Johanna Michaelsen is she for real?

[Mr. Blackwell]

True, there is that. But why take a chance? The gal said that they were extremely selective about who was chosen to receive the surgeries.

Makes me wonder what the criteria for being chosen was exactly.

It sounds like wigglytuff really wants to believe and is looking for
someone here to validate it for him.

Or has a hard time believing someone would *gasp* LIE!

Wiggly - I haven't watched the video. Having seen this kind of crap debunked by the Amazing Randi (amongst others) is enough for me. If it's supernatural, it doesn't exist except in the minds of those who push it on people.

E.

well its just that this story with this woman sounds so messed up to me...and combined with other people who claim they saw this surgeon do stuff well, it kinda bothered me, and i just wanted to talk about it

[Betelnut]

Wiggly--a good place for you to go for more discussion would be the Skeptic Society Forum.  They have whole sections devoted to Healthcare AND Scams both of which would be a great place for more debunking.  Hey, I'm not saying the folks here on WWGHA aren't good for this--they are--but the Skeptics Forum is designed to debunk this kind of ridiculous crap.  And, unfortunately, there is a lot of ridiculous crap out there designed to get money from desperate sick people.

and a nother funny thing is that hal lindsey at the start of the book said that there is "growing evidence of forces beyond the natural scope of science"  yeahhhh

"Growing"

[wigglytuff]

one last up date i wrote to one of the people that Michaelsen citied in her book and he said that a friend of his went to the psychic surgeon before and did tests on the "blood" in the surgery..found out it was fake...

It's true, though, because people are making up more evidence. It's just not particularly strong evidence, or even true evidence. If someone purgers in court, it's still evidence, until someone finds out that it was untrue evidence.
