StopSylviaBrowne: Dr. Dean Edell

[RSLancastr]

Back in January, when I was still at TAM5 and there was so much media attention being paid to Browne's part in the Shawn Hornbeck case, I was told that the SSB site was mentioned by Dr. Dean Edell in his syndicated radio show.

For those not familiar with Dr. Dean, he is definitely a friend to skeptics, and through his medical advice show (and books), is extremely active in criticizing all sorts of medical quackery.

I had not gotten a chance to listen to the episode where he mentioned my site - until today. It was rebroadcast at station KGO in San Francisco, and I found out via an email. Luckily, it was available in their audio archives, and will be until tomorrow (they keep the previous 24 hours' worth of streaming audio available).

So, until then, if you want to hear it, you can go to this archives page (http://www.kgoam810.com/Article.asp?PT=Archive&id=49920) and download the 1pm-2pm hour.

At about 5:55 into the hour, he talks about Browne in regards to the Hornbeck case, mentions some of her other gaffes, and plugs the SSB site.

Then, at about 35:24, he takes a call from Greg.

Greg says that his late wife went to Sylvia Browne when they were having marital difficulties, and the wife was not well. Browne told her that her husband was poisoning her. Later, his wife died of cancer.

Dr. Dean again plugs the site, and suggests that Greg contact me. I don't believe that he ever did.

I wonder if Sylvia meant literally poisoning her, or if she meant that he was poisoning her by negative energy. I think I've heard her use such terminology before, tho I can't recall where.
At least that is the likely explanation she'd fall back on if she was publically called out on this. :(

That's the beauty of Robert's site, Minarvia. I think the way Robert presents his information lets people make up their own minds about her reasons.

In this example, he simply presents the transcript of the show (assuming he can confirm the story) and let's the reader decided.

That depends on what sounds better. Where he actually chemically poisoning her, it'd come off as a resounding hit and negative energy would never be brought up. If he wasn't, negative energy would be brought in as damage control.

Just keeping SB from resting.

Aren't wooden stakes used for that purpose?

If he wasn't, negative energy would be brought in as damage control. It's negative psychic energy that causes cancer! Don't you guys know anything?

jesus that posioning story is sad.

I hope she didnt get diagnosed with cancer later than was possible because of that reading. its certainly possible in my mind.

[Zep]

Surely, given the thousands of "diagnoses" Browne has given out, this won't be the first such personal catastrophe she has been responsible for. So if enough can be found and properly documented, she is facing serious legal trouble she probably can't buy her way out of.

Practicing medicine without a license is a felony, I'm pretty sure.

I'm only sorry that people had to be hurt in order for La Browne to get in this much trouble.

Somebody, please, sue her, charge her, something?

"...we cut off her head, and drove a stake through her heart, and burned it, and then she found peace."

I was reminded of this great line from the 1990's Dracula movie. Not that I advocate violence against Sylvia. But if something like this did ever happen, I would hope she would find peace.

the thing is she never pretended to be a doctor. a doctor diagnoses people and then comes up with a treatment plan. I really do not consider her just telling someone she has been poisoned to be practicing medicine, even though I find this whole thing completely disgusting.

and we all know she will have some way to wriggle out of this, like saying that they cant prove she wasnt poisoned at some point in time and her psychic abilities didnt reveal the cancer to her, etc. and I dont think most people would be sympathetic for a woman who trusted sylvia browne over a doctor with her health anyway, and she will just bs her way out of it.

Is this broadcast available anywhere else? I didn't see this until long after the 24 hour window had past.

The call from the gentleman may well be a part of an article on my site at some point, though.

Just because she died of cancer doesn't mean her husband didn't poison her. Maybe the cancer got her first. :p
