E had the effect of accelerating growth of all the plants, thus supplying strong evidence for the existence of the "healer's" PK ability. , Another experiment in basic research was conducted by J. Smith. She measured the effect of "healer" E on trypsin. The results of this experiment were published in "Parapsychology". In 1971, G. Watins of Parapsychology research and his wife reported the results of their experiments verifying the existence of man's ability for psychic cure. White mice were also used as the subjets of this experiment. However, the mice were anesthetized. This way, the laboratory animals did not have to be harmed, and data would be generated much more quickly. An expeimental and a control rat were both placed under a general anesthesia. A young girl, G, who believed she had psychic healing powers was allowed to attempt. to will the experimental rat awake and to have him gain consciousness before the control rat. After several unsuccessfu attempts, they progressed to the double blind method. Even the experimentor did not know which rat was the experimental one, so as to avoid prejudice in judging the results. The experiment was conducted 24 times. G was 100% successful. In view of the fact that there had never been a perfect score in a PK experiment, G's score was unprecedented. At the same time, amother 11 persons were also tested. Most of these did not believe that they possessed psychic healing powers. As a result, four of these showed "gifted" powers. The different abilities levels of these people show that only few have PK to any substantial degree. The major significance of this pioneering work is that man may nentally affect other biological processes. No matter how this is viewed by some orthodox medical conservatism, the results of these experiments seem to indicate that in the future there will be more and broader advancements in research. If we can determine that the will has an effect on live organis;sms, then this will be of unmeasurable benefit to mankind. 7s. Psychic Abilities in Animals: A house cat set out on her own from California and found her own master who had moved to Oklahoma. Just before disaster struck, a hunting dog showed signs of unusual restlessness. Part of the reason people take notice of animal psychic phenomenon, is the phenomenon itself. More important is that following the discovery of man's psychic ability, man began to pursue research into animal psychic behavior. Wher does ESP come from? Is it hereditary? If it is, then | is it a point in evolution? If it is a natural gift of man, is it a quality of all organisms? It is difficult to answer these questions. Not only does parapsychology want to know if ESP abilities were lost or - matured in the evolutionary process, but also assumes that if animals really have ESP abilities, they may be easier to prove than man's. They may be easier to research. It is because of these two reasons that experiments attempting to discover if animals had psychic abilities were begun several years ago. -86-— Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300330001-8
