What Herald has advertised in the interview in question is quackery because of the following reasons: 1. The claims made in the interview perfectly satisfy the dictionary definitions of quackery, which is: "A FRAUDULENT claim to medical knowledge; treating the sick without knowledge of medicine or authority to practice medicine." (Taken from Stedman's medical dictionary. Please see: http://www.medilexicon.com/medicaldictionary.php?s=charlatanism) 2. The interview makes the claim that crystal healing is "curative". COMMENT/QUESTION: Whatever one believes or not about 'crystals' (and I know nothing about crystals), Is Santoshbab stating that the term "curative" used by journalist / sub-editor of the Herald in the article amounts to Fraud? I submit that it does not. jc
