Caryle Hirshberg and VoiceAmerica Show Host Grace Gawler Discuss Why People Heal on “Navigating the Cancer Maze”



VoiceAmerica and WorldTalk internet Radio Network, announces that nationally acclaimed author and researcher Caryle Hirshberg joined Grace Gawler, host of “Navigating the Cancer Maze” radio program on the VoiceAmerica Health and Wellness Channel on Friday, February 22.

“Spontaneous Remission” launched Caryle Hirshberg into the cancer spotlight when it was published in 1993 by the institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). The book filled a gap in research, as before that time there was no standard reference for the field of spontaneous remission. Then, in 1994 “Remarkable Recovery was published”: a book of stories about patient unexplained recoveries. Hirshberg’s well researched works of science not only captivated cancer patients worldwide but they marked a beginning of an almost cult-like fascination with healing in the public arena.

Caryle Hirshberg, Project Manager at IONS and the late Brendan O’Regan, Vice President of Research at IONS joined forces to create a project that had never been researched before. So was born “The Remission Project” at IONS, California. The task was enormous; to catalogue the world’s medical literature on the subject. This resulted in an assembly of the largest database of medically reported cases of spontaneous remission in the world, with more than 3,500 references from more than 800 journals in 20 different languages.

Caryle Hirshberg discusses her role in this formative period in American healing history with Grace Gawler. The theme is why people heal from diseases that were deemed incurable. This was a courageous topic to pursue; to study the seemingly miraculous while keeping science and well-researched data on track. This was the first time that a research group not only gathered medical data from journals worldwide, but they dared to look at why people recovered and what we might learn from their turnaround to stay well. The book was controversial, inspiring and as well-gained attack from some medical corners, yet the material they researched was from medical journals. Like TV’s past science hero, Professor Julius Sumner Miller; Hirshberg and O’Regan were brave enough to ask the fundamental scientific question; ‘Why is it so?’

So this enquiring and passionate woman set about her life’s work to understand the science and art of healing. She has been involved with beneficial plant research and the Center for Integrative Medicine which researches globally, promoting pharmacological research and intelligent scientific approaches to studying into indigenous and traditional remedies. Caryle was senior Researcher for the six part documentary “The Heart of Healing’ which became a signature series for investigation into the mystery of why people heal. The program, a six-hour television documentary aired on Turner Broadcasting System and was hosted by Jane Seymour. The program sparked the development of hundreds of IONS “community groups” throughout the U.S. and worldwide.

In an extraordinary career, Caryle Hirshberg has been modern day pioneer whose work has shaped minds and opened new ways of thinking about why people heal. She has been involved in researching remission, neurochemistry, pharmacology, cancer biochemistry and cardiology. She has lectured widely on the subject of spontaneous remissions. Today she is private practice
