In a stunning" Show of mind power, a psychic has transferred energy into and out of plant leaves in a University of California laboratory in Los Angeles - while he was nearly 3,000 miles away in Miami.

"Charles Collins is incredible. The results of our tests on him were both significant and very dramatic," reported John Hubacher, research associate who conducted the tests at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Institute.

And Dr. Stanley Krippner, internationally famous parapsychologist, declared:

"I am familiar with research in this field and nothing to my knowledge like this experiment has been reported!'

Hubacher first tested Collins - who says lie is a psychic healer - at UCLA last January. "First we photographed Six leaves individually using tile Kirlian equipment, which photographs the electrical discharge around objects," he explained. -Leaves are excellent detectors of energies Associated with healing.

"Then Collins field his hands a few inches from the six leaves and tried to put energy into them. We photographed the leaves, and each of tile six Kirlian photos showed that the energy fields around tile leaves got brighter, which meant they I had more energy than before. Then Collins tried to extract energy- in the next photos the electrical field around each leaf got dimmer."

The scientists then photographed a control group of six other leaves, with Collins holding his hands near but not adding or- subtracting energy. "None of the 18 control photos showed any significant change," said Hubacher. Collins returned to Miami, his home, and the experiment was repeated once a week for six weeks in February through March - but this time front 2,826 miles away.

"At the appointed time I faced west and held my hands up recalled Collins. "I imagined that my hands were placed over the leaves in the UCLA laboratory. When I sent energy to the leaves, I felt my hands get warmer and warmer.

"When I reversed the process for the next set of leaves, I imagined my hands extracting energy from the leaves, and my hands felt heavier, just as they feet when I'm extracting energy from a patient."

Hubacher told The ENQUIRER: "We continued this procedure once a week for six weeks. Each time lie definitely caused the energy field around the leaves either to grow dimmer or brighter, while the control groups showed no significant change. "These changes were not random fluctuations. The electrical discharge of the leaves got brighter when the energy was put in and dimmer when the energy was withdrawn by Collins."

Dr. Thelma Moss, director of the UCLA parapsychology laboratory and internationally known parapsychology researcher, said: "We got some very dramatic changes in the leaves.

"The photographs of the leaves before and after Collins sent out the energy show that he's a unique individual."

Dr. Robert N. Miller, former professor of chemical engineering at Georgia Tech and a world renowned research scientist, tested Collins and found that lie can put about twice the amount of energy as the average person into water. "Collins can produce changes in energy patterns," said Dr. Miller. "He definitely has shown scientifically that he has healing abilities.

"My tests show that an energy different from the energies recognized by modern science is given off by Collins' hands - an energy which is different from heat, light our even electricity.

"Up until now, medical doctors didn't believe that healing by the laying-on-of-hands was possible. Now we've verified that there is a very real energy and it can be measured over great distances. Even the most skeptical doctor has to admit that something amazing is happening!"
