"In 1999, Emily Rosa published her paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association. It was titled "A Close Look at Therapeutic Touch." Unlike Mehmet Oz, Rosa wasn't a cardiovascular surgeon. In fact, she had never graduated from medical school. Or college. Or high school. Or elementary school. When it came time to write her paper, she had asked her mother, a nurse, to help. That's because Emily was only nine years old. Her experiment was part of a fourth-grade science fair project in Fort Collins, Colorado. Emily didn't win the science fair. "It wasn't a big deal in my classroom," recalled Rosa, who graduated from the University of Colorado at Denver in 2009. "I showed it to a few of my teachers, but they really didn't care, which kind of hurt my feelings." Emily's mother, Linda, recalled that "some of the teachers were getting therapeutic touch during the noon hour. They didn't recommend it for the district science fair. It just wasn't well received at the school."
