Nash, Carroll B(1987). The possible detection of cervical cancer by ESP. Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, 54(807), (pp. 143 -144) Abstract Comments on A. H. Schmale and H. Iker's (1971) study in which patients tested for suspected cervical cancer were interviewed before their biopsy results were revealed. Concerned patients were found to use fewer hope -connotative words and more hopeless-connotative words in the interview if the subsequently revealed biopsy result was positive than if it was negative. ESP of the cancer is offered as a possible explanation of the relationship between the patients' use of these words and the malignancy.
