Adrenaline rush physiologically explains small incremental improvements in vision, pain, and strength — making it irresponsible to publish a healing video based on these responses.

Fake Healing Videos Evaluated: Todd White, Tom Fischer and more 00:37:00 – 00:38:00

Physiological explanation for the apparent improvements seen in the eye-healing video.

Mike lists the physical effects of an adrenaline rush: (1) eyes dilate, improving vision; (2) decreased pain sensitivity; (3) increased strength; (4) increased visual and auditory acuity. He argues a small incremental improvement in vision experienced during a high-emotion healing encounter is consistent with adrenaline and does not constitute evidence of supernatural healing. He argues responsible practice would be to get the person's contact information, follow up a week later, and verify the change before publishing it to potentially 600,000 viewers.
