What people of all advanced civilizations knew- what famous doctors (Paracelsus- Hahnemann etc.) used and what science confirmed through some fundamental discoveriesIn this lecture you will learn about the teaching of Bruno Groening (1906 - 1959). His message was simple: there is a higher power that is the basis of all living things and it can heal! He showed how this energy that he referred to as 'Heilstrom' could be absorbed into the body- and through his teachings many people were cured- even from diseases that were considered incurable.Healings occur today as back then- and the words of Bruno Groening: 'There is no incurable- God is the greatest physician-' has been proven and documented within the Medical Scientific Group - a world-wide forum of independent medical doctors- psychologists and health care professionals within the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends.To learn more- attend one of our free online lectures.
