study on energy healing

[Celebration]

It seems that energy healing types did their magic on petri dishes, and caused tendons and bone growth factors to grow better. Heh.

Thought this was on topic enough here to crosspost from Health.

1. Wow, I am totally impressed

With the hornet's nest.......

They HATE peer reviewed published studies showing that reiki works.

Fear, fear, fear.

I'm going to have to infuse some love into my own thread. I knew it would cause an uproar, but nothing like this. I think what gets 'em is that the study was so.......clinical--kind of a perfect study.

2. Great article but oh my the reaction elsewhere!

I feel like I need a psychic shower!

I will forward this to my Mom at work to read during break. Hopefully she will let me have a go at her bones w/Reiki and see what we can do for her osteoporosis!

3. I'm too scared to click on your link now, ijm. Sounds like the Health posters freaked. nt

4. Wow, I read the link and the posters responses

One poster obsessed with his penis and the other one totally ignorant of healing thru touch.

I'd have to say she "rubbed" me the wrong way. Now I feel sick reading her posts.:rofl:

6. the interesting part of all of this

Is that so many of them are so illogical in their objections. I am as left brained as any of them, and I can tell you that most of the posts had no basis in logic. I think that is why some of the skeptics just totally avoided the thread.

I actually agree that the study needs to be replicated. But so what? It should be an interesting study to skeptics. Instead they call for the researcher's head, etc.

I am used to all the stuff thrown around in Health, but I have to admit I was taken aback by this. But I actually had to laugh a little bit. I did get a post removed (one of the penis ones) that, unbelievably, was so outlandish and off the charts it made me laugh. I almost didn't even report it.

5. You are very brave and wonderful!

Reading the thread I'm reminded of how very angry people get when the are presented with information that they can't handle.

:applause:

7. Wow - not just zealously skeptic, but RABID.

It never ceases to amazine me to see the level of disrespect our skeptics will stoop to. It really speaks poorly of their character.
