And the results could be showing us the way to the next frontier in healing. Phenomena: The Science and Stories of Energy Healing is a documentary-style podcast hosted by business leader and artist Ivy Ross. Join Ivy as she explores astonishing new science alongside moving human stories of healing from chronic pain, PTSD, and even cancer through ancient practices modern medicine has often dismissed.

Scientists are bringing energy healers into controlled experiments to measure what happens to pancreatic cancer cells when a biofield therapist (another term for energy healer) goes to work. What they’re finding is measurable, repeatable, and difficult to explain: biofield therapy slows the ability of cancer to spread. Not in one study. In multiple, with multiple healers, multiple cell lines, and rigorous controls.","meta_description":"In Episode 1, we explore the work at MD Anderson Cancer Center—one of the largest and most respected cancer research institutions in the world—where somet…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2934,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/phenomena-podcast-the-science-stories-of-energy-healing-7841363/episodes/the-healer-in-the-lab-studying-energy-healing-and-cancer-at-md-anderson/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/phenomena-podcast-the-science-stories-of-energy-healing-7841363/the-healer-in-the-lab-studying-energy-healing-and-cancer-at-md-anderson.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
