Is the Therapy System Based on "healing Hands" a Scam, or is it Genuine? are There Really People Who Posess Strange Magnetic Powers?
Is the therapy system based on "healing hands" a scam or is it genuine? Are there really people who possess strange magnetic powers?
There are so many medical scams at the moment, being touted as "miracle cures" for almost any ailment, one is inclined to view all unorthodox therapy systems with skepticism.
Nevertheless, the possibility that some people may possess an extraordinary power, known as "healing hands" is an intriguing feature of therapy that should not be ignored.
Although it is a theory that is completely rejected by orthodox medical opinion, there are a growing number of highly respected scientists who attach a great deal of importance to this method of alternative medicine.
There is a growing body of scientific evidence to support the theory that some people appear to possess a mysterious quality which, for want of a better term, can be described as "healing hands".
There is evidence to suggest that some people have a remarkable ability to cure sicknesses by means of touching or massaging the ailing person. Documented evidence of this has appeared in reputable scientific journals.
Orthodox medicine dismisses the notion that some people are able to transmit "magnetic, healing waves" as ridiculous. Medical practitioners are convinced that if these incidents have in fact occurred, the cures have probably resulted from the power of suggestion and emotional response on the part of the sick person.
This may well be so, but there is another argument that cannot be ignored. It effectively counters this assertion that the power of suggestion is responsible for these cures.
Increasing evidence is coming to light in the veterinary profession of remarkable cures in dogs and other animals by holistic specialists in alternative therapy, who have used the power of "healing hands" to cure illnesses in dogs and horses where orthodox veterinary techniques have failed.
Quite clearly the influence of the power of suggestion and the emotional response on the part of the "patient" is completely different to that which might occur with humans.
Those who favor this notion of the existence of "magnetic waves" bolster their arguments by referring to the action of the polygraph, as used in lie-detector tests. It is well known that the polygraph works on a similar principle as the galvanometer, which was named after the Italian physicist, Luigi Galvan. Human emotions are measured by electrical impulses that are recorded by a needle moving a long a moving graph of paper.
Quite clearly, the more intense the emotion, the greater will be the movement due to the amount of electricity generated. When people lie they become agitated. The heartbeat increases, as does blood pressure.
Another theory, which in some respect parallels this concept of some humans being able to generate or radiate a mysterious magnetic mental force , is to be seen in the case of the relationship between humans and plants.
There is a great deal of authenticated evidence to suggest that this does in fact occur and plants do respond in some strange way to human emotions.
This would perhaps explain why some people appear to possess, what is commonly referred to as "green fingers", and have an amazing capacity to encourage growth in plants and flowers, while others have no success at all.
If this relationship, which depends on emotional bonding between humans and plants, exists - as has been claimed by reliable, objective, biologists - how much more likely is it to occur between humans?
As implausible as it may sound, the theory that it may be possible to transmit some form of magnetic mental energy waves is something which should not be complete ignored.
THE E.S.P ( EXTRA-SENSORY PERCEPTION) EXPERIMENTS OF PROFESSOR RHINE OF DUKE UNIVERSITY.
People interested in extrasensory perception will undoubtedly have heard about the remarkable experiments of Professor Rhine of Duke University, which indicated that although extrasensory perception was something that could not be explained by physical laws, there was little doubt that it did exist. There was a suggestion that some people possessed the power to transmit magnetic, mental waves,
Professor Rhine's experiments aroused a great deal of controversy. They have been disputed by a number of authorities in this field, who maintain that they have never been able to duplicate the extraordinary results claimed by Professor Rhine.
Researchers who tried to find the reason why Professor Rhine's extrasensory perception experiments were highly successful in certain instances and not as successful in others, found that when those when those who took part in the experiments truly believed they possessed unusual gifts, the results were strikingly successful.
On the other hand, those who participated in the experiments with some degree of skepticism were not nearly as successful in showing signs of telepathic powers.
This may suggest a possible answer to the question of how to develop unusual, paranormal powers.
As is well known, when a placebo is used as a means of therapy, the beneficial effects are most marked when the patient truly believes in the power of the placebo.
Obviously the power of suggestion is a extremely potent force, but it would seem that there may be other factors at work besides suggestion.
The magic of believing and the extraordinary power that this produces has been demonstrated time and time again in every sphere of life. And self-belief is an integral part of believing.
If you are absolutely convinced - in your heart and in your mind - you have the power to accomplish something - you can achieve your goal.
