We hypothesize that these energies, if present, are not conventional energies, and may require new instrumentation, or that they may be extremely low level electromagnetic energy. In 2012, we investigated interfacial water near membranes, investigating the exclusion zone effect, to observe whether purported energy healers could influence water at membranes, but none was found. Principal investigators are Harry Jabs, M.S., physicist/engineer, and Beverly Rubik, Ph.D., biophysicist. This basic science investigation with other physical targets continues in 2013 40028 150000 II.Project Lightbeam is a clinical research project to investigate if visible light stimulation of diabetic subjects who report dysregulated blood glucose will improve their blood sugar regulation. This project is still being planned at this time and has 3 principal investigators: Martha Howard, M.D., Alice Nixon, MA (of Light and Sound Healing, Inc.), and Beverly Rubik, Ph.D. The project will require IRB (Institutional Review Board) approval for use of human subjects in research. We will be using an FDA-approved medical device for this study. We spent several months in 2012 planning the study , and have prepared some of materials for IRB approval, including subject questionnaires and other forms, the protocol for working with the subjects, and determined all physiological measurements, including blood sugar, heart rate variability, and blood pressure. The study will be conducted in 2013-14. 17966 III.The Biophoton Project is a small pilot research project to design and construct a biophoton counting chamber for holding 2 to 3 persons and to use a state-of-the-art photodetector to measure the physical light emitted from the human body at various locations on the body. The purpose of this study is to construct a custom chamber and measurement device to measure the ultraweak light emitted from the human body and other organisms. We have completed this project successfully in 2012 and demonstrated it using a few human subjects. We found that for the 6 energy healing sessions that we measured, each was unique in terms photon emission patterns over time. As this was a very small pilot study and virtually all of the funding went to pay for supplies for constructing the biophoton measurement chamber, we did not have sufficient funding to conduct a large enough study for publication. 3350 3350 116324 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 false 0 false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 3 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false CA X Beverly Rubik 5104284084 6114 LASALLE AVE PMB 605 OAKLAND CA 94611 RICHARD ADAMS 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NICK HERBERT 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BEVERLY RUBIK 20.00 0.00 X X 50000 0 0 50000 0 false false false 0 254857 254857 PRODUCT SALES,NET 5108 5108 5108 8034 8034 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 267999 13142 0 0 0 0 50000 45000 5000 0 0 0 0 0 0 75 75 99 99 0 0 0 0 0 186 186 599 599 0 12455 12455 1580 1580 0 790 790 0 0 1345 1345 0 TELEPHONE 530 530 UTILITIES 944 944 LAB SUPPLIES 12154 12154 CONSULTANTS 40258 40258 689 483 206 121704 116324 5380 0 24134 163723 268129 276180 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 80315 75815 5845 4500 0 0 0 0 60406 66071 358514 510474 0 0 X 354014 354982 4500 155492 358514 510474 358514 510474 146295 5665 X false false false X 35210 31500 49934 27370 259965 403979 0 0 0 0 35210 31500 49934 27370 259965 403979 0 0 403979 11777 11415 9331 5547 8034 46104 0 11777 11415 9331 5547 8034 46104 0 0 46987 42915 59265 32917 267999 450083 0.89760 0.43900 0.10240 0.16850 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 80315 75815 4500 4500 66071 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process REVIEW CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ORGANIZATION BYLAWS Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: III.The Biophoton Project is a small pilot research project to design and construct a biophoton counting chamber for holding 2 to 3 persons and to use a state-of-the-art photodetector to measure the physical light emitted from the human body at various locations on the body.
