art bell
From the high desert in the great American Southwest, I visit good evening, good morning, good afternoon, wherever you may be across all 24 time zones covered by this program around the globe.
unidentified
I'm Mark Bell.
art bell
The program is Coast to Coast AF.
As you all know, my backs once again reached out and got me for a couple of days.
But I have returned stronger than ever.
So, we'll dive into what we're going to do tonight.
Dr. Keller, Dr. Paul Kellagher, is a staff member of the National Institute of Discovery Science as a researcher, scientist, and deputy administrator, where his responsibilities include overseeing NIDS research projects.
Dr. Kellager received a B.S. degree in biochemistry from the University College Dublin, Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Dublin, Trinity College.
Until 1996, Dr. Kellagher was an instructor at the National Jewish Center for Immunology, Denver, where his research projects included molecular biology of Epstein-Barr virus infection of human B T cells, expression of human androgynous retrovirus-like transpossin sequences in human immune cells,
HIV infection of human cells, expression of human nerve growth in factor receptors on human B cells, ayay.
Has been a research associate at the Molecular Genetics Lab, Harry Fox Laboratory, British Columbia Cancer Agency, Vancouver, B.C., served as a post-doctorate fellow of the Ontario Cancer Institute, Toronto.
Was recipient of a National Science and Engineering Research Council, a Canada Award in Biochemistry in 1985, and a W.P. Craven Memorial Award in Medical Sciences in 1986.
Dr. Killer has authored and co-authored 36 peer-reviewed publications in molecular immunology, virology, and biochemistry.
It's also been published in numerous articles for the layperson in magazines, including Omni.
NIDS is operated, funded by Robert Bigelow, a really nice, really interesting guy in Las Vegas, very well-to-do, who has been doing this for a lot of years now, has the resources and the ability to investigate odd, paranormal, or otherwise things as they occur, UFO sightings, whatever.
Now, there's a hotline telephone number that I am about to give you, which you're welcome to call right now.
If you have anything odd, bizarre, strange that needs to be investigated, anything you would like to report, here is the hotline number which is open right now at this hour, unusually at this time, but it is open right now.
Area code 702 798-1700.
Let me give that again.
Put it on your refrigerator.
If you have anything that you really think bears serious investigation in the world of the unusual number.
You could even call now.
702 area code 798-1700.
In a moment, Cullum Cullaher.
All right, over the hill now, 65 miles or so, to Cullum Cullaher, who is a deputy administrator for NIDS and a remarkable organization.
Gave you the hotline number one more time.
It's open right now at 702-798-1700.
I believe we've got as many as three cases to cover with Cullum.
And we're going to talk again about animal mutilations.
Pretty rough stuff.
Cullen Culloher, welcome.
colm kelleher
Thank you, Art.
It's good to be here again.
art bell
Great to have you.
The last time that we talked, Cullum, you said that you were leaning toward the explanation regarding cattle mutilations, if I'm recalling correctly.
You were laying it out on the probability of some sort of ritualistic operation of some kind, right?
colm kelleher
Yeah, that would be pretty accurate.
And, you know, we still have absolutely no idea who was carrying out these bizarre mutilations that now seem to have really come up again since last summer.
art bell
Since we talked last?
colm kelleher
Well, there have been a few more cases, but there's really been a very large resurgence of cases since about June of 2001.
Before that, our institute was getting them at maybe one or two per year.
And since June of 2001, we've had over 20 reports, which is a dramatic increase.
art bell
All right.
Well, as people listen to what you're about to say, I want them to bear in mind this possible explanation of satanic doings causing this, because some of the evidence that you're about to present seems to contradict that possibility.
But you go right ahead and tell us about that.
colm kelleher
Yeah, well, the element of ritual that I was talking about, I think, is very much present in some of these cases.
But in terms of satanic ritual, we're very skeptical about whether or not satanic cults or whatever are involved in this.
art bell
Oh.
And then when you said ritual, you weren't necessarily referring to.
That's correct.
colm kelleher
So yeah, we were not.
art bell
Well, I'm glad you cleared that up because the lack of any footprints within a mile around a big problem.
colm kelleher
Yeah, it certainly is.
And We think that the vast majority of the cults that have been investigated in the 1970s and 1980s, especially we're very well aware of the kinds of law enforcement investigations that went on in Montana, not to mention New Mexico and Utah and Colorado.
And in each of these cases, law enforcement went after the local cults.
And in all of the cases, nobody was caught or charged.
And most of the cults have a totally different modus operandi.
They tend to focus on chickens and goats and other small animals.
So if you want to go into a pasture and tackle a 2,000-pound bull who can be very, very ornery, I think most, you would say, normal cults, so to speak, would shy away from that.
art bell
If they didn't, they definitely want to have the very largest of the cult members do the work.
colm kelleher
Exactly.
And the fastest runners, if possible.
art bell
The fastest runners.
Yeah, okay.
Well, let's hear about some of these cases.
colm kelleher
The first case that I'm going to talk about happened, one of the first cases that we actually encountered in the NIS organization, and that happened on March 10th of 97.
It was a very unusual animal mutilation, as we were to find out, because it happened in daylight.
And briefly, what happened was there were two ranchers who were tagging their animals, newborn calves, in a pasture which was essentially wide open.
The nearest cover was about 100 yards away.
And they had a dog, a blue healer, with them, which always accompanied them.
And it was one of their favorite dogs.
They tagged the animal.
They weighed it.
It was about 87 pounds.
And they moved off west after tagging the animal.
They moved about 300 yards west down the field.
And they were still in the same pasture, but there was a very, very slight dip in the pasture.
And they started tagging the next animal.
There were multiple calves that had been born the previous night.
So they were tagging the second calf, and they were just finishing that when their blue eelers started to act very strangely.
art bell
Oh, their dog.
colm kelleher
Their dog, yeah.
And the dog started growling and started barking and facing back in the direction from which they'd just come.
And the hairs on the back of the neck went up, and it started getting more and more agitated, so they started taking notice.
The healer then acted really unexpectedly and just took off.
It took off in a westerly direction away from the direction they'd just come.
And the rancher told us that they never saw that dog again.
The dog just took off.
art bell
They never saw the dog again?
colm kelleher
They never saw the dog again.
Now, this was not just a kind of a wild dog that hung around.
This was a very treasured family almost a pet.
art bell
It seems like I've heard this story before, but I've never heard that.
colm kelleher
You may have, because it was one of the more bizarre cases, because the ranchers looked around at the direction that the healer was focused on.
So they noticed that one of the cows was running in a very kind of frantic manner back and forth from one spot in the middle of the field towards the fence line and then back again.
So they started coming back to investigate.
And to cut a long story short, they walked back and they found that the calf that they had just tagged, now remember they had very good memory in terms of the kinds of coloring on the calf.
art bell
Well they had just done the tag.
colm kelleher
They had just done it 45 minutes previously.
And the animal was lying spread-eagled on its back in the middle of the pasture, obviously having been carefully laid out.
The entire middle section of the animal was gone.
The only thing left was that the ribs were protruding up from the spine.
All of the internal organs were gone.
all of the muscle, all of the tissue, all the way from the neck down to the legs.
Now, the interesting thing about it was...
That's right.
art bell
Oh, my God.
So this just happened, not only that, but excuse me, was this a long-time dog they had had a long time?
colm kelleher
There was about a 45-minute interval between when they tagged the animal and when they returned to the animal.
art bell
Yes, yes, this dog, had it been a pet a long time?
colm kelleher
It had been with them years and years.
So it was one of their best dogs for cattle.
It was a really good cattle dog, and they were extremely agitated to lose the dog, but they never saw the animal again.
art bell
Oh, my God.
Maybe they're lucky they didn't get back there as quickly as the dog.
colm kelleher
Well, the dog obviously sensed something and maybe even saw something that really put the terrors into him, and he just took off, didn't want to be around.
art bell
Do they know for sure, Cullum, that he took off?
In other words, if the dog has never been seen again, how do they know it took off versus meeting some unkind fate?
colm kelleher
They don't.
art bell
They don't.
colm kelleher
They have no idea what happened to the dog.
Obviously, in the days subsequent, they searched the property.
They even drove around the local roads to see if it had been run over by traffic.
And they went through the usual search procedures, and they couldn't find the dog.
Oh.
And they asked the neighbors, they asked all of the nearby ranches, and nothing was ever seen of that dog again.
art bell
If I was laying money, I'd lay it more on unkind fate than I would dog ran away and never came back again.
colm kelleher
Yeah.
That is, you know, it was a real part of this whole mystery.
art bell
Everybody needs to understand this happened at what's called the ranch.
Yes?
Yes.
The ranch is an area where paranormal-type things were occurring on a pretty regular basis.
Bob Bigelow Bought the ranch and then put investigators on the ranch.
And that's what you're hearing about.
These investigators were doing their work and ran into what you just heard about.
And I never had heard about the dog part.
Wow.
colm kelleher
Yeah, and that incident actually really made us pay attention that every other investigation we ever went on in that particular area, we always had dogs with us because we knew that they were capable of sensing beyond the usual human perceptions.
So anyway, the ranchers came upon this animal.
There was not a single drop of blood either on the animal or on the grass.
Remember, pretty well, 60% of the body weight of the animal was gone in 45 minutes in broad daylight on a bright, sunny day in the morning.
art bell
Signs of predation or what?
colm kelleher
It looked initially to the ranchers that something extremely powerful had attacked the animal because the ball and socket joints had been literally ripped apart.
And even with an 87-pound calf, that is quite a feat of strength.
They thought they saw evidence of chewing on the animal, but then when they couldn't see any sign of entrails or blood or anything around the animal, they decided something very strange had happened.
And then they called NIDS in Las Vegas here.
We were on a plane within hours, and we were standing over that animal within five or six hours of the call.
And we had all of the instruments at our disposal.
art bell
Was there any follow-up forensic type evidence of what occurred?
colm kelleher
Yes, essentially, there were several levels of investigation, some of them forensic.
The first level of investigation was a veterinarian went through that animal inch by inch and discovered that the ear, which had been recently tagged with a very large yellow ear tag, had been completely removed very close to the skull with obviously a sharp instrument.
So here we had the calf that looked like it had been initially looked like it had been attacked, but now we find sharp instrument had obviously been used.
So in order to confirm that, the veterinarian took a sample, sent it to a veterinary pathology lab, and the veterinary pathology lab confirmed that a sharp instrument had been used on that animal.
art bell
Oh, that's creepy.
So even if there's predation, it's either after the fact or something worse.
colm kelleher
Yeah, well, we went through a whole bunch of predation scenarios, and even a bear, a ravenous bear, would have a lot of difficulty in consuming about 60 pounds of meat in 45 minutes flat, you know, without a break, essentially.
Not only that, but not leaving any mess whatsoever on the ground.
And we really went after the looking for occult blood, blood under the animal, blood even on the animal's hide or on the grass, and was not a drop.
Now, there was another element to this, and that was one of the femurs, like I had mentioned, had been forcibly ripped out.
That's one of the bones in the leg.
Forcibly ripped out and dropped about 10 feet away from the animal.
We took that bone, that femur bone, and sent it to a human pathologist who specializes in looking at bone and looking at injuries.
And this is one of the best forensic pathologists in the country, out in the East Coast.
He sent back a report to us saying that definitively two separate types of sharp instruments had been used on this animal.
The first was like a heavy machete type instrument, and the second one was more a finer type instrument, like a scissors.
Now, we actually posted some fairly graphic pictures of this animal on our website recently.
unidentified
Oh.
colm kelleher
And it's kind of like caution because some of the pictures are not particularly attractive.
art bell
We have a link, so yes, everybody, a caution.
colm kelleher
Yeah.
art bell
These are mutilations we're talking about, so obviously.
colm kelleher
These are definitely mutilations, but the real impression that we got when we arrived at this animal was that tremendous force had been used in combination with extreme care.
And the ritual element that I alluded to was the way the animal had been placed on the ground.
It was almost placed with extreme care.
It had that look as if extreme care had been used in placing the animal with all four legs spread eagled apart and lying in the middle of the pasture in broad daylight with absolutely no blood or no entrails anywhere around.
art bell
Okay, great.
Column, with all you just told me as good, hard evidence, honestly, what does that leave in terms of possibilities as we're considering perpetrators who could accomplish this?
What are the possibilities we have?
colm kelleher
Well, we went through a whole range of possibilities.
I mentioned briefly the whole predator possibility, which we pretty well eliminated once we started hearing about the Sharp Instruments.
art bell
Yeah, absolutely.
What does that leave you with?
colm kelleher
Well, we decided to follow it up by employing a tracker, a professional tracker who makes his living, you know, tracking game, just to make sure that there might have been no tracks left.
And he quartered that area extremely thoroughly for several days and not a single track.
Now, I should also mention there was a ring of unmelted snow around the perimeter of the field.
So if anybody or thing had entered the field via the perimeter, they would have left tracks in the snow.
