chrismo Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 We very likely were speaking about different skeptics, haha. Yeah, look into HRV - I've been occasionally dabbling with it and it's an effective way to get into a meditative state since it gives you real time feedback on your emotional/mental state; definitely nothing as potent as doing to a trained neurofeedback practitioner, though. If you don't mind me asking, what 'kind' of philosophy did you study? I'm only working on my associates degree right now (and soon enough, some certifications in various fields), but I've taken philosophy of critical thinking and I'm eager to take "Philosophy of Logic". Those two courses, along with ethics, I believe should be mandatory, haha. The University I went to had a strong emphasis on Continental Philosophy but there were in fact mandatory courses in Logic, Ethics and Ancient Philosophy (quite right, too). Funnily enough I rather enjoyed taking Philosophical Scepticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismo Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hey guys. To be honest I wish I hadn't started this thread. My intentions were good, hoping everyone would get behind miss Jess and support her over her journey. Instead unfortunantly, it's turned into alternative healing/treatment Vs mainstream medicine debate. As I'm sure you can all relate including myself, this condition eats you up and spits you out leaving the individual extremely vulnerable at times. My point being despite if you agree or disagree with this method of treatment please take the debate side of things some place else and keep this space only for Positive and Encouraging comments. Thank you Jimbo baggins I've already stated why I think what I've said needs to be said and why it needs to be said here. The debate has been quite constructive thus far I'd say and I'm sorry but you don't get to own threads and dictate content. None of this, of course, stops encouraging comments from being added.

Jay1 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Chris, if you want to talk about the pros and cons of non traditional medicines, start a topic about it. It's a good topic, but I don't think this is the right place for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismo Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Chris, if you want to talk about the pros and cons of non traditional medicines, start a topic about it. It's pretty simple. Jay, I've stated my reasons for why it should be here and they shouldn't be hard to understand. I believe to not allow the debate to take place here would be irresponsible and I resent the way you have become dictatorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismo Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 and defensive is his middle name..... Good one. Although my response would have been slightly different to Jay's edited post. That's also a strange comment from someone who just wants supportive comments on this thread. It doesn't add to the debate, either. You're just try to goad me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb84 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Goad you, absolutely not my friend. Only want the best for anyone who isn't well. Love to all hppders. Get well soon ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 personally, i find the skeptic v alternative debate quite tedious as i am well aware of the well-rehearsed arguments that you can find anywhere in the internet. I am skimming this thread for any posts by the person who is taking the risk of taking the alternative route. I am interested in that first-hand human story and how it develops (whether positive or negative), not the predictable skepticism-by-numbers snearing from the debunkers. Not that i necessarily disagree with the debunkers, just wish they would give a bit of space for people to experiment with their lives. I have wasted a few quid on alternative stuff, but i dont resent it - i just think trying weird stuff out on short odds adds to human experience and may one day turn up a pleasant surprise. If it doesnt, tough shit, i'm not going to cry about it, and i take those risks with full responsibility. I want to hear more about what happened after seeing john of god. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
