HEALING RESEARCH brings you a comprehensive summary of scientific literature on spiritual healing and energy medicine.

Volume I
Spiritual Healing:
Scientific Validation of a Healing Revolution    (Popular edition)   

This unique book brings you a comprehensive summary of scientific literature on spiritual healing from around the world.
    Healers make broad claims for the benefits of their treatments. This volume reviews a broad spectrum of anecdotal reports of methods and significant effects of healings. There is now reason to believe that many of these healing reports have substance.
    This book will radically change your perceptions of the world and of how you can relate to yourself, to other people and to your environment.

• Comprehensive summary of research literature on spiritual healing (Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, etc.) from around the world, with a broad spectrum of healers’ reports of their methods and of positive results of healings..
      Healers present an enormous spectrum of approaches that can bring about improvements in many conditions which don't respond to conventional medical care. On rare occasions there are very rapid, even instantaneous transformations from illness to health. More often, there are gradual lessenings of pain, improvements in physical conditions, lessening of anxiety, and brightening of outlooks.
      Some healers treat through a laying-on of hands, with light touch or with hands held near to but not touching the body. Other healers send healing from a distance as prayer, meditation or focused intent. Healing Research presents the views of dozens of healers from many traditions and cultures.

• Annotated bibliography of 191 randomized, controlled studies of healing
      Research shows that spiritual healing may be helpful in treating heart conditions, AIDS, hypertension, muscle fatigue, arthritis, pains of many sorts, depression, anxiety and stress reactions. Studies in other species demonstrate effects on wound healing, cancer growth, growth of plants, bacteria and yeasts, and influencing cellular and DNA functions. There is more research on spiritual healing than on most of the other complementary therapies.

• Historical and modern notes on healing
      Spiritual healing has been used since the dawn of recorded history. It is still found in many unbroken traditions of shamanic healing. Western society has neglected and even forgotten healing in its explorations of biomedical medicine. Healers are now being invited to work in many conventional settings.
  
• Review of research in telepathy, clairsentience, mind influencing matter - placing healing in the context of well-researched phenomena
      Healers report they can know intuitively what illnesses are present, and rely on inner knowledge of how to give healing.
  A century of research in parapsychology has confirmed the existence of mind-to-mind communications (telepathy), mind-matter awareness (clairsentience), and effects of mind on matter (psychokinesis). This vast body of excellent research also confirms many of the reports of healers.

• Clarifications on the subjective nature of research, showing that there is no "objective truth"
      Penetrating analysis of healing research suggests that even the best research is often open to subjective interpretation. The truth may be out there, but there is no "objective truth" in medical research.
      If mind can interact with living and inanimate matter, as this book convincingly argues, then researchers can actually influence their own experiments. One healing experiment specifically examines and confirms that this can happen.

• Far-reaching implications for health care, spiritual awareness, and the healing of our environment.
      Healers are starting to collaborate with doctors and to work in hospitals. Nurses and doctors are learning to develop and use their own healing gifts. Healing can be a effective, safe and cost-effective complement to most treatment modalities.
  Healing enhances personal spiritual awareness, a deep inner knowing that you are a part of a vast, loving universe.
  Healing knows no limits. We can learn to extend healing to our ailing society and planet.

ENDORSEMENTS

"The scientific proof for non-ordinary forms of healing is one of the best-kept secrets of our time. Dr Daniel Benor has taken the wraps off this immense data base. As physicians and laypersons learn of this evidence, healing may never again be the same. The ultimate value in this information extends beyond healing, however, to touch on the Great Questions: who we are, what our essential nature is, and how we may fit into the cosmos. A majestic contribution in the best traditions of science!"
                                       --  Larry Dossey, MD
                                           Author of Healing Words

"An outstanding collection of information on healing written by a physician and scientist. Self healing, spirituality, psyche and other modalities are explored. This excellent collection is sure to open minds and help us see all healing is scientific."
                                        --  Bernie Siegel, MD
                                            Author of Love, Medicine and Miracles

". . .truly a remarkable effort. This book makes available the literature not only on healing but also on other diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. By adopting an energy paradigm, Dr. Benor brings a coherence to what would otherwise be a confusing picture."
                                        --  Bernard Grad, PhD
                                            Pioneering researcher in healing

"Dr Benor’s manuscript goes well beyond anything that I have seen in documenting the abundance of work in the psychic-healing field. I am personally delighted to have had an opportunity to review the manuscript prior to publication. Work such as this needs wide dissemination."
                                        --  C. Norman Shealy, MD, PhD
                                            Founding President,
                                            American Holistic Medical Association

"Spiritual Healing is a comprehensive overview of scientific investigations on spiritual healing. In this volume, Dr. Benor has assembled data from all over the world. His explanatory theories provide a solid base for badly needed research on these controversial phenomena. The material is clearly presented, masterfully organized and discussed in a manner that is fascinating without being sensationalized."
                                        --  Stanley Krippner, PhD
                                            Renowned expert on Shamanism

"I find the book to be an excellent resource on research in healing. Some of the studies quoted in his book I can find nowhere else. I refer to this book often. It is well-written and contains much valuable information."
                                        --  Richard Gerber, MD
                                            Author of Vibrational Medicine

"A most valuable guide to a very important subject. This book is both a fascination to read and invaluable as a work of reference."
                                        --  Rupert Sheldrake, PhD
                                  Author, researcher of morphogenetic fields
