I lived in Florida, I know Florida and Florida IS a 'DUH'!

Facts: Barbers at the U of F wouldn't cut students hair who had dark
skin 'because we don't know how to cut curly hair'. They even applied
this justification to students from India!!! When I arrived there,
many local eateries had 'Whites Only!' signs, a few had 'Blacks go

Thanks for the heads up. Offering extraneous or redundant material
was not my intention. I realized, after the fact, that my message
might read as spam. And spam it could have been except I had nothing
to gain by my post.

A person appropriately affronted. Good job.

I think the trick is to look at the conceptual basis of "healing".
"Healing", at its foundation, confuses metaphysical experience with
physical experience - science with art.

Metaphysical experience is genuine and those who believe that
objectivity is the only experience are wrong. But equally those that

I was also going to first ask what is the determinant factor in the
success of the distance healing.

I brought up dysfunctional healers in regard to the Yount experiments
in an attempt to demonstrate the possibility that the failure to heal
does not negate the healing potential but in fact only questions the

Quack - noun: an untrained person who pretends to be a physician and
who dispenses medical advice.

charlatan - noun: a flamboyant deceiver; one who attracts customers
with tricks or jokes

Perhaps we can deal with only the first category.

Oh, I can talk about experience ... about the 'new age' young MD who I
idealistically went to for help back in the early 70s. During the
checkup, he for some unknown reason thought I needed a spinal
adjustment. I'd never had one. I've been in constant pain ever since
and daily, numerous times do my best to readjust my own spine to

I had a saying for my employees: "Don't tell me what you can't do,
tell me what you can do." Discussions of what is wrong, what can't be
done, who is doing it wrong, what you don't like are uninspiring. The
question is, "what do you know about healing," let's keep the angle
positive and discuss possibility and experience. Not easy for the

Uhhh, Florida? You think? The truth is that the dirty tricks have
never stopped. They are just getting more sophisticated. And, now have
spread to the entire country as well as territories. I have looked
into local groups who are active in monitoring all aspects of voting
and I hope others have been doing the same thing.

To me, discussing personal experiences and ideas about how to spot a
charlatan, perhaps including one's own view of what 'charlatan' means
seems to fit exactly into "What Do You Know About Healing?" as well as
being a clear response to those who are skeptical.

Blind skepticism doesn't cut it. However, to make a direct inquiry

I'm a bit concerned about another snafu in Florida. There is no
telling how far the Republicans will go to secure the votes.

spotting a "charlatan" is off topic, I think. Dysfunctional
healers...we are all dysfunctional in some respects, and what some
consider "healers" others don't. To consider that maladies are born
of spiritual necessity specific to the individual would require belief
in that, one that I don't think many in this group hold.
