2.  Join the Doctor-Healer Network

Physicians are invited to join a group of doctors who are exploring the uses of healing in medical practice.

Healing (as in Therapeutic Touch, Reiki, etc.) can help with many problems for which conventional medicine can as yet provide only limited relief. People with arthritis, asthma, diabetes, hypertension, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), multiple sclerosis, cancer, and other problems may be helped. Pain, stress and other symptoms may be relieved. Patients and doctors have numerous reports of the helpfulness and efficacy of healing.

Research confirms healing is effective well beyond a placebo effect. There are over 200 controlled studies demonstrating that healing can influence water, enzymes, cells in laboratory cultures, yeasts, bacteria, plants, animals, and humans. (Benor, D. Healing Research: Volume I, in press.)

Healing is well accepted by doctors in England, where healers work in doctors’ offices, and some are paid under the National Health Service. Many more doctors are referring patients to healers at the healers' clinics. Some doctors are developing their own healing gifts and may get Postgraduate Education Allowance (equivalent to CME) credits for this by attending approved workshops. Healers work regularly at hospital pain, cancer and cardiac rehabilitation centers.

In the UK Doctor-Healer Network (DHN), founded in 1988 by Daniel Benor, MD, there are healers, doctors, nurses, other health care professionals, clergy, and complementary/alternative therapists who meet every 3-4 months to discuss patients (often those who are treated by doctor-healer pairs), as well as theoretical and personal questions and demonstrations of healing methods. This provides a forum and resource for sharing information and progress in integrating healing with conventional medicine.

The DHN-NA will include doctors who are practicing healing themselves, working in conjunction with healers, or are interested in learning more about healing and research in healing. In periodic regional seminars and an email professional group we willl explore integrating healing with conventional medical care.

This group is for doctors who are already using healing in their practice. The group had its first meeting in August 2000.

Facilitator: Daniel J. Benor, M.D. is a wholistic psychiatrist. He practices psychotherapy, including elements from meditation, imagery and relaxation, psychoneuroimmunology, dream analysis, healing, EMDR Tapas Acupressure Technique, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Matrix Therapy, intuitive and spiritual awareness, transactional analysis, gestalt therapy, hypnotherapy, and other approaches. Dr. Benor has taught elements from these methods internationally for 15 years to people involved in wholistic, intuitive, and spiritual approaches to caring, health and personal development. He is the founder of The DHN in England and editor of its Newsletter. After 10 years in England he returned to work in Philadelphia and in Medford, New Jersey. Dr. Benor is the author of Healing Research, Volumes I-IV and many articles on wholistic healing and spiritual awareness. He appears internationally on radio and TV. He is a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Holistic Medicine and on the advisory boards of the journals, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, Subtle Energies (ISSSEEM), Frontier Sciences, on the Board of Directors of ISSSEEM, and the Advisory Council of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychotherapy (ACEP).

The International Remote Viewing Association (IRVA) was organized March 18, 1999, by selected scientists and practitioners meeting in conjunction with the first professional conference on Remote Viewing in  Alamogordo, New Mexico. The concluded objective was to create an organization which would provide a mechanism for evaluating the discipline called "remote viewing", encourage scientifically sound research, propose ethical standards and provide overview educational information to the public.
