Larry Dossey

Larry Dossey (born 1940) is a Texas internist and author who has advocated for a blending of orthodox medicine and spiritual medicine since the 1980s. Along with a small handful of other physicians (such as Bernie Siegel), he was early in orienting his patient advocacy along lines of New Age principles, preceding the better known Deepak Chopra in that field.

Dossey's "nonlocality" approach involves sending "healing energy" (though prayer, meditation, visualization, etc) to distant patients. By his account, modern medicine can be divided into three "eras": his Era I is conventional medicine of the 19th and early 20th centuries, which he terms "Mechanical Medicine"; his Era II is later 20th-century "Mind-Body Medicine"; and his Era III is 21st century "consciousness as energy" medicine that he says links people throughout the globe.
