Title: What’s Missing in Medicine: Unleashing the healing power of the subconscious mind.

Author: Charles Tramont

Publisher: Du Lac Publishing, 2016

ISBN: 9780996819527

Book review by Athanasios Komianos.

Dr Charles Tramont was a gynecologist and obstetrician for 32 years before he retired and turned into a hypnotherapist and regression therapist. He introduced a method he named Comprehensive Hypnoregression Therapy – a combination of Spirit Releasement and past-life therapy – which was practiced in Las Vegas, Nevada, until his death from Covid-19, in 2020.

To say the least I was taken by surprise when I read about his work in the latest issue of the Journal of Scientific Exploration whereas his work was presented by his widow and reviewed by … Read the rest

Book review by Athanasios Komianos

After the two excellent editions (2000 and 2013) of the Varieties of Anomalous Experiences there comes this long needed volume dealing with the utmost bizarre experiences that have been experienced out there in our psychic wilderness.

Talking about extraordinary books? This is one of them! The editor Jack Hunter has done an excellent job for bringing together the work not … Read the rest

Title: Katsugoro and other Reincarnation Cases in Japan

Author: OHKADO Masayuki

Publisher: Afterworlds Press (April 30, 2024)

ISBN: 9781786772039 (Kindle edition)

Book Review by Athanasios Komianos

I was really impressed by this wonderful book from a very bright Japanese scholar and scientist.

I had the pleasure of meeting him in person at the DOPS (Department of Perceptual Studies) at the University of Virginia back in the summer of 2013. We also had some correspondence sharing evidence on Life-between-Life experiences.

I was shocked to discover that a country like Japan had not had any serious scientific publications on the topic of reincarnation and that Ohkado was the first one to conduct a serious review of older cases and also initiate the … Read the rest

Authors: Grant Solomon, Jane Solomon.

Publisher: Campions Book (Kindle Edition)

ISBN: 9781906815240

Book Review by Athanasios Komianos

I would really love to thank the authors of this striking book, Grant and Jane Solomon, for gathering and putting together all this mass of material, filtering through it and bringing to us the distilled essence of the experiences of this extraordinary man called Chris Robinson. Most of the people who do have exceptional experiences – way out of the ordinary – have been brushed by death (i.e. Psychic Vietnam, BBC documentary). Mr. Robinson did not come near death, but actually his heart came to … Read the rest

Book review by Athanasios Komianos

Years ago, I had run into a Washigton Post article entitled: As a Psychiatrist I Diagnose Mental Illness. Also, I Help Spot Demonic Possession. I was so glad that one more psychiatrist went out in public and talked openly about the possibility of demonic possession. I knew that one article was not enough for the knowledge and experience of Dr. Gallagher. He has studied in the most prestigious American Universities and served in numerous psychiatric clinics. Proficient in the Classic Studies … Read the rest

After the book came into my hands, I left all my errands on the side and devoured it … Read the rest

An Amazing Journey into the Psychotic Mind: Breaking the Spell of the Ivory Tower   by Jerry Marzinsky & Sherry Swiney. Publisher: Lulu. Pages: 152. ISBN: 9781716919541

The man who served for 35 years in mental institutions comes with a book that cannot be left unnoticed.

He starts off with a brief but to the point history of psychiatry and the barbaric treatment of psychotic patients.  From the trepanning (drilling holes into the skull) of the middle-ages to the straight-jackets of the 19^th century. From the “hydrotherapy” to spinning chairs and puking. From force standing and fever “therapy”, to chemically induced seizures and insulin shock “therapy”. From electro-convulsive therapy … Read the rest
