The Bengston Method - the future of healing?

William Bengston (born 1950) is an American sociologist based at St. Joseph's College in New York. He co-invented, via some detours, a modality that cures mice infected with aggressive breast cancer to over 94% in the laboratory. In 18 rigorously scientific laboratory experiments (including 4 at medical universities), the effect was replicated not only with Bengtson himself as the healer, but with numerous other people who had learned his method.

Problems & weak points of the Bengston method

After 2,000 hours of practice in the Bengston method, I have gained a lot of experience and some highly interesting insights especially why the mouse model is NOT applicable to humans. In this article from October 2023 you will find out all the details about why the Bengston method was a letdown after all..

A Freak & His Assistant: How It All Began

In his 20s, Bengston spent a lot of time with a person who claimed to have psychic abilities. In fact, Ben Mayrick could dissolve clouds at will or tell the backstory to an object he didn't know. In addition, he was proficient in other extrasensory "tricks." What began as party fun brought the two to the subject of healing one day.


Mayrick reported to Bengston that by playing an extremely rapid sequence of images in his mind's eye, he was able to initiate a flow of energy through his hands. The resulting healing successes proved him right and soon Mayrick was a sought-after energy healer.

Bengston, a regular assistant to Mayrick, had by now finished his studies as a sociologist and was very scientifically oriented. He wanted to find out what was behind all the "hocus-pocus," as he calls it to this day. So he tried to perform a healing process under strictly tested conditions in a university laboratory.

And he did indeed succeed in obtaining 20 laboratory mice infected with an extremely aggressive, fast-growing form of cancer. Ben Mayrick was to demonstrate his healing skills on these mice under laboratory conditions.

On the day the experiment was to start, everyone was present except Mayrick. So, when the thing was about to be stopped before it had really started, the university investigator brought the following idea into play: Bengston, who after all had been familiar with the healer's procedure for some time and had been present at numerous healing sessions, should "play" the healer. And although he thought this was a crazy idea, he finally went along with it.

For one week, he placed his hands on the cage for one hour per day, using Mayrick's technique of extremely rapid cycling of images in his mind, called "image cycling." In another room was a control group of equally diseased mice in a cage that was not treated. Infecting mice with this specific type of cancer is a standard experimental arrangement in cancer research that had been used hundreds of times before.

The cancer kills all mice between 14 and 27 days. This means that even the strongest, most resistant mouse died after 27 days. Whatever method or agent was tested, the aim was always to prolong the lives of the pitiful test animals.

At first, Bengston's energy treatment simply didn't seem to work. Growths formed on all the mice. He soon wanted to stop the experiment, but the experimenter insisted on completing it as planned. After three days, black dots began to appear on the growths. These then developed into open sores, which, however, seemed to heal, accompanied by shrinkage and eventual disappearance of the ulcer.

William Bengston - stepping in as an inexperienced "substitute healer" - had completely cured all the mice of cancer after one week. Not only cured, but even immunized, which meant: If the cured mice were now injected again with the same type of cancer, they now appeared to be immune and did not develop any more ulcers. If the blood of the cured mice was injected into other untreated mice, these also became immune to the "magicked away" type of cancer.

The test result triggered a mixture of enthusiasm, skepticism and astonishment among all those involved - most of all among Bengston himself.

He concluded: If i as an untrained person can heal with the Cycling Method, then others should be able to do the same. He recruited among his students - Bengston worked as an active professor of sociology at New York's St. Joseph's College - six people who had absolutely no connection with the subject of energy healing. He chose those subjects with the greatest possible skepticism and rejection of unconventional healing methods, just as if to prove to himself and the world that the result of this first experiment was just a crazy coincidence.

"I only included students in the experiment who laughed out loud in my face when they heard what it was about."

Prof. W. Bengston

Bengston asked his students to write down their thoughts and feelings during the experimental period in a kind of diary. As can be seen from these notes, several of the participants were convinced that the experiment, as advertised here, was merely a pretext, and that they were in fact subjects in a study of credulity.

