I think by 'farewell' she means for her clients to say goodbye to their money.

But then she found there was no need to retire as a certain critic, who was in the process of destroying her career, had a serious stroke.

50 years. You'd think there'd be MANY examples of being correct by now. Dozens. Hundreds, even.

Just show us one.

I considered buying that package for a moment. But then I thought "hey, even my most dire enemy doesn't deserve that".

If her claims had merit, wouldn't events like this be creating competition? We should be seeing Silvia-ites (or Prahg-ites, or whoever) popping up everywhere, with successful venues and highly priced consultations.

I mean, whenever there's training in vocations and professions, people leave the training looking for related jobs...

I'm not seriously suggesting this as a use for JREF funds but I would be intrigued to see what the takeup would be if the foundation held an event at one of these "health" resorts.
