The NewAge Way Of Death (I'm In Touch With Your World)

 

 "You know what's funny right now? Watching the hardcore left, walking away from their hardcore-ness. You know? After they fuckin' took out so many innocent people...yeah, you did that" 

   

 Jessie 'Boss Lee' dies six months after rejecting chemotherapy in favor of holistic remedies

A homeopath who treated the cancer-stricken wife of toxicologist Peter Dingle told an inquest today she had helped put her patient in touch with a psychic.

"[Elisabeth Targ] was a doctor. She knew her bounds: When someone is about to lose a loved one, never deny them their faith."

  AND THEN FINALLY THERE'S THIS: 

 "The time for miracles had run out on Elisabeth Targ. It was a scary moment for the uninitiated, her lungs suddenly gasping for air, trying to hang on, hyperventilating, nearly barking, spasming for more than half an hour. But this literal last gasp is how most die,..." 

   

 "It's such a lovely way to go"

 

Just Water (Mayhem, Monsters, And Matrimony)

I have said, so many times, that homeopaths don't give a damn about professional conduct, it gets to be a drag to do this blog sometimes, because I feel like I'm going over the same terrain, over and over, while watching people get killed, when the truth of what they're up to is right here, collected by me, in one place for all to see.

Now (surprise!) it seems the late Penelope Dingle's homeopath, Francine Scrayen, has been discovered to have gone off the professional plantation over the course of her so-called career:

"A probe into the death of Penelope Dingle, a 45-year-old cancer patient, in 2005, has revealed that she had gone in for a less popular treatment for the diagnosis, refusing to choose the conventional methods.

Coroner Alastair Hope claimed that homeopath Francine Scrayen had agreed to treat Penelope by going off the medical code of conduct.

The National President of the Australian Homeopathic Association Michelle Hookham said Mrs. Scrayen is currently enrolled with the institution.

"We do have codes of conduct and we are continually updating members and advising them of legal aspects", said Ms Hookham.

She however, clarified that the practitioner himself or herself remains responsible for adherence to the code of conduct.

Alastair Hope said that Francine Scrayen has always been inefficient in her medical practices.  She lacked in the professional expertise, as well.

He pointed out that William Barnes and Igor Tabrizian, who were the doctors approached by Penelope, should be questioned publicly.

He further revealed that the Penelope took the decision after studying enough about chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgeries.

He opined that the incident suggests that homeopathic treatments should not be legalized. He also urged the authorities to assess the alternative treatments. "

Aww, come on, how can you not legalize a so-called "medical treatment" that doesn't work, has no active properties, and is mostly supported by criminality, ignorance, and a nonsensical belief system? Puh-leaze.

Based on results like Penelope's, I think NewAge should be the basis for the entirety of Western civilization. Oh, wait, it already is.

My bad.

Anyway, the story gets better because, if you remember, Penelope's husband, Peter Dingle, is a kind of Dr. Oz of Australia (no, really, he's that crazy) and was found to be a harm to everyone - even himself! - but especially to his own wife:

"Mrs Dingle's husband Peter, a prominent toxicologist, was `a victim of his own misinformation' and had `no qualifications in health and wellness'.

Dr Dingle, who was a guest presenter on the ABC's Can We Help? program, had written papers arguing that chemotherapy was ineffective in treating cancer."

Sigh. When is anyone going to openly call these quacks criminals? Has anybody mentioned that, after he and this homeopath killed his wife, he went out and married another homeopath?

That kind of makes my ex-wife, Karine Anne Brunck, having sex with the quack that killed her mother seem kind of quaint. And it definitely fits a pattern.

Anyway, I see I'm not the only one who gets depressed over this stuff - an affect nonsense can have on non-believers that no one cares about, or takes into consideration, as the continue to allow this madness to go on. Listen to The Guardian's Martin Robbins:

"So we can't regulate these products as medicines because they'd end up being banned, but we'll let them be called medicines anyway? It gives me a headache just trying to think down to the level of the person who wrote this stuff.

The report accepts that there's no evidence that homeopathy works, but apparently this shouldn't be a barrier to it being distributed via the NHS because not handing out medicines that don't work might infringe the freedom of patients to choose things that don't work.

...What should they do now? As a near namesake of mine once said, I'd make a suggestion, but they wouldn't listen. No one ever does. It's all very depressing."

Indeed it is. And if it was his life destroyed by it (as mine was) or his family member dead (as mine and Penelope Dingle's family were) he couldn't come close to understanding the depths of our anger and despair.

Monkey See Monkey Do (Not Much Of A Plan)

Sorry, lazy, but to party with this post you've got to click the links and fully read what's there as well.

Yea, get that shit: I'm actually trying to get you to understand a much more convoluted point than usual.

Don't worry - if all goes well, you'll have an enjoyable time, and it'll end with your aha! moment and everyone satisfied.

What have you got to lose?

