"From New York Times bestselling author Dr. Lissa Rankin comes a groundbreaking guide offering hope for healing when all else has failed"--,Provided by publisher.

"How does faith healing work -- or does it? What's behind the phenomenon of spontaneous remission -- and is this something we can influence? Can we make ourselves miracle-prone? Certain that if she looked hard enough she would find th answers, Dr. Lissa Rankin embarked on a decade-long journey to explore these questions and more. In this discerning guide to the search for healing miracles when all else has failed, you'll follow Dr. Rankin around the world to meet healers gifted and flawed. You'll go on pilgrimage to sacred sites, investigate the science of healing, and learn how to stay safe when seeking a healer. You'll receive the wisdom offered by Indigenous cultures for whom healing begins with our sacred connection to Mother Earth, and dive deep into the cutting-edge trauma research that is igniting a medical revolution. Rich with practices and protocols that Dr. Rankin has found particularly effective, [this book] delivers a thoughtful, grounded exploration of questions around how we heal -- and a path of hope for those in need." -- Back cover.
