GALORE Magazine Interview (Germany)
Dr Thomas Bolte interviewed by GALORE Magazine , released September 30, 2009. The interview is in German. (excerpt below)
Q: "Was lässt sich also über den Bezug zwischen Kopf, Körper und Geist sagen?" Bolte: "Es gibt Studien, die zeigen, dass selbst Gebete bei der Heilung helfen können. Und das kann nicht durch einen Placebo-Effekt erklärt werden. Ich bete immer für meine Patienten. Ich denke einfach, es wird ihnen bestimmt nicht schaden. Vielleicht bewirkt es überhaupt nichts, aber es kostet niemanden etwas. Und die Statistiken fielen besser aus als diejenigen aus Studien zu Impfungen. Trotzdem machen wir letztere zur Pflicht."
Q: "What is the relationship between mind, body and spirit?" Bolte: "There are studies which show that prayer helps the healing process and the results cannot be solely attributed to placebo effect. I always pray for my patients. I just think it will certainly not harm them and even if it doesn't help at all, there was still no harm done. (So I've satisfied my obligation to "primum non nocere" or "first, do no harm.") Statistically the prayer studies showed better results than the original studies on vaccinations. Nevertheless, we make the latter a duty."
