    I had acupuncture and electro-acupuncture. It hurt like a bitch, cost a lot and helped me for a week. NOT WORTH IT.

    Actually urine is sterile as it leaves the body. That said, I’d still never drink it.

    the mind over matter concepot can be very very true. if this is truely what goes on in that practice, dont ruin it for those who believe in it. though i do thank you for acknowledging the mind/body connection.

    Psychic Surgery is a hoax. Usually the healer does a slight of hand thing to produce animal blood and a chicken liver or some other small animal part. The healing that takes place happens because the patient believes what he sees is true.

    Although the treatment is a lie, the mind/body connection can be very powerful and can sometimes produce miraculous results.

    If any of these practices were safe or effective treatments, modern science and medicine would back them up. Unfortunately these practices like homeopathy and faith healing provide little benefit beyond a placebo effect.

    The best anti-aging product I’ve ever seen is actually Alex Chiu’s Magnetic
    Discovery. The other people are just nonsense.

  17. brand0nmustdie on January 31st, 2010 12:16 pm

    Andy Kauffman didn’t die BECAUSE of psychic surgery, he died in SPITE of it. How would it have actually killed him if it doesn’t do anything anyway?
    and BTW do you make all of your opinions based on what celebrities think?

  18. Krazyjesus on January 31st, 2010 12:20 pm

    PSYCHIC SURGERY IS A FRAUD!!!!! ACTOR ANDY KAUFFMAN FROM THE TV SHOW TAXI DIED FROM IT AND THE MAGICIAN CRISS ANGEL DISPISES (sp?) OF IT!!!!! IT IS HORRIBLE!!! DON”T DO IT!!!! By the way, isn’t urine a toxin like feces?

    It was actually painted by my grandmother… it’s a narrow foreign street. Hmm… I never really thought about it in terms of energy. The one we have in the living room is massive and more colorful. I’ll show it in a video one day!

    Urine Therapy felt nice when I practiced it. I became in love of the precious nutrient rich hexagonal structured water of life that my body produced. Also it is good to have done this to prepare for times where water is scarce. Urine is the cleanest thing that comes from you. It is just purified blood with the nutrients the body had an excess of, that when reintroduced get a chance to get absorbed an utilized. Think of how you save money and your body.

    This has nothing to do with your video content but what does the picture or painting in the background of your video represent to you? I’ve just started to watch your videos and that picture in the background (in my opinion) doesn’t seem to match your personality (uplifting, energetic) so I was curious how you view it. Thanks :) PS–I love your shows! You’re great!

    Hi Kevin,
    What are these people thinking? And who made this stuff up? Maybe someone was sitting by the pool and flash came to them as they pondered life. “How can I make money? I know I’ll read Rumps! Yeah, I’ll be rich.”

  24. 1urbandevil on January 31st, 2010 3:21 pm
