The Future of Medicine – Dr. Lissa Rankin
Presenter: Dr. Lissa Rankin
Dr. Lissa Rankin talks about her passion for helping people, what brought her to medicine, why she became disillusioned with conventional medicine, and her search for another approach to healing. She also explains what lead her to what has become her ongoing study of spontaneous remissions and the power of belief in healing.
There is well-researched data, cited in highly-respected mainstream medical journals, demonstrating that some combination of positive belief and the nurturing care of a healthcare provider, someone we’ve given a lot of authority to, is very effective in healing. When we combine positive belief with nurturing care, which is how Lissa defines the placebo effect, something happens to the physical body that can look like a miracle, and maybe it is.
