The Reality of ESP: A Physicist's Proof of Psychic Abilities (2012)
by Dr. Russell Targ, PhD
"Dr. Targ became primarily well known for his research into remote viewing and psychic phenomena for the US Military during the 1970's, 80's and 90's and he remains, to this day, as one of the world leaders in psychic research. A number of different methodologies and projects have been tried by Dr. Targ, but, because of the subjective nature of the work, he has encountered some resistance in his acceptance by the mainstream scientific community, like many others of his faculty. As we begin to establish the basis of reference for the field of such study, Dr. Targ remains a vocal advocate of the existence of remote viewing work, which makes his pioneering research worth further investigation."

The 4th Phase of Water (2015)
by Dr. Gerald Pollack, PhD
"In this publishing of his work, Dr. Pollack examines how water can take a gelatinous form that has the molecular composition of H3O2, a state in which water splits up its positive and negative charges; And when water does this it contains potential energy with implications to be discovered. The discoveries of Dr. Pollack may serve as a catalyst to pioneer our understanding the relationship between light and water in organic chemical and quantum biological reactions."
This link is to a fantastic 15-minute TED talk where Dr. Pollack lays out, in very simplistic and understandable terms, how water responds to light and can even hold a negative charge which can have profound benefits to our physical health:

Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation (1966)
and
Where Reincarnation and Biology Intersect (1997)
by Dr. Ian Stevenson, PhD
"The late Dr. Stevenson worked at the University of Virgina School of Medicine right up until his death in 2007, where he was the founder and director of the university's Division of Perceptual Studies. Over his 40 year career, Dr. Stevenson investigated some 3,000 cases of inexplicable illnesses, phobias/philias, misplaced memories and physical traits that do not seem to be able to be explained from environmental response or genetic heredity of the individual. Dr. Stevenson postulated that a 3rd influencing factor, such as a soul transferal process, may transfer information from one body to the next, and he published some 16 books on his findings."
...Because Dr. Stevenson is now passed away, some of the video from his lectures are not of the best video quality, but his research continues to this day. The first link is to a 30-minute lecture:

The study investigated whether people with chronic pain conditions showed improvements in pain, emotional factors, and overall health measures following 8 weekly distance BodyTalk treatments using the on-line Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). The study evaluated 36 subjects, randomized into a treatment (N=19) and a control group (N=17) using a single-blinded design in Phase I, followed by a crossover Phase II where the control subjects were treated.

Quantum Integrative Medicine: A New Paradigm for Health, Disease Prevention and Healing (2023)
by Dr. Amit Goswami PhD and Dr. Valentina Onisor MD
"This guide to Integrative Medicine, based on quantum science, combines studies in consciousness, with alternative systems of healing such as Ayurveda and Yoga to produce a new science of health which sees disease as a health disorder. Required reading for health professionals and anyone looking for a deeper understanding of wellness.
Inspired by the Dalai Lama to apply the integrative ideas of quantum science to practical everyday problems in people’s lives, famed physicist Amit Goswami began working in 1999 in the field of health and healing. His first task was to use the new quantum metaphysics to provide a basic science for the systems of alternative medicine and thus begin a tentative integrative medicine. This was accomplished in The Quantum Doctor, first published in 2004.
What was still lacking was a unified theory of health leading to a new science of heath which would treat disease as a health disorder. Much more expertise in specifics was needed for such a project. In 2016, Goswami partnered with Valentina Onisor, MD, trained in both allopathic and most systems of alternative medicine as well including Ayurveda, yoga, naturopathy, aromatherapy, and homeopathy. This book is the culmination of their efforts to date. It is intended for both laypeople and health professionals.
