QuoteGita I do not for one instant think that Mr. Fisher or Mr. Whitfield, or Mr. Wilkes are bad people or practitioners for that matter. I believe they have been duped as the rest of us were once duped. Again, it is not because they are bad, it is because he is that good. Hello all again from HDM I enjoyed Gita's no-holds barred letter. But if Mr Fisher knows all about CH's

Hello all, I also would like to point out that these therapists trained in ACT work in their own practises all over the world. Ie, there is not just one practising office where there is supervision. I saw PhD's in that list and people with actual certifications. I wonder how they would feel knowing that the consortium they were trained by/franchised to, whatever, had accepted an untra

Gita should we all write the ACT hiring board and ask them if they have rocks in their head? Challenge them, human to human and say why do you endanger more innocent patients? This is not the raving of one person who could have a vendetta. I personally know of several of the stories and can vouch for their veracity. And now we have an actual person we can address with an actual email. It is

I checked the site of Best Alternative Practitioners in London that Jeff gave us the link for and CH is still listed at the old King's Rd site. I wrote the fellow who maintains or built the site to his address and it bounced. The john.trueman@virgin etc email 'does not exist, says my Yahoo. Is the whole website up in fossil format? Does it exist unmanned and unloved in perpetuity?

Certainly there are untruths about his parents. He told me they were simple uneducated people. But he did say he had a grandfather who was a diplomat and had a special Canadian passport but then the family moved to NZ. Why does he bother lying? it's all so unnecessary. I hope anyone who still thinks this man is on the up and up will read all these lies and inconsistencies, and see a

Well, there have been some great observations recently. But we're shy on ideas to move forward. let's get this puppy rolling again. Would a Londoner please contact an expose type of news group with this story? Someone already had a suggestion of an evening news person that might take it on for a human interest story for TV.

Dear Lily, please go back and check the bottom of page 29 where I wrote how a medical board CAN and WILL sue someone who misleads the public by pretending to be a doctor. It may be true of other boards too like an acupuncture board, if they have legislation that gives them self-policing abilities. Their efforts are not only directed to their own members but to pretenders as well. I t

Christopher Hansard was several times heard to tell several course participants point blank that they needed a divorce and that they knew it. usually there were nods in response. He chastized one person for still being married and therefore unresolved about a dilemma saying something like "if you had done it when I told you, it (personal grief and confusion) would be sorted now'.

I saw patients harmed by ridiculous dietary advice which gave gallbladder attacks and patients told to wean off medications. I saw my onw pancreas very upset by frequent massage with sesame oil until nearly a litre had been absorbed through my skin and I gained seven pounds and got a very unhappy pancreas and a recurrence of my old hypoglycemia. I saw several divorces "prescribed" .

Dear Cranial and Othrs, Medical Boards are there to protect the public from bad doctors and alos posers who harm the public by holding out to be doctors or who do acts which are licesned. Some acts are only allowed to be done by a doctor, no matter if you call it a Rastafarian technique and hope to hide it that way. Medical diagnosis and removing medications are things only doctors can do u
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Dear Group, Usually a medical board can sue a person for acting or purporting to act as a medical doctor, for doing exclusive acts such as diagnosing medical conditions. Because Christopher Hansard did "diagnose" quite blatantly and actually take people off their medications (!! that takes stones!!), this would most likely be obvious enough for an action against him from the medical

Christopher apparently is claiming that rents escalated in his office, hence the downsizing. He told me that the premises was willed to him by an elderly man he had helped to pass over peacefully and that it was worth a lot of money, being in Chelsea. He has done enormous renovations, including a waterfall that trickles down the side of the front entrance stairs for a full storey of height. Bu

To Flying11 You got good results from acupuncture, so carry on with a proper acupuncurist. You don't have to go back to pure allopathic Western stuff. Best of luck with your process. I think CH is able to read what a body needs and you probably got a reasonable treatment, but I agree, don't go back to him. The word from Lily, the ex-apprentice is telling. I witnessed Ch verbal

Dear Moderator and Group, Where is the private reply link? I'm afraid I don't understand how to do this. Is it realistic to think that something can be made public that will alert those who need to be alerted?

Hello Gondolf, Many things added up for me. As people overcame their embarassment or as diagnoses came out from MRI's and proper doctors, and as stories got put together, the picture became worse. I'm quite fine with psychics and energy manipulations but dislike teasing and cruelty and deliberate embarassing of nice sincere people. I dislike overcharging for herbs that readily ava

Yes Christopher Hansard is a fraud. I met him and had several courses with him. He is a powerful energy manipulator but does not navigate well that fine line between light and dark. His appointments are brutally expensive and he can only mirror emotions. This has been helpful for some eople with emotional isues. He has not actually been accurate in any meidcal diagnosis of anyone who later d
