Switzerland a fertile ground for traditional medicine healers

With my left hand I detect what is wrong and with my right hand I heal

So what physical process leads to the "healing" in this case? The only physical interaction appears to be touch.

I suggest a clinical trial in which we have 200 rats with tumours. Mr Vipret can touch, or "heal" 100 of the rats and the other 100 are left as a control group. How many of you believe that the rats that Mr Vipret "heals" will live longer than those he doesn't? I believe that Mr Vipret will not heal any of the rats.

Of course, these people refuse to take part in such trials as it would expose their being nothing but fraudsters. I think before these people are allowed to practice they must have their "abilities" confirmed in such controlled trials.

Historically Doctors were very good at diagnosis ==> because they had to be (Chinese and many poorer nations doctors still are). They literally could look at you and with a little work and common sense figure it out. Now Doctors mostly rely on radiation tests (x-rays, MRI) which do increase cancer risk.

For true health you really need to eat well. =All organic with no pesticides if you can. -This is very hard to do in urban areas and you can actually see the health of people getting worse. You see it in the skin (largest organ) first.

If you ever go to one of these countries check out a Doctor just to get a check-up and see how they think your body is doing. What is obvious does not always come up on tests.

Myself, I prefer to consult fairies and elves to deal with my medical issues.

“There is no other place, in Europe at least, where this subject is as accepted,” she tells AFP.

Doesn't the British health system cover some alternative quack therapies too?

Well, maggots and leaches, but those actually work to eat dead skin, drain excess blood . The story talks about "healers" who really are quacks. I'd place more faith in a maggot over them any day.

Now Doctors mostly rely on radiation tests (x-rays, MRI) which do increase cancer risk.

X-rays exams use ionizing radiation and can increase cancer risk; MRI scans don't, and don't. You may be thinking of CT.

MRI by their nature use radiation as I stated.

On 31 May 2011 the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). ==> This gets into the issue of cell phone use.

"abundance of caution" ===> "risk"

It seems some like to hold that cell phone directly against their brain (they like the warm feeling) and there are others that do not. It is your choice and your brain.

Is there a link between breast cancer and cell phones? Some doctors say they’re seeing evidence of breast cancer that could be connected to where some women keep their mobile phone–in their bras. Tiffany Franz got breast cancer at just 21-years-old. She had no genetic predispositions or other risk factors–except where she kept her cell phone.

“It just so happened her tumors were exactly where her cell phone had been against her skin her bare skin for about six years,” Traci Frantz, Tiffany’s mom, told KTVU in Oakland. Tiffany had to have her left breast removed.

Donna Jayes also got breast cancer. While she was a bit older, her late 30′s, she also had no genetic risk factors. The connection is where the tumors developed. Her doctor says they formed just under the skin, exactly matching her cell phone, and just under the surface of her skin. She says she kept her phone in her shirt for ten years. She later had a mastectomy.
