- EXCERPT FROM The Intention Experiment LYNNE MCTAGGART BOOK
Leonard Laskow, an American gynecologist and healer, was recruited by American biologist Glen Rein to test the most effective healing strategy for inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. In his own practice, Laskow believed in establishing an emotional connectedness with his subject - even with cancer cells - before sending out healing. Rein prepared five different petri dishes containing identical numbers of cancer cells and then asked Laskow to send out a different intention while holding each one. Laskow's first intention was that the natural order be reinstated and the cells' growth rate return to normal.
With the next petri dish he was to adopt a Taoist visualization that entails imagining that only three of the cancer cells remained in the petri dish. For the third dish he was not to have an intention, but was simply to ask God to have his will flow through Laskow's hands. He offered unconditional love to the cancer cells, Laskow carried out his only truly destructive intention, by visualizing the cells dematerializing, going into either the light or the "void".

Rein gave Laskow a choise of imagery largely because he was uncertain which visualization would be most effective in oblieterating something. Was it more effective to release an entity by offering it an endpoint (the light), or simply to give it a full range of potential (the void)? As a yardstick of Laskow's effectiveness, Rein would measure the amount of radioactive thymidine absorbed by the cancer cells - an indicator of the growth rate of malignant cells.
Laskow's various intentions had quite different effects. The most powerful were undirected intentions asking the cells to return to the natural order, which inhibited the cancer cells' growth by 39 percent....
Laskow's approach was instructive. The most effective healing intention had been framed as a request, combined with a highly specific visualization of the outcome, but not neccessarily a destructive one. With healing, the most effective approach may no be to destroy the source of the illness, but, as with other forms of intention, to move aside, let go of the outcome, and allow a greater intelligence to restore order.