There were no tracks.
art bell
So no tracks of any kind.
Well, okay, then again, Hillem, what does that leave us with?
colm kelleher
Okay, well, one of the Scenarios that we went through was the possibility that maybe this was an assassination training exercise, for want of a better word.
That, for example, an extremely well-trained unit could have been training in assassinations in daylight.
And we went through multiple different scenarios like that, but each one had almost insurmountable problems in terms of logistics.
art bell
All right.
If there was enough time left, I'd then ask you, well, then, what does that leave us with?
And I will ask it when we get back.
Hold on.
We're at the bottom of the hour.
I don't think that leaves us with very much, frankly, in terms of possibilities.
Pretty evil.
Feels pretty evil, doesn't it?
Puts the hairs on the back of your neck up a little bit.
That's what's going on out there.
You get the straight stuff, and we'll be right back.

This is Coast to Coast AM with our bell from the Kingdom of Nai.
art bell
It is indeed.
Good morning, everybody.
Colonel Cullagher is here, and indeed the question is, well, now, what possibilities, with everything just described, the use of a sharp implement, which rules out predation as I understand it, you know, like the scissors or whatever, something that sharp, and no tracks anywhere.
Do you like the scenario of the assassination, the practice assassination?
unidentified
I don't.
What does that leave us with?
art bell
You know, it's very interesting.
All this time, since Colin had talked earlier, I don't know, it just had to have been a month ago, and he mentioned the ritualistic aspect to it, I've been under the wrong impression.
I thought they were leaning really in that way.
That is, you know, devil groups of some kind or another.
The answer clearly to that is absolutely no.
But the question is, where to lean?
colm kelleher
Yeah, exactly.
art bell
So you're the guy.
Where to lean?
Where do we lean first?
colm kelleher
Well, you know, regarding this cult activity, I had a really interesting conversation with a law enforcement guy from Arkansas, Hope, Arkansas, and he had a whole rash of mutilations in the late 80s.
So we're getting more and more and more law enforcement people calling us.
But what he told us was that when the mutilations really intensified around Arkansas during that period, all the cults came forward and said, look, this is not us.
These mutilations are giving us a bad name.
We are not responsible for this.
art bell
I wonder how the press in the area covered it.
colm kelleher
The press recovered it really, really well, actually, very fairly.
art bell
How heavily did they lean on the cult aspect?
colm kelleher
Not very heavily at all.
art bell
Amazing.
colm kelleher
Because there was a lot of simultaneous lights in the sky.
And in fact, there were some pretty spectacular photographs of lights zigzagging in the sky that were taken over that area of Arkansas during that period.
So they leaned the opposite away from the cult activity and towards some kind of unknown phenomena that were connected with those lights.
art bell
they were willing to actually admit that much some unknown phenomena Well, they were putting the two together.
colm kelleher
They were putting the photographs of the zigzagging lights together with the photographs of the dead animals.
And there was the obvious linkage.
art bell
Well, the only other conclusion that a sane person can jump to before moving out into other country is the U.S. military.
I believe we control our own skies, so if it would have been any military, it would have been ours.
But you just cannot see, and I'm sure you've had discussions, Colum, why would the military need to do something like that?
colm kelleher
Well, this particular COS case really caused us to look in that direction because, like I mentioned, we went through this whole idea of the logistics of what it would take for a group of humans to actually do this to an animal.
And we came up with over a dozen really severe logistical problems for even a special forces outfit that were trained in this whole thing of assassinations.
And we just found that there were too many problems to explain.
So we know from the microscopic examination we conducted around the animal, we know that the animal probably was not killed where it was laid.
In other words, it was laid down in a different area from where it was killed because otherwise there would have had to be some kind of spillage on the grass.
So the chances are the animal was killed elsewhere.
Now where is that elsewhere?
That's where we drew a blank because, as I mentioned, we had actually employed a tracker to quarter the area within a mile radius of that animal, and nothing was found.
No tracks, no blood, no entrails, no anything.
But we would have to conclude that the animal had been killed elsewhere and then deliberately laid back on the ground almost as a message that this kind of thing can happen in broad daylight with two witnesses 300 yards away who saw nothing and heard nothing.
art bell
You want to take a stab at what the message was?
I mean, just that we can do whatever we want whenever we want and you have no control over it whatsoever.
colm kelleher
That's a good approximation because and also combined with the visual spectacle of the overwhelming force that was used on that animal.
And it was definitely a visual message because it was quite obvious that it was unlike any of the predator scavenger kills, and it was unlike most of the other mutilations that have only very minor parts of the animal.
art bell
Okay, again, if that really is the message, then what's it meant to tell us?
Is it a threat?
Is it a what would be the motivation for it?
I mean, yeah, okay, we can do whatever we want to you anytime we want without detection.
But what are we, I mean, I don't conclude anything friendly from that, do you?
colm kelleher
No, we didn't conclude anything friendly from it at all.
There was a definite element of hostility in that whole act.
And you could actually say the same thing in many cases for some of the more obvious cases of animal mutilations.
We don't consider animal mutilations to be a particularly friendly act, no matter how you look at it.
Even for sampling, even if you postulate that the animal mutilation phenomena is some form of sampling exercise conducted by parties unknown, they still leave the animals there in full view of ranchers for shock value.
art bell
All right.
Very quickly, forward to 2001, the end of 2001.
In other words, we've got some recent cases here, don't we?
colm kelleher
Well, this second case really caught our eye because it was so close to the case that I've just described.
It happened in November of 2001, which is only a few months ago.
Same modus operandi, black Angus calf that had been born the night before.
art bell
Northern California.
colm kelleher
Northern California.
And now remember this first case that I've just described happened in northeastern Utah, which is a long way away, and five years previously.
But very briefly, the animal was found with pretty well all of the body weight gone.
The entire body cavity had been removed, exposing just the ribs and the spine.
No blood, no entrails, no nothing on the ground, except for one exception, and that is that the eye of the animal had been removed with a sharp instrument.
The left eye of the animal had been removed and placed very carefully on the ground about two or three feet away from the animal.
And the other unusual feature of this was that the snout of the animal had been cored out.
And again, there are sort of not very pleasant photographs of this on our website, but we put these up just purely as an exercise for people in the ranching community who might come across this kind of thing and might not want to report it, because these are really outlying cases.
They're not the usual types of mutilation that are reported to us at all.
They're very unusual.
Now, this eye on the grass was left intact.
It had been removed intact from the animal.
All of the fluid was intact in the eye.
And we know from our own experience that once the fluid is exposed or the eye is exposed like this, fluid evaporates relatively quickly.
So this was a pretty fresh kill.
Right.
And the Molus Operane really caught our eye because of the similarity with the Utah case.
Now, that happened only a few months ago.
There's a third case that happened.
The eye was positioned looking towards the animal.
If you look at the photograph, you can actually see the direction that the eye is looking, and it's looking directly at the animal as it's looking at.
art bell
Oh, my, you really do have detailed photographs, don't you?
colm kelleher
Yeah, it is.
It's not very pleasant.
art bell
Be very cautious, folks, in who you allow to see these photographs.
This sounds real serious.
colm kelleher
Yeah.
art bell
All right.
And now there's another case, yet an even more recent case.
colm kelleher
Yeah, there's an even more recent case at the end of December.
And this, again, happened in Northern California.
It happened just before New Year's Eve in Northern California, about 10 miles, 10 to 15 miles away from the second case that I've just been talking about.
And this was a premature seven-month-old Charolay calf.
It was found by the ranchers.
Now, the unusual thing about this was that the entire head of the animal had been removed, which is, again, not the usual type of mutilation that Inez is used to receiving.
But the extraordinary thing about this case was that the hide had been removed very, very carefully from the head of the animal prior to the removal of the head.
In other words, it had been decapitated after the skin was removed, and the entire skin of the head was attached to the remainder of the animal as it lay on the ground.
art bell
All right, all right.
Fast question for you.
Does any of this, Column, to those who know about these things, the experts you have, does any of it make sense from a research point of view?
If there was some kind of sampling going on, does the forensic MO here match anything that your scientists can tell you looks like research?
colm kelleher
Not in these three cases.
These three cases are real outliers, and we actually hesitate in publishing them because they are so far outside the norm of what we're used to dealing with, which is removal of an eye, removal of an ear, removal of lips or tongue, and then removal of either reproductive organs or excretory organs.
That's it.
There's not this kind of removal of the head or removal of the vast majority of the body of the animal.
So those three cases, there's really no indication of sampling or research or anything like that.
You could always apply that explanation to the vast majority of animal mutilations with the caveat of why would anybody who's doing research like this leave animals on the ground for ranchers to find if it was just like a covert research exercise?
art bell
I have no answers.
colm kelleher
Well, we know that the three cases that I've just been talking about are so different and they're so bizarre.
It is quite obvious that sharp instruments have been used.
It's quite obvious that hostile intent has been used because they're all similar in the fact that they're either newborn or they're just born calves.
art bell
Colin, this all sounds more like some kind of horrible, ritualistic just killing.
I mean, I think a lot of people can wrap their heads around the possibility of whoever, even aliens, doing, you know, some kind of research, some kind of environmental sampling, whatever.
I mean, there's a reason for it then.
But wrapping your head around just a horrible, horrible killing, ritualistic at that.
colm kelleher
Yeah.
art bell
That doesn't sound good at all.
I bet you chewed it over before.
colm kelleher
Yeah, we did.
We actually never published the first case for several years because it was so obviously bizarre and non-hostile.
And it was just these two recent cases that just came up in the last few months.
art bell
So what are your guys saying?
Are you saying, oh, we're on to something completely new and different here?
colm kelleher
Well, we're still treating these as outliers.
If we get more cases, and that's another reason why we published them, was to see if anybody else, any law enforcement people, are reporting.
We came across a case in Louisiana involving a young calf, but it was nowhere near as gruesome as this particular tree here.
So we're publishing them for the purpose of veterinarians so that they can take a look at them and verify that this is just not predator scavenger activity we're talking about.
Number two, law enforcement, to encourage law enforcement people who do have these kinds of reports to come forward to us.
art bell
Column, what do you think the average vet, if he were to be called to a scene like the ones you've described tonight, what do you think the average vet would probably do?
How would he dispose of the case?
colm kelleher
I would challenge most vets to explain these three cases.
art bell
No, no, no, no.
I'm saying if they came, the average vet, would they just sort of write this off in some weird way and walk away shaking their head?
Or would they report it to somebody?
colm kelleher
It really depends on the person.
Most of the veterinarians that we're currently working with are open-minded, but we know from experience in the past that a lot of veterinarians coming upon these kinds of cases would prefer not to pursue them.
art bell
They would prefer just to I wonder how many that's happening with, Cohen.
colm kelleher
That's a question we really want to know, too, because we want to know if this is just a relatively new phenomenon or was this happening in the 1970s when the mutilations were at their peak?
Because remember, parallel with these cases, there's also standard cases of mutilation that are happening in multiple different states, including Canada right now.
art bell
UFO sightings are also up, what, 42%, they said, or something in Canada?
colm kelleher
In Canada, yeah.
There appears to be a lot happening.
art bell
Y'all are following that, huh?
colm kelleher
Yeah.
In the UFO front, there seems to be a lot happening.
art bell
Yeah, I had somebody tell me the other night they thought it was just because of more press coverage suddenly on this subject in Canada or something or another.
colm kelleher
No.
art bell
No.
colm kelleher
We don't get that impression.
But we are beginning to see much more balanced coverage of the UFO phenomenon than there used to be.
The giggle factor seems to be really decreasing in our experience.
art bell
Well, once people are finished giggling about this, then they get real serious.
I mean, they get really worried because of what it means, or could mean, one way or the other.
colm kelleher
You mean the UFO?
art bell
Absolutely.
In other words, if these things are beyond the control of our military, that has really significant meaning.
No matter how you, if they are from our military, that has really significant meaning.
I mean, we've got at least anti-gravitic propulsion, that sort of thing.
It's a gigantic story of the century either way.
colm kelleher
Yeah, and, you know, since 9-11, I think the skies have been so incredibly closely watched.
Yes.
Any of these cases that come in that involve low-flying large objects, and they're still coming in, we're still getting them, then it's pretty obvious that either the radar is picking them up and they're ours, or the radar is picking them up and they're not ours.
art bell
Here's what I would say.
You're right.
We have a lot of fighter aircraft in the skies over the U.S. They're spending an incredible amount of money doing it.
colm kelleher
Yes.
art bell
As a matter of fact, interceptors ready to go at altitude, ready to chase anything that might show up.
So you've got to wonder.
colm kelleher
That's right.
art bell
They can't be missing them, which would mean what?
That they know they can't catch them and don't try, or already know what they are?
colm kelleher
It's one of those possibilities.
It's almost impossible to distinguish them.
You know, we're working a case that just came out at the end of last month, which is only a few days ago, from Lake Havasu City in Arizona.
And this was like two girls who were out at 3 a.m. on the 21st of February.
