AGI's Research Findings have been updated

Be sure to check out our updated "Research Findings" section which includes status summaries and references to published studies concerning the effects of imagery, visualization and related mind/body techniques on 38 medical and psychological conditions and situations.

These summaries are an excellent resource to give to hospital credentials committees when applying for privileges to use imagery, and to insurance companies and 3rd party payers when you submit bills for your imagery services.
