I'm not saying she's a fraud, just that she ain't worth that to me.
I kinda like the seemingly randomness of life really.
If she really wanted to heal the world, or help people, I'll tell you that she'd not be charging 900 bucks. That broad lives high on the hog at that
rate.
Well, I think it would be apropos to state that I have just as little (or less) faith in the Medical Establishment as I do in this individual.
That's not the point, however. She is speaking to people and reading information from an alleged connection to a supposed higher source. Even though,
as I've stated, I don't buy into the med. establishment, I do think that they have put in much more time, money, effort, and skill to gain their
position in "healing". Add to that that they use medial equipment of various natures that also comes with a price attached; they do indeed have a
logical basis for levying a charge(although it could be less, too) for their services.
A person who charges 900 dollars for a phone call who pulls interpretations out of what amounts to thin air with no real credentials, and no real
equipment to maintain or use does not have anywhere near the operating costs, and so should not be viewed in the same light.
She may think she's better than a "Miss Cleo" but in the end, she’s just a Miss Cleo with more publicity and a few books padding her pockets.
That doesn't equate to 900-dollar phone calls in my method of logic processing.
She could help MANY more people if she was charging something much cheaper, in line with (but still inflated from) her true operating costs. That
would be an effort of a person truly out to help people.
We could also analyze your statement further about the medical establishment trying to heal the world and come to other, vast realizations such as:
Medical care across the world is varied. Some places have a much more socialistic view of healthcare and medical professionals in such areas would
look like Mother Theresa compared to this "clairvoyant" individual. While medical establishments in areas that are very capitalistic in nature look
as evil to me as lawyers themselves....
But I digress; the point is that she could easily afford to reduce her "price" and help many more people, if that was her wish; while still living a
very comfortable life.

Jeez if you guys are going to rag on the lady at least get your # right. She charges 700 dollars for a full reading and her son charges 400. Big
deal. If you got the money and want it, so what? You think she's a fraud, fine. Don't pay it. The people who do pay it don't think she's a
fraud. Why is it your or anyone else's business what they do with their money?
"Oh, if she wanted to help people she would be charging a lot less." Yeah right. You have no idea what her operational costs are. She does have a
staff you know. She has an organization. She got bills to pay. And how do you charge for what she does? How do you gage that? If you think her
price is what is keeping people from getting a full reading from her then think again. I tried once.....she had a very long waiting list and I
wasn't willing to wait a year.
I don't know if she predicted the tsunami specifically but i remember her telling people not traveling to India. I don't care either way. USing
that
"logic" there can be no such thing as a psychic because no one pubilicly warned kennedy that he was going to die, no one warned us of hitler, no one
warned us about ww1, ww2, vietnam. No one told lincoln he was going to die. you could go on with every major historical event.
