India Fighting Back Against False Healers
Newspapers catering to Asian and Afro-Caribbean readerships contain several pages of advertisements from occult practitioners who claim to heal everything from illnesses to bringing good luck. Most of them make thousands of pounds per year by preying on the superstitious and gullible.
So Lavkesh Prashar, president of the Asian Rationalist Society of Britain (ARSB) has renewed his offer to pay 16,000 pounds to any occult practitioner who can prove they have magical powers under scientific conditions.
“If these babas and gurus have any magical or supernatural power then why not they accept our challenge? Why do they back off when we challenge them?”

no one has worked harder than genuine psychics have been trying to educate the public for decades over the many frauds that disfigure the good work done by various exponents of the complementary and psychic agenda.
While i agree with the main thrust of the ASRB association, distinction must be made between the gunuine and the fraudulent, and if we are talking money,
first port of call for anyone who is financially defrauded is usually, other psychics
and advice is always the police, trading standards, and the C.A.B
never forget that the author Victor zammit offer £1000,000 to anyone who can disprove psychic abilty and all the quack T V psychologists,the
“Annoying James Randi,” and the ASRB regularly run away from the challenge.
My point is not to paint all psychics with the same brush,
for that just compounds ignorance.
