I did not advocate anyone to think like me.
To advocate a 'clinic' on these forums needs some comment.
I will not resile as these perpetrators of quasi religious claptrap have no place here.
This is an Astronomy Forum.
If people want a 'quack cure' for cancer they can find it some where else.

I agree with you, Bert. There's a lot of very fuzzy thinking going on and there are people who are taking advantage of this. But what you have to do is look at the fundamental causes of this, not shoot people down for their feelings or beliefs on the matter. What's deficient in society that is creating this situation. It's more than educated ignorance, or crackpot belief systems or old superstitions. People invariably turn to a belief, knowledge system or code of conduct when they feel it most suits them or they feel that what's presently on offer doesn't add up itself. Meaning in their lives is one reason, but meaning in itself is not the whole answer. As a society I feel we all need to sit down and really take a good look at ourselves and think/debate about this then take positive steps to sort things out.
