Science Proves Psychic Healing #2

The use of plants as detectors already has been tested.
Dr. Bernard Grad at McGill University in Canada had
demonstrated that a healer can increase the growth of plants.
Sister Justa Smith, a nun who is a noted biochemist at
Buffalo, New York, had found that the same healer was able
to influence the growth of enzymes.
At the Los Angeles meeting Dr. Miller reviewed a
1965 experiment in which Olga and Ambrose Worrall in
Baltimore succeeded in producing an 840 percent increase
in the growth of rye grass in the Atlanta laboratory 600
miles away. Since then polygraph expert Cleve Backster and
experimenter Marcel Vogel have demonstrated that thought
can produce changes in the electrical potential of plant
leaves. So at Agnes Scott College Silva chloride electrodes
were attached to a leaf of a philodendron plant. These were
connected to a strip chart recorder through pre-amp and
amplifier systems. An oscillating, low-amplitude electrical
signal was registered. When Dr. Worrall place her hands four
inches from the plant the amplitude increased markedly. To
prove this was not a standard capacitance reaction, with
the healer acting as a kind of antenna, other researchers
tried to produce the same results. They managed only
a slight effect.
With another healer, working at a distance of eight feet,
the plant potential at first decreased but thereafter marked
increases in amplitude were noted.
Next the researchers sought to establish the brain
wave frequency most efficient for healing energies. Not
surprisingly, they found the healers were in the alpha
rhythm, described by Dr. Miller as the deep meditative state
(eight to 13 cycles per second) while transmitting healing
energies to test subjects.
During biofeedback experiments Dr. Worrall’s normal
state of consciousness varied from 14 to 25 cycles per
second; this is the beta state, typical for most persons while
awake. But during the laying-on-of-hands the alpha state was
achieved with extreme rapidity-- in eight seconds--whereas
most people take from five to 20 minutes to reach this
meditative state.
Another healer was found to operate in both the alpha
and theta ranges, or from a relaxed pre-sleep frequency
into a light sleep state (three to seven cycles per second).
Below three cycles per second is regarded as a deep sleep
or delta state.
One objective of the research was to discover the precise
mechanism of spiritual mental healing. The scientists now
decided they had a clue: on the boundary between the
conscious and unconscious state, when distracting sense
stimuli are at a minimum, it is possible to give direction to
the subjective-subconscious mind with minimal interference

“The results of the experiments confirm this concept,”
reported Dr. Miller, “and they indicate that the alpha state
of consciousness is the most effective state for mental
healing.”
The research team then attempted to develop a method
for measuring healing energies. First they experimented
with copper salt solutions. After making sure that important
variables were controlled--such as the volume of the solution,
the relative humidity of the environment (50 percent),
temperature and source of water--the scientists asked Dr.
Worrall to place her hands around a container of the solution.
Another untreated solution was used as a control.
In two days both solutions crystallized but the treated
specimen turned from jade green to blue, whereas the control
crystals remained green. Moreover, the treated solution
yielded a coarser grained crystalline structure than the
control solution.
Scores of tests led to the conclusion that copper
salt solutions are reliable indicators of the presence of
energies. Thereafter microscopic examination of the crystals
convinced Dr. Miller that the differences--induced by the
healer--were due to changes in the properties of the water.
(This tended to confirm Dr. Grad’s experimental results at
McGill where seed and plant growth at first were stimulated
by the proximity of the healer’s hands but later by “treated”
water from containers he had held in his hands.)
After numerous tests for viscosity, electrical conductivity,
capacitance and refractive index, Dr. Miller and his
associates found there were significant differences in the
surface tension of healer-treated and untreated water. This
might be the measuring stick they are seeking. Dr. Miller
explained it this way:
“The surface tension of a liquid is a measure of the
attraction of the molecules at the surface and is related to
the bond energies of the molecules and is usually expressed
in dines per centimeter.”
Specimens of water were prepared in which the healer
placed the forefinger of each hand for three minutes. The
energized water showed a surface tension of 62.9 dines;
the control water, 70.1 dines. (Atlanta city water was used.)
Comparable results were obtained with a second healer.
A decrease in surface tension likewise was noted when
water was “treated” by a non-healer, but this was not as
pronounced as when the healers treated the water. Eventually
it was determined that the surface tensions of treated and
untreated distilled water--the tension being significantly
reduced after exposure to a healer’s hands--constituted the
best method yet discovered for detecting and measuring
energies.
