A Harvard psychiatrist reveals the keys behind so-called medical miracles… Tumors that melt like ice, people with paralyzed limbs who walk again, terminally ill people who not only survive but get better and flourish against all odds… In science are isolated cases, but supposedly impossible cures, those that medicine calls "spontaneous remissions", are much more frequent than official science suggests and have skyrocketed over the last century. Dr. Jeffrey Rediger, a renowned psychiatrist, details the patterns of behavior and thought that characterize these apparently miraculous healings and proposes a new medical model based on "four pillars" associated with healing. A pioneering proposal, with a clear scientific vocation, which is committed to a new paradigm to cure and prevent disease.
