Richard investigates the phenomenon of Energy and Spiritual Healing. Several energy healers claim they are able to produce spontaneous, miraculous healings through a laying on of hands. Claims of healings by a man in a remote village in Brazil, known as "John of God", are also examined. A skeptic argues that the subtle energy said to be at work during these healings is not detectable and claims of spontaneous healings have not been independently verified nor subjected to proper scientific scrutiny.
