Effects Induced In Vivo by Exposure to Magnetic Signals Derived From a Healing Technique

Abstract

Energy healing is a therapy said to manipulate and balance the flow of “energies” in the body. One such technique, the Bengston Healing Method (BHM), has shown some success in healing malignant tumors in animals and humans, but the mechanism of action and factors influencing therapeutic success of this method are poorly understood. In this study, we tested in vivo the antitumor potential of magnetic signals recorded during BHM healing. Balb/c mice engrafted with 4T1 breast cancer cells were exposed to this recording for 4 h/d on a weekly or daily basis for 28 days; control mice were not exposed at all. Tumors showed a trend to grow slower in the treatment versus control group during the fourth week of treatment. Elevated leukocyte counts, associated with an increase in blood levels of granulocyte–macrophage colony stimulating factor and interleukin-6, were observed in tumor-bearing mice exposed to the BHM recording but not in healthy animals exposed to the recording. This suggests that exposure to a recording of BHM may induce a biological response in tumor-bearing mice, but limited effects on tumor growth when observed within the predefined end point of 28 days. Studies involving longer end points are recommended to observe the progression of tumor growth.

Differential In Vivo Effects on Cancer Models by Recorded Magnetic Signals Derived From a Healing Technique

“…28 An attempt to reproduce the effect using the same breast in vivo cancer model used in this study produced significant results, but the experiment had to be prematurely aborted because tumor volume exceeded IACUC guidelines. 32 Among the questions that need to be addressed include the reason that the recording "worked" on the breast cancer model in the first place, as well as why the recording did not produce significant effects on the melanoma model. A short list of questions that need addressing include the following:…”

“…This implies that the recording has not completely captured the healing effect. 28 , 32 Speculative possibilities for this include the necessity for more or different kinds of detectors; the translation of analog signals that were reduced to a digital format so there was some information lost. The possibilities are endless, and at this point, it is important that research into various forms of recordings take place.…”

A Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial on Hospitalized Covid Patients using Informed Water

“…The cases of Grad Other methods of storing and scaling healing intention have included using sophisticated EMF detectors inside of a Faraday cage, and the signals from the various detectors combined and reduced to an audio file. These recordings played either to cancer cells in-vitro (Beseme et al, 2018); or to mice in-vivo (Beseme et al, 2020;Bengston et al, forthcoming 2023) produce some significant but not well-understood biological effects. By the same token, initial findings are suggestive that the recordings, although producing biological effects, may not be as efficacious as one-on-one healer-to-healee approaches.…”
