    Has anyone heard anything about Mickel Therapy? Is it a benign scam, a souped up placebo or a dangerous money wasting trick?

    It's standard alternative-medicine stuff: personal testimonials, ads, "body-mind healing", "quantum theory", "energy vibrating", hints of pyramid-schemism and so on. The Mickel Therapy website is here:

    I wouldn't waste my money on it.

    Yes - similar conclusion. Just wondering how crazy it was and if there were any testimonies. David Mickel has a good trick where he says he wants clinical trials but the NHS won't do them. And nor should they be wasting tax payers money on that nonsense.

    One thing that is interesting about him is that he claims he was a practising GP. How any body would a good comprehension of Junior Cert Science could be saying what he is, is beyond me?

    I tried to find out where he studied but it's difficult to get information on it. He must have been one crazy ass GP. Or else some spoofer who did alternative medicine and called himself a GP.
