As a society, we push aside stories of remarkable recovery which
don't fit our paradigm of one cause, one cure. In the history of
medicine, we have almost never used the tools of rigorous science
to investigate remarkable recoveries from incurable illnesses. But,
Dr Jeff Rediger, a world-leading Harvard medic, psychiatrist and
theologian, has spent the last fifteen years studying thousands of
individuals from around the world and examining the stories behind
these extraordinary cases of spontaneous remission. From retiree
Claire, diagnosed with a violent form of pancreatic cancer and
given weeks to live, to 23-year-old Matt, given a 2 per cent chance
of surviving a lethal brain tumour. Both rejected chemotherapy and
radiation, and went home to try to prepare themselves for
acceptance and a peaceful death. Both are alive over a decade
later, their bodies absent of all tumours. Dr Rediger doesn't
classify people like Claire or Matt as 'flukes' or 'outliers' but
has analysed what they - and thousands of others - have done to
cure themselves and reveals the common denominators of people who
have beaten the odds, unlocking the secrets behind the mind-body
connection and discovering the immense power of the immune system.
