Abstract 

Energy healing, or healing with intent, is a complementary and alternative medicine therapy reported to be beneficial with a wide variety of conditions. We are developing a delivery technology for a method previously tested in mouse models with solid tumors (the Bengston method) independent of the presence of a healer. The goal of this study was to assess whether stored or recorded energy has an impact on breast cancer cells in vitro, using energy-charged cotton and electromagnetic recording of healers practicing the method. Expression of genes involved in cancer and inflammation pathways was measured by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Treatment of cells using energy-charged cotton resulted in statistically significant changes <1.5-fold. In cells exposed to an electromagnetic recording, 37 genes of 167 tested showed a >1.5-fold change when compared to the control, and 68 genes showing statistically significant fold changes. Two genes, ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) and interleukin 1b (IL-1b), were consistently downregulated at 4 and 24 hours of exposure to the recording, respectively, in 3 independent experiments. Both ACLY and IL-1b were also downregulated in cells exposed to a hands-on delivery of the method, suggesting these 2 genes as potential markers of the healing method.

“Experiments related herein show that genomic changes can be induced in cultured transformed cells directly by contact with a healer and by the exposure to a recording of this energy. The genes demonstrating energy-induced changes under both conditions (ACLY, IL-1b) have been shown to play a role in cancer and/or the body’s response to cancer. There is little doubt but that some biological response has been stimulated by both the healer and the recording of healing energy. The consequences of that genomics effect, and the careful evaluation of the several components to induce them, require further study. Multiple questions need to be addressed, such as exposure time of subjects to energy recordings, the composition of the recording itself, what equipment can best capture the healer’s input, and so on. Efforts to find answers to these questions are underway. 

In summary, the following suggestive conclusions may be drawn from our results: 

1. Reproducible biologic changes have been induced by healing energy, whether by direct hands-on healing or using a recording of healing activity. 

2. Healing intention can be captured and released, thereby potentially allowing the phenomenon to be more widely disseminated. 

3. Hands-on delivery of the healing intention is stronger than with the recording used in this study, suggesting the possibility that the recording did not fully capture the healing potential.”

The Healing Connection: EEG Harmonics, Entrainment, and Schumann's Resonances. Luke Hendricks, William F. Bengston, Jay Gunkelman, Published 2010.

This study looks at interpersonal coupling or connectivity between healer and subject pairs using advanced signal processing approaches and instantaneous EEG phase coupling. Paired recordings of the healer and subject were done both with the subject at a distance and in the proximity of the healer. The EEG data were analyzed for cross-spectral coupling using the bispectrum, as well as the more traditional Fourier-based spectral analysis and EEG waveform analysis looking at phase. The healer's EEG data showed harmonic frequency coupling across the spectra, followed by between-individual EEG frequency entrainment effects, and then by instantaneous EEG phase locking. These results suggest the presence of a connection between the healer and subject. We observed the healer producing a pattern of harmonics, consistent with Schumann Resonances, with an entrainment of the subject's EEG by the healer's resonance standing waves, and with eventual phase coupling seen between the healer and subject-paired EEGs. We speculate that Schumann's resonance-based standing potential effect might serve as a connectivity mechanism underlying healing.

Abstract—A few studies have reported magnetic field changes during bioenergy healing. In a pilot experiment, we examined magnetic field activity during hands-on healing and distant healing of mice with experimentally induced tumors. During healing sessions, we observed distinct magnetic field oscillations adjacent to the mice cages, which were similar in appearance to those reported by Zimmerman (1985). The magnetic field oscillations began as 20–30 Hz oscillations, slowing to 8–9 Hz, and then to less than 1 Hz, at which point the oscillations reversed and increased in frequency, with an overall symmetrical appearance resembling a “chirp wave.” The waves ranged from 1–8 milliGauss peak-to-peak in strength and 60–120 sec in duration. Evidence to date suggests that bioenergy healing may be detectable with DC gaussmeters, although we have not ruled out an artifactual basis for the oscillations reported here.
