Previously reported experiments suggest that healing intention focused toward water, or merely taking place in the vicinity of water, affects the hydrogen-oxygen (HO) covalent bonds. This claim was explored in the context of a clinical energy medicine pilot study involving 17 practitioners and 190 participants. In a "direct" test, samples of water were directly treated by the practitioners; in an "indirect" test, aliquots attached to lanyards were worn by practitioners and participants as they were engaged in healing sessions. Samples of laboratory-grade distilled water and Fiji brand water were used in the tests, and the water was analyzed using an Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer equipped with a liquid nitrogen-cooled detector. The comparison of interest was the ensemble average spectrum recorded during pre- vs. post-intentional healing periods in the primary infrared absorption portion of the water spectrum. The analyses indicated that distilled water directly treated by the practitioners resulted in a change in the HO bond at the wavenumber 3200 cm (p < 0.03, two-tailed). No effect was observed with the Fiji water. The distilled water in aliquots worn by practitioners also resulted in a significant change at the same wavenumber (p = 0.0004, two-tailed). No effects were observed in Fiji water aliquots worn by practitioners or participants, or in distilled water worn by participants. This study contributes to previously reported observations suggesting that the structure of water reacts in an anomalous way to healing intentions. Such effects appear to involve some form of energetic influence, but that is not yet well established. Nor is it certain that the observed effect can only be due to intention; it is conceivable, for example, that an unidentified environmental factor may have been responsible for the observed comparisons. However, given similar results observed in several experiments so far, including the present study, further research seems warranted.
先前的报告实验表明，专注于水的疗愈意图，或仅仅发生在水的附近，会影响水的氢氧（HO）共价键。这一说法在一项涉及 17 名从业者和 190 名参与者的临床能量医学试点研究中得到了探讨。在“直接”测试中，从业者直接处理水样；在“间接”测试中，从业者和参与者在进行疗愈过程中佩戴附有样品的挂绳。在测试中使用了实验室级别的蒸馏水和斐济品牌的水，并用配备有液氮冷却探测器的衰减全反射（ATR）傅里叶变换红外（FTIR）光谱仪对水进行分析。感兴趣的比较是在水光谱的主要红外吸收部分的意向疗愈前后的预期间记录的总体平均光谱。分析表明，从业者直接处理的蒸馏水导致 HO 键在 3200 cm 的波数处发生变化（p < 0.03，双侧）。斐济水则没有观察到这种效果。从业者佩戴的蒸馏水样本也导致在相同的波数处发生了显著变化（p = 0.0004，双侧）。从业者或参与者佩戴的斐济水样本以及参与者佩戴的蒸馏水样本均未观察到效果。本研究为先前报告的观察结果做出了贡献，表明水的结构以异常的方式对疗愈意图做出反应。这种效应似乎涉及某种形式的能量影响，但尚未得到很好的确立。也不能确定观察到的效应只能归因于意图；例如，可以设想某个未识别的环境因素可能是导致观察到的比较的原因。然而，鉴于迄今为止包括本研究在内的几项实验中观察到的类似结果，进一步的研究似乎是合理的。
