An in-depth analysis of the research of Elisabeth Targ. “None of the patients knew which group they had been randomly assigned to, and thus whether they were being prayed for. During the six-month study, four of the patients died – a typical mortality rate. When the data was unblinded, the researchers learned that the four who had died were in the control group. All 10 who were prayed for were still alive.” Po Bronson

Read this article carefully — it’s not what you think. Another quote from the article: “On TV, Targ presented herself as just another medical researcher, but if she spent her entire life in search of the paranormal, it’s not surprising that she eventually found traces of it.”
