I've discovered someone on Gary's committee has links to another site which actively promotes cancer treatments. From that, I found another site which makes clear cancer treatment claims. Once you start following the woo chain from his committee you start to get into all sorts of sites. Mannion is firmly entrenched in a world of woo, believe me.
Yes, a pity he didn't leave an email address.I'd be interested to hear more from Mr Shaw. If he reads this could he please get in touch with me via a PM?
Farside, PLEASE change that avatar! You can have anything! A cheque for 45p. Even, (choke), impatient kitty.......sob, sob,..sob.
Put a 10 gallon hat on him with that mo, and he'll look like an 19th century snake oil salesman.![]()
Well I've impressed myself!
Might be connected somehow with whatever quantum thingy is making them disappear from their original location ... hang on, wasn't it transporter beam? or was that Star Trek?![]()

December 5th 2007
I am Megan Ford from Wiltshire aged 63.
I had BPPV - Benign, Paroxysmal, Positional, Vertigo, caused by a head injury, sustained in a road accident in 1962, when I was 18 years old. The impact displaced the otoconia, which are crystals of calcium carbonate, sometimes called ear rocks, in my left ear, thus allowing them to move around in the semi-circular canal in the ear.
The effects of BPPV started in the 1970's, in my mid thirties. The symptoms are, dizziness, disorientation and nausea and it feels like being drunk or seasick. I was having 10 to 12 dizzy episodes a day, most lasting only seconds, but often the symptoms lasted for several days and twice, in 1980 and 1990 they lasted for months. All I could do when I had an "attack" was to lie in bed, propped up and keep still.
This is what I know about BPPV:
I am writing this for all those BPPV sufferers..........
Firstly what the lady is saying above in her letter of her condition is correct. She does have or had the symptoms of BPPV. Although benign paroxysmal positional vertigo can be a bothersome problem, it's rarely serious. You can receive effective treatment for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo during a doctor's office visit. Vertigo usually results from a problem with the nerves and the structures of the balance mechanism in your inner ear that sense movement and changes in the position of your head. BPPV most often is a result of aging. It also can occur after a blow to your head. Less common causes of BPPV include a virus affecting your ear, combination of trauma to your ear during ear surgery and prolonged positioning on your back (supine) during the procedure. At times Doctors are unable to determine the cause of BPPV. Apart from aging, there are no significant factors that may increase your risk of BPPV. However, a prior head injury or an infection of the balance organs of your ear (labyrinthitis) may make you slightly more susceptible to BPPV.
If you have the experience the following symptoms immediately seek professional advice:
Different or severe headache
Double or loss of vision
Loss of hearing
Speech impairment
Weakness in your arms and legs
Loss of consciousness
Falling or difficulty walking
Numbness or tingling
Chest pain, or rapid or slow heart rate These signs and symptoms may signal a more serious problem, such as stroke, brain tumor, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis or diseases of your heart or blood vessels (cardiovascular disease).
To help relieve BPPV, your doctor may treat you with a series of movements known as the canalith repositioning procedure.
Performed in your doctor's office, the canalith repositioning procedure consists of several simple maneuvers for positioning your head. The goal is to move particles from the fluid-filled semicircular canals of your inner ear (vestibular labyrinth) into a tiny bag-like structure (utricle) where these particles don't cause trouble. Each position is held for about 30 seconds. The success rate for this procedure is as high as 90 percent to 95 percent.
After the procedure, you must avoid lying flat for 24 to 48 hours and elevate your head on a few pillows when you sleep. This allows time for the particles floating in your labyrinth to settle into your utricle or be reabsorbed by the fluids in your body. You may need to wear a neck collar to prevent tilting your head. It may be necessary to repeat the procedure several times. Your doctor also may show you some therapeutic exercises that you can perform at home or:
If the canalith repositioning procedure isn't effective, your doctor may recommend a surgical procedure in which a bone plug is used to block the portion of your inner ear that is causing dizziness. The plug prevents the floating particles in your ear canal from moving. This success rate for canal plugging surgery is about 90 percent. Less than 5 percent of people who undergo this procedure experience long-term hearing loss.
Lastly this is important:
If you experience dizziness associated with BPPV, consider these tips:
Be aware of the possibility of losing your balance, which can lead to falling and serious injury.
Sit or lie down immediately when you feel dizzy.
Avoid sleeping on the side of your affected ear.
When getting out of bed, do so slowly. Sit on the edge of the bed for a minute.
Avoid bending down to pick something up. Don't extend your head back, such as when getting something from an upper cabinet.
Be careful when getting up from lying back at the dentist's office, beauty parlor or barbershop, or during activities, such as yoga or massage.
Use two or more pillows at night to avoid lying completely flat.
Use good lighting if you get up in the night.
Walk with a cane for stability.
Work closely with your doctor to manage your symptoms effectively.
Based on the information given in your letter, you should have a full file at your local doctor who has treated you over these years, therefore he should be able to write you a letter stating clearly how you have suffered all these years with this condition. At the same time, after doing some tests he will know if you had a sudden miracle cure. He will then be convinced you are totally cured of BPPV and would happily write sign and date on his practice letter head that you are 100% cured by an amazing non surgical, surgical act! ??? Your name will have a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the first non-incision surgery patient!
I rest my case!![]()
Good point, IFAPIFAP (or may I call you IFA for short?)
And why are so many testimonials on Gary's sites not written by the satisfied patients themselves?
The "Gary Mannion is joining us" thread over on spiritlove has been locked. I wonder why....?
No mention of Gary here, I'm afraid. But nice to see Charlie, Colin, Sally, Sylvia, Tony, Tracy.......

Jeez what a list of frauds.
A quote taken randomly from the list, (Purplemoon Jo - full marks for a stupid name)
If this ability is unique, what do the others in the list think of that?I am honoured to be able to bring messages of comfort to people devastated by grief from their loved ones who have passed over. I have a unique ability to look deeply into a persons life, to give guidance, insight into problems and some direction to those who are a little lost. Sometimes this can have a very deep healing effect.
