		<description>Jealous? You shouldn&#039;t be. It seems you are considered a crank. That&#039;s a nice title too, is it not?</description>

		<description>Seems like there is a hole in the system. Tried some anti-vaccine sites, www.safeminds.org and ageofautism.com, and the passed. No red flags or canards for Andrew Wakefield either.

		<description>I absolutly AGREE with what you are saying. I recently seen a homeopath Elaine Cairney in whom I was recommended and her treatment didn&#039;t do a thing. It was a waste of money and time on my part and I ended up at the GP&#039;s at a later date to get a treatment that actually worked. She claimed that the treatment worked on the root of the problem and cured the whole body through energy. I am no scientist, but to me that is very far fetched. I believe that she is scamming the naive public out of money for nothing but placebo medication but believes in it herself. A problem arrising is that her website claims to be a professional doctor of homeothapy but when you look at the qualifications, they are nothing more than a college diploma, if that. I feel that such people like Elaine Cairney should not be able to scam the public and call themselves doctors when truthfully they don&#039;t have a clue what they are doing or what they are selling. It is all bullshit and she was also very rude. When I typed her name into google, this is the 1st page that appeared along with 10 quackometres. Im not the only one of this opinion.</description>

		<description>So how about the quack words &quot;mind-body connection&quot;, &quot;stress-related symptoms&quot;, Such is the garbage that flows through a website owned by Lynne Boutross, &quot;a spiritual teacher and advisor born with the gift of clairvoyance&quot;  which she will gladly share with you at the rate of $200 per hour.  Cash and checks only please.  No insurance or credit cards.  Not licensed professionally anywhere...she has been plying the internet wave for quite sometime now ever since she received her &quot;masters&quot; and &quot;doctorate&quot; in metaphysics from the American Institute of Holistic Therapy in 1998.  Total time spent in earning these illustrious degrees was one year.  Investigated by the State of Washington in 2009 for providing services which, under Washington law required a state license.  No problem...let&#039;s close up shop and move back to California where she has bombarded the internet with marketing trash designed to lure you in with promises of clarity and crystal clear guidance......careful folks, I&#039;d watch my wallet if I were you</description>
