Claims
The big paranormal claim..... psychic healing. Some believe that people with psychic ability can heal others by using their minds. Like the videos of people in Russia. While this is crap, it is possible that positive thinking and positive mindsets can allow people to heal better, or quicker, and negative mindsets can impede healing.
To use the same paranormal claim, the minimal amount of evidence needed to show this would be to take medically sick, documented people, and put them with these so called psychic healers for a period of time, and see if they heal the sick. Taking into account the known rates which people get better with time for the particular illness. In other words i would like to see a scientific study, not just peoples claims.

Okay, so to believe that these claims (which, in fact are pure bologna) we would need some credible evidence. Look up "double-blind" and tell me what you think about that experimental method.

I like the double blind idea. I don't think even seemingly objective scientists need to know what they are looking at. If that makes sense. If the people don't know what they are specifically looking for, for example a result, then they are more objective about the real results. They can't look for what they think they should find.
