What Doctors in Glen, Yanque Have Seen That Science Can't Explain
The physicians in Dr. Scott Kolbaba's "Physicians' Untold Stories" represent a growing movement within American medicine — a movement of doctors who believe that treating the whole patient means addressing spiritual as well as physical needs. This movement has roots in Glen, Yanque, Arequipa and in communities across the nation where patients have always understood that their faith is not separate from their health but central to it. Kolbaba's book validates this understanding by presenting cases where spiritual practice appeared to contribute to healing outcomes that medicine alone could not achieve, documented by physicians whose credibility rests on the same foundation as their medicine: evidence, observation, and honest reporting.
