The CHO and Healing Research

Healers hold the belief that the act of healing involves the transfer of ‘healing energy’ through themselves into the client, where it reactivates the client’s own healing systems as if recharging their physical, mental, and spiritual batteries. Sceptics accept that many clients do feel better after receiving healing, but say that there is no such thing as ‘healing energy’ and any improvement is due to a combination of placebo response together with a co-incident improvement of their condition that would have occurred anyway, hence the need for research.

On behalf of the healing movement, we actively invite funding enquiries from researchers working in university and/or NHS departments who wish to carry out research where any positive outcomes cannot be attributed to chance, placebo response, or other non healing effect explanation.
