The Doctor and the Psychic Oct 07, 2008
By Consumer Advocate
The subject of ESP has generated much skepticism and doubt to the extent it has become very difficult for genunine scholars and scientists to properly study it in an open academic environment for fear of ridicule. This book is a plea for all people to seek, accept and to study a very real and poorly understood phenomenon. After a per chance meeting, Dr. Leon Curry and psychic Greta Alexander developed a study relationship in a mood of academic exploration. Following their studies, this book should be a great catalyst in helping to scientifically enhance and to mature a better understanding of psychic abilities, and useful applications. This well written and well documented book is about a caring physician with total integrity, top credentials, and a mind for scientific excellence. Ms Alexander obviously has a well documented list of psychic observations which are awesome.

By Dave Sheridan
A great book that documents human ability. Leon Curry M.D. handles a very controversial topic in a well documented way.

The Doctor and the Psychic Jul 17, 2008
By Garry Ritchie
Dr. Curry has written a wonderful book challenging the medical establishment to research a field about which much is written and discussed but little is scientifically studied. He believes some people have marvellous psychic abilities, and that they can help medical doctors make difficult diagnoses. This book describes a larger than life woman he came to know over many years who correctly diagnosed illnesses and amazed many with her keen insight, doing this not for profit but for the good of mankind. Curry doesn't ask you to believe on faith. He wants deep scientific studying and probing in a field most scientists shy away from.
I was a skeptic. I still am. But this book makes me wonder. It is a book containing some jaw dropping facts and it deserves to be read. Plus, it was fun to read.

Greta Alexander Sep 07, 2011
By R. Robertson
"curious reader"
Greta Alexander was introduced to me by a friend who also discovered Greta posthumously. My friend researched Ms. Alexander thoroughly for a published article that she wrote on Greta's psychic abilities in 2004. After learning about Ms. Alexander, I was interested in learning more about her. When I found this Kindle book I was thrilled.
I do believe that Ms. Alexander was certainly highly intuitive. The only part of her uncanny ability to diagnose illness I would dispute is her use of handprints as part of her diagnostic psychic arsenal. Chinese and Indian medical palmistry has been used for centuries. The author acknowledges that Greta was very well read and had indeed had learned palmistry from a book. It is a well known fact that handprints have been used as a diagnostic tool with great accuracy by Ayurvedic medical practitioners for hundreds of years, and these handprints were and still are made exactly as Ms. Alexander made them. This just seems like too much of a coincidence. I would suggest that the reason Ms. Alexander could teach this handprint technique to doctors to use might have been because this was already a time tested tool that could be easily learned without the need for the student to be psychic.
Was Greta Alexander a psychic or, as Carolyn refers to herself, a medical intuitive? It would seem from the data complied in this book that she was a medical intuitive. Her use of handprints may have been to support her own intuited diagnosis of other's illnesses.
The book is technically well written, and serves to document Ms. Alexander's intuitive abilities. I doubt this would be of much interest to the general public, but rather primarily to those who have "heard" about Greta Alexander.