The students were given four weeks to learn the cycling technique. After that, the experiment was repeated with the cancer mice and the untreated control group.

To date, the experiment has been conducted a total of eighteen times.

As of 2018, the success rate across all trials is 94.7%, which makes any conventional cancer therapy look old. If the trials in which cells or organisms were treated in the test tube are also included, the effectiveness of the method is even closer to 100 percent.

The Bengston method in practice

The question that now almost arises is: Does this also work in humans? What diseases can be treated and cured by cycling?

The summary findings from over 40 years of research in the Bengston Method are:  

  • Cycling can eliminate problems in the body that require something to be taken away. For example, malignant cancer cells, or the plaque in the brain of an Alzheimer's patient, as well as all inflammation-related conditions.
  • There is no effect on benign ulcers. This leads to the conclusion that only an organism with an acute need for healing responds to Bengston Cycling.
  • In certain diseases, such as Parkinson's or diabetes II, the method also rarely shows success. Bengston suspects that this is the case because there is nothing to take away in these diseases, but rather a lack of something.
  • Cycling can be learned and applied by anyone. It does not matter whether the healer is sensitive, spiritual or a believer. Some feel the flow of energy from their hands, others feel nothing. The same is possible with the receiver. All this has no influence on the effectiveness of the method. However, as in any other field of activity where training and skill play a role, there are people who are particularly effective in cycling (= treating).
  • Cycling seems to initiate a process that allows the sick organism to tap into a healing energy that does not come directly from the healer. The idea that the healer himself sends energy is not considered likely by Bengston. Thus, the Cycling Method turns the conventional notion of the relationship between healer and patient on its head.
  • The Bengston method also works as a remote application. Here the healer holds a photo of the sick person, possibly also a hair sample in his hands. The distance between the healer and the sick person does not seem to matter.
  • It is also possible to "charge" materials by means of cycling. For example, complete healing is achieved even when cancer-infected test animals are fed water that has previously been "charged" using the Bengston method. The "impregnation" of natural cotton works just as reliably. The materials to be charged are held by the handler for about half an hour while he "cycleslt". The great advantage of storing the "energy" (we use this term for lack of a better way to describe it) is twofold: first, healing materials can now be stored and, in the case of cotton, easily shipped. Second, it is possible for the healer to treat himself with these materials, which cannot be done by laying on hands (at least not with the Bengston method). The findings regarding the charging of materials go back to experiments conducted by Bernhard Grad at Mac Gill University in Canada back in the 1960s and 70s.
  • The healing of humans is considered less reliable because of the incredible number of influencing factors. Laboratory mice do not eat junk food, nor do they smoke, they do not have unhealthy sleep patterns or destructive belief patterns, emotions or even karmic entanglements buried in the subconscious. The most important factor, however, is that in animals the phenomenon of spontaneous healing can be ruled out, which is repeatedly brought into the race by doctors as an explanation for healing successes achieved.
  • William Bengston recommends that every patient seeking help learn and apply his method. In many cases he received the answer: "You do it for me. On the one hand, this is based on convenience, but on the other hand, a not insignificant number of patients have no real will to recover. This goes so far that the healer is even met with rejecting feelings after a healing success becomes apparent.
  • Nevertheless, numerous permanent healing successes have been documented in people over the decades, not a few of which were spectacular. For example, a multiple sclerosis patient reported in a seminar led by Prof. Bengston, in which the author was personally present, to be free of relapses since 2012, since she practiced the method.
  • Both in the laboratory and in practice, it has been found that healing with the Bengston Method occurs in spurts. This means that it is not uncommon that for a week there is no improvement in the state of the disease, or even a worsening. Especially in cancer cases, instead of a rapid reduction, a kind of maturation of the tumor has been observed. At the end of the maturation phase, the tumor disappears, again in spurts. For this reason, a treatment period of at least 2-3 weeks is recommended. How many sessions should take place during this period depends on the type of disease and the patient's condition. Since the treatment has no side effects, overdose is not possible.

