You might have added the webpage link you mentioned. As most Miss Andrews are that of the famous Julie Andrews who often stars in plays in New York.

I would however like to post one link (of many) for Mr Andrews, the leading expert on alternative medicine.

As a real doctor and likewise being a educated authority on all kinds of medience he once investigated a large number of althernative healers around the globe, from Amazon bush shamans to high tech people and of course modern religions of very faith.

His investigation would quickly weed out the fakes from the ones who could heal people. As he would test the people before and after they visited the faith healer.

In his last chapter he made his conclusions.

He found that belief was a major factor, that having full confidence in the person conducting the healing played a key role in attainting the result expected. He also discovered that the "newer" the cure was the better it worked. In other words if someone came up with a new way to get that miricale he would heal more people then if the belief had been around and known about for a long time. As if over time the belief would start to become stale and less effective.

He has written a large number of books and has appeared on a lot of TV shows and so forth.

It sort of falls in line with the idea that if you believe you can overcome a major problem your chances improve greatly then if you have doubts or are prone to giving up.

During the 1980s and early 1990s I spent much of my computer time at Spiritweb which was then the number one webpage for alternative religions and they had chat rooms, forums, and links for all kinds of information. This webpage was closed down a while back because the originator no longer wanted to maintain it. (retired).

The point being is I got to know some of the phycics on a personal bases and not relative to busness. They do not view their services as ripping people off but believe that energy must have returned energy and so paying is simply an exchange of time for time. You would not expect a plumber to fix your kitchen sink for free, and if you want some spiritual repair work you should not expect someone to do that for free, it is just how the system works nowadays. Everyone must make a living (pay bills, buy food) at their occupation, it is not a hobby.

Notice that people pay much more for Starbuck coffee because they are sold on the idea that it is new, it is the in-thing to drink, and because they mask the taste with many options. But it is still a drug that we use as a stemulent. I never really fell for that new "spiritual" concept for coffee so I just buy the normal stuff and get a whole can of make-it-your self coffee that can last all week for the price of just one cup of their deceptive coffee.
