Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Personally I think that the reason these subjects are no go areas are for exactly the reason you have stated below about distance healing, touch healing, coral calcium and muscle testing being foo foo - this is your opinion only and could be exactly what some are using to help them through extremely trying times. To ensure that no heated arguments detract from the true purpose of this group, some subjects just have to be taboo. Because you do not believe or have not experienced something does not make it any less a natural health system that can be relied upon. We all have to find our own system to believe in and our faith will also play a part in that. Just my humble opinion of why some subjects cannot be discussed here.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 The name of this web group is Alternative medicine forum. If " Bowel parasite killers. Liver cleanses. Gallbladder cleanses. Hulda Clark and Colloidal silver " aren't pertinent aspects of " Alternative Medicine " what is? I agree about things like: Distance healing, Touch healing, Coral calcium and Muscle testing and regard a lot of them as foo foo medicine but at the same time every thing changes it seems. much of what I considered hard cold facts a year ago I now refute and there's a very thin line between foo foo and " proven natural health systems " , especially in medical systems. I agree that I do not want a bunch of garbage on the site but I wouldn't want to stifle free thought either and not allow controversial issues. Isn't that what this site is all about? Issues that mainstream science finds controversial?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Yes and I said distance healing was foo foo with out thinking, look at Edgar Cayce. I just think it will be hard to determin what is approprate and what's not. Everyone's opinion will differ slightly and who is to say what's right? The more I learn the more rapidly my beliefs change.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Dave, Thanks for being a good straight man! It is a matter of the Forest or the Trees! You are in the Trees. Makes it kind of hard to see the Forest, Eh. You mention several subjects (trees), that's fine, they each have their own group, I know I belong to some of them, and You also may join those groups.
