or more than two decades,
C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.,
founder of the American Holistic
Medical Association, has been investigat-
ing claims of extraordinary healing
through Divine intervention. Here, in
Sacred Healing, Dr. Shealy unveils the
mystery and offers readers a prescription
for health.
“Sacred healing”—the life-giving power
of a higher energy source—can cure
seemingly incurable diseases when con-
ventional medical procedures fail. But
why? Dr. Shealy’s quest for an answer to
this question took him to the Philippines,
where he and a team of experts watched
psychic surgeons use only their hands to
perform complex operations, and to the
Ukraine, where he worked with physi-
cians who had cured thousands of
patients of everything from diabetes to
cancer.
In addition, Dr. Shealy tested the abilities
of renowned sacred healers. In clinically
controlled settings, he conducted a series
of scientific trials using sophisticated
medical equipment to measure the effects
these healers had on patients—even at a
distance. He also documented more than
one hundred cases of terminally or chron-
ically ill patients who were miraculously
cured after modern Western medicine had
given up on them.
During the course of his investigations,
Dr. Shealy came to the realization that all
healing ultimately comes from a Divine
Source, and all illness stems from an
imbalance or sickness in the spirit of the
individual patient. He concludes that we
all have the power to heal ourselves. We
all have the potential to be sacred healers.
