Gaffa tape works wonders, especially on verrucas.
Genuinely. It's like magic.

It's well known that realtors get better deals on their houses, doesn't seem to go like that for fire tamers it would seem.

#7Since data is now the plural of anecdote... Frenchman here. Someone I knew fell from his bike without appropriate gear and ended up in the burn ward. His wife was very into the fire tamer thing and sent him a few practitioners...
He took the morphine.
On another note, I had respect for Aeon as a publication, and now I got a lot less.

#8Never forget:
For all the little bit of positive results for a placebo there are also negative effects due to noceboeffect.
Also it's very common in esoterica that if it works it was the healer if it didn't it was something you did wrong.

#10My dad went to one when his cancer entered the terminal phase, I think he knew it was bullsh*t but it was a more human « treatment » than everything else he went through so he liked it. I still think it was a charlatan preying on him but I guess no more amoral than crystals moms and essential oils MLMs.
