I think we should remember to respect others veiws rather than threadjack. If you want to "veiled insult" others beliefs, then start a thread and do it there where folk can choose to join your bandwagon freely rather than on a thread where it's going to cause potential offense to folk who want to be supportive to a much respected OP.

it was meant to illustrate how one person can interact in a positive way towards another. self appointed?, special powers? a chaplain has special powers.? obviously things have moved on since your retirement, amazingly these people 'mumbling over me with an unproven remedy' are now used extensively within the NHS here in the midlands.

but hey ho, each to their own eh? :D

Woo is woo and this is an open forum. The insult to pretend treatments is, I hope, not veiled. Suppose the old person had died would he have taken any responsibility for interfering in that case as well as claiming credit for an apparent recovery? Not of course that his actions would have had an effect either way.

The NHS still supports homeopathy to its discredit.

I remember that unproven is unproven which applies to Reiki and any other similar "treatment" especially those that rely on the abilities of a self-appointed natural healer or whatever term is appropriate. If it is legitimate to make such claims then it is legitimate to challenge them or should we be silent in admiration?

A well loved and trusted member posts up he has undergone a hospital visit for heart trouble and you try and wind him up?

What planet are you from?!

You've put your point clearly and we all understand what you think. We've taken it on board and its a valid and understandable point of veiw. I'm glad you recovered well and are happy with your treatment and outcome, Boatman. Start a thread and lets discuss it there as you obviously have strong feelings and it really isn't appropriate to air them here.

Oh Steve! That's a marvellous story (& one one I recognise :)), all sorts of reasons that get these things to "happen". Glad you took care of yourself and went to the hopsital as well. Sending ... give me a shout if you need anything more.

thank you Elen, it was so nice to talk to someone with an open mind at out North Wood meet. exchanging ideas and experiences can only take you forward. :)

thanks for your input Pete, this thread was meant to have a happy and enlightened feel, its a real shame that there are, some say closed minded, people who are intent for whatever reason in trying to distort and discredit a perfectly valid belief, i wondered where i got the inspiration for my carvings. :D just a joke boatman, just a joke. :rolleyes:

Hey Steve - I thought I was the one supposed to stir things up:) Glad to see you're taking it all in good spirits (or should that be woodspirits?!)

And Boatman - shut the hell up! Not the time or the place......