They noticed three blinking lights up in the sky, and they were just talking about them when this other object came by and suddenly came in their direction.
It had three oblong-shaped lights on the front of the thing.
And as it came towards them, another oblong light joined the three to make what looked like a cross at the front.
And as it kept coming, it just got bigger and bigger and bigger.
They described this thing that went over them at about 100 feet that literally filled the sky.
You know, we went through a questionnaire that includes, what does it look like, you know, with your hand outstretched?
Would it cover your thumb?
Would it cover your...
I mean, we were going through these large, would it cover your thumb?
would it cover a basketball, would it cover...
art bell
Oh, my God.
colm kelleher
So this object, and this was only, like I said, last week.
art bell
Did you get them to do a drawing?
colm kelleher
Yeah.
We're still working the case.
We just got it.
And we're working it.
But it's the kind of thing that this object was at reasonable altitude, and then it turned, and it seemed to notice these two people and came right down for a look.
And it went right over them.
These two girls.
Great.
art bell
Great.
colm kelleher
The idea that an object of this size could have escaped detection seems ludicrous.
Seems ludicrous.
art bell
Column, we're out of time.
We need a lot more time.
We need to have you on more frequently.
colm kelleher
Absolutely.
Well, I'd love to, actually.
art bell
All right.
Make sure, network and column, that we are scheduled more frequently, all right?
unidentified
Okay.
All right.
art bell
Thank you very much, as always, Colum.
And the hotline number, if you need something investigated out there, folks, is area code 702-798-1700.
Have it nearby on the fridge or whatever by your phone.
702 is the area code 798-1700.
It's open right now, right, Columb?
colm kelleher
Yes, it is.
art bell
Nice.
colm kelleher
Thank you very much, Art.
It was, as always, a pleasure.
art bell
A great pleasure.
Good night.
And just not done frequently enough, so we're going to start doing it more.
Cullum Culliher.
They've got the resources, and they use them to investigate the kind of thing you're hearing about tonight.
If you have the stomach for it, the photographic proof is on the link page from Cullum Culliher's name on my website, artbell.com.
We'll be right back.

art bell
the will the studying the money the time involved in getting a doctorate uh imagine uh getting a doctorate in biophysics now this is from Pennsylvania State University by my guest Dr. Joyce Hawkes try and imagine getting a doctorate and working at the top of the heap in your field in biophysics and then suddenly having an NDE
a near-death experience and then dropping everything you were doing I'm not saying there's no relation to what she does now and what she did do but but it's a kind of a casual one in a way after her NDE and we'll find out why and get the NDE described but for some reason she just sort of changed direction completely she traveled went to the Philippines Bali,
India, in search of indigenous healing wisdom.
This is after an NDE.
This is after a PhD.
Anyway, it's a very interesting story, and it's coming right up.
unidentified
Oh, no.
art bell
This should be very interesting.
Scientist by training, Dr. Joyce Hawkes, actually, received her doctorate in biophysics from the Pennsylvania State University in 1971 as an electron micropist and cell biologist.
She came to the West Coast on a National Institute's, that's NIH, postdoctoral fellowship at the Primate Center in Beaverton, Oregon.
Later, after being recruited by the National Marine Fisheries Service in Seattle, Dr. Hotz set up and supervised an electron microsby, I can never say that, microsby, I believe it is, research laboratory, and was recognized with a National Special Achievement Award by the Department of Commerce.
While working for NMFS from 76 through 84, the doctor published 50 scientific papers, was elected a fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her publications on the effects of Get This Now, high-speed lasers, hue-switched lasers, nanosecond pulsed, on pigment cells.
She was also an adjunct professor at the University of Washington.
Now that's a very heavy academic well-credentialed background, you must admit.
Somebody in that field is going to make a lot of money.
Then she had an NDE, and that changed her life direction completely, and we'll talk to her about that.
But let's begin with the work that she was doing.
Doctor, how long, how much educational educational years went into your doctorate and your work until you had your NDE?
dr joyce hawkes
Oh, good question.
So four years of bachelor's, two of master's, five for the Ph.D., three on the postdoc, and then I was a professional scientist for 15 years before all the rest of it happened.
art bell
Oh, my God.
dr joyce hawkes
So that's a batch of years, isn't it?
art bell
That's a batch of years.
Yes, it is.
And that's a very heavily credentialed background.
To suddenly just go...
And go off in a totally different direction.
That doesn't...
I was about to say that doesn't happen to many people, but it does happen to quite a few of the ones that I have interviewed over the years.
Now, I'll have to think about what that means.
Nevertheless, it's kind of a head shaker, and people would say, boy, you know, you could be in a lab making an awful lot of money, especially these days.
And so what happened to this doctor?
So what happened to you, doctor?
dr joyce hawkes
Well, one little comment on what you just said.
I also really loved the work.
I enjoyed working with the electron microscope.
It was truly a thrill to sit at this huge instrument that weighs a ton and peer inside of cells.
We had a wonderful lab, and it was at the height of my career.
I had a crew working for me, was traveling internationally, giving a lot of lectures and publishing.
art bell
And tell me a little bit about this laser work.
What is that?
Q-switched lasers, pulsed lasers?
dr joyce hawkes
It was really exotic.
I collaborated with a group at the Oregon Graduate Center.
They were developing a research laser for fusion reactors.
Eventually that was dropped because fusion reactors were considered to be too goofy and dangerous.
But we were able to do some work with fish, and the Q-Switch laser that we used was a Ruby laser that was pulsing in microseconds.
But it was pulsing its light into a die cell that absorbed the light until it could absorb no more, and it would flash open and let the light through to a target.
Now, that flash was four or five nanoseconds pulses.
That's how you got them so short.
Now, if you're having retinal repair, that's a laser that works in a microsecond, and it just welds a little burny spot and holds the retina in the back of the eye.
art bell
What were you trying to achieve with the pulse laser?
dr joyce hawkes
What we were looking at was how to brand fish, something kind of really pedantic.
And we were able to do that.
We were working on coho salmon, working with the pigment cells in the skin, trying to find a way to mark them so that when they went out to the ocean and came back, scientists, other people working on the migration of the fish would know where they'd been if they came back to exactly the same place.
art bell
Well, isn't that interesting?
Instead of some radio transmitter, which I think they use on whales and that sort of thing.
dr joyce hawkes
Right, they're hard to put in fish because they're so small when they leave fresh water that that one's never worked on the fishies.
But what happened were almost quantum level effects in the pigment cells.
art bell
Like what?
dr joyce hawkes
Well, the epidermis was not burned.
There was no change whatsoever in the outer skin cells.
But the black pigment cells did not die when they absorbed the light, but their tiny pigment granules were vaporized.
And it affected only the granules within the cells.
The cells stayed alive.
What also happened is they lost the ability to contract the granules and make the skin look blanched or light.
So they had this fully expanded pigment cell, which is like a giant amoeba under the skin.
unidentified
So that area looked really dark.
art bell
So in that way, you were able to actually put some identifying mark on them.
unidentified
We were.
art bell
Well, what did you do with the information about the effect on the cells?
Or did anybody care?
dr joyce hawkes
Well, that's actually where people did care.
That was the research, the basic research piece that was so interesting, that the effect on the cells was unexpected.
We were able, through biophysical principles, to calculate a heating core around each little pigment granule.
And it all got very elegant and very nice.
But the cool thing was that relates to human biology.
There are microtubules inside these pigment cells.
And the pigment granules roll along the microtubules.
art bell
Wait, wait, you're getting ahead of me and probably everybody else.
I have one question.
Oh, that's all right.
I'm just going to have to stop you when you're going like crazy here.
Now, how is it that you could affect cells beneath the epidermis without leaving any trace on the epidermis itself?
What is it about a pulsed laser that could achieve that?
dr joyce hawkes
The pulse was so fast, and the light was absorbed only in the pigment granules that it was not seen by those cells.
And because it was so fast, it didn't have the burning nature that the slower lasers do.
It doesn't absorb it.
It has nothing in there that actually absorbs that wavelength of light is the best we could figure it out.
It was an unusual effect.
art bell
Okay, well then the cells that lay beneath, what unusual properties do they have that did absorb that energy?
dr joyce hawkes
The melanin in those cells, the pigment in those cells absorbs in that wavelength.
art bell
Wow.
dr joyce hawkes
But still, you know, there's still some mystery with it because the way those pigment granules were vaporized in just their tiny spot, it didn't fry the rest of the skin or the rest of the cell.
It was like an internal surgical tool right on those little tiny granules.
art bell
Where do you think research just going after the cellular effects would have led if you'd have been financed and led in that direction?
dr joyce hawkes
Well, I gave a paper at MD Anderson Hospital, and that's where we were headed with the large groups that are working on melanoma.
And so there are two branches with this.
There's a pigment cell branch in being able to destroy a melanoma cell with, possibly with one of these lasers.
And there's another branch with microtubules.
In the human brain, the thoughts transfer biochemically along little tiny tubules.
They're nanotubes.
You know, nanotubes are the hot thing in technology now, but cells invented them eons and eons ago.
art bell
Nanotubes.
Yeah.
Synapse.
Are these the inside the nerve cell?
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
And the message, the biochemical message, the fluxes of ions move along those tubes.
Now, in a state of anesthesia, the tubes are disrupted, and the message is not transmitted, so the person does not feel pain.
As the anesthesia wears off, the tubes automatically reassemble, and then the message moves along.
art bell
I've always wondered about this.
What is it, in what biochemical manner does anesthesia act to actually close this transmission down?
dr joyce hawkes
Well, the closest thinking so far is that somehow or other it is able to disassemble the microtubes, the little nanotubes, so the message can't move.
It's stopped.
art bell
Wow.
dr joyce hawkes
Now there are probably other, because there's so many different anesthetics, there are probably other methods also, but this is one of them.
art bell
And I would imagine a very effective way.
No transmission, no pain, period.
dr joyce hawkes
Right.
It's like cutting a wire.
art bell
That's an awfully, incredibly fascinating field of study to walk away from.
dr joyce hawkes
It was.
And it was thrilling, and it was intriguing.
And I did walk away.
art bell
It's just really hard to believe.
How old were you when you walked away?
dr joyce hawkes
You know, I was in my late 30s.
art bell
Late 30s.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
art bell
So, yeah, you would have been right at the height of your career.
dr joyce hawkes
I was.
I was, as I said, traveling internationally, giving papers.
I was co-chairing symposia in the field that I was in, publishing a lot.
Our lab was just cranking it out.
We were having a great time.
art bell
Have you followed your field, even though you're not technically still working in the field, have you followed the incredible stuff going on right now?
dr joyce hawkes
I have.
And I'm a fellow in the American Association for Advancement of Science, so I get the journal Science every week, and I open it up, and I go, wow, we used to sit around as graduate students and argue about these things, and here's the evidence for them.
It's a really thrilling time in science.
art bell
Do you see, with everything that's going on right now, there are opportunities and there are many dangers for society?
dr joyce hawkes
You're touching on cloning and things like that and genetic control, I suspect.
art bell
Sure?
dr joyce hawkes
You bet they're dangers.
art bell
And they're immediately I mean, they're right in front of us.
This cloning thing is ratcheting out of control very quickly.
Not a night goes by that I don't have another cloning story.
If they don't do it here in the U.S., they're proceeding, believe me, at a fast pace in Europe and elsewhere.
dr joyce hawkes
Oh, absolutely.
It will happen some other country if we stop it.
You know, and it is very frightening.
I don't know what to think about it.
art bell
Well, if you were in a position of authority and could set policy for this country regarding proceeding, what kind of advice would you let's say you are not a dictator, you are just offering advice.
What kind of advice would you give in this area to everybody?
dr joyce hawkes
Be extremely careful about what you decide.
We've had so many incidents of trying to suppress new knowledge and it never works.
So suppressing what we know isn't the answer.
But making really sound, ethical choices about how this is going to be used must be done.
And I think that needs to include scientists, politicians, economists, public theologians.
I mean, it's a huge question across all levels of our culture.
art bell
Well, here's tonight's story, dated today, new scientists.
Chinese scientists are claiming a great leap forward in human cloning, the creation of dozens of cloned embryos advanced enough to harvest embryonic stem cells.
They're not stopping in China, Doctor.
They're plowing right on ahead.
Right.
And, you know, I guess the question is, can we afford not to?
It's the age-old question, I know.
dr joyce hawkes
Exactly.
art bell
Can we afford not to?
If other countries are going to go ahead no matter what, ethically, morally, whatever, if they're going to plow ahead, can we afford not to?
dr joyce hawkes
Profound question, totally important one, and frustrating to scientists in the field here knowing that the research is going roaring ahead somewhere else and they're stopped while everybody's talking about it.
art bell
Yeah, exactly.
dr joyce hawkes
You know, so there's so many different points of view depending on which side of the laboratory bench you're sitting on.
art bell
Doctor, hold on.
We'll be right back.
It's the bottom of the hour.
