PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLA. -- Valerie V. Hunt, Ph.D., internationally known for her pioneering research of human energy fields, will be the keynote speaker at Beyond the Dura '99, a biennial research conference sponsored by The UI Foundation (UF). The conference will be held April 28 - May 2, 1999, in the Palm Beach, Fla. area at The Jupiter Beach Resort.
Credited as the first to measure vibration patterns during pain, disease and illness, Dr. Hunt found scientific evidence of individualized field signatures and subtle energetic occurrences between people and groups. Her findings and human energy field model based on 25 years of research are outlined in her book Infinite Mind: Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness.
