Let's stick to my message. I have acknowledged that
anything, an idea, a can of water labeled as a homeopathic
remedy, a rock from someone's yard, can make the "client"
feel better if that's what the client wants to believe.
That doesn't mean that it is acceptable to sell falsehoods
to desperate people. Massage therapy all by itself is a
truthful service when offered for what it is, touch that
feels good. It doesn't need magical mystical healing energy
illusions to have value.
Sell it for what it is, touch that feels good. Leave the
witchcraft to the island voodoo doctors.
