The author has given readers some great food for thought on healing in a time when medical costs are rising and many individuals cannot afford healthcare. Through scientific methods he has proven that people can heal themselves with spiritual healing, meditation and laying of hands. If you were skeptical of this type of healing prior to reading this book- it will make you think twice about your opinion.

Within the five chapters of this book, Dr. Benor has addressed issues such as: a summary of healing approaches, actual information from healers, as well as numerous studies on healing actions for animals, yeast infections and the immune system; and, he provides several thoughts on future research.

In one chapter, the author discusses risks vs. benefits of healing. He does say, “…we must be cautious with healing as we would with any other untested modality in conventional medical practice.” Prior to anyone using this type of healing, it is recommended that the individual discuss it with his/her doctor. Dr. Benor also states that even though Western medicine is a leader in the medical field, we forget that we are a very diverse culture and many individuals have different concepts on how to address their medical issues.

In this one volume, Dr. Daniel J. Benor, MD, has provided a wealth of information and has backed up his information with in-depth research. “Spiritual Healing” is a book the reader will want to keep in their library.
