His website is at:
http://www.dosseydossey.com/larry/default.asp
and there's a big pic of him, but no research stats or results of any kind
that I could see.
He certainly hasn't continued his research
http://www.healthy.net/library/interviews/redwood/dossey.htm
"Dossey has retired from active medical practice, and devotes his time to
writing and lecturing.
He is the editor of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, a journal
which debuted in
1995. He lives in New Mexico."
ah! he never did do any research, he only read about research. This is a
review of his book on prayer healing:
