Spirits Can Help God Heal Us

A native of Canada, Rev. Dr. Douglas E. Busby originally chose medicine over theology for his career. He received his M.D. (cum laude) and M.Sc. (in biophysics) from the University of Western Ontario, and moved to the United States to join its space program. He became an information analyst at the Lovelace Foundation, writing on medical problems from space operations, and a resident in aerospace medicine at the Ohio State University, enabling him to become a board-certified specialist in aerospace medicine. Thereafter, he held key positions in aviation and preventive medicine in Continental Airlines, Transport Canada, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Eventually, Dr. Busby turned to his second career choice, receiving an M.Div. from the Chicago Theological Seminary and serving in several churches as an intentional interim (transitional) minister. Meanwhile, he advanced his theological education, receiving a D.Min. and a Ph.D. (in theological studies) from the Graduate Theological Foundation. Dr. Busby has had a life-long interest in spiritual healing, which for the past 17 years has included personal study of the work of John of God in spiritual healing. Currently, he preaches, lectures, and writes on and provides support for spiritual healing. He and his wife, Christina R. Dougherty, an energy medicine practitioner, live in Valparaiso, Indiana.