And why do I hear Heart singing "Magic Man" right here? Anyway:

Did you know there was a Yogaville? I didn't know there was a Yogaville. Or a "New" Berlin. At least not until somebody killed a yogi there:

"NEW BERLIN — A St. Louis man saw this bucolic community as the perfect stage to carry out his assassination of beloved yoga master Sudharman, court documents show.



Joel Robert Snider, 33, was arrested in Maryland on Wednesday and charged with one count of felony criminal homicide in the shooting death of Sudharman, once known as Joe Fenton, in what appears to be an assassination plot that spanned from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts.

State police Trooper Matthew Burrows said Sudharman's death was ruled a homicide after an autopsy revealed that the 70-year-old man had been shot multiple times with a small-caliber weapon. His body was found on the floor of his living quarters wrapped in two sheets and a comforter, and bound with duct tape. He had at least one gunshot wound to the neck.



Snider was jailed in Baltimore County, Md., Burrows said, and would be extradited to Pennsylvania, but did not know when the extradition would occur.



Riveting court documents reveal Snider to be a disturbed individual who made no secret of his plans to 'assassinate' both Sudharman and spiritual leader Andrew Cohen.



In the months leading up the Sudharman's killing, Snider sent a series of three e-mails to Swami Karunananda. According to her Facebook page, Swami Karunananda serves as vice president of spiritual development at Yogaville, Buckingham, Va."

I know, I know: if you read this blog regularly, the only thing that stood out for you were two words:

Andrew Cohen.

Why? Because Andrew Cohen is a cult leader.

BTW, do I need to mention how I came across all this? How I was looking up something about good ol' peaceful yoga, run across a story about a murdered yogi, the crime took place in Yogaville, and - lo and behold - out comes slithering my old friend Andrew Cohen, the cult leader.

And you think your job's hard.

But of course, we know Yoga's got nothing to do with cultism, and we know this because a woman who spent 10 days with Cohen's cult (and, probably because of that, wishes to remain unidentified) told us "beliefs that Yogaville is akin to a cult,...are off base."

Isn't it funny how that kind of chatter always gets started where everyone else suspects there's cultish activity going on? Y'know, like Yogaville?

Anyhoo, Andrew Cohen's former followers say it's a cult. Another former member, Andrew Cohen's own mother, says it's a cult. But the mysterious woman who spent 10 days there disagrees - send out the reporters!

The press's myopia regarding NewAge is identical to NewAge's. They see what they want to see - or not. Look at this from the NewAge Peter and Penelope Dingle homeopathic murder case:

"Counsel Assisting the Coroner, Dr Celia Kemp, in her opening address said that the main purpose of the inquest was to find out if tougher controls were needed for the homeopathic industry. Dr. Kemp revealed that Mrs. Dingle was a long time supporter for alternative medicine and was seeing homeopath Francine Scrayen to cure her infertility. In 2001 Mrs. Dingle complained to Ms Scrayen that there was blood in her faeces for which she was advised more homeopathic treatment. Two years later Mrs. Dingle was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Cancer surgeon Dr Cameron Platell says that at that point Mrs. Dingle had a good chance of surviving with surgery.

At that time the couple sought the advice of two other doctors Igor Tabrizian and William Barnes. Dr. Tabrizian practices nutritional medicine and he prescribed a diet plan and supplements for her which she followed. She ignored Dr. Barnes advice. He is [a] general practitioner."

Just as the press will not seriously broach the topic of cultish beliefs, behavior, or even full-blown, mind's gone cults operating in our midsts.

Oh, and as you can see above, television doctor Peter Dingle has a new wife now. She's a homeopath. Those are the kind of little, small, tiny, miniscule, details that get short shrift now'a'days in the rush of journalists to get whatever denials they can find into print before their yoga class.

NewAge.

Yogaville?

You people are out of your fucking minds.

Almost Home Run (Didn't Touch All The Bases)

On the one hand, I'm really excited to see this video because it does a good job of outlining the Thomas Sam case. On the other hand, I'm disappointed to see homeopathy - a german invention - tied so tightly to India, alone. The Sam's live in Australia, as did the uber-NewAge Penelope Dingle, dead at the hands of her NewAge T.V. "doctor" husband - and a homeopath. NewAge, which a belief in homeopathy is a sure indication of, is a world-wide phenomena being exploited by quacks. Dr. Robert Wohlfahrt was killing in France. Dr. Frank Shallenberger killed in Nevada. Their Code of Ethics has a "no snitch" clause. Understand?

Don't get me wrong: I appreciate any lesson I can get on excema. But we have bigger fish to fry as well. The Gloria Sam case is but one, in a myriad of other cases, that reveal the tapestry of a very sick NewAge culture. In just the three cases mentioned above, we're talking about a baby - their baby - a wife, a mother (plus two others) and someone's father. In every case, the Homeopath's excuse adds up to "It wasn't me" when it's obvious their cultish attraction to water as a remedy is but one of a myriad of bad decisions (like playing doctor in the first place) that's driving them to make preventable mistakes.

I hear Shallenberger's back doing what "works". Anybody covering him?

Come on, people, come on. I'm looking down at you.

Nice work, though.
