About Hands-On Healing

Over the past 35 years Ive successfully treated many types of cancerbone,
pancreatic, breast, brain, rectal, lymphatic, stomach, and leukemiaas well as other
diseases, all using a hands-on technique that is painless, noninvasive, and has no
unpleasant side effects. To my knowledge, no person Ive treated has ever experienced a
reoccurrence.
As I will detail in Hands-On Healing, the effectiveness of this treatment has now
been proven in 10 controlled animal experiments, and conducted in five university
medical and biological laboratories by trained, skeptical researchers. Though my initial
response to the validity of hands-on healing was one of incredulity, the accumulation of
replicable scientific data has overwhelmed my own disbelief. I have become a failed
skeptic.
My animal research reverses the classic experimental model. I did not begin by
testing mice in a lab, producing a theory that now awaits human application. I went into
the lab to verify and gain insight into a procedure that Id already successfully used to
treat many people with a variety of medical problems, namely cancer.

Admittedly, much remains to be learned about how my treatments work. Does
hands-on healing kill cancer, or does it stimulate the body through its own immune
system to heal itself? Since the mice we cured became immune to further cancer
injections, could the blood of cured mice be used to develop a vaccine? Given that my
clinical patients have experienced no known reoccurrence, could the same experimental
process be used to produce a cancer vaccine for humans? What happens between healer
and patient during hands-on treatments? Is energy or information exchanged? How are
their brains affected?
Recently, Ive directed my curiosity toward a question with broad clinical
application: Can others learn hands-on healing? Since most cultures have independently
produced a tradition of hands-on healing, it seems reasonable to assume that this ability
may be distributed throughout any population much like artistic or musical talent. If so,
how can people possessing this ability uncover and utilize it?
Consistent indicators of healing success include beginning a treatment with a clear
intention to heal; an altered state of consciousness; an ability to bring the brain into peak
focus; a sense of unity with the person or organism to be healed; a sense of being in touch
with an external source of power; and a shedding of the ego in order to get out of the
way.
Unravelling the mystery of hands-on healing has been the passion driving much of
my work over the past three decades. What I am sure of, through personal experience, is
that this kind of healing is a natural system, not a magical one, which is why its also an
imperfect one. Sometimes I can help and sometimes I cant. What I endeavor to do is to
offer patients the whole spectrum metaphorically, white light with the hope that they
can gain from it what they need in order to return to health. Thats different from my
healing them, though out of habit I still use that word. Its also why Im always surprised
when patients thank me for restoring them to health. While those were my hands moving
around, I never feel as if I was the healer.
My hope is that all those who listen to this program take from it an expanded
sense of the resources offered by the Universe, along with a greater awareness of their
own potential in calling upon that abundance, not only for healing but for all aspects of
life. The possibilities are infinite. The limitations are our own. Not faith and, not belief,
but trust.

Hands-On Healing: A Training Course in the

Energy Cure
William Bengston, PhD
Please read the following disclaimer before listening to the program:
The information presented in the six session audio program Hands-On Healing:
A Training Course in the Energy Cure (further referred to as the program) is
educational in nature and is provided only as general information. As part of the
information contained in the program, understand that you will be introduced to the
basics of the energy healing method William Bengston, PhD, developed, which is
identified as the Bengston Energy Healing Method (further referred to as the
method).
The method consists of two steps. The first is to create a list (as discussed in
the program) and the second is to perform a technique Dr. Bengston calls cycling (also
discussed in the program) while applying a hands-on healing technique. The method
engages energy fields and systems that are natural to each person and the Universe. The
premise is that the method creates changes in the energy or spiritual aspects of the client,
which then can manifest in the physical body. So when a qualified and authorized method
practitioner works with a client using the method, the practitioner is connecting to the
energy or spiritual bodies of the client, not the physical body. Therefore, when Dr.
Bengston uses the words treatment or treat/s, they are used solely in the context of
working with the clients energy or spiritual bodies and not the physical body, which is
the domain of the medical field and other allied health-care professionals.
The method is a powerful alternative hands-on healing approach that Dr.
Bengstons published research with animal populations has shown to be effective.
Although the method appears to have promising physical, mental, and spiritual health
benefits for humans, it has yet to be fully researched by the Western academic, medical,
and psychological communities and therefore is considered experimental for human
application. Thus, the method would be considered alternative or complementary to
the healing arts that are licensed in the United States. Understand there is a distinction
between healing using the method and the practice of medicine or any other licensed
health care practice. Dr. Bengston has a PhD in sociology and is not a medical doctor or
other licensed health-care professional.
Listening to the program and learning about the method is not a substitute for
medical or psychological treatment. Understand that you are advised to continue any
medical or psychological treatment that youre currently receiving. In addition,
understand that any information contained in the program is not to be considered a
recommendation that you stop seeing any of your health-care professionals without
consulting with your health care professional. You agree to take full responsibility for
