Yes, please provide at least the name of the paper and author of the article. If it was published in a respectable journal, I can download it on my own.
The other experiments you mentioned in your previous post in defence of IM, I found to be pseudoscience, or probably explainable due to psychology. The most convincing seemed to be the Emoto's water experiment, but the main scientific complaint against him seems to be that he gave his photographers leeway in choosing whatever pictures seemed best representative, hence BIAS. (see Wikipedia for this information on this guy, he even denies that he is a scientist, a sceptic has offered 1 MILLION DOLLARS to anyone who can replicate Emoto's "experiment" in a more scientific experimental design).
That said, I very much doubt there will EVER be ANY scientific proof for a concept like IM, it requires a LEAP OF
FAITH (see Kierkegaard's existentialist philosophy of religion).
