"Trust me, I'm not a Doctor....."
Psychic Healer - Dr. Helena Steiner-Hornsteyn
As you are all aware, I'm very easily confused. It doesn't take much at all to be honest. So you will appreciate my state of mind after reading Dr. Helena Steiner-Hornsteyn's website. It was the equivalent of suffering an LSD flashback whilst playing 'Deal or no Deal' at the same time as trying to sort out David and Victoria Beckhams clothes into two separate piles.
You see, Dr. Helena Steiner-Hornsteyn, isn't, if you see what I mean. She is an 'Interfaith Ordained Minister'. This as you are all very well aware means very little. A large number of the members of BadPsychics are 'Interfaith Ordained Ministers', myself included, I've always thought The Reverend Meercat has a nice ring to it. Mind you, my dog is also an Ordained Minister (although i had to set up an email account for it first)
Anyone can become an Ordained Minister, usually for free. Do an Internet search for 'free ordained minister' and you'll see what I mean. There are numerous 'churches' who will 'ordain' you via email. Some of these Churches take it one step further and give you the opportunity to purchase 'qualifications'. Doctor of Divinity is one of them. Generally you have to pay a small fee (up to around $600) write a 4000 word thesis on a subject of your choice and you can then use the title 'Dr'. Ladies and Gentleman, I give you Dr. Helena Steiner-Hornsteyn, a Doctor of Divinity.

Now, by itself, as I have said before, I see no problem with 'vanity titles', my problem with their use is when someone who claims to be a Dr, also calls themselves a ' Medical Intuitive'. Do you see my problem? 'Dr' and 'Medical'.....
The fact that Dr HSH (you will excuse me for not typing her full name all the time, it rubs the letters of my keyboard) has had no medical training at all, in her own words
"Nobody taught me"
Her method of diagnosis is also very scientific. On her FAQ she has:
HOW DO YOU "DIAGNOSE" WHAT IS WHAT?
Her reply?
I have no idea. I just press my cosmic buttons, I guess.
Stranger still:
MY DOCTORS SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME,
I STILL CAN'T GET PREGNANT
Her bizarre reply is:
No guarantees, but several who have come to me for that "problem",
have now delivered. In all those cases I discovered that memories of past life times interfered in the conception process today."We" healed those memories in one or two visits.
have now delivered. In all those cases I discovered that memories of past life times interfered in the conception process today."We" healed those memories in one or two visits.
Thats right, the inability to have children is based on your memories of a past life. It seriously is quite a medical breakthrough. Along the same lines as:
With time she discovered that certain cells within the body contain the actual CAUSE for physical and emotional imbalance and that this information can be intuitively changed.
Unfortunately Dr HSH neglects to mention which scientific process and research she used to discover this cellular malfunction. I'm presuming she at least owns a microscope?.....
Dr HSH also has a logo at the bottom of the website with stating "This site is a proud member of the Medical Professionals Network"
So what do with have now... 'Dr', 'Medical' and 'Medical Professionals'
Then my brain explodes when I see the phrase:
First, I am not a medical doctor. I can make no medical promises or guarantees.
Then I see she has a disclaimer on the site:
I am a minister. I was born with a gift. I make no medical claims or guarantees.
I am not a substitute for professional medical care.
I am not a substitute for professional medical care.
What? So why oh why have you bought yourself the title 'Dr'? Why do you call yourself a 'Medical Intuitive' why do you claim to be a member of the 'Medical Professionals Network'? A group by the way that I can find no information about?
Dr HSH has no prices advertised for her sessions, its a 'price on application'. But a quick look on Wayback shows she was charging $200 a session in 2003.
My ability is my gift to you. However, you have to pay for my time, just as I have to pay for my time here on Earth.
Excuse me for repeating myself, but, What? That's the same as giving someone a present and charging them for the time you spent wrapping it. Why crunch the words around when you could just say 'it costs....' rather than 'its a free gift but it's gonna cost you'.
Dr HSH proudly mentions at the top of the website:
Dr. Helena Steiner-Hornsteyn was named one of the worlds top 4 psychic healers by internationally recognized THE NATIONAL EXAMINER (July 1, 2003)
That's right, The National Examiner, the same publication that gave us such headlines as;
"Bush marriage over - Laura erupts after drinking binge"
"Johnny Carson's teen lover tells all!"
"Your hubby can make you sick!", and
"Fingerprint reveals Di's killer! New evidence proves car was tampered with!"
I am merely a TOOL
Its difficult, but I'm resisting the temptation to make any further comments.....
