Yet Rosa could not find any evidence that it works. To provide such proof, TT therapists would have to sit down for independent testing--something they haven't been eager to do, even though James Rand has offered more than $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate the existence of a human energy field. (He's had one taker so far. She failed. ) A skeptic might conclude that TT practitioners are afraid to lay their beliefs on the line. But who could turn down an innocent fourth grader?. Says Emily: "I think they didn't take me very seriously be cause I'm a kid."
The experiment was straight forward: 21 TT therapists stuck their hands, palms up, through a screen. Emily held her own hand over one of theirs left or right and the practitioners had to say which hand it was, When the results were recorded, they'd done no better than they would have by simply guessing. If there was an energy field, they couldn't feel it.
Which of the following is an evidence that TT is widely practiced?
A.TT has been in existence for decades.
B.Many patients were cured by therapeutic touch.
C.TT therapists are often employed by leading hospitals.
D.More than 100,000 people are undergoing TI' treatment.
Emily's mother Linda Rosa, a registered nurse, has been campaigning against TT for nearly decade. Linda first thought about TT in the late 1980s, when she learned it was on the approved list for continuing nursing education in Colorado. Its 100,000 trained practitioners (48,000 in the U. S. ) don't touch their patients. Instead, they waved their hands a few inches from the patient's body, pushing energy fields around until they are in "balance". TT advocates say these manipulations can help heal wounds, relieve pain and reduce fever. The claims are taken seriously enough that TT therapists are frequently hired by leading hospitals, at up to $ 70 an hour, to smooth patients' energy, sometimes during surgery.
