Building a quantitative verification tool for the Bengston method

admin — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 14:29:42 +0000

As mentioned in the Yeast experiment thread I am attempting to construct a more controlled environment for the test than just popping gloves over bottles.

I have since started to built a test environment that should allow very precise calibration (I hope). The test only works with programmed water.

Each sample size is 1 liter or 1000cc. It gets split into 5 individual samples of 200cc. To this a pre-defined amount of pulverized sugar is added (5g) and a pre defined amount of yeast. The sugar is added to the water, the dry yeast is pre-hydrated in water and a defined amount is added to the 200ml test water/sugar solution. 5 identical preparations are made with un-programmed water from the same source (Vedica mineral water) as controls.

My setup allows for 3 or these 5-part samples to be tested against the controls at the same time.

All samples are pre-heated to 35C in a water bath (digitally thermo regulated to +-1C) for optimal yeast reaction.

The sample bottles are air tight with a pressure sensor on top which starts recording as soon as the pressure rises above the air pressure.

A Raspberry Pi Pico takes the 20 input streams and sends them via USB to a Linux notebook where they are converted to a graphical representation of the pressure increase vs time elapsed.

There is no telling how and if Bengston water will react to Yeast chemistry but there is a good chance it might. The entire shebang is not cheap but one has to have a hobby, right?

I will continue to report on my progress here - if it works for the water I prepare I will invite others to supply me with one liter of their programmed water to get some baselines (and it may be good to evaluate daily fluctuations in input quality, the effect of "transferring" the information to base water, the time factor - how much is too much and how much is ineffective - and a few other questions.

AI is a Buddhist ...

Or actually: Gemini AI very convincingly and over a longer discussion about existence as such and the whys and how's of it - came to the conclusion that classic Buddhism is the scientifically best ultimate explanation for the question another computer once answered with "42".
This developed over a question I had regarding some aspects of Seth's of Jane Roberts fame world view. But read it for yourself, it is quite enlightening, and considering it comes from an advanced auto-correct machine - quite surprising.

Have I lost my MOJO? Yeast experiments with surprising results.

In the summer of 2026 after a 10 year hiatus from cycling I attempted to get back into the groove. Initially I did some 4 hour 1 liter bottles for a friend with a chronic kidney problem. We did tests before and after and my water had zero effect. Briefly afterwards I handed her 1 liter of tachyonized water (ATT David Wagner) and that seemed to have a positive effect, however the test for that was done much later so its not a 1:1 comparison.

I then continued to program 5 sets of cotton gloves for a friend with arthritis. I know that this is a hard task for Bengston (as of his own admission) but I had been successful in the past so I gave it a shot. Approx 10 hours went into the gloves, the 5 pairs where used for 3 nights each, then discarded, but zero results showed up.

I observed that keeping the cycling going was not a simple task for me anymore - that may be due to age (73 now) or because hypercycling is not like cycling, you cant just pick up where you left off a long time ago.

I decided to try a more scientific approach and the results are shown in the Youtube clips. I have to say I am quite irritated by them. It seems my cycling had the opposite of the expected outcome. It is not neutral - it hindered the CO2 production. In both experiments. I have no idea how and why.

The water I used is from a 1 liter bottle that got 12 x 45 minutes of treatment (the maximum time I can keep it up for now).

While doing the water I had no specific intention towards the outcome although subconsciously I always knew it would be used for this test. But I did not intend it to be "better for yeast" or "healing" or anything in particular. Again, theoretically that should have been a good thing (according to Bengston) - so the results are even more puzzeling.

Now blowing up rubber gloves is not a precise scientific method. But IMO the results still point in the same direction - if I only knew what it meant.

If I had just lost my abilities the results should have been neutral - the same for all 6 bottles. That it has an inhibiting effect puzzles me.

There is no point in watching the entire thing. In experiment 1 you can skip to the middle where you already see the right glove (the control) fully expanded whereas the left is still folded over. This only gets more pronounced towards the end.

In the second experiment the first video shows the setup and the initial condition: the 3 left bottles with programmed water are fully set up first, with a ca. 5 minute lead over the 3 controls. Nevertheless as can be seen in video 2 the control gloves all expand way before the programmed water bottles gloves.

CO2 production is clearly somewhat inhibited. Of course all bottles had the exact same amount of water 200ml, sugar 5g and yeast 2g initially. The ambient temperature was 27 C.

My first "hit"

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 03:33:26 +0000

In 2010 I had just finished running around for 6 weeks with my headphones up and down the beach on a Canary Island listening to the mp3 instructions and "cycling my brains out" when a 10 year old boy with a mid-ear infection walked into my morning coffee shop. I knew him, he was the son of the owner and on his way to the doc to get antibiotic shots. I asked him (and his mother) if I "could try something", them put my hands over his ears and 10 minutes later a happy boy left the place to play outside. mission accomplished. what a bummer! his mom and I where both flabbergasted.

