I don't even know where to begin with this one, download your own "personalised" mp3 that can cure anything from Acne to Malaria.

just read the testimonials:
"I listened to the herpes download 4 times a year ago when I had an outbreak of cold sores. I haven't experienced an outbreak since then, which I would have expected by now. Also one of my clients hasn't experienced an outbreak of genital herpes in over a year, after listening to the herpes download."

*that* is the sound of my mind boggling.

I'm at work, so I have to be careful which links I click on, but am I right in assuming that payment is required for these aural cures?

Hell's Teeth.

Seems to be in part targetted at Africa - there are several free downloads to cure all manor of illness just for Africa. Which in itself is particularly unpleasent.

Naive believer or totally exploitative scammer? I'm leaning towards the latter.

I went through the "personalised download" process to be presented with a "Accept the disclaimer (http://www.healingdownloads.com/disclaimer.php) before downloading" - and lo! The page returns a 404.

1 download (a credit) is £7.

Also, to register on the site as a homeopath, you have to agree to

I agree and promise upon the souls of my ancestors or by the God I worship to use these remedies ONLY in the form they are supplied, not to duplicate in any way, and to use exactly according to the instructions provided.