Decisive factors for the success of treatment

  • The cycling speed of the healer: the faster, the better
  • Group size of patients: It has been found that the larger the group of sick animals, the faster mice heal. Prof. Bengston assumes that this can also be transferred to humans, so it would be ideal to treat several patients with similar ailments in one place. It would be particularly favorable if the patients were to make friends with each other, as then the effect would occur which he calls "resonance connection", which will be discussed in more detail below.
  • Dosage is also important. A seriously ill person will need several and longer treatments than someone with a sports injury. It is important that the appropriate amount of energy is given to achieve maximum success.
  • Cycling on the part of the sick person: if the sick person also practices the cycling technique, there is a multiplier effect
  • The smaller and younger an organism is, the faster it heals. So a mouse heals faster than a dog, which in turn is easier to treat than a human.
  • The sooner an injury or disease is treated after it occurs, the faster it will heal. A cancer that has been present for years will heal more slowly than one that has only recently become rampant. An acutely torn meniscus that is treated immediately will heal much faster than one that is treated days later.
  • An aggressive ulcer heals faster than a slow-growing one. Prof. Bengston says that the speed of healing is the same as the speed of tumor growth. Original quote from Bengston: "The faster something rushes in at the door, the faster it changes direction through treatment and leaves."
  • Also noteworthy is the fact that benign tumors show no response to treatment.
  • Bengston repeatedly emphasizes a crucial factor for his method, especially when teaching it to other people: The practitioner must step back as much as possible and be not focus on active healing, but only on cycling. It's okay to include a picture of the patient in the cycling list, but actively and consciously sending energy is counterproductive, according to Bengston.

"With your pea brain, you can't bring about such a performance. It's a different force at work here, and the more you see yourself as an active part, the more you hinder the process. Avoid rituals at all costs and always take a playful approach."

Prof. W. Bengston
  • A basic requirement is that the patient gives his or her express consent to receive treatment. This also applies if you want to include persons in your cycling list. In the case of children or animals, consent must be obtained from the parents or animal owners. It is not allowed to treat a living being without this explicit agreement.

Learn the Bengston Method

The technique underlying the Bengston method is the "cycling" already mentioned several times. How this works is described in one short sentence: You rotate at least 20 images as fast as possible in your mind. The correct application, however, is a bit more complicated.


The images

We are not talking about just any images, but very specific ones. Each image represents a personal wish of yours, translated into an imagination in which you see yourself in a scenario where the wish has already been realized. Example: You dream of the latest e-bike model of the KTM brand. The price is a bit outside the zone of reason, but this is something you would really like to have. You now put a picture on your list in which you are whizzing over the mountains in full gear on exactly this bike. Proceed in the same way with other wishes in matters of partnership, job, health, finances, etc.

An essential principle of cycling is that the image represents a personal need. A second is that the achievement of this wish image must be classifiable. Vague wishes like "peace for the world", "health" or "more money" have no place on your list.

Bengston repeatedly emphasizes the importance of aligning desires in an ego-centered way. One goal of cycling is to build a strong emotional charge, and that just works best with selfish needs.

Another principle is, other people should not appear in the list - at least for the time being. Because you need their explicit permission to do so. The seriousness with which Bengston emphasizes this requirement is palpable. You can tell Cycling is a powerful tool. Something is being done here. We're not talking about a variation on positive thinking, daydreaming, or meditative immersion.

So you need at least 20 images for your cycling list. This relatively high number prevents you from focusing on a of the wishes. By the way, there is no upper limit. All wishes have the same weighting, regardless of whether it's a new cell phone or the cure for your long-standing back pain. The latter, for example, you would pack into a picture of lifting heavy water bottles into the car, or carrying your partner piggyback across the beach. So you package the wish into an image that can only become possible if what you want has already manifested.

So the first version of your list might look like this:

  • I drive in the new Tesla convertible through Tuscany
  • I sit in the new winter garden and enjoy the light
  • I surf the net with my new tablet computer
  • I swim in the crystal clear water of Seychelles
  • I dash on skis over a mogul slope (currently I have knee problems)
  • etc.

