The partners in crime practitioners of the so called "shamanic healing," "deep emotional release bodywork & "integrated quantum theta healing" have co-opted some of the language of physics, including the language of quantum mechanics, in their quest to make metaphysical quackery sound like respectable science.
How is it possible to get relief from swelling, pain, nausea, headaches, anxiety, and an assortment of other ailments without the use of medicine or surgery?
It is not.
However, various hucksters attempt to utilize the terms of quantum mechanics & physics in order to attempt to separate you from your hard earned money.
We at WiKiLeax are involved in an expose of the so called "shamanic healers," and "quantum theta energy healers" who are perpetrating such a fraud.
So called "energy healers" have been adept at the art of separating you from your hard earned money for centuries.
These new age hucksters who call themselves "shamanic healers," (SH or Shhhh...as in quiet, don't tell anybody it bunk) or "Quantum Theta Energy Healers" (QTEH or Kew-Tee)) have refined this preposterous method so they can now access our wallets In so called "telephone session."
The amazing thing about this is that the "shamanic healer" need not even touch the patient.
In fact, the healer need not even be in the presence of the patient.
"Integrated Quantum Theta Energy Healing" (last months name for this Tom Foolery) or "shamanic healing" (this months name) is so powerful, according to "the practitioner," a Mr. James Hyman that Mr. Hyman need not even be in the presence of the "subject" or "patient" he is treating.
Unbeknownst to him, Mr. Hyman was asked to first conduct one of his "shamanic healing" phone sessions (technically, he was still calling it "quantum theta energy healing" phone sessions when this occurred, this past December and January) with our writer, a perfectly healthy pescetarian 53 year old male.
This was in order to facilitate the "deep emotional healing" of what was purported to be a deeply troubled man.
Mr. Hyman conducted 2 "shamanic telephone sessions" or "quantum theta" phone sessions with the subject between his home in CA and the mans in FL at a cost of over $1,500.00.
After the two telephone sessions, Mr. Hyman came to the conclusion that the subject was indeed markedly and painfully rooted with "deep emotionally contained quantum theta negative energy" which was affecting both his physical and mental well being.
After collecting his fee for his diagnosis and telephone sessions, & armed with the mans credit card information for the purposes of charging should the subject not be willing to pay, Mr. Hyman compassionately offered to travel to FL for a series of in person "quantum theta energy healing" sessions with the man over a four day period for a minimum guaranteed fee of an additional $3,500.00.
We shall describe what occurred in FL at these "in person quantum theta energy healing" sessions next.
In Person "Quantum Theta Energy Healing" (QTEH or Kew-Tee) Sessions;
In actuality the subject, our writer, armed with financing from WiKiLeax was in reality a healthy, 53 year old pescetarian male. He recently had a full yearly physical conducted by a board certified MD in Internal Medicine.
He was MD verified to be drug free, 5'9" tall and weighing 135 pounds.
With a thrice weekly MD verified pulse rate of between 66-72, as well as a blood pressure of between 110/66 and 120/70.
His blood sugar was measured two hours after eating on three different occasions as averaging 5.5mmol/L.
In other words an extremely healthy 53 year old male with the heart rate, blood pressure and blood sugar levels of someone at a minimum 10-15 years his junior.
This most likely due to his healthy lifestyle choices of a pescetarian diet as well as regular exercise.
The exercise consists of speed walking or running approximately 5K (about 3.1 miles) daily.
Upon arrival Mr. Hyman proceeded with 2 "in person quantum theta energy healing" sessions.
During these in person "quantum theta energy healing" sessions Mr. Hyman simply waved his hands over the patient and “felt” the "quantum theta energy" moving.
Great stuff but what’s really going on?
Nothing according to our writer other than another crystal crowd huckster reaching into our collective wallets!
During his in person "sessions" with our writer, an impostor on his massage table, Mr. Hyman seemed to be so troubled by the gentleman's negative "quantum theta energy fields" that the practitioner (Mr. Hyman) can be heard “chanting” some heretofore unknown “mantras.”
