Well, I suppose it's technically possible. It's odd that no psychics have ever managed to heal anyone in the past, so I don't think it's worth banking on.


If you're healed, of course it can be proven to others. That's how we know psychics have never managed to heal anyone. They're like homoeopaths in that respect.

How is it proven except solely to the person done too? given word spreads of it, the 'psychic' wouldn't have a minute to him/herself and rather keep it on the down-low (omg he/she has the power to heal but they are just watching tv now!! when im really sick and need to be healed, like the other billion out there).

The 'psychic' works their magic and presdo they are healed. The person who is healed rings his friends n family saying a 'psychic' healed me, they either;
a: say bs, where did u go
b: bs, you're just lucky
c: see i told you it would just go away
d: ok whatever, a psychic healed you.. can i get a prescription of the drugs your on too?

and finally maybe
e: holy **** i dont believe it, your actually better, a psychic has this power? take me to them please!

probably some more i missed too lol.

Then that psychic would be an outright evil person.


and in the end it turns out, their psi powers really did work, you are healed.

That doesn't even make sense. I don't believe because there is no evidence. I could not chose to believe - even for my own good. If I did get healed, there would be evidence and I would aptly change my mind.


You would join the group of 'woos' along side of them, as it can only be proven to you, in a sense. But given you've gone to all the effort to bring a psychic, whether or not a fraud, down you might not get the chance and have to wait in line for treatment at your local hospital, which in any chance isn't so bad either is it?

Are you really bullying a sick person into believing the ******** lies of you and your ilk by suggesting that this might potentially one day offer him a chance of a cure?

Are there no puke-icons around here?

To me, it just sounds like your jealous and full of envy..
Click to expand...

Since we all know she doesn't have powers, it would be difficult to envy her.

Whether or not she has abilities, you want her to be a lab rat to increase your knowledge on such abilities
Click to expand...

Assuming she has any such abilities, yes. New discoveries push humanity forward. No one is suggesting dissecting her... yet.

when it actually takes one-self to understand them within you, not a lab or a scientist and jealous she has them and you dont.

I'm sorry. Didn't you ever read anything I said about introspection ?

You get a lot of patients with comparable conditions and split them at random into two groups. The psychic then attempts to heal the patients in one group, but not those in the other group, without anybody letting the patients know which group they are in. At a predetermined point you examine the patients and see if the ones the psychic tried to heal are doing any better than the ones they didn't try to heal.

Actually, Robert was on TV, and on a real news show with Anderson Cooper, not some daytime talk show. And the expose of Sylvia damn nearly made her nuts. So nuts that she sneaked in and stole Robert's original domain name. It wasn't hard to see which of the two was acting more like a baby.

The whole point is not be a lab rat.

Cause & effect..
 
Tricky said:
Indeed.

Cause: Ripoff artist lying to people to get money.
Effect: Honest citizen trying to stop the practice.
Click to expand...
and a rift is created and another cause & effect is done with the citizen being the cause and another rift happens again with the ripoff artist being the cause.

It goes around in circles till someone either stops or moves on, if not expect stuff to happen...

Edit: Oh and 'Psychics' dont play fair.

A Doctor is never a lab rat.

Wait, so when a doctor uses a treatment on a test group while not using it on a control group, she's not a lab rat, but when a psychic does the same, she is?
What's inappropriate about submitting psychic healing to the same medical testing techniques that we use on all legimite treatments?
...other than the fact that the psychics might fail, of course...

Even if it's your only chance ?

Experimental treatment = unproven treatment, no matter who is offering it

Kind of a double standard you have here. You would accept the unproven claims of a psychic, ie to be a "lab rat" for a psychic, but not for a treatment that might actually work according to preliminary evidence.

So, if I understand your "logic" correctly, the less evidence for a treatment you will find, the more you're likely to try it ? :hypnotize

The doctor is using lab rats to test a treatment, he/her isn't the lab rat.
The 'Psychic' is a lab rat testing his/her abilities on patients, The 'Psychic' is the one under surveillance, not the Doctor.

No. The treatment is under surveillance -- neither the doctor nor the psychic.
But the other posters are right: psychic healing doesn't work, and you don't want medical evidence of that. If you did, it would be easy enough to test.
