    Save you're money. Crystal healing is poppycock pseudoscience and has been proven over and over again to be nothing more than a delusion.

    The way i see it, if a crystal has a placebo effect on someone, giving them a positive outlook on a situation then whats the harm..

    The harm is when people start to use them instead of proven medicine to treat an illness especially something serious like cancer.
    I am all for "go with what works for you" but dont be deluded and dont pay money to quacks. Be rational and see through pseudo science.

    Yeah that's a bit dodgy alright. For small non life threathening conditions they are grand and if they set someones mind at rest then that's brilliant.
    Me mother used to be giving me this colour stone and that colour stone for x and y. I used to be walking around with me hand in my pocket playing with the stones. Don't have them anymore so just walk around with my hand in my pocket playing with my stones haha.

    Oh yea, by all means if you have a serious medical condition you need the appropriate care and expertise, but for non life threatening things like anxiousness and such i have known people to relax when then they have charm type object they can find comfort with... I suppose it would be similar enough to a child with a security blanket? the blanket will not fend off bad things, but the child feels safe with it regardless..

    I still have me blanky :) it rocks.

    Anxiousness was why me gave me the stones.
    Different colours for different things. Some of them do be cool looking.

    The GF says that there's a shop in Wexford, Anne's Angels that sells a selection of them, if you fancy the trip? On the Main Street in Wexford Town.

    Depends how much they are selling the crystals for. Are people been taken advantage of?

    I'm all for placebos. If any foxy chicks want to pay me €100 to lay my hands over them to make them feel better I'll do it (if I'm not arrested first).
