B.M. Hegde, M.D.

Visiting Professor of Cardiology, University of London

As an internationally acclaimed cardiologist, medical educator, and former Vice Chancellor Hegde has been fighting a battle against the dangerous wrong concepts in modern medicine for decades. He has innovated a new affordable integrated system of healing art based on Indian Ayurveda and many other healing systems clubbed with the mandatory modern emergency hi-tech stuff, to make medical care reach the unreached. He has received awards and honors from all over the globe for his refutative research. His latest book, What Doctors Don’t Get to Study at Medical School, with a foreword by Rustum Roy, could set River Thames on fire.

Henry Heimlich, M.D.

President, The Heimlich Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio

Perhaps one of the world’s best-known physicians, because of his several radical discoveries (the Heimlich Maneuver, and the lesser known, but much more widely used, Heimlich Valve), useful not only for saving choking victims but also for drowning victims with a possible extension to asthma. His newest research on the malariotherapy approach to AIDS continues his tradition of radical approaches to healing.

Wayne Jonas, M.D.

President, Samueli Institute for Information Biology

Professor of the Uniformed Sciences University, Col. Jonas was the first director of the Office of Alternative Medicine of NIH. An authority on the Expectation Effect, aka “meaning response” or the placebo effect, and on homeopathy, Dr. Jonas assumed the first presidency of the Samueli Institute of Information Biology.

Joie P. Jones

Professor of Radiology, University of California Irvine

 A physicist-radiologist professor at U.C. Irvine, deeply involved in obtaining direct evidence on the most advanced instruments to evaluate traditional (ancestral) medical practices, such as acupuncture and pranic healing. His research of fMRI usage for demonstrating the reality of acupoints and workings of pranic healing has received worldwide attention.

Marc Newkirk

Materials Engineering/Technology Commercialization

One of the nation’s leading materials engineers and inventors with more than a hundred U.S. patents to his credit, Newkirk co-founded half a dozen businesses with major industrial partners in the electronics, aerospace, mining equipment, automotive and defense industries based on new materials via new processing technologies. He was elected as a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. He has recently been studying the relationships between consciousness, energy and healing, and the surprising evidence from ancient (high technology) civilizations.

Rustum Roy

Evan Pugh Professor of the Solid State Emeritus, The Pennsylvania State University

Dist. Research Prof. of Materials, Arizona State University; Visiting Prof. of Medicine, University of Arizona

Prof. Roy is one of the world’s leading materials scientists, honored by election to the National Academies of the United States, Russia, Japan, Sweden, and India. He is also recognized as the world’s leading champion of interdisciplinarity and integration of knowledge—science, society, technology, and religion. He has been actively involved in the field of CAM-WPH for the last several years, lecturing and writing widely on summarizing the best-known facts and their potential for the future of science. His recent research on the structure of water is a major contribution.

Director of Research, Institute of Noetic Sciences

Dr. Schlitz is the active director of research at the longest-lived institution dedicated to the scientific study of extraordinary phenomena, such as those lying at the heart of WPH-CAM. She serves as a congressionally appointed Advisory Member for the National Institutes of Health Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and currently serves on the Scientific Program Committee for the Tucson Center for Consciousness Studies.

Professor of Psychology, University of Arizona

Starting on the faculties of Yale and Harvard, Prof. Schwartz, a rigorous experimental psychologist, has become the best-known social scientist studying the extraordinary manifestations associated with WPH-CAM, especially in the survival of consciousness. He is the director of the very first NCCAM funded Center for Biofield Studies at the University of Arizona.

George Sudarshan

Professor of Physics, University of Texas

A theoretician who held chairs both at the world-renowned Center for Theoretical Physics at the University of Texas and at the University of Madras, India, Prof. Sudarshan is steeped in the deep traditions of Indian thought, and in the implication of particle physics theory for human needs such as healing.

Professor Emeritus of Materials Science, Stanford University

Prof. Tiller, former chair of the materials science department at Stanford University, has probably done research personally in the field of WPH-CAM longer than any other senior active physical science professor at a major institution. He authored two key books proposing a theoretical framework underlying the phenomena encountered in WPH.
