A medical doctor and Harvard faculty member explores commonalities among cases of those rare medical "miracles"âterminal patients who find themselves suddenly healed after experiments with alternative medicine or lifestyle changes.
What The Reviewers Say
This compelling book is the result of 17 years spent tracking these people down and verifying their stories.
Dr. Rediger is at his best when he voices the reasons we should be skeptical about outrageous scientific claims, and when he reviews some of the fascinating history of medical advances.
Here, Rediger adds to spontaneous healing research by presenting case studies of terminal patients, and includes engaging lessons about pathophysiology and the history of medicine. By using analogies that enhance understanding for non-clinicians, readers learn about more than just patients experiencing illness. As a leading voice challenging current healthcare systems and treatment models, Rediger makes a convincing case to study spontaneous remissions.
Fascinating.
