The Energy Medicine Institute
proposes the following six experiments as steps toward scientifically establishing the
case for energy medicine in health care settings and illustrate ways energy therapies
could be integrated with conventional medicine:
1) implementing energy balancings before and after surgery and
comparing laboratory measures such as T-cell counts as well as recovery rates with those
of patients receiving relaxation training and those receiving no special intervention;
2) adding twice-weekly energy medicine sessions, combined with a daily
self-administered energy balancing routine, to the treatment regimes of patients diagnosed
with an autoimmune disorder, such as multiple sclerosis, and comparing gene expression (as
measured by "gene chips") as well as the disease course over a year with matched
patients receiving conventional treatment only;
3) augmenting medication decisions with methods that test for the
energetic compatibility of the choice and dosage of the drug and comparing laboratory
measures of the drug’s intended actions, healing rates, and side effects with matched
patients whose medication and dosage are determined by standard indicators alone;
4) supplementing chemotherapy, radiation, and medication with energy
methods for reducing side effects and comparing with matched patients not using energy
methods;
5) teaching paramedics to apply a basic energy routine designed to
reduce the impact of physical trauma at the scene of an accident and comparing T-cell
counts, pain, anxiety, and recovery rates with a matched group not receiving this
intervention;
6) offering a randomly selected group of employees of a company daily
20-minute energy balancing sessions and comparing baseline lab test health indicators as
well as their medical service utilization histories over a two-year period with
randomly-selected employees who are offered a daily 20-minute calisthenics program and
another with no special treatment.
Additional experiments could also reveal the potential advantages of
bringing the principles of energy medicine to workplace, educational, and community
settings. For instance:
