Christopher Hansard - Tibetan Bon Medicine

[Physiotherapist]

I posted something over at JREF sometime ago now regarding this guy.

He is from NZ originally and claims to be a Tibetan Bon Dur physician. He is the author of many books and has practiced from the Eden Medical Centre in London since 1990, when he came over here to set up in practice.

He had quite a few websites, which have not been dismantled and I was wondering what had happened to him. I have subsequently found that Eden Medical Centre has gone bust and some journalists/media are out to get him and uncover him as a fraud and a liar who has been preying on the sick and helpless for years.

I suppose this has to be a result if one more fraud is off the streets.

There is an elucidating discussion on Christopher Hansard at:

You may need to be patient as the Rick Ross website is often unavailable.

Another very interesting challenge to Christopher Hansard's fraud is at:

Hooray for Google Alerts! Mine directed me to this forum. I initiated the debate on Rick Ross and was astonished when it attracted so much attention. It now runs to 14 pages -- and yes it is sometimes difficult to access www.rickross.com I strongly urge participants here to check out the Christopher Hansard thread on Rick Ross. To replicate it here would take hours, and be very long winded. In essence, there is overwhemling evidence to support the view that CH is a charlatan who has cynically exploited his superficial knowledge of the Tibetan Bon tradition. There is also evidence of sexual, psychological and emotional abuse, alongside a breathtaking panorama of lies and deception. In fairness, I should point out that many posters defend CH. There is also a suspicion that the man himself contributed to the thread in at least one instance.

I had relationship with Christopher Hansard in 1985 for 3 years.
CH is a liar and a manipulator! I can tell you stories about CH!
At the moment CH has a web site asking people to sign a petition, to save him What a joke!

Naina,

Would you consider posting information regarding Chris on the Rick Ross website?

So far, I am the only person who knew Chris in New Zealand to post any information on the Rick Ross message board. If more that one person states that he never mentioned an ‘Urgen Nam Chuk’ or ‘dur bon’, for example, I feel it will help convince people that his claims regarding his background and training are a complete fabrication.

Naina,
Please will you post an item on the Christopher Hansard thread at www.rickross.com ? I would like to communicate with you privately. If you are on rickross I can send you a private message. Best wishes Pema

I have been poking around this site for sometime but have only just decide to join and post.


I decided to start posting after I saw a reference to Jeff Bowe, my how times change. When I first came across Mr Bowe he was in the land of the fairies writing articles and a really serious flying saucer nut. He was a firm supporter of 'aliens ate my dog' and 'George Bush is really a fish' category of journalism. So it came as some surprise to find that he had read reinvented himself as the defender of all things true and Tibetan.

I had never heard of this Christopher Hansard chap before and reading the Rick Ross postings about him he is either viewed as a saint or Satan or something in between. Most definitely the guy is a creepy character who needs large amounts of therapy and in all probability locking up.

I viewed Rick Ross from a different viewpoint to the other people I suppose, as I am not immediately involved but what did strike me was the arguments used by Jeff Bowe. The arguments used by both sides have holes so big in them that you could drive a truck through them. At one point Mr Flying Saucer directs all the readers to look at conclusive evidence that Hansard is a charlatan by comparing two piles of wood, yes I kid you not, two piles of wood turned into pyramids for a bonfire. Key point being that as Hansard is building a pyramid of wood for a bonfire it is obviously the copy of something from an earlier book. This in his mind conclusively proves that Hansard is a charlatan. I don't know if Mr Bowe noticed that the earlier construction was built so that it had the Indian peace symbol constructed into the pile i.e. the swastika. Hansards had no such embellishment or sophistication, in fact it looked exactly like a pyramid of wood that any child would make in their back garden given a saw and a few logs. I have made similar things while sitting in a bar using cocktail sticks (hey I am Guru send me money now!).

Hansards claim is that his medical system is earlier than the present Tibetan system and produces a scholar of Tibetan origin to prove this. Bowe claims that this is not true and produces a scholar to prove this. Hansards supporters appeared to be some dodgy people who Bowe cannot locate, which is not surprising as Bowe vilifies and humiliates anyone who has had anything to do with Hansard. This includes the victims of supposed malpractice, I use the term supposed because in English law we are innocent until proven guilty, it is not surprising that people will not come forward when Jeff Bowe immediately places their names on his blogspot.

My entire take on this thing is that I would like to lock up Christopher Hansard and Jeff bowe in a room for eternity and put it on live WebCam I am sure it would make great if not interesting violent and viewing.

So in the end who are we to believe is it
' aliens ate my dog and used his DNA to create George Bush'
or
'I am the reincarnation of the great pizza delivery being'

I think they deserve they each other. To my mind Mr Bowe's motives are not entirely honest. On the other hand neither do Hansards motives appear to be honest either. The arguments boil down to...we have the man who reinvented himself from being a flying saucer freak into the guardian of all things Tibetan , arguing with a man who invented himself as a Tibetan physician.

Anyone else who doesn’t know Christopher Hansard might like to start here:

I would recommend Hansard’s own websites but for some reason he seems to be removing more and more pages from them.

You can check out Jeffrey and judge for yourself here:

I did google Jeffrey but couldn’t find anything weird. How weird.

HAve you checked the Wayback machine and Google archives?

The question of why Jeffrey Bowe cares so much as to create a whole blog, complete with graphics, devoted to raking Hansard over the coals remains a mystery and sets off red flags for me.

The other question, which still remains unanswered apparently, is this: if Hansard didn't learn from some mysterious Tibetan down under where did he learn what he teaches, writes about and utilized in his practice. The only answer given on the RR forum is that he could pick up that stuff anywhere.

Where's anywhere?

Do you think he could of made a lot of it up so as to make money off people who are ready to believe anything?
Is that a possibility?

Surely you are not that unobjective that you cannot formulate the opinion he quite possibly "made it up as he went along"? You appear to be implying that this person absolutely must have knowlege beyond the ken of mortal man for him to do the things he does.
