... but to be honest, that's only true around 95% of the time. Sometimes (like when I opened this thread) an exarcerbation gets so intense and, frankly, weird (in that it includes the whole system, body and mind) that I can't help but wonder "yeah, psychosomatic, but whose psyche is it...

Well, it may look like that from the outside. It sure isn't funny for the experiencer.

Yeah. Maybe you could read posts before you comment? A bunch of psychologists removing homosexuality from their "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" doesn't mean that it's been deleted from the "general populace's catalogue of dumb-ass biases". Where did I say that? This...

@beyondthestargate I had a clinical psychiatrist trying to medicate me for anxiety, resulting in what was probably the worst week in my life. I would wake up bathed in cold sweat with the whole bed shaking. If there were "chemical imbalances", they started by taking the pills he pescribed. I...

Oh man, it's about time someone started to denounce this. They still explain all kinds of "aberrant" conditions, such as a child's belief to have lived before, or the feeling of not being in the "right" body, or being gay or bisexual with "chemical imbalances" and would call them mental...

David Marler was a great guest and I hope there will be reappearances. He's obviously well-read and a critical thinker, which is the best you can hope for and not always a given with researchers (and those who call themselves that) in the field of Ufology. Plus, his appearance has made kanakaris...

That's what I've been doing for years now. Two surgeries and the chronic inflammation keeps flaring up, with symptoms that affect the whole body. Two physicians have said that it should have healed long ago and they can't explain why it doesn't. Unless it's some unknown virus, the only other...

Seems like that's the first time someone officially called it a UFO. I guess the answer to the opening question of this thread is 'yup'.

Thanks for answering my question. I guess it stands to reason, then, that ghost sickness, as long as it's being reported by individuals who have believed in spirits and ghosts all of their lives, is more likely "just" a psychosomatic response to an imagined ghost threat than a condition brought...

Thank you all so much for your replies. Much appreciated. This goes to show once more what a great forum this is. If nothing else, I hope people who read this thread will take this home as a warning. Thank you for sharing your story. I think you are very sensitive and that has taken its toll.

Someone probably should open a thread about dancing mania and stuff, but I'd like to get back to the topic of Ghost Sickness, which probably has nothing to do whith ergot poisoning or bacteria. At least there are no muscular spasms and involuntary movements involved. To be honest, I'm wondering...

It's unfortunate that this gets overlooked because of the "demonic" assumption. I think that Mrs Kruse has recorded some very interesting material. She is honest, the videos are not fake and she does look out for alternative explanations like planes, bats, insects and satellites. IMO, one of...

Mainly that and tarantism Dancing mania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The ergot poisoning explanation is not nearly as proven as your statement seems to imply. It doesn't really explain why these illnesses would spread like infectious diseases. If a handful of people ate the ergot, the...

So "ghost sickness" victims are reacting to an imagined threat by spirits, like the MPI victims imagine a disease, epidemic etc.? But what's causing the bodily symptoms? Why the heck do we still know so little about the actual causes for things like the placebo effect, hysteria and this MPI...

OK. I'd like to get you guys+gals's input on this, because I'm probably a bit biased in one direction. What, if anything, do you think these people are suffering from and why should it be reported mainly in native american cultures? There's people all over the world who believe in the existence...

Happy new one from Germany. The cake is a lie, btw.

happy holidays! cited for truthiness

Thanks for the videos. Absolutely amazing. This is about quantum biology, folks, not quantum woo. The question of consciousness possibly influencing reality on a subatomic level doesn't even enter into it.

Lookit that. My post is actually the first not to have a question (and it's much too late for that of course).:p I'm glad to see Mrs Clarke return to the show. I hope she got over last show's criticism and sees it for what it was meant to be, namely constructive.

Do you think there are many different "trickster entities" or is it all one universal consciousness that can have one strange sense of humour sometimes? Was there a trickster taking the role of Phillip in the experiment of the same name? If so was it probably rather human and alive (meaning...
