Particularly with energy healing, prayer or magick, have any of you ever seen in yourself or others real results- person comes back from the brink, or returns to considerably better health? Or chronic conditions hardly there at all?
Dramatic results, not just 'felt a bit better.'
I'd love to hear about your alternative therapy 'results'.

Erm.... No.
My mother has used several concoctions to relieve her arthritis of the knee. It's basically the regressive fallacy though. She's rubs Emu oil etc. into her knee when the pain is at its worst and then it gets better a day or two later.
In fact, she doesn't seem to do it any more - since I explained the regressive fallacy!
.
My mother swears that one condition from which she suffered got better after taking a homeopathic remedy - apparently someone at the hospital had told her it would "never get better".
Now I stop to think of it, I have never got round to explaining to her properly why this is not so. On my to do list ...
Yes.
Care to elaborate?Originally Posted by Physiotherapist
All different kinds of massage therapy, sports massage and deep tissue and osteopathy.
Yes my chiropractor works for me! if I go when my back is hurting and out of place (usually misaglined pelvis - and I know it is cos I can feel it 'go') it works, it's not in my mind!
That could just as well be explained by the regressive fallacy that John posted a link to.
I don’t think there’s much doubt that manipulative therapies are appropriate in cases where things need manipulating!
I think Kath was asking more about spiritual/energy healing – i.e. things that have no, real, appropriate use.
What about psionic healing (reiki, TT, quantum touch, etc.)? Or some of the ludicrous claims made for acupuncture or homeopathy?
Side story…
My wife has been off work after straining her back quite badly on Wednesday. I gave her some Reiki healing (in my own inimitable style) yesterday and she’s a lot better today.
How did I do that?

OMG you must be a very gifted healer :o It can be a 'nice little earner'My wife has been off work after straining her back quite badly on Wednesday. I gave her some Reiki healing (in my own inimitable style) yesterday and she’s a lot better today.
How did I do that?you know, as a reiki master actually once said to me
She's still in pain although a little better again today.
This Reiki takes a while to do its job. Perhaps I need 'attuning'.

No, it's just her body "expelling toxins". It has to get worse before it gets better.She's still in pain although a little better again today.

Surely that's only for homeopathic Reiki?
There are numerous sites etc where you can become a reiki master for free :) If you can't beat em, join em lol :D

Talking about 'expelling toxins'; who needs colonic irrigation when there's guinness?No, it's just her body "expelling toxins". It has to get worse before it gets better.
