Energy Healing for Cancer Care? Oncologist Shares His Powerful Experience and Insights
Dr. Santosh Rao is an oncologist, professor, and researcher at Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University, as well as former President of the Society for Integrative Oncology.
He joined us for a conversation about his unique perspective as both a medical and integrative oncologist and a longtime practitioner of energy healing. Drawing on decades of personal and clinical experience with practices including meditation, Reiki, and Healing Touch, Dr. Rao explores what we know about biofield therapies, what science has yet to uncover, and how rigorous research could help bring these approaches further into mainstream cancer care.
