Healers and Healing: Amazing Cases from the World's Best-known Healers Book

Throughout history we have been fascinated by individuals who seem to have the healing touch, and are able to diagnose and cure illness. Whether it be physic surgery or religious miracles, the subject is as intriguing and, indeed, emotive as it ever was. In fact, in these days where more and more people are turning to alternative remedies to complement traditional medical practices, there is now possibly an even greater curiosity about healing and healers than ever before. In his fascinating and detailed study of healing in the past and present, Roy Stemman--a specialist in the field of the paranormal--looks closely at the history and development of different forms of healing whilst putting them into a thoroughly modern perspective. From the laying-on-of-hands, the power of prayer and miracles to the work of mediums, hypnosis and reiki, just about every kind of healing is covered in depth, with fine examples and anecdotal evidence of each of them in practice. There can be little doubt that there is much more to the power of healing than a course of antibiotics, and Healers and Healing does not shy away from providing a few gruesome details to prove its point, drawing as it does on amazing, often incredibly dramatic, cases of healing from around the world. But the main strength of this book is that it encourages the reader to keep the mind wide open and to take on board the fact that there are some things that, even though they defy logic, are no less real. --Susan HarrisonRead More
