Energy Medicine and the Multidimensional Model
If everything is energy, what constitutes the legitimate domain of energy medicine? In attempting to answer this question, I found a useful model that is shared by modern science and many ancient traditions. It accounts for the diversity in the field of energy medicine and helps to explain a vast array of energy-based phenomena.

Leanna Standish, ND, PhD, LAC, and FABNO
I am a scientist and physician with a background that is ideally suited to the investigation of ayahuasca in humans. I was first trained as a neuroscientist with a focus on psychopharmacology and limbic system functional anatomy. In the first decade of my career I studied the psychopharmacology of benzodiazepines, amphetamine, ketamine, and phencyclidine in rodent and primate behavioral models. Since then I have not only actively pursued research interests in clinical neuroscience, behavioral sciences, neuro-oncology, acupuncture, ethnopharmacology and natural products, but have also cared for patients as a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist. I have deepened both my research and clinical interests in cancer and have become board certified in naturopathic oncology, the application of natural medicines in cancer research and patient care. For the last eight years I have been using fMRI brain imaging technology to measure subtle effects of medical qi gong in both healthy subjects and brain cancer patients.
I bring a wealth of experience as a researcher to the endeavor that we now propose. As principal investigator of a Phase I dose escalation trial of a medical mushroom extract in breast cancer patients and as Co-investigator on a number of projects including a large pediatric Echinacea trial, a Phase II trial of silymarin in hepatitis C patients, and a Phase I trial of andrographis in HIV+ patients, I am experienced in all aspects of natural products clinical research with IRB- and FDA-approved study medications. As an NIH PI since 1994 and an experienced NIH center director, I have learned the skills of leading and managing large complex multi-center, multidisciplinary clinical research projects that involve pharmacology, brain imaging, botanical drug manufacturing, psychological and neurochemical measurements, and the local, state and federal agencies that oversee such research.
While ethnopharmacology is part of naturopathic medical training, I first learned about the interesting psychoactive ethnomedicine ayahuasca during ethnopharmacology field trips to the Amazon in 2000 and 2005. I have studied the ethnopharmacognosy, botany, harvest and cultivation methods of the two plant species that make up ayahuasca extracts. I have learned ayahuasca extraction methods from Amazonian herbal healers and have successfully replicated these methods under GMP.

Chaos and Disorder: Why We Need Them
The value of chaos and disorder in human life and the paradoxical unity of opposites have been repeatedly affirmed by an impressive array of individuals from various walks of life – scientists, mathematicians, physicians, nurses, psychologists, philosophers, poets, writers, musicians, artists, theologians, saints, and sinners. They tell us that chaos and disorder are as essential as harmony and coherence in a fulfilled life, and in emerging science as well.

Morphic Fields and Morphic Resonance
Morphic fields underlie the organization of proteins, cells, crystals, plants, animals, brains, and minds. They help to explain habits, memories, instincts, telepathy, and the sense of direction. They have an inherent memory and imply that many of the so-called laws of nature are more like habits. This is, of course, a controversial hypothesis.

Dawkins, Darwin, and Other Dogma: How the Tenets of Biology Are Crumbling
For the first time in modern human history, the cycle of knowledge is returning to what we knew in our distant past: we are connected to something deeper. We are not machines. Intelligent information flows through us and communicates with our environment, and this means that human survival is much more likely when we cooperate.

The Magic Ocean of Energy and Resonance

Ross’s work with the dying is on the cutting edge of this research, though his insights into the failings of America’s end-of-life culture are just as critical to bringing dignity to the dying.
