IRS990/Desc0I.The Subtle Energy Research Project is a fundamental scientific research project to detect and measure the presence of putative subtle energies associated with biofield practitioners, energy healers, the intention to heal, and laying on of hands. We hypothesize that these energies, if present, are not conventional energies, and may require new instrumentation, or that they may be extremely low level electromagnetic energy. In 2014, we developed and built a customized array of detectors, including environmental, putative subtle energy, and some that monitor the physiology, and conducted research using this array. Principal investigators are Harry Jabs, M.S., physicist/engineer, and Beverly Rubik, Ph.D., biophysicist. This basic science investigation is ongoing and continued in 2015 and beyond.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0II.Project Lightbeam is a clinical research project to investigate if visible light stimulation of diabetic subjects who report dysregulated blood glucose will improve their blood sugar regulation, among other physiological parameters. This project is still being planned at this time and has 3 principal investigators: Martha Howard, M.D., Alice Nixon, MA (of Light and Sound Healing, Inc.), and Beverly Rubik, Ph.D. We plan to contract most of this grant to another nonprofit organization to conduct the main study in 2016-2017, and we will conduct a smaller pilot in the future.
