Healing

[Guest guest]

I have felt similarly a long time. You close by saying it's ignorant

to ignore information, which I feel is a terrible problem.

First off, there does not have to be any energy at all for a faith

healer to stimulate another's self-healing processes. That is because

the social and physical interaction might affect the latter's

hormones, thereby affecting his or her immune system and general

health. (That is one of the reasons I do not like these people being

interfered with. Besides their rights, there is no rational basis for

ruling out that their methods work.)

Jim Humble says in one of his video interviews that Reiki works by

directing the brain's attention to a problem, and that the brain

handles every aspect of that activity, which I do not agree with. He

says he's a certified Reiki Master. I have never seen Reiki, lost

interest in it when I heard some offer it over the telephone and will

die without knowing if it works or not. But in the video you can see

Humble helping this young kid feel better, a nice thing for Humble to

do, on top of trekking out to Africa to cure malaria if he can. What

if Reiki is all bull pucky but the technique gives you a nice way with

people, or there is a certain, stimulating touch to it? Acupuncture

has panned out quite nicely here in the West, as has hypnotism.

Thirdly, the Chinese have used the energy paradigm in treating people

for ages and their medical treatments have worked for that long.

Their beliefs come from long observation and I find certain of their

philosophical statements based on the energy principle to be true.

For example, one is that if your energy is blocked, you're not able to

do what you'd like to or must do - because you are simply in a state

of being unable. Sounds simplistic, but it's true. And they do have

a cure for it - Chi Kung, which I tried many years ago and think is

good for you.

Well, that's my two cents about why I think has a good point.

Glad your back is better, too.

My best regards,

Theron

Hi everyone new to this group.I had my hip replacement here in Spain,where we

now live Excellent hospital individual rooms No general anaesthetic but no

pain.Some very interesting noises though.

I have had one small problem Itching and swelling around the scar culminating in

a vile itchy rash all over.

The local clinic reckoned that my immune system was overactive and trying to

heal an already healed scar.They prescribed antibiotics antihistamines and

Steroids.

Has anyone else had this experience or am I unique?

Great to join the group and read all your posts
