I administer the mail server at work, so I get to peruse the spam pit occasionally, make sure there are no babies in the bathwater. Here's a gem, similar to the "John of God" thread, almost as pathetic. It seems the amount of this crud going around in email is rising.

N-C is selling Gregg Braden, a "renowned scientist and scholar", who, according to his website, will host the Southwest Dowsing Conference in Flagstaff this October. Yep, renowned scientist. Anyways, here is a list of some of the things you can buy with his new mode of prayer hooha, for only $79.95:

* Stop War
* Quantum Leap in space/time
* Change DNA with Emotion
* Communicate via DNA
* Relax your DNA
* Read the Dead Sea Scrolls
* Make it Rain
* Access all 10(!!) dimensions
* Melt Tumors
* Cure Cancer

Just to name a few. Reading the whole thing is both funny and gross, but I didn't want to post it all here -- nice clean forum, why dirty it up. Is there a way I can post it here, in jpg or PDF, in case anyone wants to read it or line their birdcage?

I was under the impression Nightingale-Conant used to be a motivational-speak kind of thing.. but their website lists Hagzilla, um, I mean, Sylvia, as one of the "featured" authors.

This email dreck was signed by Vic Conant, Chairman of N-C, so I guess they went the way of the dodo.
 
But what happens if you relax the DNA in your melting tumors?
 
This is rich!

"Your DNA in a bunch? Relax, unwind with Dr. Braden's DNA relaxation method!"

OK, I can see charging people for things that give them a personal benefit--like the ability to access all 10 dimensions or read the Dead Sea Scrolls (funny--that one's an ordinary claim, but I somehow doubt he's offering lessons in ancient languages).

But this guy has the ability to stop war and cure cancers but he wants YOU to pay him to do it???
 
I kid you not --here is a quote from the email:

People have used this nondenominational, nonreligious mode of prayer to melt away a tumor in two minutes and 40 seconds without drugs or surgery, end a three-year drought in a day, and avert a war that appeared to be inevitable.

You're about to go on a journey where science and miracles are merged into a new wisdom—and lead to a startling conclusion. Principles recognized only recently by quantum physics prove that instructions left to us in a 2,500-year-old scroll can bring healing to our bodies and peace to the nations of our modern world!

People *buy* this stuff...
 
I just sent this email, via their web-page contact form... we'll see if a response is forthcoming...

I have received an email from you in which the following claim is made: "People have used this nondenominational, nonreligious mode of prayer to melt away a tumor in two minutes and 40 seconds without drugs or surgery..." As we both know it is illegal to transmit known fraudulent material, I would like to request your documentation to substantiate that claim, from valid, peer-reviewed sources. You must have them, or you would not have made this claim. If you have not documented this ability, you could both do that and earn $1,000,000 by completing the Challenge at http://www.randi.org/research/challenge.html.

Their contact page did not allow formatting of the text...
 
Isn't there some government agency we can send these e-mails to so the guilty parties can be prosecuted?

Hey now, all this stuff is valid and scientific:

Gee, now why didn't I think of that? All I have to do, basically, is (re)start smoking, get cancer, catch on fire, and die! Oh, and pass a lot more math classes...

I'd do all that before I sent that yoyo a nickel, though...

Hey, you're in the Arid Zone... Flagstaff is up I-10 to I-17 to I-40, right? You want to go see the leaves this fall, maybe laugh at a Dowsing convention? Bring banannas...

Relaxing the double helix is a good thing?
Making your DNA a pair of parallel straight lines is good. I recommend it for all woo-woos...

If your DNA is coiled too tight it can cause stress. You don't want aches and pains in your cells, do you?

However, parallel DNA strands won't stand up properly. Suddenly your DNA is all over the place. Ever try to pick DNA out of a carpet? Not fun, even for forensic specialists!