We have only just begun.
unidentified
See what's become of me.
I look around all my possibilities with your money and you make myself in sorrow.

art bell
Actually, I should read more of this story to you from the Chinese or about the Chinese in news scientist, very respected magazine, actually, dot-com news service in this case.
It's pretty.
What we're doing is pretty freaky.
unidentified
What we're doing is pretty freaky.
art bell
Chinese scientists are claiming a great leap forward in human cloning.
The creation of dozens of cloned embryos advanced enough to harvest embryonic stem cells.
Their intention is not, they say, to copy human beings, but rather to create genetically matched cells to make tissues for transplant patients and for research.
The work has not yet been reported in any peer-reviewed journal, but it was reported in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.
Experts familiar with the work going on say three or four other Chinese labs have made similar or even greater unnamed strides forward.
Another team based at Shanghai No. 2 Medical University claims to have derived stem cells from hybrid embryos composed of human cells and rabbit eggs.
We'll be right back.
Well, I know everybody jumped up and down when Dolly was cloned successfully, finally.
Not that the public got the details of what it took to get Dolly cloned, but, you know, everybody jumped up and down.
Now we have cloned cats.
I saw a pair of kittens the other day that were cloned.
Thing is, there's something wrong with Dolly, right, Doctor?
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah, and I'm not sure what.
I don't follow that really closely.
art bell
It seems like premature aging or some really weird something is wrong with Dolly.
So, yeah, we should move on the one hand slowly, but on the other hand, the nation that I suppose develops this develops some sort of national advantage.
So I guess we're both glad we're not the ones deciding whether to pursue it or not.
All right, so anyway, here you were deeply involved in this work, and kaboom, you had an NDE.
How did this occur?
dr joyce hawkes
I was cleaning house, which was a very rare phenomenon for me anyway.
I always thought it was, you know, a sign, don't do that anymore.
I had a leaded glass window.
It was a decorative one encased and it had an oak frame around it.
It was on the mantle above a fireplace.
art bell
Leaded glass is really heavy.
dr joyce hawkes
It's really heavy.
And this thing just vaulted off and whacked me on the head.
I remember seeing it fall, and I didn't bump the mantle.
There's no reason for it to fall.
It had been there for several years and never budged.
So that's always puzzled me.
And when it, I had never heard of near-death experiences.
I was, this was in the late 70s, and there were a rash of them then.
It was just about the time Ray Moody put his first book out, but I was a scientist.
I was working hours and hours in the lab.
I had no interest in spirituality.
I had no belief in an afterlife.
That was all wonko stuff out there somewhere else.
art bell
Yeah.
I understand.
So as best you're able, describe, you remember actually seeing this thing coming at you?
dr joyce hawkes
I remember just the glint in the corner of my eye.
And I put my hands up, but it got me on the head.
And I just remember falling, and all of a sudden, I was no longer in my body.
I was scooting down a long dark tunnel, the classic tunnel, just as fast as could be.
art bell
Actually, classic tunnel is white.
dr joyce hawkes
It's white, really?
art bell
Yeah, a classic tunnel is white.
You were going down a dark tunnel, huh?
dr joyce hawkes
Dark, but there was light at the end.
art bell
Well, okay.
That may be fairly consistent then.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah, drawn towards the light at the end magnetically.
art bell
Very typical, Ben.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
And right at the entrance, my mother and grandmother were there greeting me.
And they had been dead for some years.
They were two people that I really loved and felt known by.
art bell
Do you recall how they appeared to you, Doctor?
Did they appear as you had last seen them or of a younger age?
dr joyce hawkes
Younger age.
They were both middle-aged, healthy, happy.
art bell
Really?
dr joyce hawkes
And vibrant and communicated with me, not in words, but it was clear that we were connecting and conversing through our minds.
art bell
Do you remember specifically what was said?
unidentified
No, it wasn't like a...
dr joyce hawkes
What was imparted is they were fine, they were happy, they were so happy to see me that I was loved and whoosh, then on into this other place.
But it was recognition and everything is fine was the kind of take-home message.
But then I moved from there almost through this opening and just stopped in a place that was very colorful.
I mean, there were hills and flowers.
art bell
Do you remember the manner of the movement?
I mean, from the point where you were with your grandparents to you began moving again.
Just, I mean, as in flying, as in how would you describe the motion from point A to point what we're trying to think of as point B?
dr joyce hawkes
That's a really good question.
It's almost as if I was with them and then inside.
art bell
And then just boom, inside.
dr joyce hawkes
Inside, yeah.
art bell
All right, so without the sensation of time passing and actual travel, just sort of a change.
Okay.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
art bell
Okay.
Well, it sounds like a sort of grandparent vallium.
You've arrived at another place.
Everything's going to be okay.
Familiar faces telling you that.
We're imparting that information to you.
Very interesting.
And then where were you?
dr joyce hawkes
And then I was just inside this glorious place.
The quality of it, the quality of the light, I have always puzzled about.
And it was as if everything was lit from within itself.
The grass had this brilliance, but light was coming from it, not reflected from it, but generated from it, coming to you.
art bell
I'm sorry, the light coming from what?
dr joyce hawkes
Grass, the hills.
art bell
Oh, grass.
All right, so you were in a world.
dr joyce hawkes
I was in a landscape, of a sense, yeah.
art bell
But none you recognize?
dr joyce hawkes
None I recognize.
art bell
Hills and grass and light grass, sort of emanating from the grass.
dr joyce hawkes
Right.
art bell
All right.
dr joyce hawkes
Laser-like colors, not harsh, very beautiful, but scintillating colors.
art bell
Do you remember a sky?
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
art bell
Like our sky?
Different?
dr joyce hawkes
Well, the quality of blue is more color than it was clouds or something specific.
But the color was like when I used to climb mountains and you're up above 10,000 feet.
There's a quality of blue in the sky that's just gorgeous.
And it's unlike where there's more atmosphere.
art bell
Well, at that altitude, it starts to take on almost a purple, a blue-purple.
dr joyce hawkes
Yes.
art bell
And if you get high enough, it gets black.
But that is what you remember.
you remember a world.
It seemed to be a real physical world to you.
You could see, could you see, did you have a sense of self?
Could you see any your hands, your feet, your legs, your body?
Were you there?
Were you even noticing yourself, or were you just detached totally from the physical?
dr joyce hawkes
Was not noticing myself at all.
It was I was an observer.
I was present.
My consciousness was clearly there, but I don't recall seeing my feet or hands.
art bell
Or even being aware that you had them?
dr joyce hawkes
No, and it was so totally enthralling that I was focused completely on what was around me.
art bell
The experience, yes, okay.
dr joyce hawkes
And then, boom, again, this sort of shift of place and state from there to the presence of a being of light.
And in that, no features, but just incredible light and the emotions were profound peace, incredible joy.
It was one of those places you just, a state of being one never wants to leave.
I did not have a life review like a lot of people do, but I had the knowing.
It was like this knowing dropped in that there were no secrets and there was no judgment.
art bell
Did you have, as we now describe it, you and I, doing this program, did you have real-time consciousness the whole time?
dr joyce hawkes
No.
art bell
No?
dr joyce hawkes
I don't think so.
art bell
In other words, you were not thinking about your experience as it was occurring to you.
dr joyce hawkes
Oh, no.
art bell
Considering it, the implications of it, thinking, oh, wow, I'm dead.
dr joyce hawkes
Oh, no, not at all.
art bell
Okay.
dr joyce hawkes
Uh-uh.
Things are moving.
Then there's too much going on, I guess.
I know.
That never occurred to me over there.
unidentified
Huh.
art bell
All right.
A being of light.
Described by many, many, many people.
dr joyce hawkes
Yes.
art bell
And what came from it?
dr joyce hawkes
Again, this incredible emotion of peace, of belonging, of oneness, of everything being as it should, of knowing, being known totally and not judged in any way.
Just profoundly, deeply in loved.
I had no discussion about staying or coming back.
And bingo, all of a sudden I was back on the floor with a really sore head.
art bell
Was there any indication prior to your zapping back that you were going to be sent back?
dr joyce hawkes
No.
art bell
Not.
dr joyce hawkes
No, not for me.
art bell
So here you are back in your body and the pain of the real world suddenly crashes in, I'm sure.
dr joyce hawkes
Yep, I have a big gash on my head, but the blood all over the top of my head is dry.
This was not like a two-second flash.
art bell
Oh, so how long...
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
art bell
Oh, my my.
dr joyce hawkes
All matted and yucky.
art bell
So how long were you away?
dr joyce hawkes
That's been a very difficult thing for me to figure out.
The best I can guess is over an hour.
Because it was light when I was hit.
It was dark when I got back.
And, you know, it was in the evening.
So that's unusual.
And I've puzzled that for a long time.
What was that about?
I think the way I describe it is, I think I was rewired.
art bell
Rewired?
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
art bell
Rewired.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah, because what developed out of it, which happens to, as I understand, about a third of the people who have near-death experiences, is I truly came back with a gift for healing.
I had no knowledge of it at the time when I was laying there going, oh my goodness, my head hurts.
But understanding that unfolded and developed over a number of years.
art bell
All right, well, skipping ahead then to past recovery and all of that.
What was the first indication you had?
How did you begin to realize that you were now different?
dr joyce hawkes
I took a class from a man who had studied at the University of Iowa with a super learning group, and I was trying to learn how to memorize better because I was writing a lot of papers.
And so he did this little thing.
We listened to a tape, and he told about his little kitty and the whiskers on the kitty cat.
And as I was trying to visualize this so I could learn to memorize better, this had nothing to do with NDEs.
It was all about science.
It was as if I was walking around the place where he had recorded it.
I could see pictures on the wall.
I could see details of the chair he sat in.
I could see a two-sided fireplace.
They were not guesses.
They were so accurate.
art bell
How long a period of time between recovery from bump on the head to what we're talking about right now was there?
dr joyce hawkes
Oh, probably five or six months.
art bell
Five or six months?
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah, things didn't move fast for me.
The first thing that happened to me is I said, this is just, that's what happens.
You get hit on the head.
You have some weird vision.
And I denied the whole thing.
I just went, yuck.
And when I was recovering, I was flat on my back for a while.
I went to a favorite bookstore in downtown Seattle and found Ray Moody's book.
I stood in Elliott Bay bookstore and I read the entire book rooted on the spot.
I bought it.
I mean, I did.
But here were story after story after story.
And one of the things, the bylines in my lab had been, if what we're finding with our research is real, repeat It let's make sure it's accurate.
art bell
Of course.
dr joyce hawkes
And I went, I can't run away from this experience because, look at all these people who've had something similar.
So that started a lot of exploration for me, a lot of reading on consciousness studies and talking to people and the IANS group, International Association for Near-Death Studies.
art bell
I take it you were not prepared in the interest of duplication to take another shot from the leaded glass, right?
unidentified
No way.
art bell
But nevertheless, you wanted to know what had happened to you, and when you began to find out that what you experienced was not unique, that must have affected you severely.
dr joyce hawkes
It did.
And it was a mystery and a sort of, well, so why me and what does this mean?
And I started exploring some of the local healers and took some classes and just very slowly.
art bell
That's a knowing, that's some sort of ESP ability you just, I think, talked about.
How does that translate to healing?
dr joyce hawkes
It translates in being able to read the body, to see in the body.
And when I'm working, there are times when it's as if a person's body opens and I can see inside.
I see the cells.
I can see clusters of cells.
I'm drawn to places where there's a problem.
And in the work that I've done with healers in other cultures, they describe the same thing.
art bell
Well, that's what Edgar Casey did.
dr joyce hawkes
Ah.
art bell
Right?
dr joyce hawkes
I don't know.
That's very interesting.
art bell
In other words, he, too, is said to have had the ability to look into somebody at the cellular level and go to the area where the problems were.
He may have done it in a very different way than you do it, but the MO was the same.
dr joyce hawkes
That's very interesting.
I have great respect for him.
I haven't studied his material deeply.
But that's very consistent with what I found with the really authentic Philippine healers and the Balinese healers.
art bell
So you went to the Philippines?
dr joyce hawkes
I did.
I went because I wanted to find healers in other parts of the world that were really good.
And I'd heard about psychic surgery.
art bell
I was just curious.
Okay, I want to talk a little bit about that.
Some of the surgery that's gone on in the Philippines.
Most Americans, many Americans, have seen, I think, the video on these news shows of Filipino doctors that are shown to be actually unbelievably, I mean, they reach into their bodies.
We're not talking about surgery with scalpel.
We're talking about a hand going into a body.
Is that baloney?
dr joyce hawkes
Well, I don't know.
The healer I ran into over there was not a psychic surgeon.
And I worked with him for two and a half months.
The reason he wasn't was because he fainted the sight of blood.
But you could feel things moving around inside your body when he worked on you.
He was a very, very gifted healer.
And I heard lots of stories about psychic surgery, so I'm not one, I'm not an authority in any way on it.
