There is another menace.These people conduct self paid programmes in television with prepaid,tutotored audience before the camera,vouchsafing the products.At least media should refrain from airing these programmes.
Another type of Charlatanry is run by Christian organisations,which show live “instances”of ‘lame walking and blind seeing’by hystericall crying and yelling, calling it prayer.Most of these ‘cured’ are tutored and paid poor people.The people who run it have been running this as a business for three generations including a child from 3 years.Insult to Christianity and Jesus.
At least the Church should take action.These programmes demean Jesus and Christianity.
Government will take no action, hiding behind Secularism
Story;
New Delhi, India (CNN) — Sitting on an iron bench along a busy street, Chaman Lal sticks his fingers into a mug full of a greasy concoction and then applies the dark-red brew to areas where his patients complain of pain.
Lal — who does not have a license to practice medicine, but claims to be a successful bone doctor and traditional healer — says this potion of 18 herbs is a cure-all. His large signboard, placed along the roadside, claims he can even treat paralysis.
“I have a special potion for polio as well. Although I don’t get polio cases these days, but it can be cured with that potion and oil massage,” Lal said as he rubbed the broken ankle of a young man with the potion.
