1
00:00:04,300 --> 00:00:01,760
today I'd like to talk to you about some

2
00:00:06,769 --> 00:00:04,310
of our experiments over the last decade

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:06,779
involving laboratory studies of

4
00:00:11,209 --> 00:00:09,570
something known as pranic healing with

5
00:00:14,530 --> 00:00:11,219
cells in culture subjected to gamma

6
00:00:17,210 --> 00:00:14,540
radiation first what is Pontic healing

7
00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:17,220
pranic healing is actually a bio field

8
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:19,920
therapy was established in China

9
00:00:24,769 --> 00:00:22,500
thousands of years ago it was

10
00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:24,779
rediscovered and reformulated by master

11
00:00:28,970 --> 00:00:27,060
by laying in the sixth century and more

12
00:00:32,089 --> 00:00:28,980
recently in 20th century by Master Choa

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:32,099
Kok so it's actually a type of what I'll

14
00:00:36,410 --> 00:00:34,290
call subtle energy and here I'm using

15
00:00:39,619 --> 00:00:36,420
the term subtle energy more in a

16
00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:39,629
metaphorical way for basically something

17
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:41,460
that we really don't fully understand

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:44,610
and you'll see why this is a case as we

19
00:00:50,180 --> 00:00:47,730
proceed now what's a basis for pranic

20
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:50,190
healing this is the basis for pranic

21
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:53,520
healing as described by a pranic healer

22
00:00:58,130 --> 00:00:56,129
certainly not a scientist in fact there

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:00:58,140
are many terms here that many of us in

24
00:01:03,020 --> 00:01:00,090
the scientific community would have a

25
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:03,030
few problems with but in any case let me

26
00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:06,000
describe how a pranic healer would

27
00:01:11,289 --> 00:01:09,270
describe the basis for pranic healing it

28
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:11,299
turns out that some sensitive people

29
00:01:17,870 --> 00:01:15,710
perceive energy fields as auras of color

30
00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:17,880
surrounding the body process known as

31
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:21,470
clairvoyance colors in the aura and the

32
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:24,810
energy centers are chakras shift

33
00:01:31,249 --> 00:01:27,930
constantly reflecting the state of the

34
00:01:34,940 --> 00:01:31,259
body health and illness and then by

35
00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:34,950
projecting as this is the way the pond

36
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:37,020
tequila would be working projecting

37
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:39,210
energy in quotation marks again of

38
00:01:46,219 --> 00:01:42,570
appropriate colors can in fact change

39
00:01:50,060 --> 00:01:46,229
the colors of the aura and therefore the

40
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:50,070
state of health now how does the pranic

41
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:52,320
healer actually go about their work this

42
00:01:58,399 --> 00:01:56,310
is a process first they give blessings

43
00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:58,409
and recognition to masters and teachers

44
00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:01,439
that have provided guidance they

45
00:02:07,550 --> 00:02:05,040
actually scan the energy or the aura of

46
00:02:11,390 --> 00:02:07,560
the subject to diagnose any

47
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:11,400
abnormalities they then clean and

48
00:02:16,610 --> 00:02:13,920
energize the body

49
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:16,620
chakras and the aura of the subject with

50
00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:19,200
prana of appropriate colors to promote

51
00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:23,220
healing and balance well how can we

52
00:02:28,699 --> 00:02:25,920
actually evaluate this process to really

53
00:02:32,090 --> 00:02:28,709
see if in fact it is working as

54
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:32,100
prescribed our objectives were to

55
00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:34,290
critically evaluate pranic healing but

56
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:36,600
in a laboratory setting that we had much

57
00:02:43,390 --> 00:02:38,250
better control of the variables involved

58
00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:43,400
and specifically to investigate possible

59
00:02:48,729 --> 00:02:45,780
mediation effects of pranic healing on

60
00:02:54,020 --> 00:02:48,739
HeLa cells was a human cell line in

61
00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:54,030
culture subjected to gamma radiation now

62
00:02:58,670 --> 00:02:56,400
the experimental model that we used once

63
00:03:01,009 --> 00:02:58,680
again was HeLa cells in culture this is

64
00:03:03,650 --> 00:03:01,019
a cell line human cell line that's been

65
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:03,660
used for many many years to look at the

66
00:03:11,810 --> 00:03:07,590
effects of low-level electromagnetic

67
00:03:14,509 --> 00:03:11,820
radiation we actually then measure the

68
00:03:17,060 --> 00:03:14,519
radiation survival rates with and

69
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:17,070
without pranic healing and once again

