✦ Synopsis

Short-term heart rate variability (S-HRV) is a valid and reliable measure of health and therapy effectiveness. Pignotti makes critical assertions about S-HRV with no evidence or authoritative support for these curious assertions. Short-term measures have advantages over long-term measures. The power of Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is demonstrated through unprecedented HRV improvements as well as other physiologic indices such as skin color, microscopic measures, and increases in T-cell numbers after successful TFT. Bilchick and associates' hypothesis (2002), "Each increase of 10 ms in standard deviation of normal-to-normal (SDNN) conferred a 20% decrease in risk of mortality (p = .0001)," is a bold and speculative position that appears to have general, if not highly specific, merit when applied to all groups investigated with HRV.
