If you haven’t already been following it, Radar has an excellent series of articles going on about Madonna’s Kabbalah Centre: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. Today’s installment features this astonishingly ridiculous claim by Philip Berg:
“If the damn FDA would just let me put that the water cures cancer on the label, I wouldn’t need marketing,†he told one source. (Berg told another student Radar interviewed that Kabbalah Water had cured AIDS. A third was present at a shabbat lecture in New York during which a scientist from the Miami Centre told the congregation that drinking it had cured the case of SARS she had contracted during her recent travels in Asia.)
The Kabbalah Centre also allegedly runs the website Oroz.org which “boasts that its ‘23rd century’ products do everything from enabling ‘better drug penetration’ to eliminating radioactive waste.” Well no wonder their stupid water cures cancer! Duh!

lol, i saw this on like 20/20 or something the other day….
Kabbalah water probably CAN cure anything, but not above or beyond any other water.
there are ways to drink water properly to acheive results, and really its all in your mind, sorta.

human?
Well, perhaps Kabbalah water can cure cancer. But I’d still feel safer if the FDA first evaluated it in a Phase III trial. This, even knowing how corrupt the FDA is (and also dating a cancer patient).
the fda and it`s trial game is another cult.there are cases of cancer going into remission on thier own and doctors call it a miracle.to some,what i do as a(N)hypnotherapist is witchdoctoring or miraculous or just the way it is.the strength of belief is powerful medicine,unless you are selling drugs or you are protecting a marketplace like the fda.then what i do will be outlawed soon.
welcome to the new inquisition.
alistair: I’m with you on the sensitive issue of what should and should not be legal. My basic feeling is that most things should be legal (short of substances or processes that can put a person in imminent danger). But there should also be an indepenent arbiter that can certify things as being “effective” and “safe” (in the long term). We all know that many alternative therapies can work their magick if given enough time, and we also know that it is difficult to certiify these techniques formally because the processes at work are somewhat subjective and do not admit themselves to scientific study. But, even with these problems, it’s important to have an (ideally) impartial group able to evaluate claims made.
I’ll say this: while I entrust my boyfriend’s recovery, post-chemo, post-radiation, to meditation, alternative therapies, and some magick, it would be difficult not to go the Western route up front. I doubt he’d be alive today if we hadn’t done chemo and radiation. There’s a time and place for every particular therapy, even those that are as toxic as the standard chemotherapies. While I lean towards a gentle and holistic approach for prevention and maintenance, I don’t recommend it when you’re staring death in the face.
Funny, I was just going to send you that “Oroz” link.
yes,don`t come to me with a broken leg.don`t ask me to perform surgeries.i see my role as more like that of the shaman.i help people negotiate for thier own way of healing.and myself in the process.
i saw a religious show today where the minister was selling magic healing water.it was basically an infomercial to sell water given special powers by this lizard in a suit.i forget the guys name but he`s on the A team of evangelists,along with benny hinn and garner ted armstrong.it takes balls,in my mind,to keep a straight face pitching a product like that,waving your hands over the bottle and yelling scripture.
peter popoff is the evangelists name………creepy fucker.
wow, i’ll look into that. thanks!
