Comment on Marietta Theunissen exploits the vulnerable by Angela

There are a lot of fakes out there. I think almost 90% and maybe more of the
people out there are fakes.

But Marietta Theunissen are not a fake. It’s the people that can’t open their minds to what’s out there that’s saying there is no such thing. It’s people that has no idea who or what she is, that’s quick to judge. For those jumping so quickly on the band waggen, saying she’s gonna burn, it’s clear you haven’t watched a show of her’s yet, cause if you had, you would’ve seen in just one show that she’s a christen.

She’s much more a christen than all you out there judging without even knowing her! So wake up and smell the coffee! You’re all looking at life with your eyes closed! Open them and you’ll be surprised as to what you’ll find!

Thank my husband cheated on me – and I called this women again – she confirmed everything I expected. She even got the DATE right as my husband later confessed all of this to me!!! – Please explain how this fits into Ian Rowland’s The Full Facts Book of Cold Reading? I might be to naive and gullible like you call it

I have spoken to a psychic once and please do explain to me than how she got everything right to the point. I spoke about my husband grandmother – now why would she tell me that this lady was a big lady and was a proper grandmother. And she had a problem with her knee??? I never mentioned any prolems of the old lady!!! Than why would she all of a sudden talk about the loss of her daughter which was than 50 years ago???? And I never said anoything of this – there must be something to this! And with all my respect – if you want to have an open opinion and go and see for yourself before making asumptions!!!!

# katty I feel terribly sorry for people like who are so naive and gullible to believe what these con artists say, A person can only help him/herself, just go read the wiki link about Cold Reading here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_reading. People ( if there is even any ) will not use their abilities to make millions of rands. You just do not &*%$#@ with the spiritual world

I’ve witnessed Mariette Theunissen do amazing things for people. I’ve witnessed open and honest doctors do amazing things for people. The criticisms here are incredibly negative and typically destructive of someone who does nothing more than help others with the amazing ability that she has. When I go to a doctor, they give me their ‘expert opinion’. She is giving hers as a psychic. It’s up to all of us as individuals to assess the relevance of these comments to our lives, and to choose whether or not to adopt them. Tim, I see you believe in Darwin’s thinking – he got ridiculed for his ideas. Maybe you should be mindful of ridiculing thinking that is outside your realm of comprehension.

Comment on Sangomas at university by Vusi Moloi

There are scientific reasons why it’s important for the Unversity of Witwatersrand to offer university degrees in the Sangoma profession. The University runs the risk of being irrelevant if it does not adapt. Western societies have been gradually losing patients to alternative medicine or health care. Non-Western medicine like Chinese Acupuncture, among others, have grown explosively and many even command their own universities and colleges (including research institutes) in North America.

Medical science has been losing ground because it has also become some kind of a religious institution based on Darwinist thinking. The Darwinist philosophy has resulted in a number of poor approaches towards curative medicine because of an inherent belief in adapt, mutate and so forth. If you believe in adapt then you are not going to remove a problem because you can always adapt to it. If the problem kills you it means you were not genetically fittest. This Darwinist strategy also has an economic advantage because the shareholders become profitable this way because for as long as the problem exists, we will treat it. In this way it’s not advantageous to remove the problem completely. Look at a simple illness like flu, it has been with us for centuries and yet western medicine has not found cure for it and yet when you go to a pharmacy you find an endless cocktail of how to fight or treat cold.

Contrast that with an Africanist approach which takes a systems approach (some call this holistic) whereby the problem must be eliminated. If you follow that approach then you are going to make a good faith attempt to get rid of the problem. Colon cancer is very high among White South Africans particularly English South Africans. The same disease is almost non-existent (less than 1 per 100 000) among the African population. Part of the reason has to do with the Sangomas who recommend the remedies and the preventative diets which effectively eliminate colon cancer among the African population. The Africans who might suffer from this are those who live in cities like Johannesburg and have adopted western lifestyle.

It is sad to read that kind of article about chiropractor practitioners. I wish all chiropractors understand that chiropractic treatment is use to cure people.

Literally, I spent 2 hours Monday nite trying to get handle on what “Healthcare Reform” actually means-I am miffed. It seems that President Obama is making some sort of run at political consensus building about nationalized healthcare. And I can’t get a handle on first of all, what does it mean in 1) change in the current system 2) the money required to initiate and administrate the change