What I know is, well, what I was told by Filipinos is that there are some of the psychic surgeons that truly do that, actually, have the ability to reach inside.
And there are others who roll stuff up in their hands.
And years ago...
There are frauds, and they were tested, and they used chicken blood and all this other stuff.
But I think there are some that are not.
art bell
That are not frauds.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Okay, hold on.
Hold it right there.
We're going to break at the top of the hour.
My guest is Dr. Joyce Hawkes, who had an NDE, walked away from microbiology.
And we'll tell you more in a moment.
unidentified
I walked in town on silver spurs and jingled to a song that I had only singed to just a few.
She saw my silver spurs and said it's past the time.
And I will give to you Summer wine Ooh Ooh Crying on the corner, waiting in the rain.
I swear I'll never ever wait again.
Gave me a word, words for you all our hearts.
Doing in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go when I would let you know.
Going to harden my heart.
You won't follow my tears as we need you all my life.
Waiting for you forever.

art bell
It is indeed.
Dr. Joyce Fox is my guest.
She proceeded from a very hardline scientific career as a cellular microbiologist to an NDE to healing.
That's what we're talking about.
We'll get right back to it.
The End All right, doctor, so you went racing around the world studying healers, psychic healers and healers of varying sorts, because you had concluded that you had the gift yourself that had occurred as a result of the NDE or some rewiring of your brain.
That's a good way to put it.
I've talked to an awful lot of people who have had what you've had, and they have never quite put it the same way, but the people I've talked to, for the most part, have come back with all kinds of abilities, some of which, doctor, began to fade after a number of years.
And they were very intense immediately following the NDE, but then began to sort of fade.
Obviously, in your case, that's not occurred.
Perhaps even the opposite.
dr joyce hawkes
It's true.
The opposites happen.
They've grown.
The gifts really have grown in the years.
And part of that has been my own practice of, you know, I do a lot of meditation, a lot of walking in the woods and sitting by mountain streams, which are real renewal places for me, and seeking internally that universal connection, the presence.
There are times I imagine I just kind of walk back over there, and it's certainly not like it was in the NDE, but the connection has never failed.
art bell
Okay.
What is it that you actually are able to do?
Now, at the beginning of the program, I said there would be a casual relationship between your scientific work and what you're now able to do in the world of healing.
Actually, there could be more than just a casual relationship.
Being a cellular biologist, why I would guess that if you're actually able to be inside a person, in a sense, diagnosing and or treating them in some way with your mind, then it would be far easier for you to imagine the actual physical aspects of what you're doing.
But I'm just guessing at that.
dr joyce hawkes
No, you're right on.
art bell
I am.
dr joyce hawkes
You're absolutely true.
art bell
Really?
Okay.
What are you able to do, Doctor?
Straight out.
What can you do?
dr joyce hawkes
Let me read you just a very short few sentences from a book that was published about some work that I did.
This was published in the year 2000 by Melvin Morse.
art bell
Oh, Melvin Morse, all right.
dr joyce hawkes
It's his book, Where God Lives.
unidentified
Yes.
dr joyce hawkes
This is a quote directly from it.
Mel says, I have seen and heard the success stories of many of Dr. Hawk's patients, but the example I want to use here is a personal one, that of a friend, Sue Volentz.
And I'm skipping some sentences down.
That's fine.
She had been injured and was dying and was in a wheelchair, had not been able to walk.
art bell
Why was she dying?
dr joyce hawkes
Because the trauma caused a form of nerve damage called reflex neuromuscular dystrophy, RND.
And she was not getting better and apparently Mel felt that she was dying.
I didn't know that.
So he says, I convinced her to fly to Seattle to meet with Dr. Hawkes.
Sue flew out to see me, as open-minded as always, and I took her to see Dr. Hawkes.
The healer had Sue lie down and quickly moved her hands over her body about three to five inches from the surface of her skin.
She immediately identified a cold spot on the area of Sue's original injury.
Ever the skeptical scientist, I had not told Dr. Hawkes the nature of Sue's problem.
I wanted to see for myself if she could detect damage to the nervous system, which she did.
She then spent an hour using her body as a conduit, opening healing channels to bring energy into Sue's body.
For the first time in four years, Sue began to walk.
She had not walked for four years before seeing Dr. Hawkes and walked after seeing her.
art bell
Oh, my.
All right.
Let's back up a little bit.
In his description of what you did, when you move your hands over somebody, what are you feeling?
What are you sensing?
Can you put words to what you're feeling?
dr joyce hawkes
I can try.
There are so many things that happen all at once that it's like being in a quantum state, I think, where you get this sudden chunk of information.
art bell
Give us your best shot, though, of what you feel.
dr joyce hawkes
What I feel first is where energy is flowing and where it's not flowing.
And I think that wherever energy is blocked in a person's body, there's going to be some kind of physical problem or disease.
And most of Chinese medicine and acupuncture is based on that theorem that energy has got to move and flow through the body.
So the first thing I do is I check to see where are the blockages.
Once I know that or sense that, and I feel it as heat or cold or as sluggish or moving fast, then I just.
art bell
moving fast.
Yeah, sometimes energy will be Okay, so in other words, a disruption in what you would regard as the normal flow of energy in any of those ways.
dr joyce hawkes
Right.
art bell
Okay.
All right.
dr joyce hawkes
And a part of that is learning quickly what is the energy flow Of that individual, almost the language of their body.
art bell
You mean what is normal for them?
dr joyce hawkes
That's right.
People are different.
And I don't believe in a system where I'm trying to impose a template of the energy should flow this way, but trying to listen to what is their normal flow and then helping support that, working from their strength and querying wherever they're blocked.
art bell
When you're in the middle of this process and your patients are queried about what they feel, what do they say they feel, if anything?
dr joyce hawkes
They usually do.
They don't always.
I mean, the responses are all so different.
It's one of the things that makes it interesting.
But people feel immediately trusting, usually.
They immediately feel relaxed.
They say, oh, man, I haven't felt this relaxed in years.
They feel tingling in their body.
Sometimes they'll feel heat.
Sometimes their bodies will just get really hot.
But there's like a response of the nervous system that records it as this kind of shivery tingle, and they'll feel it all the way down their body, which is a good feedback that things are moving.
And that's how I view it.
art bell
And you think this is totally separate and distinct from whatever anticipation they had in coming to you?
In other words, they're probably anticipating something unusual happening to them.
They're going to a healer.
It's a last resort for a lot of people.
You know, I mean, after all, a lot of people do not believe in this.
You certainly once did not.
dr joyce hawkes
You're right.
art bell
So a lot of people don't believe in it, and I would think would do it only as a complete last resort.
Right?
dr joyce hawkes
Right.
art bell
So they have some anticipation about what's going to occur.
There are those who would say it's the placebo effect, to which you would say what?
dr joyce hawkes
Well, if placebo effects actually help their health and get somebody out of wheelchair, then yay for placebo effects.
art bell
Well, that's true.
dr joyce hawkes
You know, and I, you know, not every healing is effective.
There are times when nothing happens, and there are times when just a teeny bit happens, and then there are times when something quite spectacular happens where a tumor measurably goes from large to itsy-bitsy or goes away.
There's a woman that had a blood disease and needed transfusions every four months or so.
And this had gone on for several years.
She was working with a hematologist in Seattle and came to me.
We worked three or four times.
I got, there are times when there's clearing and then there's information about the body that comes up.
And there was some information about an injury, a surgery she had had, and we worked on clearing that and then worked deeply at the cell level.
There's another stage beyond the clearing where it feels like I'm drawn very deep into the body to the cells, almost like bringing information of normal behavior, which I believe is in there all the time, to the cells.
And her body started producing blood cells, and she no longer needed transfusions.
She kept going back to the doctor to be checked for another year.
And finally, he said, you don't need to come back anymore.
art bell
Did he have any explanation for what?
dr joyce hawkes
None.
unidentified
None.
dr joyce hawkes
He had told her that she was going to be needing transfusions the rest of her life.
art bell
So, but he must have said something, I mean, from you're going to need transfusions for the rest of your life to, oh my gosh, you're okay now.
I don't need to see you anymore.
Or six months checkups or whatever.
In other words, healed.
The doctor's got to say something.
dr joyce hawkes
He did.
It was really cool.
He finally said, you don't need to come back anymore, even for checkups.
And she said, well, he said, if you don't feel good, go see your healer first.
art bell
Did he really?
unidentified
He did.
art bell
In other words, he had no other earthly explanation for what had occurred.
unidentified
I didn't.
art bell
When you go to somebody with a tumor, cancer, horrible cancer, how do you attack that tumor?
Or do you attack the tumor?
In what way do you cause the tumor to shrink or the cancer to recede instead of doing what it, well, cancer is out of control growth?
So how do you stop that?
dr joyce hawkes
Great question.
What I work with a person on is harmony and balance in the body, coming back to balanced cells that are not overgrowing.
There's nothing different in the chemistry of the cell that's going crazy and then one that's normal.
What's different is the regulation of that cell.
So it's about putting information into the cell and asking, I mean, one of the things I suggest for people on visualizing is just asking those cells to recycle their carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen and let their body come back again to balance and harmony.
I don't do little Pac-Men eating up bad cells.
The macrophages, which are one of the cells in the body that clean up debris, do come in and clean up the stuff, like after chemotherapy.
unidentified
Right.
dr joyce hawkes
But I work, I like to see this work and myself and other healers as team members, as part of a team helping people regain their health.
So their oncologist is a team member, the chemotherapy nurse is a team member, the radiation oncologist is a team member.
And this brings one more piece to help them.
It does not stand alone.
art bell
Well, what is your view of the way an oncologist would normally aggressively treat a cancer, a tumor or something of that sort?
I mean, after all, they're going to go after it with probably, from your perspective, a claw hammer.
That's right.
I mean, either irradiation or blunderbus chemicals that, you know, it's always like a race to see if it kills the person or the cancer first, right?
dr joyce hawkes
That's true.
Absolutely true.
art bell
Yeah, yeah.
So it takes you right down to the line with a kind of treatment.
How do you really feel about that?
I mean, you say you're working on a team, but when you look at the results of the oncologist, as opposed to what you're doing, I don't see how you can be on that team.
dr joyce hawkes
Well, it's like with a broken bone, sometimes you have to set the bone and put a cast on it.
And I think some of the best of Western medicine truly, truly save lives.
You know, I guess I'm at a point where I just accept that sometimes these tumors are big enough and aggressive enough that some strong measures need to be taken to back them off.
art bell
Stronger, stronger than you are capable of producing yet.
dr joyce hawkes
That's right.
And then I can work with a person to help them recover more quickly from chemotherapy to restore the body again to balance so that tumors don't recur.
And I would never ask somebody to not do chemotherapy.
I go to hospitals, I work with people there, and I work with this tool.
Maybe in the future there'll be something more sophisticated.
But right now, it's almost that we need that big mallet.
art bell
Well, that's the only mallet we've got at the moment.
Yes, we're working on other things, and of course the genetic sciences will open up probably the cure for cancer eventually.
dr joyce hawkes
Eventually, yes.
art bell
Eventually.
But right now, we just have those mallets.
So, yes.
I was just wondering how somebody who does what you do would be on that team, and you have explained that.
It's very interesting.
But there have been cases where you have been the only active treatment essentially going on, right, when you were approached.
dr joyce hawkes
Someone was diagnosed between the time of diagnosis and a biopsy, for example.
We did a lot of work, and tumors either reduced hugely or went away.
I've also worked with some people who, on their own, absolutely chose not to do chemotherapy, and I'm very uncomfortable with that.
art bell
You are very uncomfortable with that.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah, I very seldom do that.
But if that's their choice, I will work with them.
I just don't want people to have unrealistic expectations.
And in that, not take treatment in a timely manner that could help them.
I mean, there's still a scientist lurking in here, in me, you know.
unidentified
Yes.
Yes.
art bell
Tell me of the cases where you have done work without the assistance of regular physicians.
How have they come out?
dr joyce hawkes
One was a gentleman who was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and he was doing a number of things, including naturopathy supplements.
I don't know all of the things.
And I was one of the people helping and doing energy work with him.
A lot of unblocking of energy flow for him.
And we've probably worked, I would guess, maybe six sessions.
art bell
All right, you've got to say good and close to your phone.
And the results of the man, what happened?
dr joyce hawkes
PSA went back to normal.
Absolutely no evidence of tumor anymore.
art bell
I see.
All right, hold on, doctor.
That's really interesting.
Now, I know she would never say don't go to a doctor, but I had a feeling there were cases like that.
unidentified
Get a shiver in the dark.
It's raining in the park.

This is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell from the Kingdom of Time.
art bell
When the bullet hits bones, definite cellular changes immediately occur.
When whatever it is Joyce, Dr. Joyce Hawkes has hits the bones, cellular changes occur as well.
unidentified
We'll talk more with her in a moment.
art bell
All right, once again, back to Dr. Joyce Hawkes.
