Part of our problem, David, is that you seem to believe everything you hear about this stuff. Then you talk to me as if the entire issue would be cleared up if I just weren't so closed-minded.

Possibly I am far more skeptical than I come across. However, you and others judge all these phenomena by asking whether they fit with orthodox science. What I feel is that that test is now applied so readily to rule out 'awkward' information that the facts are getting seriously distorted. The orthodox theory of consciousness and reality (T) fits because T is used as a filter on the parts of reality that are deemed worthy of consideration scientifically.
If, for example, these patients had reported picking up mental state - optimistic, depressive, etc. - I am sure someone would have done a serious study of the phenomenon because it would be deemed safely orthodox because it could be associated with a hormone of some kind.
