I don't know where to start so I'll begin with the Conclusion......It really hit the mark for me!! Nailed it! The "Appendix", a brilliant explanation of it "all", not only as it pertains to the ending, but an incredible journey that both Dr Turner and these remarkable people which he's had the opportunity to work with including, patients, physicians and friends along the way and all it encompasses. His very gentle and scientific explanation regarding the anatomy of the brain, spiritual approaches to healing and understanding of metaphysics helped me to understand the brains physical make up and how he begins to tie our conscious and its multilayered existence within us all. An Incredible book!

Dr Turner presents a very scientific, spiritual and metaphysical explanation as he begins to tie it to what could be a "Script" that has been written for us all with an "infinite window" of opportunity through the "Power of Choice" to alter the very path of not only our existence but everyone we touch if we are "truly dialed into the moment" and on our game! A must read!

I can say that I met Dr. Turner in 1987, after a very serious car accident in Hilo Hawaii. My impressions then were that he was a highly intuitive person, with a big soul of compassion, curiosity and mystery. When he wrote his book, I thought it would be interesting to read...and to my surprise, I learned of his accomplishments...he is also very humble. This book, Medicine, Miracles, and Manifestations is a documentation of his particular journey of exploration into the realms of living, something that more and more of us are awakening to. It is a self-awareness journey we all will take, at some point in time. This is a book that grabs one, mentally and emotionally, and is difficult to put down! And this is a book to encourage others to travel the path of the heart, and discover the magic, power, and profoundness of our own lives.

Medicine, Miracles, and Manifestations: A Doctor's Journey Through the Worlds of Divine Intervention, Near-death Experiences, and Universal Energy

Dr. Turner does a remarkable job of sharing and relating his true-life experiences with divine intervention, universal energy and the paranomal. His medical background as a brain surgeon and subsequent research into alternative modalities has provided him the insights and exposures necessary to understand and relay these concepts quite well. Whereas this writing is not a thorough technical treatise on such constructs, it provides in layman's terms many of the surgeon's views and discoveries of what many people have yet to accept. A must read...

The "fantastic journey" of a neurological surgeon is chronicled in Medicine, Miracles, and Manifestations. Dr. John Turner, trained in the "cut-'em-up" ways of western surgery, finds new, spiritual paths to healing after re-establishing his practice in Hilo, Hawaii. His passion for metaphysics leads him along of path of alternative and complementary methods in treating the most serious of brain disorders. This is an interesting, even compelling narrative, both well written and nicely paced. The poignant story of Mrs. Alvarez in the chapter, "The Angel in the Light," moved this reader to tears. I highly recommend this ultimate "East meets West" saga.

This book should be a part of all medical students education- encouraging this type of thinking in medical schools would make all the difference in all of our lives. Thank you Dr Turner for being bold and persistant in your quest for the truth.

Dr. John Turner has done us all a service by examining the subtle forces behind healing, as seen from his perspective as a brain surgeon. This book opens up a wonderful new world of possibilities that go far beyond the traditional. There's hope anew for those who are at the end of the conventional range of possibilities. I was really riveted...just couldn't put this one down!

Science has always lagged behind ultimate reality, and the prevailing scientific fundamentalists have imposed punitive sanctions upon those who dare venture outside the narrow parameters of their fundamentalism, but there have always been men and women of courage and vision among scientists, those who are willing to risk ridicule and rejection so that science can move closer to ultimate truth. Dr. John L. Turner, the author of this book, appears to be one of these courageous individuals and his book is very much welcomed.

A neurosurgeon, Turner reports on some of his very interesting medical cases, including one in which a malignant brain tumor disappeared after seven Buddhists monks intervened. "I couldn't believe my eyes! There was no trace of the lesion that had glared menacingly from the screen before and after the surgery," Turner writes. In another case - brain surgery in which Turner seemed to have exhausted all options - he decided to try prayer. "This case taught me that there is a higher power," Turner explains his decision to continue pursuing his journey.

Turner tells of his experiments with astral projection, remote viewing, and meditative chanting. By chanting, he found that he could disassociate his mind from his body and become aware of remote events. Then he discovered Jorei, a form of healing energy channeled from the spirit world pioneered by Mokichi Okada of Japan. Initially, Turner found Jorei "a difficult pill to swallow," but the more he studied and observed it, the more he began to realize that there was something to it. "I had no idea that I was about to follow a meandering pathway that would manifest dramatic results with alternative methods of healing and the use of universal energy," he writes.

After further training in Jorei, Turner began to experience first hand the positive results that can come from tapping into the universal energy. As might be expected, Turner had materialistic colleagues who smirked, sneered, and scoffed at his newfound beliefs in a spiritual world and energy healing. Undaunted, Turner pushed on and with additional successes further embraced the blending of Eastern and Western healing methods. "We are in contact with the universal force before birth, after birth, and beyond death of the physical body," he concludes, adding that it is not a matter of faith but of waking up to the spiritual world.

Based on what he has learned so far, Turner says he is reasonably certain we live on in a never-ending universe. But one of his goals now is to find ways in which complimentary medicine, or energy medicine, might contribute to the quality of this lifetime. "We need to better understand," he offers, "that we are one with that energy and one with all things."

In my never ending research to find the answers to my own journey of life as my visions continue to unfold. Dr. Turner has confirmed several of my theories on NDE, LAD, reincarnation, astral traveling and the divine enlightenment of the superior almighty in how he teaches us all. I was referred to Dr. Turner by Jane Katra, PH.D and Russell Targ the authors of Miracles of Mind, however, I've been informed Dr. Turner has retired from his former Hilo Hospital position for some time. I hope to meet him one day and express my appreciation for his efforts, research and professional medical talents as he has graced our island over the many years with his aloha. I fully enjoyed his message of sharing with all of us.

My Special Thanks

G'day,

My friendship with Dr. John Turner over the past several years has been quite a journey. I first read the raw manuscript for Medicine, Miracles and Manifestations a few years ago, and have been telling its powerful real life stories at my lectures ever since. A great read. I particularly love the story of 'Face' which always brings a lump to my throat and a few tears to my eyes. The journey of 'Face' begins in violent sadness at the business end of a .45, moving from dark hopelessness into the realm of miracles, through brain splattered paper towels and gloves and on into the light of absolutely miraculous 'no way!' recovery. Everyone should read this book. Medicine, Miracles and Manifestations is nourishment for your soul. Highly recommended. Robert Bruce:- [...]

I expected this book to be based on a lot more than just a few case studies. I would have liked to hear more about his patients; more than just the handful that he mentions. I thought Dr. Turner came off slightly arrogant. Most of the book is about him. He chronicles his own spiritual journey. On the upside this doctor goes above and beyond to heal his patients. He offers good information on a variety of different alternative healing methods.
