healer

I did a search on Dean Kraft here, but came up empty. I just caught the tail end of a movie on TV about him. I then went to his website where I found this: While I am quite skeptical, I am very curious - does anybody have any info, links, etc. that debunks him specifically? His site lists all...

An English newspaper, the Wiltshire Times, has published a totally uncritical article (otherwise known as a "free advert") for one Nina Knowland, a self-proclaimed spiritual healer, who is looking for children with cystic fibrosis to "benefit" from her skills. It's obvious from her website -...

This one is young and has a tattoo: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=2669788&page=1 I was watching GMA this morning and this story was on. Nothing new, just wondered why they chose this guy but then they said he was only 19 and had a tattoo. Well then, I guess it's newsworthy if he's got...

One of those "independent" political ads last night; traumatized young lady who's parents were killed on 9/11 goes to a Dubya political rally ("as her mother had before her"). George sees the distressed youngster and gives her a big hug, bringing the poor girl out of her funk. Next, the...
