“Very infrequently, a scientist comes along whose work leads to a quantum change in the quality and significance of research in some field. Such a scientist is William Bengston who is responsible for such a change in the recondite field of anomalous healing. His results are so extraordinary as to eclipse all previous work in that field. Bengston would be a prime candidate for a Nobel Prize in Alternative Medicine, if such an award existed” - nuclear physicist Peter Sturrock, emeritus professor of applied physics at Stanford University

"Great advances in science and medicine often occur at the edge of knowledge, where things don't fit in. Often the misfits are dismissed by conventional thinkers without a hearing. Where William Bengston's work is concerned, this would be a profound mistake, because many precise scientific studies now confirm that healers and healing are real. Somewhere along the line, physicians forgot how to heal, and ‘healing’ became an embarrassment. Bengston is a harbinger of a marvelous trend: the return of healing to medicine" - Larry Dossey, internist and author

Over the past 35 years, WILLIAM BENGSTON PhD has cured a wide variety of cancers, along with other life-threatening diseases, using an original hands-on technique which is noninvasive and produces no side-effects. Many of his cures have been supported with blood tests, X-rays and CT scans. To his knowledge, no person he’s cured of cancer has ever experienced a reoccurrence.

Frustrated by having his cures dismissed as “too good to be true,”.Bengston turned to the laboratory to validate his method. In his first experiment, conducted by skeptical biologists at Queens College, City University of New York, mice were injected with mammary cancer guaranteed to produce 100 per cent fatality within 27 days. Through hands-on healing, 100 per cent of the mice survived to live a normal two-year lifespan! This experiment, with minor variations, was successfully replicated nine more times at five biological and medical laboratories. Just as astonishing, re-injected mice did not get cancer, suggesting they’d developed an immunity, sparking hopes for the discovery of a cancer vaccine.

Bengston’s science-based method has nothing to do with faith-healing. Tests with fMRIs and EEGs prove that when he begins to heal, the brainwaves and hearts of human patients in different rooms synchronize with his. He has published his cancer research in prestigious peer-reviewed publications in the alternative medical field and was enthusiastically interviewed by New York cardiologist Dr. Mehmet Oz on Oprah & Friends. Dr. Oz considers energy healing to be thecutting edge of medicine of the future.

Eastern healing practices, such as acupuncture, are based on the belief that an invisible energy field pervades the human body. Today millions of people are turning to alternative healing because of disenchantment with Western drug and techno-based medicine. Bengston is not a medical doctor. He is a tenured sociologist at St. Joseph’s College in New York. This is typical of energy healers since medical doctors in many jurisdictions could lose their license for practising alternative medicine.

The story of how Bengston discovered, and proved, his healing talent against a mountain of prejudice is a fascinating one. In taking this journey with him, you will meet his eccentric mentor, Ben, along with patients like 4-year-old Ryan, diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a nasty cancer usually leading to removal of one or both eyes, followed by brain tumours and death.

"Bill Bengston is a ...criminologist, sociologist, statistician, college professor, cancer researcher, energy healer. An expert in all these fields! I have been in Bill's orbit observing him engage others in rich dialogue. The consistent effect of his thesis of life challenges even brilliant minds to rethink their foundational assumptions. Bill's mesmerizing memoir reads like a novel."
- Francesca McCartney, PhD Founder & President, Energy Medicine University and Author of "Body of Health: The New Science of Intuition Medicine."

“I believe that energy healing’s time will come in the next ten years and that William Bengston’s work will be seen as a milestone in that process. We’re already experiencing a meltdown of faith in materialistic systems, and that includes the grip of the profit-driven pharmaceutical industry on medical practice” - Dr. Edward Mann, Canadian sociolgist and energy healing historian

“Professor William Bengston is shaking the foundations of medical research. What is at stake is the entire clinical trial process. In carefully carried out experiments Professor Bengston showed dramatic healing of cancer tumors in mice using energy medicine. By tracing the path of healing intention he has found that it follows surprising turns and is not easy to control. The simple model of a controlled study does not work in medicine. Bengston’s story is one of breakthrough discoveries and a fascinating tale that is not yet complete.” - Garret Moddel, Professor of Electrical Engineering, Department of Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering, University of Colorado.

"Bill Bengston has all the creds and talent to make it big-time in main-stream academia, but he also has the guts to stick to what he sees and knows, and tell us about it, even if it is way out of the box. Here we have his very exciting adventures in healing with decidedly anomalous results. It is to Bill's great credit that he tells it like it is and sustains the contact with this mind-bending material so that it is neither distorted, ignored, or blown out of proportion. Really excellent work!" - Richard A. Blasband, M.D., formerly on the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry at Yale Medical School.

"Bengston's research on the healing of cancer in mice is an eye-opener, both for its direct implications and for what it says about the difficulty of gaining acceptance for unconventional results no matter how well documented. His methodology is clear, his results are unambiguous, and several experiments strongly suggest that his healing technique is teachable. Whether you're a healer, a doctor, a biologist, or simply an interested citizen, you owe it to yourself to find out what Bill has been learning over the last two decades." - York Dobyns - Princeton physicist
