"Psychic surgery"
After study of the literature and other available information, the American
Cancer Society has found no evidence that "psychic surgery" results in
objective benefit in the treatment of any medical condition. Lacking such
evidence, the American Cancer Society strongly urges individuals who are
ill not to seek treatment by psychic surgery. The following is a review and
summary of material on "psychic surgery" in the American Cancer Society
files as of May 31, 1989. Reference to that material by the Society does
not imply agreement with its contents.