Dr. Miller said this discovery may be “one of the most
exciting developments of this decade, because it means that
we not only have discovered a method of detecting the
energy associated with healing. but we can also measure it
quantitatively. Furthermore, we have verified that such an
energy actually exists.”
He referred to it as “primary energy” or, using Ambrose
Worrall’s term, “para-electricity.” He declared it was the
same as the life force of the ancient Chinese, the prana of
the yogis, the odic force of von Reichenbach, the orgone
energy of Wilhelm Reich. He predicted: “We will now
be able to determine the characteristics of this subtle
energy, how it can be generated, stored and used with a
maximum efficiency.”
Another step toward this goal was a series of experiments
with magnets. Since the days of Anton Mesmer in the
last century there have been “magnetic healers.” So the
researchers in Atlanta decided to compare magnetic energy
with that of a healer. Water was exposed to a magnetic field
of 1500 gauss for 15 minutes and compared with control
water and healer-treated water.
The results: surface tension of the control water--75.6
dines; of water treated by a healer--60.7 dines; of water from
the magnetic field--60.4 dines.
There seems some justification for using the word
“magnetic” in connection with healing.
Further verification was obtained by exposing copper
salt solutions to a magnetic field. In each case the resultant
crystals turned turquoise blue (as had those treated by a
healer), while control crystals remained jade green.
Dr. Miller and his colleagues concluded: “These experiments
have shown that the energy from a healer and from
a magnet have similar effects upon the water and upon
solutions of copper salts.”
But he said the question still remains: Is the energy from
a magnet a healing energy?
He recalled that Mesmer once used magnets for healing
by manually passing them over various parts of the body
but abandoned the technique when he found that “passes”
with his hands alone seemed equally effective. He felt his
hands rather than the magnets, had been responsible for
the effects all along.
“Our experiments, however, indicate that the magnet
itself produces a measurable (healing-type) energy, and if
we can equate the growth rate of plants with healing, the
results would also indicate that magnets do emit a healing
energy,” said the scientist.
Distilled water “treated” by a magnet and water treated
by Dr. Worrall were used to grow rye grass seeds under
carefully controlled conditions. After four days of healertreated
seeds had nine sprouts; the magnetized cups had
17 sprouts, and control cups watered with Atlanta tap
water had only two sprouts. However, it was noted that the water treated by Dr. Worrall was a month old, whereas
the magnetized water was fresh each time. later it was
determined that freshly magnetized water gave up its energy
after two or three days.
Finally, after eight days, the growth of the control plants
and those watered with the magnetized water was compared.
The average height of the control grass was 2.8 inches and
that of the magnetically treated specimens, 3.6 inches.
Because Russian experimenters had reported that a
strong magnetic field will affect the properties of water
by changing the hydrogen bonding in the H20 molecules,
samples of healer-treated water were sent to an expert
for analysis. An infrared spectrophotometer was used to
determine whether there would be the same kind of changes
as were seen by the Russians. As a result, “We have positive
evidence that the energy from a healer’s hands causes a
change in the molecular structure of water.”
Dr. Miller explained: “Water in the normal state has
many hydrogen bonds normally distributed. When energy is
added, whether by a healer or through the use of magnets,
the bond energies are changed. This in turn causes a change
in the surface tension of the water. However, water which
is so energized will eventually give up its energy and revert
back to its normal state.
“What it means,” he said “is that we have been successful
in bringing the energy associated with healing from the
realms of folklore to its proper place as a recognized energy
on the frontiers of modern science. We have provided missing
pieces in the puzzle of how healing occurs.
“Our results indicate that the healer either transmits
energy to the patient or mentally creates the condition for
the patient to absorb energy from his surroundings. The cells
and the organs in the body resume their normal function
with increased vigor and the healing takes place.”
Dr. Miller, former professor of chemical engineering at
Georgia Institute of Technology and now a research scientist
for the Lockheed Aircraft Company in Georgia, is a member
of the advisory committee of the Ernest Holmes Research
Foundation, along with a number of these scientists and
physicians. The foundation is unique in that it represents a
major effort by a church--the United Church of Religious
Science--to verify scientifically “certain religious structure
of water.”
