The "Healers"
Has anyone ever come across those people who want you to meet a "Healer"? Has anyone ever done it? I had a really good friend contact me today saying his brother is a healer... I am so skeptical and just confused about this friend of mine. I have never known him to be cookey, so now I am baffled. Why would someone believe this? If there were people out there who really healed cancer, they would have every person standing in line. Why do people cling to this kind of hopeless cure? He gave me the website www.truecures.com to look at.
Can you ladies help me deal with the guilt? I am having nothing but irritating thoughts of my friend right now.