70
00:03:21,530 --> 00:03:18,750
one of the reasons that we selected this

71
00:03:26,259 --> 00:03:21,540
model is at its laboratory model that is

72
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:26,269
well established and well characterized

73
00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:29,940
we begin these studies with something

74
00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:32,070
that I will call a single experiment and

75
00:03:36,740 --> 00:03:34,470
I will refer to this in the presentation

76
00:03:39,979 --> 00:03:36,750
as a single experiment each single

77
00:03:42,259 --> 00:03:39,989
experiment involved 10 basically

78
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:42,269
identical petri dishes with HeLa cells

79
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:45,209
and culture two of these label is a were

80
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:49,650
controls B were b1 b2 were subjected to

81
00:03:57,170 --> 00:03:54,450
radiation only then the c1 and c2 petri

82
00:04:00,860 --> 00:03:57,180
dishes were pranic healing was applied

83
00:04:03,220 --> 00:04:00,870
after radiation d1 into two pranic

84
00:04:06,289 --> 00:04:03,230
healing was applied before radiation and

85
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:06,299
e1 and e2 pranic healing was applied

86
00:04:17,569 --> 00:04:13,049
both before and after radiation our

87
00:04:19,460 --> 00:04:17,579
first study goes back to 1997 and let me

88
00:04:22,430 --> 00:04:19,470
share this with you because I think the

89
00:04:25,370 --> 00:04:22,440
results are rather interesting we began

90
00:04:26,740 --> 00:04:25,380
with 25 single experiments using three

91
00:04:30,610 --> 00:04:26,750
different pranic healers

92
00:04:32,860 --> 00:04:30,620
in this study only two only two out of

93
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:32,870
the 25 experiments were successful so

94
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:35,930
only 8% were successful well I was ready

95
00:04:40,540 --> 00:04:37,610
to turn it in and say well this doesn't

96
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:40,550
work let's move on to something else but

97
00:04:46,810 --> 00:04:42,170
I was still kind of curious as to why

98
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:46,820
two of them did work talking with the

99
00:04:51,910 --> 00:04:49,490
pranic healers they all came back with

100
00:04:53,260 --> 00:04:51,920
the response that well you know you're

101
00:04:56,350 --> 00:04:53,270
working in a dirt we're working in a

102
00:04:58,060 --> 00:04:56,360
dirty lab and I said dirty lab do you

103
00:05:00,010 --> 00:04:58,070
guys clean it every week I mean what is

104
00:05:03,190 --> 00:05:00,020
the problem here and they said no no no

105
00:05:06,850 --> 00:05:03,200
you don't understand your lab is etheric

106
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:06,860
ly dirty we find that the that the lab

107
00:05:10,660 --> 00:05:08,690
is very dirty when we go in and work

108
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:10,670
there and we would we would really

109
00:05:16,630 --> 00:05:14,090
prefer to work in a clean lab and so my

110
00:05:19,090 --> 00:05:16,640
response is well if you want a clean lab

111
00:05:21,970 --> 00:05:19,100
let's make a clean lab so the pranic

112
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:21,980
healers then applied the pranic healing

113
00:05:27,550 --> 00:05:23,750
techniques that they would apply to the

114
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:27,560
cells and culture to the lab itself to

115
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,210
clean the lab and make it more suitable

116
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:32,000
for doing experiments so the apparent

117
00:05:39,070 --> 00:05:34,400
problem was experiments were conducted

118
00:05:41,620 --> 00:05:39,080
in a unconditioned or a dirty laboratory

119
00:05:43,930 --> 00:05:41,630
space and will come to refer this to

120
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:43,940
refer to this a bit later as an

121
00:05:50,409 --> 00:05:46,850
unconditioned lab space that now we want

122
00:05:52,990 --> 00:05:50,419
to condition the pranic healers worked

123
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:53,000
on this lab daily for a period of about

124
00:05:59,860 --> 00:05:56,570
four months and after this four month

125
00:06:01,810 --> 00:05:59,870
time period the healers felt that the

126
00:06:03,969 --> 00:06:01,820
lab was clean enough that they felt they

127
00:06:06,610 --> 00:06:03,979
could do a series of experiments so we

128
00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:06,620
tried the experiments again instead of

129
00:06:13,060 --> 00:06:10,400
25 experiments we decided to do 50

130
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:13,070
single experiments the experiments are

131
00:06:18,190 --> 00:06:14,690
now conducted in what I'll call a

132
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,200
conditioned or clean space and out of

133
00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:20,479
these 50 single experiments using three

134
00:06:26,409 --> 00:06:23,750
different pranic healers 44 out of 50

135
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:26,419
experiments were successful so we went

