Benford MS. Radiogenic Metabolism: An Alternative Cellular Energy Source.
Medical Hypotheses. January 2001, Vol. 56, No. 1, 33-39.
Abstract: The concept of "healing energy" is commonly used in complementary and alternative medicine; however, efforts to define this concept using contemporary scientific theory, and measure it using modem scientific methods, have been limited to date. Recent experimental testing by Benford et al. observed an uniform, substantial and consistent decrease in gamma radiation during alternative healing sessions thus supporting a new energy-balance paradigm hypothesizing ionizing radiation as an alternative cellular energy source. This hypothesis extends the known elements of radiogenic metabolism to potentially explain a number of presumably biopositive energy-related phenomena, including fasting and radiation hormesis, as well as to demystify unexplained anomalies such as idiopathic thermogenesis, halos and auras, and incorruptibility of human corpses.
