Can prayer heal? A physician examines more than one hundred laboratory studies to reveal the measurable power of human consciousness.
Dr. Larry Dossey traces over a hundred laboratory experiments demonstrating that prayer produces measurable changes in living systems. Controlled trials in coronary care units and studies on enzymes, bacteria, and blood cells document significant healing effects across distance.
The volume links clinical evidence with philosophical inquiry, exploring how healing intentions operate beyond the constraints of space and time.
Proving prayer to be as valid and vital a healing tool as drugs or surgery, the bestselling author of Meaning & Medicine and Recovering the Soul offers a bold integration of science and spirituality.
- Case Studies: Examines Randolph Byrd’s landmark double-blind trial of 393 cardiac patients at San Francisco General Hospital, where subjects remembered in prayer required no mechanical ventilators.
- Spiritual Healing: Details Bernard Grad’s laboratory experiments at McGill University, where focused intention accelerated the healing of surgical wounds in mice and protected saline-damaged barley seeds.
- Mind and Body: Outlines the evolution of modern medicine across three frameworks, advancing from mechanical interventions and psychosomatic biology to Era III nonlocal healing.
- Prayer & Meditation: Explores the Spindrift laboratory tests comparing targeted outcome requests with open-ended contemplation, demonstrating that nondirected prayer often produces stronger biological effects.
- Also by This Author: Prayer Is Good Medicine and Be Careful What You Pray For, You Might Just Get It.
