As long as this claim is not that of a dumb, crazy person and is being said by a researcher who has a lot of knowledge and training, then we should keep an open mind to it rather than jumping to conclusions through shortcut methods. Sure, drinking poison would be lethal for you. But we should keep an open mind to any addressed objections and research these trained, educated researchers would present. If these are researchers claiming that the power of god can somehow do this and that there is a way to harness god's power within you to accomplish this, then we should remain open minded to it. Perhaps people who have attempted this and failed just weren't doing it right as these researchers would claim. Or, maybe there were some other factors preventing this from working as these researchers would claim. Sure, there are researchers who believe dumb, crazy things. But the very fact that they are trained, educated researchers is enough to warrant an open minded, full research into their claims.
