Open questioning is healthy, skepticism is another 'ism' and is therefore, harmful. Many a person has suffered because of adherence to yet another 'ism', which in the case of being a skeptic, simply taking it too far. You can skepticism yourself right out of effective healing, miracles, and even a broader sense of reality.

So for example, remaining open, yet constantly seeking, is a wise move in my opinion, and this is what I do. I never take anything at face value, which is why I test, test, test again, physically and spiritually, and test over expanded time frames, and invest in what I need to run these tests, sometimes hundreds of dollars in testing gear. It's not because I subscribe to an 'ism', it's because I like to satiate the desire of my left hemisphere to see affirmation, while keeping my intuitive side on the right track.

For prills, it's a low cost investment, just a few dollars. The drum beat of them has been steadily increasing over the years, and a few people I consider pretty health conscious, are advocates of them. So I examined them over time, before ordering. Then a few more people chimed in, such as Mr. Booth, an expert spiritual dowser that indicated he found a 800% improvement in water treated with them. Then Marshall comes in with similar findings, then another guru I know chimes in. So for a few dollars, I try it, and carefully, slowly, examine the processes of it, of which I am still doing. I run various water tests to determine the activity of it, and watch my biological processes for beneficial or negative responses to it. I test it on others willing to test, and some not knowing they are being tested. Even so, I still continue my research, Dave has actually provided me more information to further that research, and I am actually grateful.

The top scientists in the world are the ones conducting backroom and basement experiments, these are the movers and shakers. Not these white coated charlatans at major universities. I contacted one about "Ice Spikes" one time, and was told it is "Impossible" to duplicate them outside of controlled circumstances. I explained exactly how I can do it, and do it repeatedly, and he said "That's nonsense", and stopped talking to me. That's the kind of ridiculous close minded, skepticism that's screwing this country up - the one these so-called experts have an abundance of.

My friend Magda Havas proved, without doubt, that EMF exposure accelerates our aging, and in the process of doing that, accelerates the symptoms of aging, including tumors. We wait around for study after study, discussion after discussion, and nothing ever gets done.. She invests in her own equipment, runs her own studies, and comes up with results that nobody can really deny. She's a true scientist.

someone can ever *prove* any of it to me <lol>  dee

My concern is that people on this list may take up on something outlandish and

  Whenever this kind of thing shows up it aggravates me to no end ( holy water 
is ordinary tap water)
(blessing before killing doesn't make it less dead) All the other mystic stuff, 
too numerous to quantify is what I called CRAP. You are right that it is all 
Perception, that is what gives us the placebo effect. But it seldom ever 
continues to help over a period of time.
