hmmm, not sure about reliability and validity studies. Lots of anecdotal research. As well as current studies going on in Germany where it all began. There is additional research going on in California, the controlled, double-blind kind that the powers that be always want to see. Have yet to be published, when I inquired, they said probably by the end of the year. The book also gets into some of the preliminary research.

Personally, I don't need the studies, the proof is in the pudding. Or "they'll know it by it's fruit" And the fruit of this work has been profound. Change, evolution, healing on all levels. (and just plain great for physical pain) And I intuited the sweetness of this energy the first time I experienced it.

Measurement and duplication? I am able to measure degrees of intensity of pain with each client, and do before and after observations. The results are never exactly duplicatable, because everyone's uniqueness brings something different to the table. For example, if the pain is acute from a new injury, it quickly dissipates. If it is a chronic pain, with lots of emotional baggage tied in with it, it can take quite a bit longer. Layer by layer. but faster than any other system I have worked with.
