    About this ebook

    'As if by magic'; a term used when we do not understand things, science is now explaining these 'mysteries'. Frankincense given to the biblical baby Jesus, more precious than gold at that time, was called the 'sweat of the gods' by ancient Egyptians, whose properties have been found to read the DNA code in cancer cells. Oral traditions keep history alive for indigenous populations, now it seems likely us too, with our tales of sleeping beauty and snow white who were kept in suspended animation until their saviour revived them, scientists are now working on suspended animation in medical research.
