The only requirement for successful visualization is the development of our imagination.
In a study reported in 1984, Dr. Nicholas Hall of the George Washington Medical Center in Washington, DC, found that visualization to increase the number of circulating white blood cells and also timosin alpha 1 that is useful to increase the number of white blood cells called T helper cells.
