David Hamilton PhD has been studying the mind-body connection and the power of thought for years, finding compelling evidence of why and how alternative therapies can and do work. In his trademark warm and conversational tone, he explains the science and spirituality behind some of today's most popular alternative practices. He explores four key aspects of healing: In his book, Hamilton discusses the many aspects of different spiritual practices and a few alternative therapies. He shares the most recent science behind why they work.

Amazing. David, thank you so much for coming on the show today. That was an amazing conversation. I love your enthusiasm for this work. It always gets me I always learn something as well every time I speak to me and it’s brilliant. I’m there’s a few areas I really want to dive deeper in with and so I appreciate your time. ThankI was aware of reiki being used in palliative care in London hospitals but was unaware of any studies being used in joint replacement surgery so I would like to look into that further I heard David R. Hamilton Ph.D. speak on a podcast and he mentioned his book called Why Woo-Woo Works. When I got the HayHouse Unlimited App, I was happy to see that the audiobook of Why Woo-Woo Works was there. I’m a huge believer in alternative therapies, so this book’s premise resonated with me big time. My Thoughts On Why Woo-Woo Works You know, what I don’t know, it’s because it’s, it’s because it sounds woowoo. We don’t look at it, we don’t accept it, because it it sounds too woowoo. And so one of my reasons for including that kind of stuff in the book is to say, well, that isn’t really woowoo. And so I had to then investigate consciousness as consciousness inside our heads. Because if it was inside our heads, then all of that say stuff is false. Right? So a true consciousness can’t be inside our heads. And there is some strong philosophical grounding. For the idea that consciousness is something fundamental to nature, it just feels like insensate ahead. And that ties in with, you know, some of the the eastern philosophies, or what we might call non duality, that there’s an infinite unbounded consciousness, and that we all enjoy. individuation is of it like colours in a rainbow. And, you know, there’s red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, individual colours in a rainbow. They’re so little people that would think of themselves as separate from each other, but they’re all part of the same Waitwait. And so the end, the East has a strong philosophical grounding in the West, we call that philosophy, idealism. But it’s really the same as the eastern non duality. So I said, S, all the cyber search is true. And the statistical evidence has shown that consciousness cannot be unsaved our heads that must be something fundamental to nature. And so I was nervous about writing that, because as a scientist, most scientists accept the mainstream position that it’s inside your head, even though there’s no proof that that’s the case. And if you ask more scientists, they’ll just say, it seems to be what people what’s accepted, but there’s no actual real proof of that idea. So I decided, even though I felt nervous about writing it, I thought, well, what you’re What can I scientists? Would I be if I wasn’t willing to say, Well, okay, the model that we use doesn’t affect the data. So we have to change the model. So I decide uncivil. This is what I think is the case I didn’t see it’s a fact that just said, given the data, this is probably this is probably true, or that or something like it has to be true. If all that psyresearch is actually true. So I explored all that idea of consciousness. Where does it come from and say in the book as well?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I never imagined when I was a research and development scientist, that I would write a book one day called why woo woo works. Because we’re doing research and development you’re developing, you know, you’re using all the mainstream tools, and you’re doing all the mainstream thing. Even though I had that interest in that other world that was running in a parallel, I always kept up for my friends, it was always something an interest they had. And I didn’t see how the two worlds could ever come together, which they are now. But so it was just always something on the side. So I just kind of almost parked for a little while.Why Woo-Woo Works proves why we shouldn't discount alternative therapies and healing modalities, and reveals the answers that you have been looking for! If you are interested in alternative therapies and want some proof that they are working or could work for you, then you will like Why Woo-Woo Works. About David: David Hamilton is a writer, columnist, speaker & kindness scientist. After completing his PhD in organic chemistry, he worked in R&D in the pharmaceutical industry, developing drugs for cardiovascular disease and cancer. Inspired by the placebo effect, and how some people’s conditions would improve because they believed a placebo was a real drug, he left the industry to write books and educate people in how they can harness their mind and emotions to improve their mental and physical health. In the years since, and even today, mum and I have had many more conversations about these and other ‘woo-woo’ subjects – many of which are covered in the book – and eventually these catalyzed a career change for me. I left the pharmaceutical industry and went on to write several books exploring the mind–body connection, self-esteem, and even the impact of kindness on mental and physical health. cuz like, people praying for your healing and wellness, isn’t gonna kill you. and there are so many other things that could and do.

There is a great deal of available research. I’ve cited quite a bit in my book, ‘ Why Woo Woo Works’. In it, I also explain why I’d love to see a closer integration between mainstream treatments and complementary practices. Dead 45 MInutes & Journeyed Through Afterlife.
