what is this page? should i try it? who am I? im not going to tell you who i am but i thought id share something with you. last year i was invited to be studied in a hospital in New York. that study is currently being reviewed to be published in the journal of alternative and complementary medicine. in the study i worked on about 30 patients with varying problems. below are case notes from 3 patients. Room 4144-B 87 year old female with a past medical history of diffuse coronary artery disease s/p pacemaker placement in 1994, anemia, bowel resection for bleeding diverticulosis 3 years ago initially presented to the hospital for pressure like chest pain, epigastric pain, and left shoulder pain two days ago. In addition, patient complains of chronic issues related to pain in her mouth, headache, and neck pain. During this session the patient was sitting on a chair next to her hospital bed. In the room was another patient who shared the room, two post graduate year 1 residents, one fourth year medical student, the patient’s close friend, and ##### himself. The session began with ##### energizing a cup of water that was already in the patient’s room before he came. The patient then drank the water and was completely healed of the pain away in her left arm; however, the pain in her mouth, neck, and head still persisted. The patient then stood up and walked a few steps and waved her arm to show that she was without pain. Next, the patient ate some pudding which she states would typically give her severe epigastric pain. First, ###### placed his hands over her sternal area without touching her, and then she proceeded to eat the entire cup of hospital size cup of pudding. After finishing the cup of pudding, she reported no pain at all. Finally, the patient complained of mouth pain that the patient reported to be a lump on the hard palate. After ###### placed his hand over her head for a few seconds, the lump had decreased in size. ###### repeated the maneuver with his hand over her head and shrunk the lump in her mouth completely. Finally, ###### repeated the maneuver for the pain in the patient’s neck and healed the patient of her neck pain. A few minutes after this session was over the patient got up and walked out of her room, into the hallway of the hospital, and back to her room. The patient states that this is the first time she has been able to walk without a cane for the past nine years.