This our subject could only conclude was Mr. Hyman's attempts to ward off our writers "deep emotional negative quantum theta energy" mojo that Mr. Hyman had now removed from the “patients” body.
The need for chanting is apparently a method of stopping said mojo from entering Mr. Hyman's own “quantum theta” energy fields.
Thankfully, our writer was healthy & Mr. Hyman appeared to leave our subject unscathed, except for our writers wallet, which was considerably lighter.
Although Mr. Hyman claims to be the "founder" of this "practice" this is in fact a variation of both WooJangJu Power Meditation or WooJangJu Power Chant Healing Meditation.
It's purported design is to protect meditators, while they are healing, from vengeful spirits.
Another age old hucksters quackery Mr. Hyman "borrows" from is known as Wu Ming Qigong
(Wu Ming Qigong system, Taoist Wu Ming Qigong): This is a millennia old "self-healing practice" taught by the American Taoist Healing Center, Inc., in New York City.
It allegedly helps users connect body, mind, and spirit.
Its theory posits a transfer, from teacher to student, of "energy" that heals and guides the student.
Proponents use the Chinese expression "wu ming," which literally means "no name," to refer to the "original natural force" from which everything's "essence" flows.
Apparently Mr. Hyman has renamed this "force" "quantum theta energy" for his own nefarious gain.
Next we shall reveal where Mr. Hyman the so called "founder" of this process has "borrowed" these terms.
Other Quack "Scams" Hyman Has “Borrowed” From
4) Lesser Kan: Form of meditation whose theory posits chi, "core energy channels," "higher energy bodies."
5) Life force balancing: Combination of the laying on of hands, psychic healing, psychological "adjustments," and spiritual counseling, developed by Barbara West.
It involves a "healing science" called "intercellular regeneration."
6) Life Care Kinesiology (Life Care): Offshoot of applied kinesiology put together by Dr. Richard Beale. It borrows from acupuncture and Touch for Health and includes "chakra meditation."
7) Life Impressions Bodywork: "Healing process" developed by Donald Van Howten (Ravi Dos). It includes "cranial membrane treatment" (probably Cranio-Sacral work) and "pulse work" and borrows from Ayurveda and Hakomi. Its premises include the following. (a) Humans are spirits. (b) Bodily tissues accumulate "history." (c) This "imprint" of experiences becomes "outdated." Updating "idea imprinted" tissues (the method's purported intention) releases "bound beliefs" and "energy."
8) Light Touch Energy Healing: Method that purportedly focuses on: balancing bodily "energy," releasing "cellular memory," and identifying "energy patterns" that limit happiness.
9) LooyenWork®: Approach to "body therapy" that involves "body reading" and "movement re-education" and allegedly can increase the "flow" of clients' "energy." "Body reading" purportedly is a sophisticated form of observation that enables practitioners to reach the root of the client's problem.
Research
The most comprehensive review of “quantum theta energy healing” has been done right here!
I have spent over three hours on the telephone with Mr. Hyman and allowed him access to me at a townhouse rented for this investigation for four days.
I have concluded that the evidence is insufficient to suggest “quantum theta” energy healing & “deep emotional release body work are an ineffective treatment for any condition.
I further state that “quantum theta energy healing" & "deep emotional release body work" lacks scientific credibility!
The scientific and medical communities have not accepted them as an effective therapy.
Plausible scientific explanation as to how it could possibly be efficacious is not to be found.
The explanation of the efficacy of “quantum theta” energy healing or “deep emotional release” depends entirely on a particular view of the world as permeated by this "universal life energy" (“quantum theta” energy) that is subject to manipulation of human thought and will, by Mr. Hyman.
Mr. Hyman the self professed “founder”, “inventor”, “discoverer” & “practitioner claims that his training allows him to channel the "quantum theta energy" that is present in all living beings.
The most obvious first question is what training?
From what University did you receive such training?
In what field is your advanced training?
What degree have you been presented, bestowed or awarded?
The answer to all of the above is nothing.
Nada.
Bupkus.
A big fat Zilch!
This "quantum theta energy," is unknown to natural science.