You will probably have some trouble finding 20 things or scenarios right away. But that's normal, and you can spread the process of list creation over a few sessions. The longer you practice the method, the easier it will be for you to find new wish images. Because now you go through life, perceive a pleasant situation or a useful object and immediately put it on your list.

Beginners often make the mistake of listing things to which they have no real emotional connection. My tip: If you have a picture of your list in front of your eyes and inwardly not wildly cheer like a footballer who scored the decisive goal for the Champions League title in the last minute of the match, then remove this image. 

Now comes the second step: each wish in the list is compressed into a single term. So the above example list would now look like this:

  • Tesla
  • Winter garden
  • Tablet
  • Seychelles
  • Mogul track


If you go through the list, you will still see the complete scenario as described above. However, it is now only triggered via a single term.

You will now learn these terms by heart.

My personal tip for this: Approach the project in steps of five. First learn five terms by heart in such a way that you would be able to recite them like a shot if you were woken up from a deep sleep at night. 

Once you have internalized the first five list items, move on to the next group of five.

Many people have a problem with memorization these days. If you feel the same way, remember the time when you learned to drive a car. Even then, the variety of factors to consider at the same time seemed overwhelming. How many road signs did you have to be able to interpret correctly for the test? Today, however, you move your car without any conscious input. You have automated it. It will be the same for you with cycling.

And another little encouragement: It's worth the effort! Even if you have nothing to do with healing, you will find that some scenarios from your list actually become reality. So, in truth, we are dealing here with a very powerful manifestation method which - quite incidentally - produces inexplicable healing effects.


The rotation

As soon as you can recite a group of five by heart, the following task is added to the learning of further desired images: mentally recite the images to yourself in ever faster succession. One image should take no more than one second. Now comes the next step. You must speed up. Much faster. To make this possible, say goodbye to the word on the list and now hold only the corresponding mental image. For example, imagine that your images are each visible on the blades of a windmill. The windmill is spinning, image after image is happening in front of your mind's eye. The speed of rotation increases constantly, and at a certain speed the individual images blur into an indefinable something.

Alternatively, imagine 20 unrelated images on an old-fashioned filmstrip, which are now projected onto the screen at a frequency of 16 frames per second. You would not be able to clearly describe a single frame, yet you see the whole movie.

I have found for myself the following method, which Prof. Bengston considers also efficient:

Imagine you are sitting on a high-speed train. The carriage you are sitting in is open on all sides. The train leaves the station, and as it starts moving, you roll through your first scenario, with the first power pole you roll past projecting a hologram of your first desired image into the car. At the next pole, the second scenario is played, and so on. As the train speeds up, you race through your list. In the beginning, you can still distinguish the individual wish situations from each other like rooms moving through each other quickly. But at some point, the train becomes so fast that all the scenarios are happening simultaneously all around you. In other words, you see yourself in a future where all the wishes from your list are a reality all around you, projected holographically superimposed into your carriage.

The idea with the high-speed train worked very well for me. You can also develop this idea in many directions. For example, the train could encounter obstacles (of life) and sweep them out of the way with a loud crash.

Your train can roll slowly in the beginning and be powered by a cozy steam locomotive at first. Later, you'll swap the steam locomotive for a magnetic train that speeds through the area at 600 km/h.

But you may find entirely different tools to accelerate your cycling list toward the speed of light. In this regard, William Bengston emphasizes in every third sentence, "Be playful!"

If one of the wish images comes true, it must be removed from the list.

It is a great challenge to modify a well-learned list because the old images that now need to be removed have become deeply engraved in your memory. Therefore, it may be helpful to learn a completely new list.

Resonance Connections & Placebos

In the following, we will look at the scientific methodology, one or the other astonishing effect and the resulting theories. Should you attach little importance to the scientific consideration of the subject, you can skip this chapter.

To understand the work of William Bengston and the extraordinary successes achieved with his method, one factor deserves special consideration: "Resonant Bonding".

