While looking at [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=627068) thread, I found the site below and felt compelled to start a separate thread just to make fun of the woo. I present: [this site](http://reconnective-healing.com/Index.cfm). My snarky talents just aren’t up to the task of taking this on by myself. > [@](#): > > Reconnective Healing ™ is a healing modality using the light and information exchange of the fifth dimensional circulatory system for the renewal of the human body. > [@](#): > > Hospitals and universities across the country are investing time and money in an attempt to explain them. People report seeing angels and experiencing miraculous healings from many serious afflictions. and, finally: > [@](#): > > My Spiritual teacher has shared that The Recent Tsunami in the Indian Ocean was caused by many factors, one being all of the unresolved emotions in human consciousness. Crystal Gail’s site has already made my day better by making me actually LOL, which might lead me to believe in her methods, but I think Dopers could significantly enhance the experience. If it has to be moved to the Pit, it is probably because my chakras were all fucked up when I posted this. Or maybe my personal transmission won’t shift into the fifth dimension circulatory system, leaving me forever stuck in fourth on the freeway of life.:rolleyes: ---

First sentence of the second paragraph of OP’s link: “Crystal Gail provides healing in a number of different modalities.” Tiny print at the bottom of the left sidebar of same link: “Crystal Gail makes no specific claims, promises, or guarantees. Crystal Gail does not prevent, diagnose, treat, or cure disease.” 😕 So if she doesn’t treat or cure disease, what the fuck does she heal? ---

Modalities, duh! 😃 OK, according to Wikipedia > [@Wikipedia](#): > > Medicine > > -Sensory modality or Stimulus modality, a type of physical phenomenon that one can sense, such as temperature and sound > -In psychotherapy, a method of therapeutic approach > -In medical imaging, any of the various types of equipment or probes used to acquire images of the body, such as radiography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging Clear as mud now? ---
