subject: Skeptic thriller

   Because we have recently had an invasion of people from the "Skeptic" echo
here I thought it might be thrilling for them to learn that a nine-year-old
girl has had a scientific paper published in the Journal of the American
Medical Association offering (grin) scientific proof that the "Healing Touch"
treatment of illnesses has no therapeutic value.  For those of you (smile) 
ho
have been firmly committed to the belief in this form of medicine (chuckle)
I'm sorry to disappoint you with this NEW information.  This is not exactly 
n
the realm of philosophy but I feel like the information will be valuable
anyhow.  Naturally, Healing Touch International disputes the scientific
conduct of the experiment.  
   Somehow, it seems to be significant that a nine-year-old should make such 

startling finding.  As for me, (grin) I marvel all of the time how those
evangelists can cure somebody of what ails them just by slapping them on the
forehead!!!  
   BTW, that spaceship has not landed in my back yard YET!!!
Sincerely, 
                                     Frank
