Since that time, he has practiced what is known as "laying on of hands" -- first on family and friends, and later on an expanding client list including artists, medical professionals, and celebrities. His abilities have been tested by scientific experiments at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and the Science Unlimited Research Foundation -- and in one fascinating study, in 1975, he was repeatedly able to kill deadly cancer cells, sealed in glass flasks...simply by holding the flasks in his hands.Now, with explicit instructions and line drawings, he reveals how others can help themselves and their loved ones hands-on healing -- in the hope that suffering will be eased and lives will be renewed, in that remarkable place where science and miracles meet.
