Grad, Bernard,
Cadoret, Remi J & Paul, G I (1961). An unorthodox method of treatment on
wound healing in mice. International Journal of Parapsychology, 3(2),
(pp. 5-19) Abstract An attempt to test the effect
of the power of a self-styled "healer." 300 mice were randomly divided into
3 equal groups and a .4 X .8-inch area of skin removed from each mouse. E
(healer) held 1 group of mice (1 to a cage) between his hands for a
15-minute period twice daily. The 2nd group was held by different
individuals each day in the same manner, and the 3rd group was left
undisturbed. 1/2 the cages in each group were placed in paper bags with the
top stapled together and 1/2 in paper bages with tops open. After 16 days
the difference in rate of wound healing between E\'s mice and the 2 other
groups was significant at the .01 level (open bags only).
