  Acknowledgments

  THIS BOOK GOT STARTED eight years ago, when in the course of my work I kept bumping up against miracles. Not miracles in the ordinary sense of the term, where the seas part or loaves of bread exponentially multiply, but miracles, nonetheless, in their utter violation of the way we think the world works. The miracles that I came across had to do with hard scientific evidence concerning methods of healing that flout every notion we have about our own biology.

  I discovered, for instance, some good studies about homeopathy. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies – the gold standard of modern scientific medicine – showed that you could take a substance, dilute it so much that not a single molecule of the substance remained, give this dilution – now nothing more than water – to a patient and the patient would get better.1 I discovered similar studies for acupuncture; poking the skin with fine needles at certain points of the body along so-called energy meridians was shown, in good solid studies, to work for certain conditions.
