Dr. Pearsall has experienced a total recovery from Stage IV bone cancer, claiming it a medical miracle. Many of his colleagues considered his recovery a mere statistical fluke and refused to accept this account of how "natural laws are sometimes suspended" and miracles happen. Paul Pearsall, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psycho-neuroimmunologist, a specialist in the study of the healing mind. He holds a Ph.D. in both clinical and educational psychology.