This is a term coined by Bengston himself to describe a phenomenon that, according to conventional logic, should not exist. When a mouse experiment was performed, a number of laboratory mice were treated and a second batch of mice was kept in another room and not treated. These untreated mice constituted the control group, i.e., they were to serve as a comparison to evaluate how successful the treatment was.

Now, however, the effect regularly occurred that the untreated control mice were also cured! You remember, we are talking about a standard model in cancer research, which has been carried out a thousand times, according to which nobody before Bengston succeeded in keeping such an infected mouse alive for more than 27 days.

Here we suddenly have a situation in which not only cancer healing by laying on of hands takes place very reliably, but moreover the control mice remit in high numbers and thereupon can no longer be infected, but rather reach the normal life span of 2 years. At this point at the latest, alarm bells begin to ring shrilly even in people who are open-minded about unusual things.

And William Bengston himself knew least of all what to make of it all. However, after conducting experiment after experiment in accordance with scientific protocols, he was not only able to replicate these unforeseen results, but also found possible explanatory models for them. While these are initially speculative in nature, you must remember that Prof. Bengston is a scientist himself, not an esoteric crackpot.

Let's look at the experimental setup again:

In one laboratory room were the mice that received treatment by laying on of hands, in another room of the same building were the control mice. After about 2 weeks, clearly visible tumors appeared in all the pitiful test animals, which continued to grow over the next few days despite treatment. 

Then suddenly came the news from the laboratory staff that the first mouse of the control group had died. A short time later, the second one died. Now it was an understandable need of the experimenters to see the control mice. They found animals huddled in a heap, obviously not doing well.

The treated mice were also visibly ill, but behaved lively and ran, played and ate normally. The fur still looked good and the eyes were clear. Subsequently, what was the natural human reaction upon seeing the control group?

Compassion, combined with the wish that they may also experience healing. None of them should have to die anymore. Through these intentions of the healer, a resonance connection was created, which made it possible that the control mice were now "co-treated", although they were spatially separated.

In order to understand the differences or parallels in the biological processes of both groups of mice, animals from both groups, treated and control, were sacrificed at regular intervals during some experiments to compare antibody formation.

This is a normal way to study an immune response. It turned out that all the mice studied had produced virtually identical amounts of antibodies, which normally leads to the conclusion that nothing happens at all, i.e. the treatment has no effect.

In fact, however, this is a so-called type 2 error, which means nothing more than that unusual phenomena destroy the comparability of the two groups. Placebo research, by the way, has been devoted to precisely such phenomena for decades. We will go into this in detail in a moment. 

The regular occurrence of this type 2 error led Prof. Bengston to the theory of "resonance connection." In a Article, published in THE JOURNAL OF ALTERNATIVE AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE Volume 13, Number 3, 2007, Bengston, with co-author Margret Moga, reports in detail on this phenomenon:

He assumes that the effect of quantum entanglement known from quantum physics can also occur between living beings and even between living beings and machines (see in this respect also experiment 1 in the chapter "What is intention?").

Quantum entanglement means that particles are in contact with each other and even communicate, although they are spatially separated. When living things form a resonance connection, the ability to distinguish which individual belongs to a group and which does not becomes blurred. Think of the image of a flock of birds or fish.

What could cause a resonance connection? Bengston assumes that consciousness plays the decisive role here.

He hypothesizes the following in this regard:

1. experiences made together could cause the connection. So in the case of the mice, for example, common birth and rearing.

2. but it could also be the consciousness of the experimenter that causes a resonance connection.

The pity effect described earlier and the associated subtle wish that these poor animals may also be healed is a perfect example of the conscious creation of a resonance connection. And this causes - so Bengston speculates - that the control mice are from now on unconsciously "co-treated".

By the way, in this knowledge in some experiments a second control group was brought to another place, which always died.

However, the distance is not the decisive factor here, but the consciousness of the experimenters, which allows a resonance connection to come about or not.

Especially in unconventional healing, successes are often attributed to the placebo effect and thus devalued. But also in conventional research the placebo effect is present and thus a troublesome problem.

