    My brother has this since he was born. Spent lots on specialists but in the end tried evening primrose oil and that did the trick. He swears by it.
    Regards.

    He wrongly 'diganoised' a cousin of mine two months ago, with '4 blocked glands' and more a while back, cousin ended up in hospital on morphine with severe ear infections the following day, if you need to see a doctor, see a doctor.
    Childhood exzema is characterised by the fact that you can wake up one week and the exzema will be getting better, or going, too many people attribute this known characterisation with going to faith healers three months before. :rolleyes:

    Although fools and their money....oh sorry, cough... cough donation.

    Jimmy conroy is retired, he will not under any circumstances be taking any new patients. He may in extreme circumstances see a baby if they are very ill.
    He is a fantastic man and is not a faith healer. He was born with gift and is able clear blockages in peoples bodies that causes ilnesses. A number of years ago beaumont hospital sent people down to him. Believe you me it is very painful experience to visit him, he has powerful hands and clears the blockage through manipulation. You experience extreme tiredness and in some cases can be quite emotional but after a few days you fell fantastic, tiredness can go, have more energy etc.
    I have seen babies who have had ezema being cured after a few visits and he has so much knowledge for pregnany women.
    Its such a loss that he is retired because he helped so many people and he did not exploit his gift. People paid him by donation.
    He still sees some of his old clients but will not take new clients.
    May he enjoy his retirement, he deserves it.

    p.s
    A doctor charges 50 euros for a visit and then a perscription, Jimmy takes no more than 10 euros to see a child and its entirely up to an adult how much you want to pay him.
    He knew the sex of my friends baby and cured her of morning sickness, it was gone the next day and after 3 visits cured my friends baby of ezema, this was a baby who spent every other week at the doctor getting dangerous steroid creams, and whose face and legs bled from scratching the ezema.

    I hope to GOD that the parent takes the child to a hospital in that circumstance, not to a bloody madman out in the middle of a bog somewhere. These kind of things are well and good if you really believe them, but at the risk of the child? At best its neglect, at worst its assault.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 sunny10


    Your ignorance is hilarious. He treats babies with colic or very bad ezema etc. whose parents have brought them to countless doctors for treatment but nothing worked. A mother brought her child to Jimmy for reflux, the poor child couldn't hold down her food and didn't sllep more then 1 hour a night. I would class that as very ill, if a child can't sleep or eat anything. Doctors hav no cure for colic or refulx in babies. Anyway one visit with Jimmy and the baby slept soundly and the reflux was gone.
    p.s
    Ezema is caused by the mothers diet when she is pregnant, plain foods people!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 hafol


    I brought my baby when he was 5 weeks old to Jimmy, he had collic and was very back every morning at 7am he woke screaming and this went on until 11pm every night from the time he was two weeks old. I made an appointment with Jimmy and he cured the baby immediately and he slept for the first time for 3 hours that day without wakening oh was i ever delighted. I never had a problem with my child since he started sleeping during day and there was no more screaming........ brilliant or what:)

    Some of you might also be interested in trying these techniques for yourselves (while also attending to a doctor's advice also, of course).

    EFT (emotional freedom technique) has a lot going for it. Don't knock it til you've tried it. http://www.in2it.ca/TapTroublesAway.pdf

    also worth noting the visualisation exercises of Dr Jerry Epstein (http://www.drjerryepstein.org/) who stands on the shoulders of open-minded giants such as Dr Kenneth Pelletier, although this work is less user-friendly but an excellent medical reference to combat the disease of the sceptic.

    lol, you dont believe thats true do you? Sorry but thats something a granny would come out with.

    here:

    In 2006, scientists from the University of Dundee, with collaborators in Dublin, Glasgow, Seattle and Copenhagen, discovered the gene that causes dry, scaly skin and predisposes individuals to eczema.

    In 2009 a study carried out by scientists at the University of Edinburgh concluded that the defects in a particular gene known as the filaggrin gene are linked to a considerably amplified risk of developing allergic disorders such as eczema, rhinitis, and asthma.

    The oily (lipid) barrier of skin is usually reduced in people with atopic eczema, compared to other people. The lipid barrier helps prevent water loss. If your barrier is reduced you will lose water faster and your skin will be drier. Several studies have been confirming this, including this one.

    The immune system cells of people with atopic eczema release chemicals under the skin's surface which may cause inflammation. Experts are not 100% sure why this happens. They just know that it is an immune system overreaction.

