Which is the basic message of this infomercial I'm watchin' right now. *people push some odd stuff at 3 AM* And this oil is appaerntly a cure all, with your physical, emotional, and mental diseases. *out of curiosity, and since it was free, and didn't ask for my social, I decided to order it for the hell of it* What do ya'll think, is God doin' all this, is it human will, or is it all a crock?

Well, I have seen some oil recepies made with herbs that have healing properties, bnut I dont think I've heard of any that cure emotional and mental problems. That I MO is beyond the works of any human medicine, and any divine figures dont want to work with something like that.
It may work, it may not. That is up to you to decide if it cures your problems, or if they went away naturally.

It's obviously a lubricant.
Such 'oil' can help cure most diseases of bodily troubles. ;3

He speaks! I agree. I mean, if it can't lubricate, it certainly can't reparate.[/johnnie cochran]
I think it's the old "give a sick man a sugar pill and he'll be healed" bit. It's not that it doesn't work, it's that it works as a trigger for the psyche to kick in and do it's thing.

Placebos like this, when advertised like this, are utter BS and most likely in legal gray area, if not flat-out illegal. If it says somewhere on the ad, "This stuff is for entertainment only", it's contradictory advertising, whose legality is questionable. ... Now, if Matthew Lesko sold one of these, I'd buy it in an instant. Because Lesko is awesome. DANGERDOOM.

This totally reminds me of those quacks that used to go around selling "curalls" in the "wild west" days. These people would put whiskey and some dried rocks and a little water together in a bottle and pretend that it would work, then get run out of town once people realised that it didn't (they'd, of course, sneak out before people could figure it out if they could).
Anyway, so yeah, basically, anytime someone tells you that something is "Instant" or "fixes ____ like magic," beware. Because we have a fascination with "quick fixes" but they never seem to work as well as the long-term, healthy ones.

Well, I just got my holy oil in the mail, and guess what? In order for it to work, you have to anoint 3 spots on it, and send the dude some money, and THEN, it shall do its work. Psh, what a way to pray on innocent people naive enough to buy into it. And what really bothers me is that people continue to buy into these crap and send him dollar upon dollar, to try and turn around their lives. The nerve of some people these days...

Yes, crock-o-s**t. Though if you're a gay man, it can work wonders in other ways. Or even if you're a straight man. Just find a girl to ********...

Without a doubt it is a good business! It is one of the most thriving businesses in the world that's been taking place for over 2 millenia. My idea about the poverty stricken is that I feel that some eventually have their beliefs fade away due to the realization that He may not exist - or simply that they did a lot to piss the guy off?
