SUMMARY
First-person presentation of Niehans's cellular-therapy protocol and clinical accounts. Contains case descriptions and theoretical justification; contains no controlled outcome data, statistical methodology, blinding, or independently-verified clinical endpoints. The standard primary reference for Niehans's own framing of the practice. Pageant Books 1960 is the canonical English first edition; no ISBN (predates the ISBN system).
NOTES

The book is the principal first-person account of the Niehans protocol and its theoretical framework. It is constructed as exposition and case description rather than controlled investigation. As a document of how Niehans presented his own work to an English-speaking medical and lay audience at the height of his international profile, it is indispensable; as evidence of efficacy, it is uncontrolled and biased by selection.
