NEW PUBLICATION IN NOETIC MEDICINE
Noetic Medicine Institute (NMI) is happy to announce our first groundbreaking publication in the prestigious peer-reviewed, open-access journal Frontiers in Psychiatry.

In so doing, it demonstrates the profound influence of ideas on health and healing; and it lays the groundwork for our future studies (now underway). We invite you to read and enjoy this seminal work:
