Occult Practices in Medicine
One doctor's point of view 

In doing research for Th Occult Invasion of Health Care, I have had the opportunity to meet professional people online who have contributed their ideas to my book. Some of these people are medical professionals as well as avid practitioners of the occult. They may not recognize itat first, but it doesn't take very long to get past the thin veneer of medicine to discover the heart of their interest.
One medical professional I met online is a doctor who is a specialist in cardiology. He contributed a wonderful quotation to my book. Nevertheless, his quote attempted to attribute the spiritual elements associated with touch therapies to a reductionistic, mechanical process. His entire theory was based on an electro-magnetic understanding of how touch therapies work.
I thought it was very interesting that this cardiologist was able to create such a dichotomy between the spiritual and scientific parts of touch therapy. However, several weeks later, he emailed me again after I questioned him about this separation. Surprisingly, in  his second email, he did an about face. He final confessed the spirituality behind his theory and the strange occult connection he practiced. 
For more information on this conversation, read the book. I will let you know when copies become available for purchase. Please send me your email.
