Not to knock anyone's religious beliefs however I need to know, does anyone here think this is for real? I think it looks at best like total quackery and at worst outright fraud. I'm always running into this website while looking for medical information on Google.
Please do not "fix" this link, it is pasted as intended, please remove the spaces in the domain name and copy to your location bar, the reason is Google searches DPC and it assigns site ranks by the number of references, if it sees a valid URL for this site it will earn the site one more point to the top which is bad for everyone. Ok? So please do not repaste this, correct it, etc. Just remove the spaces personally, thank you.

#1 rule of thumb:
If it sounds too good to be true.
It is. |

Interesting!
I've been battling RA for 20 years. I've heard of/tried so many treatments, but I never tried that one. My mom learned Reiki, and she believes crap like that works. The woman she learned it from believes that you can send Reiki to people, which sounds sort of like this vibration thing. Reiki did nothing for me, so I'm doubting that signing up for vibrations on the internet will do any good either.
I was very skeptical just by reading the questions. It has not been scientifaclly proven that accidents/injuries cause RA, so all of the questions pertaining to that led me to believe that website really didn't know what they were talking about. |

Yea, pretty sad. Sad because there are people out there that will pay that for something that isn't a sure thing.
At least when you charge a sitting fee, the client can look through your portfolio and get a good idea what they will get for their money. |

True. The other sad thing is that from what I understand about RA, many people get to the point where they are willing to spend anything just to have some relief. I have a "touch" of arthritis in one of my fingers, and what I suspect is developing into arthritis in my knee and shoulder. It hurts, and when it "flairs" up, it makes my whole existence miserable.
I only hope that the people that spend that kind of cash get *some* kind of relief! |

Funny that you bring up Reiki...
I have a familial relation to an individual involved with Reiki, and its instruction.
In a nutshell, their entire "life story" and title are largely fabrications, presumably like the treatment.
Again, several thousand dollars are required for treatment or instruction.
Sad that there are people out there that will do such things to those that are already downtrodden.
I'm personally all for treatments if somebody gets something out of it- placebo is extremely strong- but that doesn't mean you have to charge them 2500 bucks for it. |

Btw, here is a list of all the medical problems "treated"...
www.vedic vibration.com/disorders.html
Same thing, please do not fix this link, see above for reason, paste into location bar and remove space to visit.
I think it is sad also.
Btw, according to Wikipedia Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is a real person who died Feb of 2008. Seems he was somewhat famous and had a television show and met with the Beatles.
Maybe it is just me, but if I had the power to cure the sick, I certainly wouldn't filter people based on income but rather need of help. |

it works
usually after realizing that the treatment doesnt work and that you've been suckered off $700 for it, you'd be slapping yourself silly till you're in too much pain to feel anything else. so in a way, it works. |
