The question my friend is not whether anyone here was gullible or desperate enough to try "phone healing" or any type of phony healing. The question is how can people like your osteopath or ayurvedic scamsters sleep at night? I am sure if you go onto one of the nutso unmoderated internet boards you can find some poor deluded fool who has mustered a minimal placebo effect with such fraud. I meditate, have done Reiki, projected Chi etc so I am open minded also. Just not simple minded
My closest childhood friend is not only an Osteopath doctor but went on to be a fully certified Psychiatrist and he is a strong advocate of my getting the radiation, chemo and surgery because he is honest and forthright about the cold hard fact that currently none of the Eastern nor non-MD modalities work at all against cancer. Likewise my chiropractor does not offer false hope to his cancer patients.
Another dear friend runs an Alternative Health clinic with the full panoply of healing arts and herbs, and while he does push some nutrients on me, they are only as supplements and he respects my decision to decline them.
There is a problem on the soul level, but it is with the souls of those who prey upon us when we are most desperate for a miracle and therefore most vulnerable to sympathetic fake healers. there should be a special place in hell for people like the ones abusing you.
