Wofür die Forscher 556752.00 Euro ausgegeben haben, die "Heiler" jedoch kein Geld bekamen, ist eine gute Idee für eine Frage. Manche Forschung (be)dient sich selbst, soll heißen, sie liefert Brennstoff und Kohle für die, die die Studie machen.

Administratorin Hallo Stella,
Jürgen gab mir gerade eine Mail rein mit den Mitteilung über die EUHEALS Kosten.

Project Acronym: EUHEALS
Title: Efficacy if distant healing - a four armed randomized study
Subject Index : Life Sciences; Medicine, Health; Scientific Research; Social Aspects
Objective: Little is known about distant healing, an alternative treatment. Patients suffering from multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or functional memory disorder (FMD), who have no clear treatment option are controlled trial of distant healing in 400 patients. They will be randomised to
a) receive healing and know this,
b) receive healing without knowing,
c) Wait and know this and
d) wait without knowing. Study target will be health related quality of life (SF36) after 6 months of treatment/waiting. Patients will be enrolled by environmental clinics and treated by healers all over Europe. We thereby expect to provide information for an evidence-based decision of regulatory and reimbursing authorities.

Das Ergebnis der Studie, die Bundesregierung wird es nicht verstecken, auch nicht das Bundesgesundheitsministerium, die interessiert solcher Blödsinn nämlich nicht.
Wenn es jemand verstecken wird, dann die "Heiler". Denn es ist vernichtend:

Distant healing study finds no benefit for chronic fatigue syndrome
ABSTRACT
Walach H Bosch H Lewith G Naumann J Schwarzer B Falk S Kohls N Haraldsson E Wiesendanger H Nordmann A Tomasson H Prescott P Bucher HC Effectiveness of distant healing for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome: a randomised controlled partially blinded trial (EUHEALS). Psychother Psychosom 2008; 77: 158–66
Aim
To evaluate the effectiveness of distant healing in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and examine the influence of blinding on outcomes.
Design
Multicentre trial with patients randomised in a 2 x 2 factorial design. Half the patients received intervention and half were put on a 6-month waiting list; half of each of those groups was blinded and half unblinded.
Setting
Patients were assigned to one of 14 private practices for environmental medicine in Germany and Austria.
Participants
A total of 409 adult patients who fulfilled the Fukuda criteria for chronic fatigue or the Oxford criteria for severe idiopathic CFS.
Intervention
From a pool of 462 healers from 21 European countries and various healing traditions, each participant was assigned three healers. Healers were free to use any distant healing approach at whatever intensity and frequency was in accordance with their normal practice.
Main outcome measures
The primary outcome measure was self-reported mental health as measured by the Mental Health Component Summary score of the validated German version of the general health questionnaire (SF-36). The secondary outcome measure was self-reported physical health as measured by the Physical Health Component Summary (PHCS) score of the SF-36.
Main results
No significant differences were found between the four groups on the primary outcome. With the secondary outcome, no significant differences were found between those initially treated and those blinded who were not treated. A significant difference was found between the blinded groups and the unblinded groups (P = 0.03). The group that did not receive intervention and knew this showed no change in PHCS score, whereas the three other groups showed some improvements, although not with statistical significance.
Authors' conclusion
'In patients with CFS, distant healing appears to have no statistically significant effect on mental and physical health but the expectation of improvement did improve outcome.'
