Spiritual healing can beneficially be added to the treatment of patients with many problems for which conventional medicine can as yet provide only limited relief.  People with diseases such as arthritis, asthma, ME, multiple sclerosis, cancer and many more may be helped.  Patients and doctors have numerous testimonials to the efficacy of healing.

Research demonstrates that healing can bring about changes in water, enzymes, cells in laboratory cultures, yeasts, bacteria, plants, animals and humans.  In a review of 131 controlled studies of healing more than half demonstrated significant effects.  (Complementary Medical Research 1990, 4[3], 9-33, available through the newsletter).

In the Doctor-Healer Network there are healers, doctors and other health care professionals who meet every three or four months to discuss patients (often those who are treated by doctor-healer pairs), as well as theoretical and personal questions and demonstrations of healing methods.  This provides a forum and resource for sharing information and progress in integrating healing with conventional medicine.

There are five DHN regional groups in England: London/Rustington/Sevenoaks; The Chilterns; Yorkshire; Exeter; and Bath/Bristol. There are now four G.P. surgeries with healers paid under the NHS.  Many more doctors are referring patients to healers at the healers' treatment rooms. Some doctors are developing their own healing gifts. Two hospital pain centres and two hospital cancer centres have healers working there regularly.

The DHN Newsletter shares the experiences of healers and doctors between DHN groups and with a wider audience.