A sugar pill can achieve up to 80% of the efficacy of a "real" active ingredient, which is not helpful in research when you want to test efficacy against something that should basically do nothing. Even in a double-blind study, where neither patient nor practitioner knows which pills contain the active ingredient and which are placebos, the practitioner's knowledge of what is being tested in the trial alone can influence the efficacy of the placebo.

This is another indication that consciousness could play a role here. But there are also suggestions that the placebo effect is not only a psychological one. William Bengston told me the following story about this:

"At some point, I got my hands on placebo pills from a long-completed trial. I had them tested by two independent biologists, in vitro (that is, on cell cultures and not on a living organism, author's note). Both found that the pills, which originally served only as placebos, actually had a biological effect, from the drug they were tested against some time ago."

This effect was much smaller than that of the "original", but by definition placebos should basically have no effect at all.

Entire books have been written around the amazing observations and research on the placebo effect, of which "The Science of the Placebo" by the author team Kleinmann/Kusek/Engel, published in BMJ Books 2002 should be highlighted.

Incidentally, to avoid the implications of the placebo effect, a different experimental protocol is often used today: One tries to show that a new drug is not worse than one already on the market, instead of testing it against a placebo.

Bengston's theory of resonance connection could thus also serve as an explanation for the effectiveness of placebos.

The EEG and MRI experiments

Whenever William Bengston is asked how exactly the healing effect of his method can be explained, his answer is always the same: "No idea".

In order to shed some light on the matter, he used measurements of brain activity or frequencies to investigate whether abnormalities could be detected in the brains of patients and healers during a cycling session. For this purpose, the brain wave activity of the healer and the treated person was first measured by means of EEG. It was found that the waves of the treated person approached those of the healer, respectively that regular phase couplings took place. In simple words: Something causes the brain waves of the two persons to synchronize.

You remember: all that the healer does is practice the cycling technique, combined with the fleeting desire to help the one being treated. No concentration, "spiritual" mood, opening of the heart energy (as in the Dispenza method) or invocation of extrasensory helpers is required.

Next, Bengston wanted to find out if the healing effect could be attributed to a certain area of the brain. At the University of Connecticut & the Thomas Jefferson Medical School, the following experiments were therefore conducted, which Bengston refers to as the "MRI experiments":

The brain activity of the healer:

The 'healer' was asked to "turn on and off" cycling activity at 45-second intervals while lying in an MRI brain scanner. To everyone's surprise, a difference in the form of altered activity was again clearly measurable! The results could also be replicated with changing healers.

The brain area with the highest activity during cycling was the posterior region of the frontal lobe and the area behind the eyes.
 

The brain activity of the treated:

Now comes the even more interesting part: In the next set of experiments, the brain activity of the treated was measured in the MRI scanner: The healer, sitting about 7 meters away from the treated, again alternates between cycling "on"' and "off" in a 45-second cycle. The treated in the scanner was unaware of the healer's activity. His job was merely to lie quietly in the MRI scanner.

And again, the hard-to-imagine was measured: The brain of the receiver reacts clearly measurable to the intention of the sender. This can be determined by the synchronization of brain waves in a specific spectrum, or the onset of activity of certain brain areas, as soon as the healer "treats".


Automatic response to a need:

The third experimental arrangement was as follows: A picture and a hair sample from an animal with a cancer condition were placed in 10 conventional envelopes. Represented were dogs, cats, sheep and horses.

In a further 10 envelopes, only blank paper was placed, so that these could not be distinguished from the first envelope group in terms of size and weight. All envelopes were randomized (mixed randomly) so that, as is common in double-blind studies, none of the people involved in the experiment had any idea of the contents. Now, one envelope at a time was placed in the hand of the healer, who was in an MRI brain scanner, and he was asked to practice the Bengston Cycling method.

The result: the areas known to be active for healing showed increased activity only when there was a hair sample and a picture of an animal in an envelope. Thus, the brain of the healer "knew" when it encountered a need - namely that of the sick animal. This result suggests that in the healing process (also) a form of information plays a crucial role, namely whether there is a need for healing or not.

