Nothing wrong with honing, anyway! :D. Dossey cites clinical studies and case histories in his work, which is why I refer you to him.

A model which insists on knowledge being generated and located in the body/brain complex only cannot account for a single instance of non-local knowing.

Just as one white crow will offset the theory that all crows are black, in the presence of such an exception the model has to be revisited because the anomaly condemns it as incomplete.

This has a lot to do with the mechanisms that underlie the self-created realities we refer to as beliefs, but it is logically valid regardless.

However the circularity of the discussion is wearisome, as it appears the case histories and clinical studies do not overcome the predisposition to believe they cannot occur. Unfortunately I do not have the time or resources to hand to dig up citations for you, or I would gladly do so.
