Miscellaneous & Emerging

The books here cover gene therapy and CRISPR-based treatment, sickle cell gene therapy, personalised mRNA cancer vaccines, proton therapy, faecal microbiota transplant (FMT), medical marijuana, biofeedback, hypnotherapy and tinnitus retraining therapy. Each volume holds 50 accounts from people who went first: how they became candidates, what the trials and approvals were like, what the treatment itself felt like, and the watchful months afterwards.
