Eqyptian Healing Rods?!

There are plenty of suppliers and instructions on Google, I've been reading up on them, but I never encourage anyone to look at alternative remedies like this, crystal power, faith healing psychic surgery etc. because if they work it's only by the placebo effect.

Just like acupuncture, just because it comes from a culture a few thousand years old doesn't make it more credible, the problem with these types of remedies is that they often mask more serious conditions.

Many people have died from things like diabetes, cancer, heart attacks because they have delayed real treatment for the sake of these 'snake oil' remedies.

There is not a shred of evidence that Egyptian healing rods work other than by placebo, James Randi will give anyone who has such evidence a $1,000,000 if they can prove any different under mutually agreed conditions.

EDIT: Good point Michelle, it's similar to one of my favourite questions "Where to the people living in Lourdes go to get better?"

Please don't get sucked into this nonsense.

Just another alt-med scam to relieve you of your cash. Notice how they claim they can cure anything?

These dipsticks like to mention ancient civilization but forget to mention average life span in these times is around 30.

No plausible mechanism of action + no evidence of efficacy = bogus. Tradition + anecdotes do not = evidence. AVOID.

I've never heard of them actually...
