Summary: Excellent Scientific Overview of Energy Medicine
Comment: James Oschman's compelling book, ENERGY MEDICINE, provides an excellent scientific overview of the healing power of subtle energy fields. As scientists increasingly recognize how living organisms consist of dynamic energy systems based on familiar kinds of physical field phenomena, we can all begin to see that "vibrational therapies are not magic or superstition: they are based on biology, chemistry, and physics."
Oschman guides the reader through a delightful series of beautifully-illustrated chapters that present well-organized pieces of a bridge between scientific information and complementary medicine. While western medical practioners have long been aware that rapid and spontaneous remissions occur for even the most potent cancers and the most catastrophic injuries, they have been slower to establish and evaluate workable explanations for how such healing can occur. ENERGY MEDICINE thoroughly examines the most current scientific theories and experimental findings to describe how a wide variety of complementary medical treatments operate within the realm of what we know to be true.
I hope that ENERGY MEDICINE will be required reading in schools the world over, because it presents scientific research without side-stepping around the most interesting aspects of healing (such as spontaneous remissions). When you read ENERGY MEDICINE, you'll learn how: our cells and tissues are crystalline molecular arrays that act as coherent antennas, humans respond to the Schumann oscillations around the Earth, a mechanism for entrainment operates between the Earth and humans, and superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) can be used to detect biomagnetic fields around the human body. You'll also discover a wealth of fascinating facts, such as how the ventricle of the heart is formed of a single band of muscle wrapped in a double-helix in such a way that the heart's rhythmic beatings resonate with the more rapid oscillations of DNA.
ENERGY MEDICINE is a must for anyone who desires a more complete understanding of the scientific basis for complementary and alternative medicine.

Summary: A flawed attempt
Comment: The book attempts to bridge the gap between intuitive approaches to healing based on various concepts of energy and scientific understanding. It paints a marvelous picture of the intricate structure of the human body starting from the internal structure of the cell. There are many things happening in that structure that we have little or no understanding of. Electromagnetic fields play a role in healing bones and have many other effects yet to be discovered. However showing that various explanations are possible or consistent with our current understanding is a long way from providing evidence to support them. I applaud the effort to connect these intuitive healing methods to our scientific understanding. It is difficult to give appropriate weight to each approach. The book fails to give adequate weight to our scientific understanding of what is required to provide evidence that an approach is medically effective.
There is no mention in the book of the placebo effect and this is a great illustration of this problem. If patients believe a treatment is effective than a significant percentage of them will improve compared to a similar group not treated no matter what the treatment actually does. This is the clearest example we have of the extraordinary power of the mind and body to heal itself. For that reason alone it deserves mention. Because of the Placebo effect, anecdotal evidence means little or nothing in establishing the objective efficacy of a treatment. Failure to mention this difficulty and describe the problem it presents in evaluating many of the claims is a serious flaw that will mislead unsophisticated readers.

Summary: The communicating whole
Comment: Oschman did something quite exceptional in this book; he expressed my understanding of the way living things work, but went beyond my dark intuitive sense of the significance of the whole, to a crisp,intellectual, yet poetic, expression of the parts in relation to that whole
