Spiritual Healing Research

University of Birmingham (2016) – independent evidence from the medical profession that spiritual healing works

The University of Birmingham, along with Healer Sandy Edwards and a team of spiritual healers, contributed to a two year scientifically rigorous study on the effects of Spiritual Healing.  This study was the first of its kind with over 167 participants and was made possible by a £200k lottery grant.  It focused on helping patients who experienced Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.  The study concluded that:

• Patients gained clinically significant improvements to their quality of life.
• Symptoms were alleviated.
• No patients reported any adverse effect.
• Some symptoms were maintained to week 24 of the study. The extent of improvement was deemed by researchers to be greater than any placebo effect.
• The high level of recruitment of patients achieved in a short timescale suggests that patients are keen to have healing, if offered within an NHS setting.

Furthermore the report’s conclusion states:

• Healing is the most universally usable therapy to adopt because:
  • the client does not need to be touched in any way
  • the patient can be in any physical condition, even unconscious or dying
  • healing can be administered in a private or pubic area whether noisy or quiet
  • healing can be administered on hospital wards, in intensive care units, outpatient departments or doctors’ surgeries.
