciousness front, the practice of meditation and related complementary-medicine technologies. He championed several emerging technologies for companies like Microsoft and IBM and was one of the first authors in the ground-breaking Dummies series (which brought right-brained thinking into left-brained computer and business writing). Meade collaborated with Dr. Sharma on The Answer to Cancer, which became a word-of-mouth sensation passed hand to hand by those who have read it. "It makes all that technical material digestible, even fun," readers have said, often devouring the 220-page book in one sitting. A literary man with a technical bent, Meade has published thirty previous books and sold more than 750,000 copies around the world. His The Human Resources Software Handbook, published with leading business publisher John Wiley Publishing, helped companies ease from tracking employees on spreadsheets to doing so on the web with multipurpose software. He has published five titles in the Dummies series, one of the best known and most successful book series of all time. But resolving the human condition has been his quest, and he has taught meditation to thousands of people across the United States and in Hong Kong, Nepal, Jamaica, Hungary, and Tanzania. A sought-after speaker, he just completed a tour in Asia that took him to Hong Kong, Viet Nam, Cambodia, and Thailand. His PhD is in English, from Northwestern University "with distinguished commendation." He attended graduate school on an NDEA Fellowship. A journalist at heart, he has been a columnist for several publications, including "Information Week."