There were two motion pictures, Doctor, that affected me really deeply.
And I'm not sure if I properly remember the name of the first.
It was with Ellen Burston.
I bet you've seen it.
At least I would hope you have.
It was called Resurrection, I think.
dr joyce hawkes
I have.
art bell
You have seen that, yes.
Remarkable movie.
You recall in that movie for the drama, I guess, or maybe it is real, she was in a small town, and the people who saw her do what she did were pretty much fundamentalist religious people who demanded of her that she say that the power that she was conduiting or using came from God.
And she couldn't do that.
And that resulted in great grief for herself and others.
She could not bring herself to say that.
What about you?
dr joyce hawkes
That's not a problem for me.
I view it as God, but not in a religious sense.
As the work I've done with healers all over the world in very different religions have a sense of the divine, of the creator, of an energy that's in the universe larger than themselves.
However it's named, it's bigger than me.
It's not just energy-energy, but I feel it's a level of consciousness.
Now, it may turn out to be something that we can describe in quantum mechanics.
I don't know.
But the experience I've had on what I call the other side had such an emotional impact and was so profound that I can't say this just, I know it doesn't just generate out of me.
I can tell when I'm close to, when I'm really centered in a state of healing energy, I can feel it move in my body.
My body changes too.
art bell
All right, well, here's a fairly profound question for you.
You can heal somebody.
Could you harm somebody?
Could you use the very same power you have to harm somebody, to do cellular damage, to do something to somebody that would result in eventually ill health or even quickly ill health?
What is your opinion?
I assume you haven't tried it.
dr joyce hawkes
No, I haven't.
art bell
You haven't tried it.
But would your opinion be that power could be used either way or only for healing?
dr joyce hawkes
It's a great question.
art bell
A try.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
Logically, it's logically, I must answer, it could be used either way.
I have, in Bali, I've seen, I was at a temple once, and there was a man there who I could see the energy around him.
And I said to him, are you a Balian, a healer?
And he got this funny look on his face, and he said, oh, yeah, but I'm a certain kind.
You don't like this person, and I do a spell, and you like them a lot.
So there are traditions in other cultures, I don't, there probably are some here, too, where people do misuse that energy.
art bell
Just like everything else in life.
dr joyce hawkes
Everything else in life.
We sit in this wonderful place of having choice.
art bell
Do you know when you've done something or when you're above a patient and your hands are moving, do you know when you failed?
Or is that only in the telling of the patient and the results?
In other words, do you have a sense as you're doing it whether you are succeeding or not?
dr joyce hawkes
I usually do, and it's not 100%.
There have been times when I thought I just didn't do a thing.
I just, what did I miss?
And then I find out three or four days later, this person's had a really spectacular healing.
The healing does not always happen immediately.
It continues in the person for at least three or four days.
So when I'm working with someone new, I often ask them to kind of back off of an assessment and give it a little bit of time.
unidentified
What do...
art bell
What do other doctors now say to you?
I mean, when you tell them what you do, what happened to you and what you're able to do now, what do your old colleagues say?
dr joyce hawkes
Some of them say you're just, you know, you've gone sort of off to the deep end, and others became clients of mine.
art bell
Became clients?
dr joyce hawkes
Yes.
Others came to me for healing.
And others just said, you know, that's goofy stuff.
But I've been doing healing work full-time for 18 years now.
I've been out of the lab for quite a while.
art bell
There doesn't seem to be any sense to most people who acquire this ability.
I give you the second motion picture.
One that actually caused me to cry, and I don't cry at movies, The Green Mile.
dr joyce hawkes
Oh, yeah.
art bell
Yeah, The Green Mile.
Oh, God, what a movie.
In that case, a condemned prisoner who had the power to heal.
And there just doesn't seem to be any sense.
In his case, it was interesting because his brain was probably wired A little differently from the get-go.
And you mentioned that's how you acquired that power.
You think something essentially got rewired in your brain.
So I make that analogy.
In other words, his brain was already a wired.
He'd had that power apparently all his life, as many healers have.
dr joyce hawkes
Right.
Come right in with it.
art bell
And you just acquired yours late life.
And as a scientist, how did you personally begin to reconcile this?
I guess the NDE helped you a lot, but still, as a scientist, you must know that there's no rational explanation for what you're able to do.
dr joyce hawkes
That's right.
And it's been a real struggle.
I mean, there were times early on when I thought, what am I doing this for?
Why I should still be doing science.
And I have always looked for what is the evidence?
Is this real?
What's happening?
And I still struggle with what could be happening at a cell level to explain this.
And that's kind of fun.
I mean, there's new material.
Just last year, Scientific American did a whole issue on nanotechnology.
And one of the articles included something about the nanosphere and biology, that the cell is the right size and has the right speed of reactions to be a quantum field.
Quantum effects occur in the cell as well as macro effects.
And in quantum effects, there's no time and space.
We cancel those out.
So we're in connection with the tremendous energy of the universe.
art bell
Are you aware of any of the work that has been going on, ongoing now, for a number of years at Princeton University?
unidentified
No.
art bell
No.
With people being able to affect random number generators with their mind.
They've been doing a lot of studies at Princeton.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah, and Dean Raden has done some of that.
art bell
Oh, you know, Dean Raden did.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
We're co-presenters at a meeting in Albuquerque.
And really interested in listening to his work yesterday.
art bell
Yes, yes.
Dean Raden helped conduct a very interesting experiment for this program some months ago in which we were able, this audience was able massively to affect some graphs that Dean Raden provided.
Amazing, amazing stuff.
We've done a number of experiments.
And so clearly, in my mind, there exists scientific evidence that the mind has power over something, perhaps at the quantum level.
And I wonder if some of that research might back up some of what you are able to do in the way you do it.
dr joyce hawkes
I think so.
I think that's the place to look because, for example, the pancreas doesn't heal.
It has no ability to do that.
The cells of the pancreas heal.
A human body has 70 trillion cells.
art bell
That's a lot of cells.
dr joyce hawkes
All starting from one.
And they all work together pretty well, which is just astonishing.
So if you're affecting something in the body to heal, you must ultimately affect the cells.
And since the cells have the flux of both quantum and macro effects, it just, I mean, that to me just fits for energies that human beings can generate or can transmit to be able to affect cells for healing.
art bell
It just seems that, given the power, you would be particularly adept at this with the understanding of cellular biology that you had going into this.
You would be a particularly interesting candidate to acquire this, I guess we'll call it a power.
What do you call it?
dr joyce hawkes
A gift.
And it is a power, I think.
colm kelleher
It's a gift.
dr joyce hawkes
I think part of my job, Art, is making the bridge now at this point in my life between the cell-level studies and the healing work.
I'm a decent healer.
And there are lots of healers out there.
But for some reason, I stand between these two worlds still.
And I hope my contribution can be to give some kind of support or rationality or ideas that people can test so that this kind of healing becomes available to people who need it.
Not through necessarily having to go to a healer, but finding a way to do this for themselves or integrating it in our medical practices so that there is a spiritual dimension and component that people can access.
art bell
Well, what about bringing it mainstream?
In other words, what about using scientific, the scientific method of repetition, to document, even if it's only by percentage, a sufficient number of healings, inexplicable healings, to bring it into mainstream?
dr joyce hawkes
Well, yeah, and people are doing that.
You know, Carol Hirschberg's book, Remarkable Recovery, is just a huge number of case histories that Institute of Noetic Sciences collected when Brendan O'Reagan was there.
And so there's a ton of data that's well documented on this.
The fact that it works, I think, is pretty solid.
Now we need to be at some place where someone can say, how can we test this to find out where the effects are?
art bell
You tell me, since you were The scientist and still are.
How can we test this, doctor?
dr joyce hawkes
I almost think it needs a non-human system at this point, like a cell, a culture system, so that there's no psychology in the middle of it.
What happens to the cells when, say, you grow cancer cells and you have healers work on the cancer cells?
Look at the biochemical changes.
Look at the electron microscopy.
Is there a structural change in the cell?
art bell
That would be one very, very good approach.
In other words, at the Petri dish level, you're separating it from the human being and psychological effects and the possibility of placebo and all the rest of it.
dr joyce hawkes
And you get out of this constant argument about just exactly what you said.
Placebo effect, person psychology, and so on.
art bell
Do you know whether any of that has been done yet or is being done?
dr joyce hawkes
You know, there are places where it's starting.
NIH is funding some of this research now.
art bell
Well, now there's a surprise.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah, they added an office of alternative medicine, and now it's become an institute.
My understanding is in the last year, they've begun to look at funding some studies somewhere, and I don't know where they are exactly, in energy work.
In the past, they've been funding efficacy of acupuncture and Chinese herbs, things that have already a pretty good history.
There's a group at the Cleveland Clinic that Dr. Joan Fox heads that is doing some of this research.
So there's little places tucked around where some of it's going.
And it's one of those things where funding is one of the issues.
Who's sticking their neck out to fund some of this work?
art bell
Right.
Who is?
unidentified
Who is?
art bell
Do you know?
dr joyce hawkes
Well, right.
There's some, as I said from NIH, some Cleveland Clinic is supporting.
There are little hints of it at the science and consciousness meeting where Dean Raden was.
So there's some private work going on, some of it in the public sector.
But it's exciting.
art bell
Would it be your view that if there is a quantum level effect, that one person in concentration would be as much as one million people in concentration or trying to heal?
In other words, would there be a collective effect, do you believe?
Or do you believe the power channels as easily through one as a million?
dr joyce hawkes
Ooh, ooh, that's fun.
Elizabeth Targ did a study, Russell Targ's daughter, on, I think they were cardiac patients recovering.
And she had large groups of people in all different religions and cultures and around the world praying for these people.
art bell
That's right.
dr joyce hawkes
It was a really good double-blind study.
I mean, clean as a whistle.
And the effects were significant.
Their recovery time, their feeling about their health and their recovery times were much improved with these groups.
art bell
I think it was a very impressive statistic.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
art bell
Very impressive, yeah.
dr joyce hawkes
And other people have done that with smaller groups or only one, say, one religious point of view and not gotten as significant a data point.
So that indicated to me there's some evidence that larger groups of people sending healing are more effective.
I've also been in the presence of some other really incredibly connected gifted healers, and I mean, they'll knock you over practically.
I was listening to the tape you ran from Red Elk and his stories about being able to move into a levitated state and jumping up and down going, yeah, there are people who can do that.
art bell
You believe there are.
dr joyce hawkes
Oh, yeah.
art bell
I want to ask you a little bit about I notice I don't see a book you've written.
Have you written a book?
dr joyce hawkes
I'm working on a book, and I've been working on it for about four or five years.
art bell
Four or five years.
dr joyce hawkes
And I keep sending it out, and it keeps getting rejected, and it's really frustrating, and I am still writing, and it's better now than it was before, and I'm right in the middle of that process.
I'm trying, again, to put this together so that it's useful to people.
art bell
Okay, so now, how do you handle it?
I mean, you've got to have people talk to people.
Everybody knows somebody who's got cancer or some disabling disease, and there must be people beating down your door.
Not quite literally, but beating down your door, more or less, trying to get you to help.
How do you decide when to help?
dr joyce hawkes
I have had a philosophy all these years, and this has been the way I state it.
I just ask, may the people I can actually help find me.
And I've never advertised.
This is the most outlandish thing I've ever done to.
art bell
Going on national radio?
unidentified
National radio.
art bell
Uh-huh.
dr joyce hawkes
And so over the years...
art bell
And I don't know how you're going to handle that.
dr joyce hawkes
I don't either.
art bell
Okay, stay right where you are.
We'll come right back.
And I'd like you to answer a few questions of the audience, if you would not mind.
Would you?
dr joyce hawkes
I'd be happy to.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
I have no way of knowing what they will ask.
unidentified
I never do.
art bell
But we've got an authentic healer on our hands.
Somebody who can really make a tumor go away.
Somebody who can correct a nervous system deficiency.
unidentified
That sort of thing.
art bell
That's what she says.
She is Dr. Joyce Hawks.
I'm Art Bell.
From the high desert, you're listening to Coast to Coast AM.
unidentified
The sun is burning.
He used to lean upon me as I pledge allegiance to the war.
Lord, I recall my little town coming home after school.
Flyin'my back past the gates of the factories My mom doing the laundry, hanging out shirts to the dirty grease.
And after it rains, there's a rainbow.
And all of the colors are black.
It's not that the colors were there.
It's just imagination.

art bell
If you have any questions for a real healer, in this case, Dr. Joyce Hawkes, now would be a good time.
Good morning, everybody.
It's an unusual opportunity.
Imagine it, somebody who was who is a PhD in microbiology, biophysics.
Imagine that.
Suddenly walking away and doing her healing the way she does it.
Absolutely incredible.
We'll get right back to her.
unidentified
We'll get right back.
art bell
All right, back now to Dr. Joyce Hawkes.
And, Doctor, this is a moment when you're going to have to think about what you're going to do next.
