Most of the claims are either the placebo effect or spontaneous healing,
both of which are probably the body doing it for itself. There have been studies about this. Most suggest that through evolution we have forgotten how to directly affect parts of our body to heal them, which used to happen subconsciously. Reading the file its really quite funny, as effectively one is using no energy, so it should not give something for nothing as that is impossible. Good fun to read it though As I say it may well be that believing something g can do yu good is important. if you go into it sceptical as we would, it probably won't do a darned thing. Not quite sure of how he gets 3 v from 9 old fashioned batteries either. :-) Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Most suggest that through evolution we have forgotten how to directly affect parts of our body to heal them, which used to happen subconsciously. Not a shred of evidence of anything like that last ever happening and it certainly isnt seen with animals etc. Reading the file its really quite funny, as effectively one is using no energy, so it should not give something for nothing as that is impossible. Good fun to read it though As I say it may well be that believing something g can do yu good is important. if you go into it sceptical as we would, it probably won't do a darned thing. There isnt a shred of rigorous scientific evidence that with something like cancer or diabetes that how you think about it or what you believe makes any difference what so ever. Not quite sure of how he gets 3 v from 9 old fashioned batteries either. :-) Puts some of them in backwards, silly.
