Apparently an acupuncturist and qi gong master by the name of Tom Tam has come up with his own healing system in Boston, drawing upon his knowledge of chinese medicine and psychology.
The patient uses an acupuncture doll that is marked with acupuncture points and meridians and using a magnetic hammer or laser, they hammer (or laser) the afflicted areas of their body, on the acupuncture doll. Classes are usually filled with many people and the practitioner will go person to person, asking their malady. The whole class will then hammer their doll in the affected region.
"Tong Ren is a form of energy therapy for restoring health and vitality. Tong Ren is based on a belief that disease is related to interruptions, or blockages, in the body's natural flow of chi, neural bioelectricity, blood, or hormones. Tong Ren seeks to remove these blockages, restoring the body's natural ability to heal itself, even when illnesses are chronic, debilitating, or otherwise untreatable." http://www.tomtam.com/
I'm sure there are plenty of skeptics, but I view it healing with the mind. Never underestimate the power of the mind! There is still so much we don't know. I am always saddened to see doctors and researchers fail to associate human emotions with disease.
Tong Ren has already been in the news and it seems there have been people with terminal illnesses that have even gone into remission. I am also proud to say that Dana Farber researcher Dr. Amy Sullivan conducted a survey study of patients experiencing Tong Ren group sessions, revealing a high rate of change in their condition in response to Tong Ren.

"Results: Response rate 89% (n = 265). Cancer (30.6%), endocrine/autoimmune (17.5%) and musculoskeletal disorders (17.2%) were the most commonly reported conditions. Among respondents who had attended more than one session (n = 216), 30% used superlatives (e.g., ``amazing'') to describe TR's impact, and one-third noted improved quality of life. No adverse effects were described. Anxiety, depression, cancer, and autoimmune disorders appeared to have the greatest treatment responses, with 63.8%, 61.0%, 60.3%, and 58.1% of participants with these conditions reporting substantial improvements."