    Even though scientists are fairly sure genetics are the primary cause, they do not yet know what the exact genetic cause is. The above-mentioned studies are giving us a better idea - but a great deal of further research is needed. 60% of children with atopic eczema have one parent with the same condition. Studies have shown that children run an 80% risk of developing eczema if both their parents have the condition.

    Recent studies are starting to reveal a picture of early life lifestyle habits that may reduce the risk of developing eczema later on, either during early childhood or later on in life. An infant diet that includes fish before the age of 9 months curbs the risk of developing eczema, a Swedish study reported.

    Ask yourselves this.

    You are on holiday in Swaziland in Africa on Safari. Your kid gets sick. Do you bring him to the Witchdoctor or the nearest red cross hospital?

    Witchdoctor = Faith Healer

    If you believe in one you have to believe in the other. Bet you don't though :rolleyes:

    The results of the present study indicate that EFT was effective in decreasing fear in a nonclinical population. However, EFT was no more effective than either a placebo or modeling control procedure.

    Its amazing how fascist some people truly are, when you strip back their motivations.

    This thread was started by someone seeking info on a particular faith healer. It is clearly a thread that was being populated by people interested in such matters for personal hep; perhaps when conventional medicine had failed to get a resolution.

    Your sneering attitudes serve no one. Do you really believe you are more intelligent than those of us who explore these areas. Your attitude is typical of the narrow sceptic, unlike the true sceptic who explores and weighs up info, seeking causes for effects (s)he sees but does not understand the origin of. Or seeing positive correlations but not seeing definite cause and effect typically required of empirical science.

    But your tone, basically attacking and fascistly attempting to commandeer other's free thinking, where you were not requested to in the tone of the OP's enquiry, serves to paint you as boors, ignorant people and completely against the purpose for which Boards.ie was set up. This thread is (was) populated by those clearly interested in faith healing. Not in a pissing match. Your lack of decency speaks volumes about your own personal mental and spiritual health.

    More intelligent? Of course not. More aware of the level of bull out there being peddled as 'alternative' medicine by people who are either deluded or willfully trying to con you? Certainly.

    Weighing up info? You mean by doing things like quoting professionally and correctly run clinical trials rather than relying on hearsay, wishful thinking and downright dishonesty?

    I find it amusing that you try and hold up good science as a banner to wave around with one hand while defending 'faith' healers and alternative medicine with the other.

    I'm glad I cheered you up and you find things amusing in the current climate. Good stuff.

    But the charge of harassing a group of posters who are content among themselves to discuss relative merits of faith healing still stands. Who appointed any of you as guardians of 'the knowledge'? Couldn't we evaluate many of your presumable misconceptions vis-a-vis property investment, car purchasing, relationships etc etc. One man's 'science' is another man's folly. It should be clear to all by now that clinical trials are pulled out of the bag regularly to support opposite sides of arguments. At any rate, I believe the tone of a thread set by an OP is paramount. Do you detractors? Or do you believe you can steer thought and set the tone of debates where NO DEBATE was asked for....... Start a new thread and point us to it, if so. Anything else is purely bad manners, a form of thuggery, wrapped up in self-satisfied arrogance. It doesn't hurt to be playful with 'knowledge' and see what happens. My only advice to you, apart from following the OP's tone, is to be a true sceptic, use that questioning mind to test and question for yourself. Don't believe what a 'clinical trial' told you just because it fits with your original perceptions. That's a road to nowhere knowledge-wise.

    If you want a private discussion, take it to PM, e-mail or a private forum. This is a public discussion forum, we have as much right to weigh in on things as you do.

    OK, find me a properly run, correctly blinded (and accounting for the placebo effect) clinical trial that was published in a reputable peer reviewed scientific journal that finds any merit (beyond placebo) for EFT or faith healing?

    Once again, it's a public forum. If you want a private conversation pick up a phone. As entitled as you are to peddle this nonsense as a valid, realistic treatment for something, we are just as entitled to debunk it.

    Haa haa, you have got to be kidding me? OK, I'll abandon having weight for arguments raised by people who actually go out there and correctly asses the benefits of treatments by conducting properly run trials on groups of people. Instead I will trust in hearsay and nonsense. I am a changed man because of it. Thank you, I'll be back on later, I have to find some unicorn dust to sprinkle on my bunions.

    You're welcome, grasshopper. Your teen righteousness is a little tiring but.....You should also read http://www.amazon.com/Anger-Cooling-Thich-Nhat-Hanh/dp/1573229377 if you can manage to. It will help with a lot of your fear-based issues. Learn to love yourself a little more oeb and you won't want to try and debunk others so much. I know you will evolve eventually and I wish you luck with that...
