Scientific Evidence for Distance Healing. The Annals of Internal Medicine is not the kind of a journal where one is likely to find advertisements for healing crystals. So some may be surprised to see a recent issue suggesting that there may be merit to an alternative form of medicine known as distance healing. This can include anything from therapeutic touch -- in which practitioners, without touching their patients, try to alter their energy fields -- to simply praying for people who are ill. Dr. John A. Aston, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland medical school, said a review of 23 studies indicated a positive effect in 57 percent of the cases. One of the studies involved about 1,000 heart patients, 10 percent of whom appeared to be helped when people prayed for them without their knowledge. Dr. Aston believes more research is needed. "I take the position, which I believe is the scientific one, which is to stay open-minded," he said. [Source: New York Times by Eric Nagourney]
