Are energy fields real? And if so, can they be used for healing and health? Yes, according to Schwartz (
The G.O.D. Experiments), a professor of psychology, surgery, medicine, neurology and psychiatry at the University of Arizona. He tells marvelous stories of such healings and uses experiments to confirm that the human body is a bundle of energy that can be healed by another such bundle of energy. One story is of a four-year-old boy, Philip, whose heart rate dropped precipitously following surgery; a Hindu avatar, by merely touching Philip, increased his heart rate to eighty beats a minute. Through experiments with EEGs and EKGs, Schwartz says, he and others have found that our bodies are masses of biochemical energy, that such energy connects us to plants and other animals, that this energy can be harnessed for healing and that some people are in touch with their energy and use it to heal others. Schwartz's research has not appeared in peer-reviewed journals (due to their bias against such work, he says), so skeptics will want to wait for his experiments to be replicated. But those disposed to believe in the healing touch will find support for that belief.

I congratulate Gary Schwartz, with William Simon, on a very readable and lucid book on the important and complex topic of energy/information healing as distinguished from chemical/nutritional healing. It is highly recommended for all readers because it will significantly transform the public mind-set in very beneficial ways."

Reader Reviews
Count on Gary Schwartz to tackle the subjects no one else will touch. So it is with The Energy Healing Experiments. What has been dismissed as woo-woo by the traditional psychological community, Schwartz has investigated with a series of ingenious experiments that left me eager to head down to my local Radio Shack to buy the components for my own LBT (little bitty telescope). This book is not the most exciting piece ever written, but it may just be one of the most ground-breaking. It reenergizes the questions: Who are we? What are we? What can we actually do? Take the time to read this book thoughtfully. It will shatter some of your illusions and lead you to question what you've "always known."
