Psychic Surgery…as quack as quack can be


Medical doctors go through years of training, years of studying, years of tests and trials in order to be called a doctor…they also have giant bills from their schooling to pay back. Now this is just to be considered a medical doctor and this doesn’t count the extended number of years in which these men and women study to be experts in their profession of expertise as well. These people train very hard and very diligently, especially those who ultimately become a type of surgeon within their field. They must practice on cadavers and mannequins, they must know the proper technique in which to surgically and precisely cut into a patient while holding the scalpel carefully and accurately so in order not to do more damage then they intended to do while making the incision.

Once these trained people have made the incision they begin to precisely and accurately explore through the human body looking for the item they are looking for. They could be looking for a tumor, a ruptured appendix, a hernia…any part of the internal human body that is not working as the way it should and that only surgery and the removal or fixing could help the patient survive and live another day. Surgery should only be performed by those people who are trained…those people who know the human body…those people who know what they are looking for…those people who know how to fix and cure what they are looking for within the human body.

With having said all that and talking the importance of surgery and the skill and craft and training in which doctors, both men and women, must go through I now want you to look at psychic surgery.
Psychic surgery has been around for many years and its first documented occurrence being that of the mid 1900’s. It was said to have become evident of the spiritual community within the Philippines and Brazil and then it began to creep across the world.

The basis of psychic surgery is for the person or “patient” to have a strong spiritual faith in what the so  called doctor was doing and to have faith and believe the “doctors” hands were being led by God to search out and remove or fix the afflicted area within the human body. The basic principal is that the patient lays on a table in the room and the “doctor” preps by washing the area with iodine and washing his hands like that of a normal surgery prep…now this is where it stops being anything legitimate, well that and the fact that the room in which they are conducting this quack science is not sterile in any capacity. Now the “doctor” places his hands on the patient and presses down only to have blood and the disappearance of the doctors hands supposedly into their body. The hands then reemerge with bits of tissue or organ covered in blood. The “doctor” then rubs the area with water and the area is clean and clear of any incision or damage from the “doctors” hands. See to good to be true that the “doctor” simply puts his hands into the body of a person and pulls the bad parts out…well then you would be correct because this is total and complete 100% bullshit.

Psychic surgery is nothing more than a cheap magic trick of sleight-of-hand conjured up to prey on those people of weak mind to believe such crap. Now I don’t really blame the people who goes to these quacks, they are looking for cures, they have a disease and their back is against the wall…they are scared and don’t know where else to turn except to faith…and there is nothing wrong with that. What I do have a problem with is the people spewing such false prophesies of healing and surgery. In fact Andy Kauffman fell victim to this and ultimately died because of his belief in a quack psychic surgeon who claimed to have removed the cancer from his body. The Amazing Randi has discredited these people time and time again along with other magicians and those people who wish to protect the innocent. These psychic surgery quacks need to be shut down and put out of business as well as face some sort of criminal mischief charge while being fined so bad they can barely rub two nickels together.

Am I to harsh in my opinion and statement??? I doubt it… if you saw innocent people being taken of their money and ultimately dying because of these quacks I think you would feel the same.

So don’t believe these people, seek true medical help for your illnesses. Now I am a huge fan of holistic medicine and natural healing, but when it comes to something serious please consult a doctor.

Be safe and don’t give into quacks,
