healers

We've all heard of this guy, right? The guy who does magic tricks to deceive people into thinking he's healing them? Well... one of the guys anyway. Turns out he has a nasty habit of sexually abusing people as well. Miracle healer accused of sex abuse by 300+ women hands himself in

This woman was operating as a "shaman" and healer in Hampstead, North London for over 10 years. It's quite a wealthy area and she managed to scam over £1 million (1.7m US) from people by pretending to be able to fix their job/relationship/whatever. She completely ruined the lives of several...

Helen parry Jones,alleged spiritual healer has just said on Womens Hour BBC radio 4, that she is wiling to be tested. Can Randi offer the challenge to her? Poor audio on this video...but an example of her work(if you can call it work) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R78Z1DXT06U

I had to post this. A friend sent me this YouTube vid the other day, and it was just so ridiculous I practically **** myself. There's this guy named "Braco" who tours the world healing people with his "gaze." That's right, his "gaze." :eye-poppi And hundreds of thousands of people fall for this...

Source So she claims to cure leukemia. What's the boy's name? Seems like an easy way to win Randi's million.

Looking for some debunking of this guy: John Chang, a Chi healer in Indonesia. Apparently one of his disciples, Kosta Danaos, published a book, called "The Magus of Java: Teachings of an Authentic Taoist Immortal". What I found interesting was a video of this individual lighting up a LED...

This week's edition of "so disgusting you couldn't make it up" comes courtesy of a certain "John of God", who bills himself as a spiritual healer with the ability to cure aids and cancer. I first got alerted to this abusive scum by receiving a spam e-mail from him. I have reproduced the e-mail...

Hi all, I was curious if thre were any previous insights into the healing work of Alan Ames (alanames dot org). I searched the randi web site but was not able to find anything. He has the backing of the catholic church as well (well to some degree). He is currently touring the US...

BBC2 10pm, Monday 7th January 2007. First of a new series examining the work of unorthodox healers, beginning with “Shaman” Peter Aziz who has claimed he can cure people with Cancer and AIDS.;) Has anyone heard of this guy before?

An interesting article here: http://www.johannhari.com/archive/article.php?id=932 Although covers a lot of the usual stuff, it's still depressing to know this still goes on

I switched on my TV the other day, and the TiVo, for some unexplained reason, had switched the channel to TBN. Benny Hinn was interviewing a very elderly looking Oral Roberts, and they were talking about their experiences in the faith healing business. Benny said that Oral was his mentor, and...

Oh my what a load of claptrap. I'm getting a headache, and it's not just from repeatedly banging my head against the wall when ever Gary Schwarz (sp?) opens his mouth and lets the tripe flow out. But I will be brave and suffer through this ordeal. I mean I knew the 'documentary' would be like...

one hour long and not one skeptic presented. They did have a couple of PhDs say how quantum physics might explain his healing powers.:rolleyes: Also a couple of western doctors who said they knew people who were healed. But again no skeptic or opposing views. And no evidence that wasn't...

This article was just published in the New England Journal of Medicine: http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/353/14/1437 I thought I'd post here, a place I usually never visit, and see what happens.

Underground Britain. Re-posted due to the great server loss of 2005!! BBC2 programme about Robyn Welch who claimed she could cure cancer and other ailments just with a telephone call! A good skeptical documentary for a change. Here's some links: http://robynwelch.com/kiddy.php (Check out...

Ho, hum, here we go again. My first guess is, charlatan. On second thought...still charlatan. Has John of God won the million dollar prize? No? Charlatan. Haven't we seen this kind of {expletive deleted by nasty forum software censor} before...

I'm having a very hard time finding cases of aggravated injuries and deaths that were caused by tent revivals and faith healers. Does anyone have a database or URL of these events?

Do we need religious excitement (via faith healing ministries such as Benny Hinn) in order to draw people closer to God?

DeviantART is a site for artists and writers to post their works online. I had some respect for the value of their forums too until I came across this thread: http://forum.deviantart.com/community/life/207365/ My response is under "~addboy". I know I'm going to get flamed to a crisp for it...
