Re: Pc slammed in Whole Earth Review

I saw some of Maria Thun's research presented at a conference held at Kimberton Village in PA (home to the BD Assoc of America) about 10 years ago.  Slides, graphs, reports, at least some was in English...also some research done on the effects of the BD preps used on forests and soils impacted by drift from Chernobyl.

As a zen shiatsu practitioner, I would also like to add a plug, along the lines of how does one "prove" having intuition, to the power of intent and attitude, which may not ever be "scientifically" measurable.  "Tests" have shown measurable electric current, for example, during craniosacral (massage) treatments, but does this mean that such tx always work?  What role do the intents and the expectations of giver and receiver play, and what if the "measurable" results take place gradually, incrementally, some physically, some emotionally, etc., and perhaps over a time span that most experimental research would miss?  Or if we prescribe what constitutes measurable results, what breadth of profound and essential "qualitative" impact might we not even see?  And if not open to something happening, do we at some level prevent it altogether?
