The Healer in the Lab: Studying Energy Healing and Cancer at MD Anderson
About this episode
This episode explores the groundbreaking research at MD Anderson Cancer Center on the effects of energy healing on pancreatic cancer cells.
In Episode 1, we explore the work at MD Anderson Cancer Center—one of the largest and most respected cancer research institutions in the world—where 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.
