摘要
In his lifetime Franz Anton Mesmer was branded a charlatan by the scientific community on account of his claim of being able to cure many sickness and medical problems though animal magnetism.Notwithstanding this,although his specific claim to possess the power of animal magnetism has been discounted,his methods have had a vast influence in every branch of mental healing and spiritual healing and healing thru hypnotism as well as New Age techniques that involve not only―the power of suggestion‖but also the physical―laying on of hands.‖This article reviews Mesmer‘s techniques,and gives a broad overview of all the other branches of mental and spiritual healing where his methods are still used in one way or another,and presents recent scientific research that completely vindicates Mesmer‘s original claim to possess the power of being able to manipulate the―magnetic fluid‖in the living organism.It is now known from radiogenetics that the ferritin in our bodies can be manipulated not only by electromagnetic radiation(radio waves)but also by magnetic fields.
