Dr. Marc Siegel explores spirituality and medicine in new book

Physician and medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel is exploring the intersection of spirituality and clinical medicine in his new book, ‘The Angels Among Us.’ The work examines how faith and human empathy may complement modern medical protocols during health crises.

Siegel notes that while medicine relies on evidence-based diagnostics and pharmaceuticals, some patients experience recoveries that exceed standard medical predictions. He suggests that spirituality can influence patient resilience and outlook without displacing established clinical methods. The book expands the concept of ‘angels’ to include medical professionals and ordinary people whose interventions provide vital support during unexplained recoveries.

Drawing on clinical experience and research, Siegel highlights cases such as US Army Staff Sgt. Spencer Milo, who saw a terminal brain tumor become benign following a period of seeking spiritual support. Siegel cites data suggesting that 70% of physicians believe in God and 55% report witnessing medical miracles in their practice.
