Here's what I know. I have a dis-ease that millions of people have; there is no cure. So what's left? Either live with it (it's progressive) or, since the medical professional hasn't come up with a cure - turn to esoteric ideas (for lack of a better word at this moment.) Which, for me, was using the mind and basically positive thinking. When I told my primary physician that that's what I was going to do, he said "And don't stop doing that." (He didn't give me a "look" and it felt like he felt it might help.) Although I'm not "cured" I certainly am a lot better then where I was. It's an ongoing process that I don't intended to give up on. So - that's my point of view. "Mind over matter." Do sweet potatoes work? I have no idea, but I do know there are things out there that seem to be beyond science that do work for people. If it's "just their minds" who the hell cares. Maybe part of you was desperate and looking for "some" answert, and part of you chose to believe in this woman and that's why it's working. But who cares, eat dem sweet taters (they are good for you anyway) and I'd add some nice powerful "positive thinking" to boot. Our bodies are quite capable of healing ourselves in many areas. It does it all the time. Good luck to you! (Sorry, I got long winded. lol)<br><b>References : </b><br>EDIT: Silly Sala.... You've not heard of Kirilan photography?

It's probably just the placebo effect. There has never been any conclusive proof that "auras" exist, or "energy channels," or any of that other New Age psychobabble that she was feeding you. EDIT: "Field of energy" does not equal "aura." Sorry. More importantly, Kirlian photography is only proof that a small amount of electricity is produced by the human body and other living things, which can then be captured on photographic emulsion. I don't know how anyone makes the leap from naturally-produced electricity to some ethereal "aura" that surrounds the body. There are Kirlian photographs of coins, and nobody is claiming coins have auras.<br><b>References : </b><br> That sounds like a whole lot of nonsense to me. It’s probably just the placebo effect.

It's a pretty safe recommendation on her part, like a doctor recommending plenty of sleep and fluids. Which makes sense. Folk medicine (including "spiritual healers") has a strong reliance on tried and true methods that can be recommended for an array of ailments.<br><b>References : </b><br> Sweet potatoes are good for the soul ^_^