As the presence of such energy has not been observed by means of natural science, the justification for these therapies necessarily must come from something other than science.
Next we shall discuss Mr. Hyman's highest priced pseudo-scientific scam; his "Quantum Theta Deep Emotional Body Work" (QTDEBW) Practitioner Training!
Practitioner Training
No special background or credentials are needed to receive “quantum theta energy healing” (QTEH) or “deep emotional release” (DER) training.
To become a practitioner, one must receive an "initiation" or "attunement" from Mr. Hyman himself.
Mr. Hyman quotes the costs of this beginning at $500.00 for a single 8 hour session.
Of course, as is the hucksters’ normal philosophy you cannot "learn" Mr. Hyman's technique in one session.
Since he purports to be the founder of course only he can teach it.
This will require numerous sessions & will cost frankly whatever Mr. Hyman can fleece from his unsuspecting "student."
Mr. Hyman will certainly accept your $500.00 for a one day 8 hour training session.
He will then attempt to convince you that to be a "practitioner" you will purportedly require further training.
Ultimately when he determines he has dispossessed you from all the funds possible in this "training session" you are now allowed to practice at the lower levels.
Typically this takes 1 or 2 days and begins with the previously mentioned attunement.
Many practitioners are massage therapists.
However, no licensing or professional standards exist for the practice of “Quantum Theta Energy Healing” itself.
Like wise for “Deep Emotional Release Bodywork.”
Whether QTEH or DERB can be considered the unlicensed practice of medicine varies from state to state.
Of course to practice at the higher levels, Mr. Hyman will require further payment in order to complete your "training."
At the higher levels, one can allegedly channel “quantum theta energy” and effect healings at a distance, without physical contact.
This would fall in line with Mr. Hyman's aforementioned "quantum theta telephone energy healing."
In other words once properly trained by "the master" you too can fleece peoples hard earned money without ever going near them.
Simply become a vendor authorized to accept credit card charges with access to your victim’s credit card number & you too can cash in over the phone!
This is the why we here at WiKiLeax as well as those at QuacKWatch.org & Skepdoc.com strive to educate the public.
We know you work hard for your money.
We don't want to see you give it away unknowingly without a more detailed explanation of the scam than you will ever get from the scammer himself.
Quackwatch.org, RationalWiKi, WiKiLeax, Skepdoc.com & DebunktionJunction shall take the responsibility of educating the few, unsuspecting & trusting members of the public to these scams on our web sites as well as on other public forums.
Our Conclusion
In the mid-1990s, at ages 9 and 10, Emily Rosa demonstrated that 21 therapeutic touch (TT) practitioners could not detect her alleged "energy field."
During the tests, the practitioners rested their arms on a flat surface, about a foot apart.
Emily then hovered her hand, palm down, a few inches above one of the subject's palms.
A cardboard screen prevented the subjects from seeing which of their hands was selected.
The practitioners correctly located Emily's hand only 122 (44%) out of 280 trials, which is no better than would be expected by guessing. After the Journal of the American Medical Association published the results, TT leaders called the study a "parlor game," but they refused to suggest an alternative experimental design or to undergo similar tests themselves.
It might be interesting to investigate whether Mr. Hyman or any other alleged practitioner of “Quantum Theta Energy Healing, or "Shamanic Healing," can actually sense or transmit "energy," whether "shamanic healing," “quantum theta energy healing” or “deep emotional release bodywork or "attunements" actually enhance anything, and whether feelings of warmth are accompanied by any measurable change of skin temperature.
But I doubt that the "shamanic healer," “quantum theta energy healer” or “deep emotional release attunement" practitioner Mr. Hyman would be any more eager than the TT community to have its fundamental concepts tested.
Note, we call it SH, or shhhh, as in, "quiet, we don't want anyone to find out it's a SCAM": SCAM standing for: Supplementary, Complimentary, Alternative, Medicine!
The Bottom Line
"Shamanic healing," “Quantum theta energy healing” or “deep emotional release attunements" have no substantiated health value and lacks a scientifically plausible rationale.
Science-based healthcare settings should not tolerate its use, and scarce government research dollars should not be used to study it.