A failure

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 02:15:54 +0000

I had more than one cases where the Bengston technique did not work. This one was special insofar as Bengston suggested that a fast acting cancer is easiest to treat. I met a guy during my day job as a computer consultant who suffered from pancreatic cancer. The docs had given him about 6 month to live. He looked well enough to me but this seems to be part of some cancers that only in the final phase it gets really bad. I prepared 5 litres of water which he said he used, he even requested a second batch which he also got. I never verified if he used it but I assume he did otherwise why ask for more.
When I called his office a year later i was told he had died.

MDs are the worst :-)

During a mediation camp I once treated a young guy who had broken his ankle in a motorcycle accident. He walked on 2 crutches with a plaster on the foot. I offered to treat the pain not thinking I could do much for the broken bone itself (structure is hard). After a 45 min sessions he got up pain free, and even slightly put weight on the foot, still using a crutch. Next morning he came to breakfast with only one crutch, still hobbling but using the broken foot as well. I offered another session and the following morning he walked almost normally complaining about the plaster as it itched. He then went to the hospital to get it removed where the doc took another x-ray, finding the bone without any sign of breaking. His comment: "Taking the first picture the x-ray machine must have malfunctioned". No kidding.

"They will hate you"

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 01:55:13 +0000

One of the stranger aspects is Bill Bengston mentioning that some clients will hate you after a successful cure. Its hard to believe but I got to see it first hand. One day strolling thru Hamburg on my way from breakfast I met an old acquaintance from my younger days with whom I had been hanging out in our local pub, drinking beer and playing pool. He looked like shit. Upon inquiry it became clear he had gone thru a bout of prostrate cancer years ago, then treated with radiation, and he had a recurrence. His prognosis was dire. I offered to prepare some water and also told him that my method may not work because he had radiation treatment in the past but it would not harm him either. I also told him not to make tea from it (he is british). Eventually I delivered 5 litre of water and went my ways, and he promised to keep me informed of the result, even if negative.

He never updated me and when I met him in the streets a few years later he changed to the other side of the road after he recognized me. When I caught up with him he was very squeamish, yes, his cancer was gone but he had forgotten to write the email - and it was obvious that he was VERY uncomfortable in my presence. And of course he had made tea from it. Apparently cooking does not diminish the effectiveness.

I kind of developed my own theory why this behaviour seems frequent. It only occurs in cases of imminently lethal diseases. I think people come with a life plan and if it includes dying of a horrible disease (for whatever reasons of their own) and one takes that away from them they are not too happy about it. Possibly because now they have to do this all over again in another incarnation. Pure speculation of course but I cant think of anything else that makes sense.

A "miracle cure"

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 01:34:38 +0000

I stayed at an ashram in Gujarat/India for a few month a couple of years ago. An older gentlemen in his 80s bugged me daily to help him with his back pain, he could not even sit on a chair without pain (during our 3 x 2 hours sittings). He became sort of a nuisance, although I had explained to him that the method I use would not work on old people and structural defects he kept bugging me on a daily basis, even during lunch and breakfast. Finally one day on the way to the lunch area when he walked next to me I put my left hand over his back just for a second or two, more to make him shut up than with any intent of doing any healing. I didn't even cycle at the moment. He jumped and said "great, it worked" - and I thought "PLACEBO".

Funny enough from that day onwards I saws him sitting down on a cushion at the floor for the remainder of his stay, approx. another 2 weeks. This should not have worked, according to Bengston at least. Its the only such case I ever encountered.

The 10 videos series - Pancreatic Cancer Research at MD Anderson

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 01:23:00 +0000

Overview

This presentation and panel discussion—hosted by Amy Seville alongside Margaret Nice and practitioner John Levak—breaks down a peer-reviewed study published in Cancer Medicine by researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center (led by Drs. Lorenzo Cohen and Peiying Yang). The study evaluated the effects of the Bengston Energy Healing Method on pancreatic cancer models across in vitro cell lines, patient-derived organoids, and in vivo animal subjects.

Key Discussion Themes & Timestamps

Background and Paper Overview

Amy Seville introduces the publication, noting that it represents one of the first major studies from a premier institution (MD Anderson) evaluating the Bengston method under rigorous, controlled laboratory settings.
Multi-Layer Study Design

The experimental design featured four independent layers of evidence to ensure reproducibility:
1. Multiple human and murine pancreatic cancer cell lines.
2. Patient-derived mini-tumor organoids to mimic real human tissue response.
3. Orthotopic mouse models (both human-derived and mouse-derived tumors in the pancreas).
4. Three separate trained practitioners (John Levak, Laura Shalliker, Eric Bates) to eliminate single-healer bias.
Key Biological Findings & Specificity

Treated cancer cells exhibited significantly slower growth rates compared to both sham controls (untrained individuals mimicking hand motions) and incubator controls. Crucially, non-cancerous healthy control cells showed no adverse suppression, indicating cancer-specific targeting.
Clinical Context and Future Human Trials

The speakers clarify that while these preclinical laboratory results are notable, they do not constitute clinical proof of human efficacy. They emphasize the necessity of continuing conventional oncology care, discussing how MD Anderson is exploring complementary clinical trial protocols for pancreatic cancer patients.
Practitioner Experience During Trials

John Levak answers audience questions regarding his internal mental process during the lab tests—confirming he followed the standard rapid image cycling list without focusing on the disease or outcome, maintaining a neutral, detached stance.
