Lynne McTaggart (born 23 January 1951, in New York City) is an American lecturer, journalist, author, and publisher. She is the author of six books, including ''The Intention Experiment'' and ''The Field''. According to her author profile, she is a spokesperson "on consciousness, the new physics, and the practices of conventional and alternative medicine."〔(Author biography at Harper Collins )〕 McTaggart is an anti-vaccinationist.〔 She promotes this belief in her book ''What Doctors Don't Tell You'' and in other publications. This has drawn significant criticism of her work and has created controversy. She is married to publisher Bryan Hubbard, has two daughters, and lives in London. ==Career== In her autobiography McTaggart reports that after recovering from an illness using alternative medical approaches her husband suggested she start a newsletter on the risks of some medical practices and devised the title: "What Doctors Don't Tell You". In 1996 McTaggart published the book with the same name. She and her husband set up a public company in 2001, ''What Doctors Don't Tell You plc'', later ''Conatus plc'', which published newsletters, magazines and audio-tapes based on conferences and seminars including, ''What Doctors Don't Tell You'', ''PROOF!'', and ''Living the Field''. This company was wound up in 2009. A new company, ''Wddty Publishing Ltd'', run by McTaggart and her husband, took over the ''What Doctors Don't Tell You'' website, and ''New Age Publishing Ltd'' for McTaggart's other publishing and public-speaking activities. Publication of their monthly magazine ''What Doctors Don't Tell You'' restarted in August 2012, in a glossy format aimed at newsagent and high-street distribution, instead of using the previous subscription model, and carrying paid advertising, something McTaggart had originally said WDDTY would not do.〔 In her book ''The Field'', McTaggart asserts that the universe is unified by an interactive field, based on apparent misunderstandings of physics.〔 The book has been translated into fourteen languages.〔 In a later book, ''The Intention Experiment'', she discusses research in the field of human consciousness which she says supports the theory that "the universe is connected by a vast quantum energy field" and can be influenced by thought. This belief is contradicted by robust evidence (e.g. studies on intercessory prayer). McTaggart has a personal-development program called "Living The Field" which is based on an idiosyncratic and incorrect interpretation of the zero point field as applied to quantum mechanics. She appears in the extended version of the movie ''What the Bleep Do We Know!?'', (2004). From 1996 until 2002 McTaggart and her husband Bryan Hubbard published the monthly newsletter ''Mother Knows Best'', later renamed ''Natural Parent magazine'', focusing on home schooling, environmental and health concerns, including nutrition and homeopathy. They also published related books: ''My Learning Child'', ''My Spiritual Child'' and ''My Healthy Child''. Significant portions of her book about Kathleen Cavendish, Marchioness of Hartington appeared without attribution〔Compare: 〕 or permission in ''The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys: An American Saga'' (1987), by historian Doris Kearns Goodwin. Goodwin eventually resolved the matter with a public apology to McTaggart and a "substantial" monetary settlement.〔 Bo Crader, ("A Historian and Her Sources," ) ''The Weekly Standard'', January 28, 2002 〕〔 Jill Lawless, ("Author Says Doris Kearns Goodwin Took 'Heart and Guts' From Her Book," ) Associated Press, March 23, 2002. 〕〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lynne McTaggart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
