Biofields, Placebo, and Ritual - Dr. Richard Hammerschlag
The DemystifySci Podcast - Podcast készítő DemystifySci
Dr. Richard Hammerschlag is a retired professor of Eastern medicine who spent his career studying acupuncture and other biofield therapies. We speak with him about the search for mechanism in unconventional medicine, the delicate balance of the spiritual and the physical, conditioning the mind for openness to experience, and the ritualistic nature of health and wellness.