136
00:06:36,219 --> 00:06:30,770
from a success rate of 8% in a dirty lab

137
00:06:37,930 --> 00:06:36,229
or ill-conditioned lab to 88% this led

138
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:37,940
us then once again this study was done

139
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:40,630
in 1997 and that led us

140
00:06:45,060 --> 00:06:42,850
to a more extensive study which we've

141
00:06:51,590 --> 00:06:45,070
been under undertaken over the last

142
00:06:54,930 --> 00:06:51,600
decade between 1998 and today at the

143
00:06:59,400 --> 00:06:54,940
meeting in La Jolla a few years ago we

144
00:07:03,030 --> 00:06:59,410
reported on a study involving sorry we

145
00:07:06,510 --> 00:07:03,040
reported on a study involving 70 single

146
00:07:11,370 --> 00:07:06,520
experiments here we now report on a

147
00:07:14,970 --> 00:07:11,380
series of 854 single experiments using

148
00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:14,980
10 different pranic healers we also have

149
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:16,960
done four experiments using four groups

150
00:07:22,110 --> 00:07:20,110
of pranic healers in one group there was

151
00:07:23,970 --> 00:07:22,120
twenty for another thirty to forty two

152
00:07:27,930 --> 00:07:23,980
and thirty-eight healers all working

153
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:27,940
together we also conducted 350

154
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:29,770
experiments to test conditioning of

155
00:07:35,490 --> 00:07:32,410
laboratory space eighty experiments

156
00:07:37,140 --> 00:07:35,500
using three Qigong masters 150

157
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:37,150
experiments using eight individual

158
00:07:44,460 --> 00:07:41,050
energy healers sort of to go to the

159
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:44,470
chase the pranic healers in fact were

160
00:07:53,070 --> 00:07:49,870
able to effect a change in the survival

161
00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:53,080
rate of the cells and the the results

162
00:07:57,030 --> 00:07:55,120
were actually surprisingly close if not

163
00:07:59,070 --> 00:07:57,040
identical to the results that we

164
00:08:01,710 --> 00:07:59,080
obtained with Qigong masters as well as

165
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:01,720
these number of individual energy

166
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:05,170
healers so even though the energy are

167
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:09,730
the therapeutic processes may be quite

168
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:12,160
different in these cases the end result

169
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:14,310
seemed to be almost identical

170
00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:18,010
let's look it's sort of the experimental

171
00:08:22,380 --> 00:08:20,950
design the healers were extensively

172
00:08:24,510 --> 00:08:22,390
interviewed at the beginning of the

173
00:08:27,210 --> 00:08:24,520
study and each experiment only went

174
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:27,220
forward if each healer felt confident on

175
00:08:32,580 --> 00:08:30,370
being able to work that day we then

176
00:08:33,719 --> 00:08:32,590
interviewed the healers at the end of

177
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:33,729
the study to record their impressions

178
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:36,640
and actually as it turned out if they

179
00:08:40,709 --> 00:08:38,530
went forward the study they all felt

180
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:40,719
they all felt that they were successful

181
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:44,169
in having an effect on the cells and

182
00:08:49,140 --> 00:08:47,050
culture and of course it's useful to

183
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:49,150
remind ourselves that some of the

184
00:08:52,950 --> 00:08:50,560
healers from beginning found the lab

185
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:52,960
dirty and this led to etheric Lee

186
00:08:55,650 --> 00:08:54,310
cleaning the lab

187
00:08:58,050 --> 00:08:55,660
during the study and that process has

188
00:09:01,740 --> 00:08:58,060
been going on now for over the last

189
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:01,750
decade have a very clean lap in case you

190
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:08,460
here are some temporal results that kind

191
00:09:15,150 --> 00:09:11,440
of summarizes 854 experiments the

192
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:15,160
control group cell the survival rate

193
00:09:19,710 --> 00:09:16,410
hundred percent as you would expect

194
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:19,720
those created those treated with

195
00:09:24,329 --> 00:09:22,240
radiation only survival rate of about 50

196
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:24,339
percent as you would expect we gave a

197
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:26,800
level of gamma radiation that over a

198
00:09:32,540 --> 00:09:29,050
24-hour period would was designed to

199
00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:32,550
produce a survival rate of 50 percent

200
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:35,920
the cells that were treated after

201
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:38,890
radiation survival rate jumped up to 70

202
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:41,529
percent before radiation up to 80

203
00:09:47,510 --> 00:09:44,290
percent before and after radiation up to

204
00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:47,520
over 90 percent an unheard-of change in

205
00:09:57,630 --> 00:09:53,920
cell survival rate let me kind of
