Concentrating on One's Breath

This came to the chat room via a user, "Chereddy_Krishna". It's a simple yet advanced technique. At least that's what this idiot called it. And, all you need to do is "to sit down , keep ur fingers in fingers , close ur eyes , and just 'concentrate on your Breath'". Does it matter if one's breath is garlic-y? Sour? Does someone who has severe halitosis have a rougher or easier time? I'm all confused. But that's another matter.

Yes, indeed. Concentrating on your breath is the cure for HIV and AIDS. Or maybe it isn't. Take for example this exchange from the chat room (my comments in Blue):

ME: Chreddy, breathing is the cure for HIV...
chereddy_krishna: yes it brings in invisible COSMIC energy
ME: So, if I just concentrate on my "breath" I will be cured of HIV infection. Interesting. How long does it take?
chereddy_krishna: u have to meditate at the least no of minutes as ur Age
chereddy_krishna: if ur 32 32min
chereddy_krishna: if ur 40 40min
ME: Chreddy, how does concentrating on your breath work to destroy HIV?
chereddy_krishna: yes the actual point is you get YOGIC pains which are results of ur past wrong doings ; these pains are to be beared and u get cured after that


Where do these fuckers get these ideas? "Cosmic energy" that "cures all ILLNESS" because it "enters during meditation"???

I asked him what the process which the "cosmic energy" uses to destroy HIV and he kinda sorta just shut up. He repeated over and over "I just know it cures" and similar unproven statements and completely made up anecdotal "evidence".

Further, as usual, I asked him if he has proof that thinking about one's breath will cure HIV and AIDS. He replied, "documentation is that has to be done in Pdf format and be distributed". After I asked if the .pdf file had been published in the usual peer-reviewed medical journal he denied that any such document existed. Which only served to confuse me.

He continued, "i [sic] just have many friends here who cured all their disearses [sic] using this meditation". And we're supposed to just believe this internet fucker 'cause he has no proof of that, either. Hell, he didn't even know how he was measuring the cure.

He finished by telling me to "hang to scientific things" and "i [sic] say my purpose is to just express it but not prove it; if u [sic] think it all flook then leave it".

"Flook"? What the fuck is "flook"?

Thank you, Chereddy. I will "hang to scientific things" because most "scientific things" are, you know, proven. It's part of the process of being scientific. Unlike your bullshit which is just made up and absurd. Yes, meditation by concentrating on your breathing (which is what he really meant) may have some stress-relieving benefits, but it isn't going to cure anyone of HIV nor AIDS.

Pass the Tic Tacs...

Well, these comments (posted, like this one, on or about May 12, 2008) are staying. Why? Because the guy's a nut case. (He deleted a comment simply because it had a typo; but left in all the "u" in place of "you" and other bad grammar.)

"What you did in a past life to get AIDS"???? What the hell is this asshole talking about? Is he trying to imply that it's because of alleged-previous-life actions cause problems in this life? (Where's the proof that there even *are* previous lives??)

And, as a sort of tell-tale sign of a scam, he says "I got a new thing". Probably because the "old" thing didn't do squat. And I don't think the fucking "new" thing is going to do anything either. The sites he posted are simply too confusing to navigate. (If he had *linked* the URLs, the comments would have been summarily removed.)

Oh, and check out Chedder's blog; it hasn't been updated since at least June of 2007. (Not that this blog would win any great updating prize, mind you.)
