Re the grounding topic - that makes sense. You ground yourself to get rid of the potential energy which in this case is electricity.
If anything, I'm probably too grounded as it is, which I think Dorothy mentioned about herself, by coincidence. I've never done any Shamanic journeying, so I could probably stand to experience some of that.
Re the rife link from Wackipedia. - I am a bit disappointed that you Phil would use possibly the biggest garbage dispenser on the web (Wackipedia) to show what you know of on the subject.
Everything there is not correct, it's true, but neither is everything there false. As I matter of fact, I read a study that found that Wikipedia was a bit more accurate than the Encyclopedia Brittanica, if I remember correctly. I've generally found it quite useful as a provider links to check out for further investigation, including on topics of my interest. Bear in mind that Tyler is one of the Wikipedia editors, so they're not ALL bad, and BTW, he has done a good job of keeping the raw foods wiki in relatively decent shape.
See their titles, Doctors. That's the first clue. These Doctors have a system of chemotherapy which has possibly the worst record ever for working... slightly more than 2% survivability of 5 years or more.
While I often disagree with physicians, even I am even less impressed by the claims of Hulda Clark, who died from cancer, and other zapper/device proponents, and 99+% of humanity would probably agree with me on that, so it's not like I'm saying anything revolutionary.
Chemotherapy is extremely profitable BTW.
Yes, I would probably rather die than do the most severe forms of chemotherapy, so there's something we probably agree on.
Royal Rife did not make Zappers. Not even close.
Nonetheless, the Hulda Clark praises Royal Rife and his machines. I suspect that all these zappers are useless for anything beyond making money off unfortunate people. I've encountered a lot of cons in my lifetime, and this smells of con, though some sellers of quack products do actually believe in them, and Hulda Clark seems to be one such, because she allowed herself to die rather than try other treatments.
As far as Lex's use of a Rife machine...
I'll just say that I have way more confidence in Lex's credibility, experience and sense than the sellers of these gadgets.
Besides, there are plenty of other alternative cancer treatments that have shown far more promise than these zappers. Dorothy is well versed in many of them.
Hulda Clarke also successfully defended herself against the quack of all quacks, the author of Quackwatch Steven Barrett.
Yeah, don't worry, I'm not a big fan of Barrett. He's like the opposite of Hulda Clark, with a knee-jerk tendency to dismiss all alternative/complementary therapies, whereas Hulda put her complete faith in her "electrical device," apparently misguidedly. However, just like you say Hulda was not necessarily wrong about everything just because she had some wacky views, so the same could be true of Barrett.
Your last statement is the most telling. You have never tried them yet they appear to be worthless.
Yeah, Lex tried a similar device for me, with the expected result. I'm not about to try every therapy on the market. I can't afford it for one. So I try the plausible ones that have at least some sound science behind them.
Additionally you have to buy one. I guess allopathic medicine must be free.
Who said I use only allopathic medicine? Just because I don't use "electrical devices" or zappers or whatever you want to call them doesn't mean I use only drugs and surgery or some such. For one thing, you know I use a raw Paleo diet, so you already know that's not true.
Raw food must be free also as you are willing to give them a go.
Again, I give reasonable things with some real science behind them, that seem to have a good potential to treat my health issues, a go. When I read how the Paleo diet was undergirded by the fundamental biological model of evolution, it made sense to me.
How the heck could an infection on the surface of the skin disappear from placebo effect?
I've read of far more amazing effects than that. It's called mind-body medicine or sometimes "miracles". Read the work of John Sarno, David Felten and others, and here are a few links I found:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2582657/, http://www.healwithhope.com/illness-prevention/general-health/mind-and-body-connection/, http://www.holistic-mindbody-healing.com/nocebo.html. Placebo effect doesn't necessarily mean "nothing really happens," it often means the body and/or mind heals, and it's believed that sometimes this is due to the amazing healing powers of the mind/body connection.
At any rate, feel free to use all the electrical devices you want, I'm still not interested, sorry.
