Scientific Work

I spent many years from the 1970s to the early 1980s involved in scientific research with doctors and scientists in laboratories and universities around the world. You’ll find here a comprehensive list of all the published reports of those tests.

“During experiments Manning focused on the cancer cells in the flask. The cells attach themselves to the side of the plastic flask with an electrostatic charge. You have to disrupt that attraction to get them to float free. Matthew would hold his hands over the top of it for 10 to 20 minutes. The cancer cells were actually being killed by him. In at least 60 percent of cases, the results were quite significant. He got those cells to float free. When an individual who was not a healer tried to do the same thing, nothing happened.”

Dr William Braud

During 1974 Toronto experiments as they became known, I was tested for several weeks in tests led by Professor George Owen (middle) and Nobel Prize winner, Professor Brian Josephson.


It was found during the Toronto experiments that I had a brainwave function never previously seen.

“I think we are on the verge of discoveries which may be extremely important for physics. We are dealing with a new kind of energy. This force must be subject to laws. I believe ordinary methods of scientific investigation will tell us a lot about psychic phenomena. They are mysterious but they are no more mysterious than a lot of things in physics already. I think the respectable scientists may find they have missed the boat.” Professor Brian Josephson, Professor Emeritus of Physics, Cambridge University, Nobel Laureate.
