A relative of mine once went in for this. She was suffering from late stage cancer. Chemo was slowing the deterioration but the side effects were too bad.

She basically decided that she was not going to have any more chemo.

Went to this Tibetan medicine centre. Seemed to be general woo with some herbal medicine, some meditation etc.

Didnt help. She passed on within a couple of months.

What really bugged me was the fact that the woos pretended that they could cure her.

Thats a real shame and I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she didn't go and see the some guy here?

He has two more websites that I have found and apparently he has written lots of books on the subject.

Is he just a quack who is fleecing gullible sick patients and pretending that he can cure them?

She went to a centre in India. Family was medically aware but went with the woo since medicine had basically given up on her.

I dont know the details of this guy but my alarm is ringing

With regards to Christopher Hansard - have you seen the posts on the Rick A. Ross Cult Education forum? Google 'christopher hansard cult' and you will find the website.

Yes I have. I went there just the other day with people saying that he is a complete fraud and then other sticking up for him.

It is a shame the press can't expose him for what he is!!

Here's hoping.
