Science and Crystal Healing
Though Science denies it. At the University of London in 2001, A French and his colleague at Goldsmith College present a paper in at British Psychological Society Centenary Annual Conference in Glasgow. They pin pointed the efficacy of crystal healing. They made experiments by engaging 80 participating with crystal quartz or a fake crystal but the participants believed they were real. During 5 minutes of holding crystals in hand, no warmth or changing effect was noticed on their body. After meditation, the people answered questions about their feelings during the crystal healing session. The result was same with those who hold fake or real crystal quartz.
"There is no evidence that crystal healing works over and above a placebo effect," French told Live Science. "That is the appropriate standard to judge any form of treatment. But whether or not you judge crystal healing, or any other form of [complementary and alternative medicine], to be totally worthless depends upon your attitude to placebo effects."
