Extraordinary claims must be supported by extraordinary evidence. Psykers have a morbid fear of laboratory conditions.

I so want to believe this, but I require empirical evidence. If people want this to be taken seriously, please please please repeat these abilities in a controlled environment for study. If any claims are real, then they are obviously measurable and a demonstration is easily enough grounds for further investigation. But unless they stop hiding away then we are going to have to accept that there is nothing to see.

I mean, if even one of these claims are true then it will revolutionise biology, physics, all of science (although the explanations I've seen in regards to what is going on, at least in the terminology used, looks like total bull to me). Though wherever I see any reference to inherent powers of crystal the alarm bells become deafening.

I'm particularly unimpressed by the use of the Greek letter psi. That is already used denoting the resultant figure from formulas involved in Genetics.
