laboratory measurements were taken during the 1st, 4th and 16th sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Skin temperature turned out to be a difficult variable to work with, due to the wide variability in temperature apparently not related to the experimental situation.\u00a0 The strongest results were observed in the 4th session.\u00a0\u00a0 During the session baseline, the difference between hand and foot temperatures of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (t(13,11) = 2.49, p = .02).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The 16th session did not yield significant differences between the experimental and control groups.\u00a0 However, in the experimental group, there was a correlation of r(9) = -.56 (p = .07) of hand temperature increase with the number of days it took to complete the 16 sessions.\u00a0 That is, those subjects who were more consistent in using the appliance may have obtained better results, though statistically the result is only suggestive due to the small sample size.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In contrast, in a clinical follow-up study with five subjects and no control group, we found that all subjects had a substantial increase in hand temperature following three sessions on the appliance (Mean increase = 8.4 degrees F, SD = 3.3).\u00a0 This increase was well in excess of that seen in either the experimental or control groups in the previous study.\u00a0 One important difference was that in the clinical study, use of the appliance was closely supervised, whereas in the blind study most of the appliance sessions were conducted by the subjects alone in their homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For more information, click on one of the following topics:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meridianinstitute.com\/the-radio-active-appliance-really-works\/\">The Radio-Active Appliance Really Works<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meridianinstitute.com\/improvement-of-circulation-using-the-radial-appliance\/\">Improvement of Circulation Using The Radial Appliance<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meridianinstitute.com\/energy-medicine-appliances-used-in-meridian-institute-research-projects\/\">Energy Medicine Appliances Used in Meridian Institute Research Projects<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/>\n<p><a id=\"PSORIASIS\" name=\"PSORIASIS\"><\/a><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">PSORIASIS PROJECT<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Six individuals participated in a 10-day live-in instructional\/treatment program in November, 1995, in which they were taught the elements of the Edgar Cayce therapies for Psoriasis.\u00a0 Utilizing Dr. John Pagano&#8217;s ground-breaking work treating psoriasis with the Cayce approach, special attention was paid to intestinal permeability (&#8220;leaky gut syndrome&#8221;).\u00a0 The Cayce perspective on psoriasis is that this condition is usually caused by a thinning of the walls of the small intestines allowing toxins to leak into the circulatory system.\u00a0 The body reacts by eliminating the poisons through the skin producing psoriatic lesions.\u00a0 The treatment rationale was to heal the gut, decrease toxicity in the system, and provide symptomatic relief as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The therapies included dietary changes, colonic irrigations, castor oil packs, spinal manipulations, herbals teas and psycho-spiritual modalities to address the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the disease.\u00a0 The participants then returned home to continue these therapies for six months, submitting daily logs of compliance with the protocol.\u00a0 Subjects returned after six months for follow-up assessment.\u00a0\u00a0 Intestinal permeability assessments indicated that most of the subjects had abnormally leaky intestines.\u00a0 The subjects with leaky gut profiles also responded well to treatment.
