Conversations on Health Freedom with Alan Rodrigues and Amy Shyer

Are we nothing more than trillions of cells containing DNA or is there some hidden force that directs life? Professors Amy Shyer and Alan Rodrigues's ground breaking research reveals how cells organize themselves thereby challenging reductionist and technocratic approaches to mainstream biology and our very understanding of life.
