Art Bell speaks with researcher Stephan Schwartz about the hidden properties of water and how human intention can alter its molecular structure. Broadcasting from Manila on his third consecutive weekend show, Art opens with world news, a story about a Russian girl named Natasha who can see inside human bodies, and open lines featuring ghost stories and debates over why ghosts wear clothes.

Schwartz, a former special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations and a leading expert on remote viewing, describes an experiment in which healers held sealed vials of water during therapeutic sessions. Using infrared spectrophotometry, his team found that the hydrogen bonding in treated water changed in a consistent, predictable way compared to controls. He reveals that water from historically healing springs at Lourdes and Glastonbury showed the same molecular changes naturally, suggesting a link between consciousness and the physical properties of water.

The discussion expands into how these findings may explain the placebo effect and why water has been central to religious ceremony for thousands of years. Schwartz argues that all consciousness is interlinked and that healing may work not through energy transfer but through a shared non-local connection that stimulates the body's own immune response.
