Psychic Surgery

[Florida Warlock]

There was an article online about psychic surgery, where the healer uses a spirit to guide his or her hands through the patients body. There are over four hundred of them on the Phillipine Islands, where psychic surgery was first used, and at least one in every large hotel. There were several successful cases reported.

I don't really have a question; I just thought this would be an interesting thing for you guys to talk about-

So there are over four hundred of these 'psychic surgeons', and there are several successful cases? Doesn't sound like a particularly good track record. Why would hotels have them?

No clue; but I'm probably crossing the Phillipines off my list of vacation-spots.

"After psychic surgery, in many circumstances, the organs remain; only the disease component is no longer evident."

In many circumstances. :eek:

"These are experiences as reported by several of my clients who have recently undergone successful procedures."

"The surgeon they used is Reverand Gregorio from the Philippines."

"It is estimated that there are more than 400 psychic surgeons in the Philippines. There is one in every big hotel in Manila."

"Reverend Tony Agpaoa was the most famous."

There was a tv show on hoax's and how they are done, this is one of them unfortunately. Interesting idea though eh?

Psychic surgery is real. They do a poor job of explaining it to technological modern people. And of course evil wants you to believe that there is no such thing.

Psychic surgery is really just an advanced form of massage. That is it. Nothing special. The practioner develops a special sensitivity in their hands. This allows them to "reach into or inside" of the body and to manipulate a person internally. If an organ is bad, lets say the liver, the practitioner would reach inside and massage the liver, find where it is hard or feeling weird, then do the healing thing to it.

If you talk to long term massuesses, chinese Tuina ones anyways, they can do something like this. Reach deep inside of a persons body and manipulate the internals. It is not like western massage where they beat and pound on your muscles from the outside. It is kind of like a snake wriggling inside of you to the affected area. Feels very scary if you are the type to get scared by feelings from inside of your body.

rest cut for brevity

I do hope you're joking.

James Randi would like to give someone a lot of money if you are correct.

Erm... I think you did a pretty bad job of explaining it too! "do the healing thing to it" is hardly a great description!

Errr.... right....

"Reach inside" my body? Are you talking about a hole in my body, and someone's hand goes through that hole into my body, and is now inside my body, snaking around my organs?

You must have mistyped something. "Reach inside" my body????

In many circumstances. :eek:



All that means is that in the other cases, the disease components were still there, as well as the organs. I know it's not worded that way, but if it actually ended up any differently from that, we would have heard about this in mainstream media.

[samharber]

We have heard about it in the mainstream media. Normally with the headline of FRAUD.

"After psychic surgery, in many circumstances, the organs remain; only the disease component is no longer evident."

So in some cases the organs were missing??? :eek:
