Believe It Or Not

In the Brisbane Courier Mail this morning I read about a research team scouring Gold Coast hinterland for signs of existence of yowies. The was an article by Geoff Shearer. Believe it or not, this is serious scientific research.

Ranae Holland, research biologist, has a Bachelor of Science degree and is part of the yowie research team, but remains a sceptic at this stage. In case you are new to Australia, a yowie is a legendary ape-like creature that shuns human contact, but occasionally leaves footprints behind or is heard in the night. This Ozzie research dovetails with Oxford University scientists and others. Queensland expedition in the wilds of the Gold Coast are one of 20 such research expeditions, on the hunt round the world looking for evidence of strange creatures in our midst. Their aim is to get DNA samples to determine their genesis.

What the Oxford study is about is if you truly are a scientist you should be constantly challenging the established norm,” Holland said.

There are a lot of academics trying to get involved but (they) will not risk their reputation,” says James Fay, a member of the Australian team. “Science hasn’t been as open-minded as you would think.” … Really!

Reading that makes me ask what else “Science hasn’t been as open-minded as you would think” in terms of serious research. Being actively involved in clinical application and the teaching of kinesiology for 30 years, in private workshops and ten years at a registered college, has given me many opportunities to encounter “Science hasn’t been as open-minded as you would think.”

Actually it is the medical practitioners who have been the least open minded.

Believe it or not, research has been conducted on many aspects of alternate medicine to the point that body/mind medicine is now commonly recognized as real, a holistic approach is encouraged, and acupuncture, which is energy medicine, is used in medical clinics and hospitals too. Other forms of energy medicine have also been proven to be effective, including kinesiology.

This research has often been conducted by disenchanted medical practitioners and university professors as well as curious students whose bias has not yet been set by medical dogma. These are the ones who risked their reputation, refused to continue giving medications that are ineffective and cause so many detrimental side effects or direct harm. So they went in search of a better alternative. After all, the oath medical practitioners take admonishes, “first, do no harm.”

If the possibility that yowie’s, bigfoots, sasquatches, and yetis may have a recognizable DNA attracts scientific research, and is based on reported sightings round the world over eons, it makes me wonder. What if all who engage in holistic medicine over centuries may have a discernable DNA worthy of research, maybe even an energetic link. Believe it or not, it just might be so.
