Oh, I knew it was bullshit. And I understand how people can grasp for anything. I might do so as well in a more dire situation.
I sometimes indulge these sorts of quacks (so long as it won't cost me anything or be dangerous) just to see what their schtick is. This guy was doing this "healing work" for free, bless his well-meaning heart, but he was also likely keeping others from seeking real treatment, which is always the real danger.
There's A LOT of that around the hills of NorCal's old hippie enclaves. Combine a somewhat legitimate distrust of large institutions, lack of scientific understanding and critical thinking with a good dose of new age superstition and decades of isolation in the hills and this is what you get.
(A big part of why I mostly don't live here anymore, FFS.)