By the way, as a result of this experiment, all animals whose photos and hair samples were used in the experiment were cured!

Energy healing without healer

William Bengston must indeed be understood as one of the very great pioneers in the field of Energetic Healing. He has proven that cancer can be cured by cycling, a technique that can be learned by anyone. He has also shown that this works over any distance and that materials such as water or cotton, previously charged by cycling, can be used for this purpose. For himself, however, this is still not enough, because he says:

"If it's established that materials can store healing energy, why not be able to bottle it, or better yet, make it downloadable as an app, thus enabling energy healing without a healer and thus scaling it on a large scale?"

W. Bengston

What sounds like a joke is actually Bengston's current research subject. The experiments conducted in recent years are no less spectacular than his first laboratory experiments on mice.

In order to be able to store healing energy initially in the form of sound waves, the following experimental arrangement was set up: Three healers, who are in a Faraday cage, i.e. shielded from all known environmental radiation, charge absorbent cotton by the Bengston Cycling method.

This activity is recorded by thirty highly sensitive measuring devices that measure, among other things, the magnetic field in space, electromagnetic frequencies and geomagnetic fields. These measurement data are digitized and played back as sound to cancer cells in an incubator at different time periods. A batch of identical cells in an incubator, which are not exposed to any sounds, serves as a control group.

The result was also clear here: although no quite large effect was achieved as with direct hand application, a statistically relevant change in gene expressions could be measured. Also, 2 genes were isolated that are likely to be particularly significant for healing.

The experiment, which cost several $100,000, was the first of its kind, and William Bengston believes there is still much progress to be made in this area. The detailed experimental setup and results can be read in English here: https://is.gd/ahjvSK


Although W. Bengston's work is still generally ridiculed, this should not obscure the fact that he has both private sponsors and high-profile colleagues on his research team, such as Rupert Sheldrake and Dean Radin.

After learning the Bengston Method, successfully applying it, and researching it down to the smallest detail - some of it in personal contact - I am convinced: The name Bengston will one day have a similar status in the field of energy healing as the name Wright has in the field of aviation.

Summary findings

The central Ideas from this chapter:

  • Cycling is a mental exercise that consists in the extremely fast passage of at least 20 images.
  • The cycler should have an emotional connection to these images - ideal are scenarios or things you wish for.
  • During cycling, a kind of energy transfer to the patient or a storage medium takes place via the hands.
  • Cycling on the one hand induces an unusual brain activity in the healer, on the other hand it ensures that the healer does not consciously involve himself in the healing process. According to Bengston, the latter would hinder the process.
  • Cycling energy can be stored in certain materials, researched are water and absorbent cotton. About these materials is then also a self-treatment possible.
  • Unlike most other methods, it does not require a particular atmosphere, attitude, or even a belief in its effectiveness.
  • The Bengston Method is the only alternative healing method to date that has been proven to be effective for malignant tumors. The faster a tumor grows, the faster it can be made to disappear by cycling, often with the tumor first enlarging and then going into a dissolution process.
  • There are also numerous reports that many inflammatory processes such as Alzheimer's or rheumatism respond well to the method.
  • On the one hand, cycling acts as a spacer between the awake consciousness of the practitioner and the patient, and on the other hand, it connects both to a previously unknown source of power.
  • Cycling can be learned by anyone; however, you should do it exactly according to the given instructions and give yourself several weeks until you really master it.
  • During dozens of laboratory experiments, it was found that in many cases the mice in the control group that received no treatment were also cured. Bengston, who has named this effect "resonance connections," is currently researching resonance connections among humans. To do this, several people with similar medical conditions are treated at the same time.

Problems & weak points of the Bengston method

After 2,000 hours of practice in the Bengston method, I have gained a lot of experience and some highly interesting insights especially why the mouse model is NOT applicable to humans. In this article erfährst du alle Details rund um die why the Bengston method was a letdown after all..