I'm going to ask you for any contact information you have in the way of phone numbers or email address or snail mail address or whatever you would like to give out or not give out.
dr joyce hawkes
People can reach me through my website, which is just kind of gotten put together.
It's joycehawks, all one word, h-a-w-k-e-s.com.
And there's an email link to my email.
There's also phone number and address of my office on that website.
art bell
Okay, let me just make sure that we've got this on my, a link on my website.
And the answer is we do.
We've got a link to your website right now.
So people can go there and there'll be plenty of contact information, email and phone numbers and all the rest of it, right?
dr joyce hawkes
Exactly.
art bell
Okay.
How does doing a healing affect you?
You may recall in the Green Mile, in Resurrection, there were effects on these people.
They were effectively drained of energy when they did healings.
Really drained.
In some cases, taking on the symptoms of those they healed for a period of time.
Is there anything like that in your case?
Or can you just go down an assembly line and heal and heal and heal without apparent effect on yourself?
dr joyce hawkes
No, I can't.
And I have experienced taking on people's symptoms.
In fact, early on I got quite ill doing that.
And I finally said, well, if I'm going to be doing this when I'm 80, we've got to learn to do something different.
So I learned how to, after each session, completely clear myself.
What I say in my mind to the person as they're leaving is, I don't say it out loud, I just say, I trust you to continue the healing work, and I ask that the hand of God holds you.
And then I come back to myself and just, I use an image of a spiral of light around my body, completely clear myself.
And I wait until I am clear before I start again.
So I don't carry anything over and so that I'm renewed myself because I really don't want to fry all my circus before the time is up.
art bell
So in the beginning, before you learned this, how sick did you actually get?
dr joyce hawkes
Oh, I got my people have weak spots in their bodies, you know, one system or another.
And mine's my chest.
It was my dad's spot, too.
And so I got really bad bronchitis.
I could not kick.
And probably it was a pneumonia.
And I was apprenticing with a healer at the time.
And he did a healing for me.
And he was just furious with me.
He said I had, I don't know, 18 different disease things going on and yada, yada, yada.
But it was frightening because I've always had a pretty healthy body and I wasn't just getting over this that I had.
So I mean, it really caught me up short and said, okay, there has to be a different way.
I teach a lot of other healers now.
I do classwork, and so it's one of the things I really address: how to keep oneself clear and safe in doing the work.
art bell
Okay.
Just thought I would ask.
Interesting answer.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Dr. Joyce Hawkes.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi, Joyce.
My name's Rich.
I'm calling from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
And I hope the noise in the background doesn't affect you hearing me okay?
dr joyce hawkes
I can hear you.
unidentified
Okay.
My question was, I have a friend.
He's got Huntington's disease.
It's a genetic disease.
And I had known him for 25, 30 years almost.
And I saw his mother die of this, and it just like withers him away.
And I guess there was three boys in the family.
Two of them have gotten this, and the other one got away with not having any effects from it.
But the one boy died already, fairly young.
And the other one, he's about my age.
I'm like 42.
And he's still hanging in there.
But, you know, how does this affect that genetically?
dr joyce hawkes
The way I look at that is in the collective consciousness, if you will, the information for normal nerve function is present.
And if there's some way he can connect with that, almost to reinform the cells of his body, he may be able to help himself.
It's a tough one.
Genetic diseases are some of the very most difficult ones because they are obviously coded in the DNA or miscoded in the DNA of that person.
unidentified
Right.
Like it kicks in at a certain age, at least it did with the two boys.
dr joyce hawkes
Right.
unidentified
Like they were fine all the way growing up until they were in their 20s and then they started exhibiting some signs of it first mentally and then, you know, started to affect them physically.
And now the one guy that's, my friend's still alive, he's got a daughter that's like 14 and there's a 50-50 chance she's going to come down with it.
And they had, you know, talked about what's going to happen, you know.
Now is it easier to take something like that if she would have it also?
Because it hasn't started to exhibit yet?
dr joyce hawkes
Yes.
Yes, I would imagine so.
art bell
In other words, Doctor, do you think you could affect somebody's genetic predisposition to a disease?
dr joyce hawkes
It's certainly possible, and it's about information in the body and altering that.
So, yes, it's theoretically possible.
art bell
Well, DNA is the instructive information to your body about what to do and when to do it, right?
unidentified
Yep.
art bell
So that's getting into a very interesting area as well.
dr joyce hawkes
It is.
It is.
art bell
And even more difficult, probably, or perhaps not, to prove.
I was about to say more difficult to prove because somebody ends up not getting something.
Well, you say, well, fine, they didn't get it.
You didn't have anything to do with it.
But I suppose with the science of genetics, that would be something they could concretely say.
Look, the genetic code here has changed.
This is not possible.
It's impossible.
dr joyce hawkes
Right.
art bell
Short of what you do.
dr joyce hawkes
Right.
The situation with the daughter, without a lot of really sophisticated testing, you wouldn't know whether she just didn't have it or if it was actually healed in her.
The bottom line is, whatever is done, one hopes that this young woman does not get it.
art bell
Sure, but for the sake of the world, if what you do and others like you do is real, then we must strive to prove it.
And I suppose a fairly complex genetic study and then an effect that you might have, and then another genetic study would go a long way, wouldn't it, toward proving that what you're doing deserves to be mainstream and available to all kinds of people with terrible illnesses.
And it would be if there was some scientific proof.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
All right.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air with Dr. Joyce Hawkes.
unidentified
Hi.
art bell
Yeah, Vart and Dr. Hawkes.
Yes, sir.
I had a comment and a question following that.
All right.
The comment was pertaining to a fast blast you had earlier, asking if Dr. Hawkes thought she could possibly also have the power to do harm as well as good.
Well, I asked that, and I think you heard the answer.
Right, but I was, you know, the comment actually was, I know Edgar Casey, you made a connection with him earlier also.
You know, it seems like people that have this gift go through an epiphany of some sort.
Right.
Casey had his, and I know he fretted for years, thinking that possibly he wasn't doing God's work.
You know, it could have been Satan who was, you know, the one that was coming through him, Casey being a very, you know, devout Christian.
Oh, yes.
And just my personal feeling is, and just as Casey had fretted, you know, so much over that, the fact that if you do choose to do harm this way, probably your power to heal, you know, would be eliminated.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, if you heard our discussion, we simply, I think, agreed that it is a power.
So with you having free will, if you want to look at it that way, I suppose you could have an epiphany halfway through being a bad guy and start to heal.
Right.
So the power could Be used really either way in all probability.
Well, that's the same thing.
I was thinking that if you were using it to actually be a healer and heal people of whatever disease they may have, if you choose to actually use it for harm, you'll probably go the other direction too.
dr joyce hawkes
The other piece of this is that as my experience of doing the work has continued to change me, I have become a more compassionate, loving person.
I've become a more spiritual person in doing the work.
My life isn't static in that way.
And so the choices that I make now are towards the healing.
I can't conceive of trying to misuse this or harm someone.
And we talked about theoretically, yeah, it could be used one way or another, but there is a process where you become more confident that you will make the choices that will help people because you're changing inside.
art bell
Have you ever heard Gordon Michael Scallion's story?
No?
He's an interesting fellow who was a businessman, very, very important businessman, and he got up to speak in front of a bunch of people who are going to invest millions of dollars based on what he was about to say.
And something happened, and he lost his voice.
I mean, his voice totally went away.
Ambulances came screaming in, took him to the hospital.
He had what I guess you would almost call an NDE.
He saw a lot of geometric shapes and colors and began to get the ability to do what you do to diagnose and heal people.
Except Gordon still to this day has not learned, and Gordon would verify this, I'm sure, if he was here right now, he hasn't learned to handle it.
And it makes him not well.
It gives him horrible headaches.
It actually produces times when he will just sort of break away from everybody for six months.
He'll go off and be away from everybody somewhere in the woods, you know, a nice cabin somewhere in the woods, and he'll just isolate himself because he just can't stand that much close contact and knowledge.
dr joyce hawkes
Wow.
art bell
But that didn't happen to you.
Somehow you've learned to handle it.
dr joyce hawkes
I run off to the woods every other weekend.
I don't let it build.
Yes.
So, yeah.
I mean, there is a management of this.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
First-time caller line, you're on the air with Dr. Hawkes.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi, Dr. Hawkes.
My name's Corey.
I'm calling from Birmingham, Alabama.
art bell
Corey, you're going to have to speak up good and loud for us.
unidentified
I'm sorry.
My name's Corey.
I'm calling from Birmingham, Alabama.
I was wondering if you had ever worked with any HIV patients or had dealt with any HIV patients that you had actually, you know, helped maybe raise their T cells or even get rid of the disease.
art bell
Good question.
dr joyce hawkes
I have worked with them a lot of men earlier on, you know, 10 years ago.
And I was able to slow the disease down, not to reverse it, but to almost stop the viruses.
So that was one part of it with people who were not full-blown AIDS.
The other part of the work that I did was helping many people cross over.
I am not afraid of death, and I am called from time to time to be with people who are dying.
art bell
All right, but let's go back to the T cell counts.
If somebody has not yet come down with full-blown AIDS, and certainly 10 years ago, they would measure, if I recall correctly, they'd measure the amount of virus in the blood, right?
dr joyce hawkes
Right, the titers, yes.
art bell
Now, what kind of actual effects could you produce?
dr joyce hawkes
I don't have any hard data on that.
I did work with people who felt better, got better, sustained their health for a longer period of time, but no one that was cured was not able to help anybody get a complete cure.
art bell
Any ideas why that was particularly problematic as opposed to going after cancer cells or whatever?
dr joyce hawkes
You know, there's something about that particular virus and its ability to constantly mutate.
It's like chasing something that just, I guess the kids would say, morphs all the time so that it was different every time.
And finding a way to move the virus out so it no longer had an effect and then to build the body back up.
I mean, those were two directions to work with.
Build the body back up, stop the virus.
art bell
So you were after a moving target, just like the scientists that are actually after the virus biologically.
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
art bell
Oh, okay.
Gotcha.
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Dr. Joyce Hawks.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi.
Good morning, Art, Dr. Hawk.
This is Mark from Melbourne, Australia.
And I've got a question to ask about.
art bell
You're calling from Melbourne, Australia on my wildcard line?
unidentified
Yep.
art bell
Okay.
dr joyce hawkes
Wow.
art bell
All right, fine.
unidentified
I've got a question.
I've been doing this almost all my life, and I'm close to 60.
And in the last couple of years, what's been happening with me is that I've actually, like in my mind's eye, been seeing the internals of people's problems in their particular organ.
It doesn't matter what it is, and actually seeing it down on a cellular level.
And some information that kind of intuitively came to me was that basically the energy is like light, but that light is like binary information on a cellular level.
And what it's attempting to do is to bring harmony and balance back in to that individual at all levels, but specifically at a cellular level.
So, my question is: as you've been going on, have things been changing in you where you've been seeing more detail or knowing more about it?
art bell
Okay, that's a really good question.
I'm going to go ahead and disconnect you and not hold you over since you're in Australia.
And we will ask the question about detail and whether the resolution has been improving as this gift has been exercised.
Very, very good question.
We'll do that after the bottom of the hour break.
Mark Bell, this is Coast to Coast AM from the high desert in a little town called Toronto.

This is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell from the Kingdom of Nine.
art bell
It certainly is.
We've got a healer on the line, Dr. Joyce Hawks.
Absolutely a fascinating case.
She was a scientist, hardcore scientist, had an MDE, came out of it, and months later began to heal.
Went around the world, looked at other healers, looked at what was being done, and is now doing her own work.
Amazing stuff.
There are things in our world that we cannot yet explain.
That does not mean they are not so.
It just really means we cannot yet explain them.
Just a little preview for you, because my back blew me out for the last couple of days.
Tomorrow night, we've moved Major Ed Dames to tomorrow night.
And we will be touching on things tomorrow night like the source of the mystery rash, the origin of the fossilized tooth that was taken from the core sample, a designated terrorist target on U.S. mainland soil,
the nature of collective consciousness, a psychokinetic PK effect that with Dean Raden's help we showed to be true, a Project Starman update, Osama bin Laden's present whereabouts, that sort of thing, all tomorrow night here on Coast, right now.
It's back to our guest.
Doctor?
Lots of people would like to speak with you, but I did want to cover quickly that man's question.
I thought it a pretty good one.
In other words, with your background, as the gift has progressed with you, have you been able to work and see in a more detailed fashion as you have developed the gift?
Is it something that continues to be honed?
dr joyce hawkes
Yes, it is.
It develops all the time.
There's two components to that, I believe.
One is with experience, you see the same two dots and you go, okay, we'll connect these two again.
I know those dots.
So there's a learning that says, uh-huh, and so you're much quicker at working with that particular situation.
But there's also a process of deepening as one continues one's own work and meditation, contemplation, whatever you want to call it, so that a healer develops and deepens all the time.
art bell
All right.
