A force around the human body different from electric, magnetic, gravitic, photic, or thermal has previously been discovered and was used in this research.  Originally called a ‘biofield’ and now called a ‘spin force’, it was found to vary in amplitude with lunar phase, solar activity, vitality of the subject and other factors.  It was found to vary in amplitude with intended remote healing attempts.  In 17 out of 20 trials in this pilot study, with healers from 50 to 3,000 miles distant, a clear change in amplitude of the spin force was observed. 

It is known by experience that prayer and other means of visualization at a distance enhance healing, although no satisfactory explanation has been found to explain this effect.  This study shows the operation of a different type of force may be involved.  Called a spin force, torque, or rotational force, it is hypothesized to exist around all living organisms¹.

Biological spin force was accidentally discovered by the author while investigating 'pyramid energy' in 1976.  The author’s device, called a Biofield Meter, displays a spin force when placed around an organism. It was found to exist around every human tested, a couple of plants, a grapefruit, watermelon, cat, dog and horse.  Presumably it exists around all living organisms and its existence has been observed by other researchers².  The amplitude of rotation of the Biofield Meter varies with solar and geomagnetic activity, changes direction temporarily at times of new and full moon and varies to some degree with the health of the subject^{1, 3}.

Russian Scientists apparently discovered a similar force to that which is measured by the Biofield Meter.  They called it a 'Torsion field' and did not notice that it was present around living organisms.  One Russian researcher found possible evidence that torsion fields appear to propagate significantly faster than the speed of light.   He designed a device which could detect the Torsion Field from stars and found that the effect was larger when he pointed his device at the place where the star would be today rather than where it was when the light left the star some time ago.  This possible high velocity of spin field could be a factor in healing at a distance.

Several researchers have observed some physiological changes in humans as a response to remote healing.  Ron Hruby, a retired NASA electrical engineer, made his own version of the Biofield Meter and hypothesized that it might respond to distant healing attempts on a subject⁴.  He found this to be the case.  In 18 trials with four subjects, he found 100% correlation of changes of the Biofield Meter amplitude of rotation with attempted healings by a small group ten miles distant from the subject.

In practice, the Biofield Meter rotates a few degrees after being placed over a subject.  Given an initial impulse, and because it is a string suspension, the torque on the string, or winding force, limits continuous rotational movement.  It winds up and unwinds, in other words, oscillating back and forth for a few minutes. The number of degrees of initial rotation was used as a measure of spin force around the body.

This experiment was conducted in Santa Cruz, California. Twenty trials were conducted May to June, 2005. The first trial was completed with a small group of remote healers in Sheffield, Massachusetts, a distance of 3,000 miles from Santa Cruz.  Three Biofield Meters were set up around three subjects.  The subjects’ first names were supplied to the distant healers. The healers chose one subject for the healing attempt, which was unknown to the observer.  A start time was determined for the healing attempt, and observation of the biofield meters began at that time. Movement of the three biofield meters were measured and recorded during the trial period.  Following the trial period, the name of the chosen subject was revealed to the observer.

In addition to this initial trial, seventeen other remote healers were invited to attempt distant healing on one of two subjects chose by the experimenter.  Seventeen subsequent trials involved one to three subjects and one to four remote healers. It was not feasible to repeat tests using multiple subjects as it was too difficult to coordinate them. Two more trials were conducted on a radio show called 'Out of Time' in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  On this show the author invited the listening audience to attempt remote healing on a subject sitting next to him. There were two main subjects who where involved in most of the trials. 

In the first trial, one of the three Biofield Meters rotated more than 720 degrees, (more than 2 complete rotations).  Later phone communication showed that this was the subject chosen for the healing attempt. The subject did not report any sensations or feelings at the time of the attempted healing or on the following days.       

In seventeen out of twenty trials, the Biofield Meter showed deflections from about 3 degrees to four full turns (1440 degrees) around the subject chosen for healing.  These seventeen included the trials involving the radio show audience. 

No obvious 'healing' effects or sensations were observed by one of the two main subjects. The other subject felt sensations four times which resulted in some healing one time. In three trials where it was offered the remote healers correctly identified problem areas for one subject.

From the results of this experiment, one can hypothesize that healers have a much greater influence on the biofield than other effects, such as phase of the moon, solar storms, the proximity of some planets, vitality of the subject, or willful intention of the subject (psychokinesis).  Many studies can be made both on the biofield and on remote healing.
