Geoffrey Guy

Drawing on the latest international research, leading physician and healthcare expert Professor Geoffrey Guy examines how quantum phenomena affect processes as diverse as the functioning of the brain and the body's approach to combating inflammation and disease. He shows how we may need to rethink the ways in which energy and information are carried round our nervous system. This groundbreaking book assesses the implications for cancer treatment and mental disorders and reopens discussion of areas such as light therapy. It also raises questions about the potentially damaging effects of space travel on astronauts' health and how they might have to be mitigated. Key to the author's approach is his ability to explain lucidly our current knowledge while drawing in cutting-edge research. Written for the general reader, but with a scope and depth that will satisfy medical professionals, Quantum Biology reveals the latest findings from this most fascinating medical frontier.

In 2021, GW Pharmaceuticals plc was sold for $7.2 billion (£5.2 billion), but Dr Geoffrey Guy started it with just a licence from the UK Home Office and his personal cheque book. A Worthwhile Medicine tells the story of how and why he persuaded reluctant health regulators, sceptical investors and a conservative medical establishment that cannabis really could form the basis for a modern pharmaceutical - which he defines as 'a worthwhile medicine that can make money'. He had built up one publicly quoted pharmaceutical company only to have to step down from the top job after a failed attempt to float on the UK stock market. Undeterred, he started another venture after hearing heartrending tales of how multiple sclerosis sufferers were being denied symptom-relief because cannabis was a prohibited drug. He believed the answer was not to change the law and decriminalise recreational drugs but to create a licensed medicine from cannabis that doctors could prescribe safely for their patients. Looking to the future, Dr Guy has established a foundation to explore the exciting new area of quantum biology - the science of sub-atomic particles - which is completely changing our understanding of the ways in which all life functions.

He has taught at some of the most prestigious land based colleges in Britain. He trained as a professional hunter and game keeper and as well as his teaching job he still manages deer professionally as a deer stalker, carrying out culls, guiding clients and advising on deer management strategy. His experience working out of doors, hunting, trapping and teaching has equipped him with excellent bushcraft skills. He has operated his own bushcraft and survival skills training companies since 2010 and has also managed outdoor and environmental education centers in Norfolk and Scotland over the course of his career. A keen traveler, Geoff has honed his survival skills in New Zealand and Scandinavia. HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Geoffrey's memoir opens in May 1940, when he was eighteen years old and his grammar school in Kent was being evacuated to Staffordshire, away from the danger of German invasion. The station platform was crowded with hordes of exhausted soldiers rescued from Dunkirk, and the skies alive with the aircraft which would soon be fighting the Battle of Britain. In the autumn Geoffrey went up to Brasenose College, Oxford, to read History, pursue his passion for cricket, join the University Air Squadron and begin the one and only romance of his life. One year later he volunteered for full-time service with the RAF. He writes about wartime Oxford; pilot training in Canada, England and Palestine; and operational fl ying in the Middle and Far East. He took part in the highly dangerous work of photographic reconnaissance over Burma, flying unarmed Spitfires and Hurricanes low over heavily defended targets in enemy-occupied territory. His descriptions of student life, learning to fly, foreign travel, and camaraderie with fellow pilots are fi lled with excitement, hope and humour. The mood becomes more serious in later chapters as he relates the death of successive friends, his certain conviction of his own death during the Battle of Imphal, and the miracle of his survival. The story has a happy ending; after the war, despite being 'shrunken and yellow' on return from his harrowing ordeals, he married his teenage sweetheart and completed his degree.
