“Dr” Sean Collins (that’s the person who uses the title “Doctor” even though ALL his claimed qualifications are unaccredited) is apparently trained in TFT http://www.healthrestoration.ie/sean.html He is also Rhoda Draper’s business partner! Their self-published book on cancer recovery: “The Key Model” was removed from the Irish Cancer Society website when the society found out that Collins’s qualifications were unaccredited. In nearly all US States it is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE to use the title “Doctor” if it is received from an unaccredited institute. Please also notice how Mr Collins uses “dr” in his email address: drseancollins2@gmail.com

Hi Bockazoid,

This article is way more interesting than scientology or churchmen. What is your opinion? Is he Irish? A friend of yours? C’mon, your massive brain must be a little intrigued by this one.

Who’s that, Jihadists and the people who believe our government have the national interest and the public good at heart? If so I’m not sure which one is more dangerous, though for the moment the Party faithful lack the explosives.

I think the real subject of interest here is Psychosomatic treatment, or more plainly put, the power of self-delusion. While TFT might, and more than likely is, a crock that doesn’t exclude the possibilty of results if you BELIEVE it works. The placebo effect as it were.
I find the link between belief (and that’s any belief, such as “our government have the national interest and the public good at heart”) and the very real and tangible effects of that belief in the real world to be facisinating. For example, the belief that blowing oneself up in the name of Allah will result in a place in paradise and x amount of virgins to boot is rather less credible than TFT and yet when some one does this at an Israeli checkpoint or an American embassey it has very real consequences for all involved.
