Hello Suma! Just to let you know, I got "normal" results back from the recent illness and then had a bout of sore throat, heavy congestion, and now coughing and emptying the lungs of the previous congestion going on...only thing that seemed to help significantly was Beconase AQ for reducing the congestion....all the best! tuna

Yeah? Read Edell's book that has his experiences in the Phillipines with such "healers" and how they did their tricks.

Testimonials? You ever hear of the placebo effect? It does exist.

I hope you never get a serious illness and don't fall back on suck quacks.

I seem to remember an expose on such healers. It was a long time ago; it might even have been 60 minutes- but they found the person was using animal parts in what was basically a magic trick- not that that won't help a certain number of people, as will prayer- the body can, occasionally, heal itself, but me, I wouldn't want to place all my chips on that space on the roulette wheel.
