Touch Healing Energy Therapy Theory
by Eric Talaska, December, 2012

Eric Explains the theory of touch therapy in his own words:

What it is not:
It is not a gift from God
It is not magic

What it is:
An evolutionary genetic trait designed to enhance longevity of the human race.
Transfer of pheromones or other energies to another to signify to the other's cells or bacteria to fight off illness or injury.
      Note: We are made of 90% bacteria that could be significantly contributing to the therapy via communication!
                There is 100 times more life on your skin than humans on earth!
Can also simply be the social skill of an individual to convince another enough to cause a desired placebo effect.

For hundreds of thousands of years, touch therapy has evolved within a secluded group of humans, but the origin is unknown. The best, most effective ones were exterminated because it was thought of as witchcraft, religious blasphemy, etc. Today some people carry the genetic traits and can perform limited touch therapy. They are often characterized as weird and age much more slowly than the general population. They often notice many personality differences compared to others.

Today, touch therapists are unlikely to be exterminated, but rather ridiculed. Eric claims to have limited touch therapy ability based on several instances, but needs more research to aid in making any conclusions. Eric does not have the will or ability to assist with certain inappropriate conditions.

It is important to understand touch therapists cannot perform miracles or magic. They cannot do something like cause a severed limb to regrow, etc. They can only send signals to cells to perform certain actions or inaction.
