The Healing Touch

For at least 2 years, I’ve expressed the same hope to nearly everyone I know… and it goes something like this: “I just know that soon a major news station will pick up this story, which will pave the way for others to see what’s really going on inside ThetaHealing.”

And it happened. 

Disappearing Cancer

The BBC story focuses on undercover footage of “healer”, Jenny Johnstone. As the website’s title picture declares, “The faith healers who claim they can cure cancer,” Johnstone is one of the many followers of Vianna Stibal, leader and founder of the ThetaHealing cult. For most of us, the concept of curing just one person’s cancer would be something to gush over. For Ms. Johnstone, however, it’s quite the common occurrence. In fact, it’s doubtful that she could have shown less emotion over something as miraculous as she claims.

Johnstone: “There was a baby I worked on over the telephone and, from one day to the next, the cancer in his stomach had just disappeared.”

Was any proof of the cancer baby healing offered in this hidden video consultation? Of course not. Why would a potential ”client” want proof of ThetaHealing’s touted results? Clearly a request for proof would show a lack of faith, right, and thus would be a disgrace to even wish for?

Johnstone: “Yeah, lots of cancers. Colon, lung, uh, breast, I haven’t had cervical cancer before… I haven’t had a client whose had cervical cancer before.”

BBC: “And have you had any success with any of them?”

Johnstone: “Oh yeah, absolutely. So, but, I mean, it’s not me that heals, you heal yourself, but I create the conditions.Cancer in many ways is one of the easier things. ”

Who wants to be the first person to tell someone going through cancer treatment that it’s “one of the easier things”? Anyone? No takers? I personally love the way Johnstone treads so delicately along the pathway of “healing”. She, like other ThetaHealers, can’t outrightly claim the gift of healing- instead they charge money by facilitating the way it happens… in this case “creating the conditions” in which cancer will vanish in one day! How convenient.

I’m sure the cameraman was touched.

YouTube used to be the posting-ground of much of Vianna’s ramblings, also known as ThetaHealing seminars and advertisements. However, heavy scrutiny (no, not just from me!) caused the THInKers from Vianna’s ThetaHealing Institute of Knowledge to pull off most of the old incoherent, nasal-toned profundities, and there is very little in the way of fresh ramblings, from which we can learn the ways of healing on the YouTube forum. So, what better way to ask for further clarification on this Godly issue than straight from the Horse’s mouth? … as they say.

One BBC reporter attempted that which is akin to blasphemy in the ThetaHealing universe: he tried to ask Vianna a question. 

What did Vianna, the self-made Prophetess, have to say?

Well, not much. The Newsnight crew called out to her, stating that they wanted to ask her a few questions. Vianna flashes a smirk which reads “I’m going to pretend I don’t like this, but really it makes me feel like a movie star!”… at which point Guy lunges at who appears to be the reporter, and later attacks the camera man!! It makes me feel so cozy to watch the gushing unconditional love.

At one point in the short clip, we can hear the reporter say,”We have every right!” to Guy… and Guy replies, ”No, you don’t!” This kind of behavior on the part of Guy Stibal falls directly in line with how they deal with anyone they see as a threat. The ThetaHealing family sues at the drop of a hat (including wife to husband- see A Horse is a Horse, of Course of Course) and any uncontrolled questioning is met with hostility at best, violence at worst!

But, in all fairness, Guy was out of his element. According to aforementioned YouTube, the UK isn’t where Guy is at his best.

Vianna explains that, when in the Bahamas, “Guy becomes just super mellow.”

Perhaps the BBC just didn’t catch him in the right country.
