Lynne McTaggart, one of the scientists running The Intention Experiment, is featured in the very movie that you just called bunk, over-simplified, and not specific enough.

As for her credentials, here is what Wikipedia says:

McTaggart's program is not accepted by mainstream medicine and not supported by scientific evidence, although references to mainstream scientific concepts are made. Despite references to quantum mechanics, McTaggart is not a physicist and her ideas are not supported by mainstream physicists.

Just this sentence alone gives her cred with me: "McTaggart's program is not accepted by mainstream medicine and not supported by scientific evidence."

How about : "the raw food diet is not accepted by mainstream medicine and not supported by scientific evidence."

Should I go back to McDonalds?

Again, your analogy is wrong. The FDA (and other agencies) control what we know about food and medicine. Why? Because there's vast sums of money behind it. Making people fat and sick benefits restaurants, foodmakers, industrial farms, Big Pharma, etc.

No one is making tons of money off of quantum physics. It's an entirely differently realm. Quantum physics is nothing more than the science concerning the random movement of subatomic particles. That's it. Please explain how that got tied into these notions of quantum mysticism.

If you don't think intention is related to medicine and money, watch this vid:

No question science is influenced by money, but to compare it to the pharmaceutical industry is ridiculous. There's far more money in that field. The vast majority of physicists typically don't make nearly as much money as their pharmaceutical counterparts. "Do some more reading" about it.

I'm not behaving as a terrible scientist. I do have my opinion on this subject, but that doesn't mean it can't be changed. I wouldn't be eating raw foods if my opinions couldn't be changed. So convince me. You're acting like this is the first time I've been reading about this subject. The law of attraction has been a constant subject on this board since the day I joined. I can find absolutely nothing to substantiate it. It's a theory that essentially blames the victim for bad events.

Oh, and this "terrible scientist" wonders how what you wrote as a list can immediately be taken as a correlation with an event that happened. What of the rapid conclusion you drew?

We're talking about the mechanical world of quantum physics, not health, nutrition, or medicine.

you brought up the quote from Wikipedia about " not being accepted by mainstream medicine" and now you ask what it has to do with medicine?
Duh?

Well, it shouldn't be accepted by medicine, mainstream or otherwise. What proof do we have that quantum mechanics plays any part in the healing process? Where is the association? You may as well say the study of latin plays a part in healing as well.

No other scientific framework can explain the phenomena that are being observed. It fits within the quantum model of non-locality and observer influence.
