“…Once again, one notes (1) the processed bracelet significantly reduces musculoskeletal pain and (2) information entanglement between the processed bracelets and the unprocessed bracelets was strong, so that the unprocessed bracelet's efficacy for the removal of musculoskeletal pain was also very significant. However, the Mayo Clinic group 26 members reached a very different conclusion from these experimental data. They concluded, based on the assumption that a placebo must, by definition, be an inert object, that the subjective improvement of pain scores meant that the processed devices behaved like the placebo devices so the processing does "nothing" and that all subjects were under a group illusion that their pain was significantly diminished.…”

“…This study was performed at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. 26 The goal of the study was to objectively assess the human perceived benefits of wearing a particular commercial TILLER 1024 wrist bracelet, labeled "ionized" to treat muscle or joint pain via a randomized, double-blind design. Here, 305 wore a special processed bracelet and 305 wore an unprocessed bracelet (placebo) for 4 weeks.…”

For the past 20 years, the magnitude of the "placebo effect" in double-blind, medical experiments has strongly increased. This paper asks why and how. Starting with the human "psychophysiologic principle," two unconscious and one conscious biofeedback examples are given to demonstrate how malleable we humans are to our expectations and our intentions and how strong our psychoenergetic forces can be relative to conventional chemical forces. Ending with several experimental examples wherein a therapeutically processed device and an unprocessed device are critically compared, one finds strong evidence to propose that an information entanglement process is converting the unprocessed device to a functional replica of the processed device in that its therapeutic efficacy is comparable to that of the treatment device. Furthermore, arguments are provided to indicate that a practitioner's biofield is capable of expanding the range of diagnostic capability of commercial measurement instruments so that the practitioner/device hybrid system becomes a potent psychoenergetic instrument for diagnostic and treatment purposes. In between, a theoretical model is provided, based on the author's extensive experimental psychoenergetic research on long-range interconnectivity between objects, between humans and between humans and objects, to show how long-range, quantitative coupling can occur between our normal atom/molecule level of physical reality and a second, unique level of physical reality whose physics can be modulated by psychoenergetic forces. It is the material qualities of this duplex physical reality that convert a seemingly inert object/device (placebo) into a synergistically active element in double-blind placebo experiments.

“…An extraordinarily interesting field of investigation for Winter Sports is related to human equilibrium and sports equipments, as demonstrated by many studies on dynamic balance in high level athletes [141]; on injury prevention [142][143][144]; on vibrations control, fatigue, and performance [99,[145][146][147][148]; or by controversial debate on balance bracelets [149][150][151].…”
