Dr. John E. Upledger Shares Thoughts

"I have gone from being a hardline scientist who required proof, to believing that what I see or experience is true, even though I may not know how it happens. I have become a clinical-outcome person who would rather observe and accept what I see than reject an observation, experience, or practice because it has not yet been scientifically proven. If it is very low-risk or totally risk-free, and it seems reasonable, I'll try it. After all, if we can't use something until we understand it, then we shouldn't be using gravity."
