Good point. Could researchers take the water at
Lourdes and do some kind of double-blind? Would it be
possible?

How about doing Kirlian photography on the water,
compare it to other water? I know Kirlian might be
rather old hat stuff, but it's the only example I
have. There must be other ways to do this with other
miracle juice from other places.

Why was/is this not done?
