Throughout history, different cultures have dealt with healing in different ways. Some paths of healing are spiritual and involve rituals, amulets and charms. Some are purely physical, such as medicines and surgery. But there is a vast array of healing techniques, both past and present, that are less easily defined: faith healing, holy relics with healing power, psychic healing and surgery, placebos, healing through the laying on of hands and even acupuncture. All of these methods have generated reported cures. But how?

This audio program is a guided tour along mankind's path in search of good health, with dramatized commentary from healers, patients and observers. Consider the facts and the legends, the difference in healing philosophy between East and West. Then evaluate for yourself the fascinating alternatives which lie within the powers of healing.
