- does not really say anything new.
- besides, from where I sit it is doubtful many reputable scientists will openly (publically) admit to the manner in which "energy" and thought forms interact - even if he or she or they have had personal experience in such matters
- and such matters are not readily amenable to scientific methods as currently practiced in research circles that receive governement funding (or decent private funding)
- sad, but true (except perhaps for one government funded study of the effects of Therapeutic Touch on the recovery of burn patients done at the University Hospital where I work - done a few years back - about three-hundred thousand dollars of funding - not a lot by standards applied to cancer research and drug reserach bit pretty amazing given the topic of study)
- and you might be amzed at the number of religionsly fanatical groups (larger or smaller) that come out to oppose such research - even try to find out where people associated with such research live, etc. I know at least two people associated with the study who had calls repeatedly placed to their offices by a local fundamentalist group called "The Watchmen" asking for personal information, home telephone, etc. The Watchmen even placed a misleading ad in the local newspaper asking anyone who had particiapted in the study to call Dr. XXX for some "follow-up questions"
- this doctor was a real person but had nothing to do with the study and was a member of The Watchmen as it turned out.
