Using Thought Field Therapy (TFT) to support and complement a medical treatment for cancer: A case history

Callahan, J. · The International Journal of Healing and Caring · 2004

Case series👥 1 participantsPreliminary✓ Source-checked📍 United States
In plain English. A single case report describes a woman with advanced lymphoma who used Thought Field Therapy alongside her medical cancer treatment and was cancer-free 18 months later. As a single case study, this cannot show that TFT contributed to the cancer outcome versus the medical treatment itself.
