Product Description
A healer removes the pain of a broken wrist in fifteen minutes. Another removesan ovarian tumor in a couple of weeks. Still another, from thousands of miles away, regenerates the nerves of an injured spine for a patient on whom the doctors had given up. These sound like tabloid stories but could they be true? They are just three out of millions of instances in which healers have claimed to manipulate energy fields to cure the body.Books on vibrational medicine, prayer, and spiritual healing present readers with an array of historical and current discoveries and techniques. But so far nobody has addressed the reality of healing through comprehensive scientificresearch. The Energy Healing Experiments fills that void. Harvard-educated Dr. Gary E. Schwartz provides scientific experiments and evidence to reveal the truth about the existence of energy fields and unlocks their potential for enhancing your health.

 Good Review & Analysis Of Energy Healing Research Evidence June 9, 2008
Jed Shlackman (Miami, FL United States)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I first came across Schwartz' work almost a decade ago in the Living Energy Universe. His subsequent books have been more focused, and the Energy Healing Experiments looks at the research and evidence validating the power of consciousness and intention to guide healing energies. This book provides solid evidence and explores important questions raised by both believers and skeptics. As an energy healer I know what I observe and experience with myself and clients, so I don't need convincing... but for those who lack the expanded sensory awareness to feel and perceive energy healing it's useful to have empirical findings and methodically designed experiments that confirm something is happening that can't be explained in a materialistic manner. Gary Schwartz has done well in collecting this evidence and presenting it within a thoughtful analysis and discussion of its implications. This book is practical and more scientifically-oriented than spiritually oriented even though it does bring up the spiritual and philosophical implications of energy healing. I recommend this for healers who want to have a collection of research that supports their work, as well as the general public and skeptics who wish to carefully consider the evidence regarding this phenomenon.
Meticulous Research Presented in a User Friendly Way, Plus a Glimpse into the Mind of a Great Scientist May 20, 2008

This book is an organized and convincing exploration of not just the research Schwartz has done into energy healing, but his personal journey from skepticism to advocacy. His meticulous research design, his sterling qualifications, and his equal interest in what works and what doesn't, all make him a credible commentator on the field. He walks the reader through the various explanations, from local to beyond quantum, for energy healing. He describes the energy fields that we know, like those behind cell phone technology, and how these are analogous to the signals from the hands of healers. The book also provides a handy and understandable guide to the wavelengths involved, some of which I talk about in my own book, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention. Schwartz also gives frank insights into his own thought processes, from initial insights such as when, as a boy, he placed his hands on the antenna connections of an old TV and watched the signal change; gazing into the mind of a pioneering researcher is fascinating. While the jargon in which scientists insist on presenting their findings in peer reviewed journals is impenetrable to the lay person, this book is understandable, well-paced, and entertaining. It is destined to become a classic in this field.

I read the G.O.D. book and was mildly interested, but, frankly had grave doubts about the research/conclusions therein. Now see another book by G.S. I was about to bite untill I read the comment the stuff is not peer reviewed because of 'their' bias. Oh Right!!!! Sounds very much like the same tired line. The (Doctors, Med. Profession, Drug Companies, Scientists)don't really understand and/or don't want you to know all this important information. sure as heck not going to waste my money on this one.

I just want to thank Dr. Gary Schwartz. Because being a MD, applying energy healing in my work, this books helps a lot to be able to explain the patients the way the therapies based on Energy Healing work.
 Bland material with a complicated presentaion. October 26, 2007

I found this book mildly interesting. There is a lot of science in here, but frankly, it was a bit much for me. The setup for the experiments was detailed, detailed to the point of tedium. By the time I got to reading the actual results I was worn out and ready to move on to the next experiment. Unfortunately for my tastes, it was more of the same. The book really lacked any WOW factor for me, and rarely was I fascinated or intrigued. In all fairness to the author, he is a scientist through and through, and seems to be meticulous in his adherence to scientific principles of experimentation.
I am guessing this book may have real appeal for the scientist or those who reject anecdote and are in need of graphs and charts for them to be interested or persuaded. But not for me, and I am guessing not for the average reader.
