About the Phenomena Podcast
Join our hosts as they investigate the incredible science and moving stories of energy healing, long at the margins of public health, but increasingly showing promise for everything from chronic pain to cancer.Â
EPISODE ONE
“The Healer in the Lab | Studying Energy Healing and Cancer at MD Anderson”
At MD Anderson Cancer Center—one of the largest and most respected cancer research institutions in the world—something remarkable is happening in the laboratory. Scientists are bringing energy healers into controlled experiments to measure what happens to pancreatic cancer cells when a biofield therapist (another term for energy healer) goes to work. What they're finding is measurable, repeatable, and difficult to explain: biofield therapy slows the ability of cancer to spread. Not in one study. In multiple, with multiple healers, multiple cell lines, and rigorous controls.
