Original Toronto Star caption: Laboratory mice and plants have been used to show the energy released by the rite of laying on of hands in experiments conducted by Prof. Bernard Grad, a biologist at the Allan Memorial Institute of Psychiatry at McGill University, with healer Oskar Estebany, because it rules out the possibility of suggestion affecting the subjects. Research has indicated that mood of person holding a plant will affect its growth. [Incomplete]
