It is very enlightening. Yes pun intended.

The 'so-called' organisations / persons involved have ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERN FOR THE WELLBEING IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM OF THE vulnerable young ILL people they are TAKING ADVANTAGE OF and have ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTANDING OF MS ITSELF. These people have absolutely NO HEART OR SOUL quite simply they prey on vulnerable young people who have an incurrable illness taking advantage of the fact that they are holding out for that glimmer of hope that there is something out there that can help them...... they draw them in with their kindness and concern and then go for the kill, and it's all in the name of Aiping Wang !! SO, PLEASE STEER CLEAR. UNFORTUNATELY, I can confirm THROUGH FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE that the Life’s 4 Living MS Health Rejuvenation Programme is a COMPLETE and UTTER SCAM.

I’ve often wondered myself why psychics, healers and alternative practitioners etc are not simply hauled off to court and then the prisons. My thoughts are…

a/ the prosecutors believe in similar kinds of woowoo

b/ the prosecutors are worried about infringing someone’s rights to beleive in what they want

c/ woowoo is so endemic in our society it’s considered normal and isn’t seen as a threat

d/ prosecutors who don’t believe in woowoo simply can’t believe anyone else can take it seriously

e/ it’s a subject, like religion, that is given too much respect and gravitas so it isn’t questioned

f/ prosecutors just don’t understand the harm it does.
