Tapping Spots on Your Body and Thinking Happy Thoughts

I'm going to go out on a limb for this one. While today's bullshitter never actually says that his crap will cure AIDS, he doesn't deny it either. In fact, he calls this process a "Universal Healing Aid." The asshole says that his "Universal Healing Aid" has helped--either completely or partially--the thousands of problems, including "Headaches, back pain, stiff neck and shoulders, joint pains, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, ulcerative colitis, [and] psoriasis." The dickwad further states that "There are many, many more [physical ailments]. A complete list is several times as long." What a dick!

And now, the Bullshit!

Today's cure (for everything, no less) comes from the website of Gary Craig. He says that just by tapping specific points on your body in sequence and thinking that you're still a wonderful person, you can cure primarily emotional problems. Which is probably why he calls it "Emotional Freedom Techniques". (Or, EFT. And I thought it meant "Electronic Funds Transfer." Silly me!!) He goes on to mention that several people have had their physical ailments aleviated.

Of all the stupid things he says, this one caught my eye. He says that a woman attended one of his overpriced seminars (they'd be overpriced even if they were free) who had vision problems. After doing the tapping and thinking, she said that her vision had cleared! How's that for completely unprovable!?! How's that for an asounding lack of proof???!!!

My guess is that his positive thinking process (which is what this really is) really can work on some emotional problems. However, Mr. Craig (who makes a point of saying he's an ordained minister; being ordained isn't difficult to get done) realized that he needed to bilk more money out of more people so he could make the payments on his yacht. Therefore, he started inferring that people could cure their physical problems (lupus, for example) through his bullshit.

This bullshit is no different than faith healing. The big difference here is that to attend one of Gary's bullshit sessions, you gotta pay him for the honor. Upwards of $200 or more. (He says that he's currently offering a 1/2 off discount for his upcomming tapping crap. Which means, he really wants to charge $400.) This fucker is just another asshole out to get more money from people who are desperate enough to part with it.
