In my other life I am Dr. Michael Jeitler, MD, and I work in Naturheilkunde im Immanuel Krankenhaus (only in German). I’m very interested in research in CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine), especially in Mind-Body Medicine. My dissertation is about meditation and chronic pain syndromes.
We have a qualitative research project in self-transcendent experiences and near-death experiences. If you have experience in qualitative research and want to participate, please contact me!
