Hi,
I have been following this thread for a while, because I am a patient of CHs.
CH has helped me greatly, which is an understatement - when I originally went to see him I was very ill. This is why I am in still in a state of shock and feeling very mixed up about all of this. I am a very rationale, cautious person with regards this sort of thing so want to investigate. I can see the potential damage on both sides - on one hand patients, and on the other CH and his students (if this is all untrue).
It doesn't really concern me too much about verification of his training down to every detail. What matters are results in this respect. Many shaman across the world have learnt from oral traditions and will certainly seem 'unqualified' by Western standards although still posess healing capabilities. One could look to books by Carlos Castenada regarding his training with Don Juan - some of that has been bought into question. Anyway, I guess there are two things for me of concern:
1. Is his ongoing treatment doing me harm?; and
2. His abuse of patients.
I really want to get in touch with his students mainly, or anyone else close to him, to chat in confidentiality. I am not concerned so much for myself, but I have recommended him to many friends, some girls, and would like to investigate some of these very serious allegations on here.
Thanks. I am not sure how this works as I have only just actually joined the forum as a member, so somehow please guide me with regards talking to some of you all in private.
Thanks.