Back to the lines.
First time call our line.
You're on the air with Dr. Holtzheim.
unidentified
Hey, Art.
Hey, Joyce.
dr joyce hawkes
Hi.
unidentified
Hey, my name is Terry.
I'm a police officer in the Southern California.
You're listening to KFI 640.
Yes, sir.
Just something hit me when you guys were talking earlier.
You know, Joyce, you say you heal these people and you kind of get these symptoms sometimes.
Do you ever worry about working with an HIV person that you could contract a disease?
dr joyce hawkes
Good question.
No, I don't because I really pay attention to clearing my body at all levels energetically after I do a healing.
Now, what drives that is the desire to continue this gift as long as I can be of help.
unidentified
Yeah, because I was just thinking, since there's no cure and you contract it, what do you do?
art bell
Well, the answer is, I think, that she does not contract it.
But I wonder, Doctor, early in your, and by the way, police officers are in real danger every day working with the public of contracting that disease.
But early in your career, could you have made that tragic mistake?
Could that happen to a healer?
In other words, the gift is there.
They don't yet even begin to know how to control it.
They encounter somebody with something as serious as HIV and their own immune system becomes compromised in the process.
dr joyce hawkes
You know, it's certainly possible.
And the most natural healing technique there is is to take someone else's stuff on.
We are empathic in that sense.
There are lots of teachings in our culture about not doing that, having boundaries so that you don't take someone else's illness in.
But in the Tibetan traditions, the ancient Tibetan texts teach their healers to consciously take someone else's pain or illness.
They believe that they build in their meditation so much light and energy in their heart space that whatever illness or disease comes in is then transformed.
art bell
Gotcha.
dr joyce hawkes
So it calls each of us to take care of ourselves.
art bell
Gotcha.
All right.
Wildcard line, you are on the air with Dr. Joyce Hawks.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi, this is Dick from Cleveland.
art bell
Okay, you're going to have to speak up another wonderful cell phone connection, I can tell you.
unidentified
Sorry.
Sorry.
art bell
That's our case.
unidentified
Doctor, I was just wondering if you work on psychological problems and or alcoholism or drug addiction.
art bell
Ah, interesting.
Very interesting, actually.
Doctor.
dr joyce hawkes
Good question.
art bell
But yeah, what about psychological?
After all, that's also some sort of cellular difficulty, right?
dr joyce hawkes
Exactly.
Biochemistry of the brain.
I do work with psychological problems.
I am trained as a counselor and registered as one, and I've done quite a bit of training in that realm so that I'm somewhat savvy with disorders that I know I can't touch, I can't work with, and others that I can.
I have a number of psychologists that refer to me.
So what I often do is work in tandem with them.
So they're working with someone coming out of a trauma, for example, and they're doing a traditional talk, psychotherapy.
Person comes to me and I do energy work with it.
What we've known, what we see is that people get well much faster.
The work helps depression.
It helps move people from post-traumatic stress syndrome.
With addictions, I will not work with anybody who is actively using.
I ask them to go to treatment and then come for help or to be...
It doesn't work.
I haven't been able to help them come out of the addiction without other help.
So I ask them to either do AA or go to treatment.
And then let me help them stabilize so that they can, it really helps them move away from it, but it doesn't seem to stop it.
And that's only me.
I mean, there's lots of healers with lots of different abilities and gifts.
Mine, there's certain things that seem to work really well and other things that I'm not as effective with.
art bell
Can you name the things that you are particularly effective with?
dr joyce hawkes
I'm particularly affected with arthritis, with inflammatory disease, with very effective with MS, with detoxing people and with the cancers.
So a lot of the physical and the non-physical or the more psychological behavioral things, I'm quite effective with depression, helping people move out of that.
art bell
All right.
East of the Rockies, you are on the air with Dr. Joyce Hawks.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
How are you doing?
art bell
Okay, sir.
unidentified
Hi, Joyce.
It's Joe from Boston.
Hi.
Hi, Joyce.
Are you a comment and a question?
Joyce, I am blind and I cannot get to your website, so if you'd be kind to give your contact information, I'd appreciate it.
Do you help cats and animals with cancer and people that have suffered years of mental abuse and have memory problems and fear and can't do much and have been estranged from their family?
Because a lot of people don't believe in these healers because some of them are outrageous in their prices.
The ones that are really true don't charge for people that don't have it and charge for the people that have it.
You know, that's the way it should be.
art bell
All right.
Good question.
Questions, I guess.
Have you ever attempted healings with animals?
dr joyce hawkes
Yes, I have.
art bell
You have.
dr joyce hawkes
I have.
I have some great animal stories.
Let me give you a really quick one.
art bell
Sure.
dr joyce hawkes
Somebody brought a dog to me that was a Shepherd Wolf Cross.
It was a one-person dog.
And he had a heart murmur, and it was serious enough they were going to have to put him down.
Well, at that time where my office was, I couldn't bring him in the office because I had people who had severe allergies.
So I would go out and get in the back seat of this person's car to work on this dog.
Now, I love dogs, and I have two of my own, but this one was really big, and he really had big teeth.
And he just eyed me, and he was not, like, real friendly about all of this.
So I talked to him, put my hand on his chest, worked for just a little bit, and then he just sat there for a while, and then he growled.
He went, so I said, okay, thank you very much.
Goodbye.
She brought him back probably three or four times, and then he got friendly.
He'd wag his tail, and I'd do my stuff, and he would allow me to work a little bit longer, but there was always a point where he ended the session.
Take him back to the vet, and there was absolutely no sign of heart murmur in this dog.
He lived a full, complete life.
art bell
Wow.
dr joyce hawkes
And he was friendly.
I got to see him from time to time.
He would wag his tail and come up and lick me.
It was just so cool.
art bell
How do you think that dog knew that enough had been done or that it wasn't going to allow anymore or that I would think enough had been done or that the right thing had been done and that was enough?
dr joyce hawkes
I know.
I don't know how they know, but they know.
And little kids are that way.
I've often, I've worked with small children.
I've worked in neonatal nurseries.
I've worked in trauma units when a child's been severely injured.
And man, there's just they just hook it up like little sponges, and then there's a point where it is enough, and boy, you know it, and you just stop.
art bell
Isn't that interesting?
That's really interesting.
Animals and little children.
That's really interesting.
I have no idea what it means.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air with Dr. Hawks.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, this is Joe in San Diego listening on Cogo and KFI.
art bell
Oh, of course.
unidentified
Yep, I can't believe I got through.
I didn't think it would be so easy.
art bell
It did happen, huh?
unidentified
Yeah, I couldn't believe it.
And your back, by the way?
Can you tell there was something wrong with your back when you were talking with Richard C. Hoagland?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
I said to my friend, I said, art's not feeling good.
art bell
I can't tell.
unidentified
Sorry about that, Art.
I hope it feels better.
I love your show.
But let me get to my question.
I'm Joe, Joe in San Diego, and I'm also legally blind.
I guess he was fully blind, which is kind of an interesting coincidence.
But my question is, my mother's got a whole bunch of symptoms, like connective tissue disorder, autoimmune problems.
She's got the fibromyalgia.
And I was wondering if you've worked with people who have these complexes where they have many different syndromes.
dr joyce hawkes
Yes.
And that's one where healers are often very effective because the body is turned against itself.
And so reversing that so the body is no longer misreading its own tissue is in the realm of stuff that's really possible.
And it does help those conditions.
unidentified
So definitely worthwhile to have her.
Check out your website, huh?
dr joyce hawkes
Yes, or find a local healer down there.
If she wants to write me, I'll see if I can find someone on site for her.
I'd be happy to work with her if she wants to do that, but it might be really good for her.
art bell
I'm curious about something.
Doctor, how is one to discern a real healer from the frauds?
dr joyce hawkes
Yeah.
art bell
How do you do that?
Can you do it?
dr joyce hawkes
Well, you know, I'd do two things.
I would sort of check them out with the sort of feeling state, what their energy is like, and I would also inquire of people that they had helped.
I would be asking others what their experience was.
art bell
But that's really hard.
dr joyce hawkes
It is really hard.
art bell
I know.
If I was intent on being a fraudulent healer, I'd be sure to have some people lined up for testimonials.
I mean, I don't know how you would do it.
There's no national registry of healers, is there?
Or is there?
dr joyce hawkes
No, there isn't in this country.
There is in Great Britain.
art bell
But not here.
dr joyce hawkes
But not here.
It's something I've thought of for a long time and actually thought of seeing if the folks in Great Britain would help us out over here to do that because they have a training system, they have a testing system, and a code of ethics.
art bell
No kidding.
dr joyce hawkes
They do, yeah.
art bell
They have a testing system.
How roughly does that work?
Do you know?
dr joyce hawkes
I really don't know.
I've looked at that literature.
I've not been able to go over there or to actually talk with them about all the details of it.
art bell
How interesting the British would embrace it to that degree.
dr joyce hawkes
And they work in hospitals.
I mean, they're connected with their allopathic system much more so than here.
art bell
Right.
It's just our Western values.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Dr. Joyce Hawks.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
This is Adam.
I'm calling from Peoria, Illinois.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
I was wondering if you or your guests were familiar with a martial arts system called Ryuku Kempo.
art bell
Ryuku, it sounds like the Ryukyu Islands.
Does that come from Okinawa?
unidentified
I'm really not sure.
I'm not actually in the system, but a friend of mine is.
And their system is based on the body's energy and applying that to different pressure points and things of that nature.
And I heard your guest earlier say something about that when she first started healing people that she would get very ill and things like this.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And I just wanted to inform her that if she would look into this martial arts system, they have several different videotapes and things like this that will teach you how to not only build your energy and use it for, like I said, this is a martial arts system, so they use it for self-defense quite a bit.
art bell
I'd almost bet money it comes from the Ryukyu Islands.
All right.
Had you heard of that, Doctor?
dr joyce hawkes
Not that particular one, but working with Qi or with Qi is common to many of the martial arts systems, and it is, again, the flow of energy and clearing of energy through the body, which I learned a different way.
But yeah, it works.
It certainly works.
art bell
All right.
First time caller line.
You're on the air with Dr. Joyce Hawkes.
dr joyce hawkes
Hi.
unidentified
Hi.
This is Joan from Omaha, Nebraska.
art bell
Hello, Joan.
dr joyce hawkes
Yay for women.
unidentified
Right on.
International Women's Day.
Dr. Hawkes, first of all, I wanted to thank you for who you are.
I'm a little nervous, so please excuse me.
I have epilepsy, and other than the obvious negative effects of having grandma seizures, the disorder has brought some gifts of a higher consciousness, a sensitivity to things that are somewhat unseen, and an ability to help people connect with their spirits.
I don't want to lose those gifts.
But at the same time, the drugs they give me to control my grandma's seizures are really heavy.
And I know they're harming my body, especially my brain and my liver.
I'm not sure how to deal with the epilepsy and still do what I know I'm supposed to be doing.
dr joyce hawkes
Keep the gift.
unidentified
Any ideas?
dr joyce hawkes
I'm sure there is a way to do that.
I would guess the epilepsy has opened an awareness of the gift, but it isn't linked to it.
So if you can separate the two and now, you know, you sort of, I hear a gratefulness about the epilepsy that has opened this awareness.
unidentified
Well, I got really close in the last year to, well, my mom told me it wasn't time.
I got really close to losing my physical being, and it taught me a lot.
dr joyce hawkes
Sure.
unidentified
And I'm grateful for that, too.
It opened up a whole new ballgame.
dr joyce hawkes
So it was a gateway.
And a gateway is something you pass through that you don't have to keep, but what you do keep is the knowledge and the insights that you gained.
So I'm saying is that I think you can separate the two so that you won't lose the sensitivity and healing gifts that you have, regardless of what you do around the epilepsy.
art bell
How about that?
dr joyce hawkes
Does that make sense?
unidentified
Yeah, it does.
Which means I could live without the medication.
art bell
I don't think I heard that.
dr joyce hawkes
No, I wouldn't advise you not to.
unidentified
No, no, I'm not silly enough to just jump into that one.
Yeah, my dear.
art bell
Now, that is not to say there might not be some application in what the doctor does for what ails you.
unidentified
Well, that's what I was thinking.
art bell
Doctor, how about that kind of thing, epilepsy, grandma's seizures, everything that goes with it?
Is there any hope for that in what you do?
dr joyce hawkes
I have helped people with that condition, but not to the point of being completely off of medication.
We've helped ameliorate it, but not cure it.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Well, what an absolute pleasure it has been to have you on the air tonight.
Everybody can go to my website.
There's a link to the doctor's website, and you're going to get a lot of email doctors, so I guess you better get sent.
dr joyce hawkes
Thank you so much.
I have really enjoyed the evening.
art bell
Well, I will be interested to find out how you handle this kind of public exposure and the amount of response you're going to get.
Thank you, Doctor.
dr joyce hawkes
Thank you.
art bell
Good night.
That's Dr. Joyce Hawkes.
