Claiming Crystal I

Recently, we successfully pursued two claims for Lynne, who was unaware that she had been mis-sold a Payment Protection Insurance policy and a Packaged Bank Account until we contacted her. We do things differently. We are real people you can talk to. He is the boss. The big five examples of mis-sale: Other forms of Mis-selling We have tried to make it simple to understand how PPI was mis-sold and listed the major reasons below. Did the seller ask you questions about your age, employment status or health?

Were your earnings while off sick guaranteed for six months or more? Were any of the exclusion clauses mentioned? Were you told that PPI was optional or did you feel pressured into taking the policy? Were alternative policies discussed? Were you advised of the cost of the premium as a separate item? Were you even aware that a policy had been sold to you? Were you asked if an existing PPI policy was already in place? How do you explain someone I know that heals via reiki through energy, love and light?

He even knows what I did on the day I see him from channeling into my energy…How about the psychics that tell you what your future holds using energy vibrations and have been spot on down to names of people and even a description of the people I will be dealing with? May 21, at 9: May 24, at 9: The only stupid people are those who trust in science. How limited and egotistical the human brain is! The same science that said tobacco was safe to smoke, that thalidomide was safe, the science that said the world was flat etc etc. This study does not disprove the powers of crystals, it proves the power of human belief.

No the opposite is wrong and bad. Know what the rest is for? Look outside the box. Crystals would be a good start. May 30, at 6: I strongly agree, with Amanda above. Especially about crystals, crystals has been here long before man. Long before anybody existed, when god first created earth they were put here.

Now what really draw-ed my attention is they took two completely different crystals, one fake and one real. Study it and look it up, especially go read about it. There are over a million books about crystals and their history with humans. Nothing will never come out right if you lean to your own understanding which us men have trouble with and so called scientist. I learn from the BEST! June 27, at What we be a good place you suggest to get crystals I read something about not buying them but that looks like the only way for me.

June 1, at 1: As for my personal opinion, I do not believe crystals have power unto themselves, but they can be useful for focusing. If one has appendicitis, go to the damn hospital! June 4, at I am a rockhound myself and prefer to collect and just admire crystals in the natural sunlight. The beauty, geometrical shapes, natural flaws, and the prismatic effects of crystals distract my mind from negative thoughts as I practically drool over my shiny precioussss in the palm of my hand.

June 6, at 6: I have yet to study the subject myself. But your obvious bias is pitiful to someone who claims to care about science and the truth. A study of fourty people who come from one city is hardly conclusionary and the fact that the study wasnt doubleblinded is also dissappointing and probably also lead to bias in the experiment. June 10, at 7: In ALL those planets and solar systems that we are still trying to create devices to see…or even the bigger picture of who, why or what our purpose is? Why we evolve and adapt?

The Earth is constantly spinning in a motion that creates a static friction that keeps us from falling off into vast nothingness. Do you know why the Earth continues to spin? June 17, at 7: This is one of the most widespread and atrocious fallacies: Science is about winnowing down the options.

Some things are true, some are certainly not, and other things are indefinite. To me, this makes them one of those indefinite things. June 18, at 3: Ever since I am a firm believer of the underestimated power of our mind, thoughts, life force, energy waves, qi, homeopathic medicine, diet, healing foods, crystals etc. If the experiment is done by someone pressed to prove how they do not work then not all key elements will be taken into consideration and put to real tests.

On the other hand I do believe that most people who are open or at least interested or fascinated by crystals take the time to explore, learn and experiment without looking for a quick fix. The speed of recovery and final results will always depend on the person himself , as in every healing process, but non-invasive, natural methods do work, and it is up to the people themselves to chose the right method they want to go for at a particular time. June 21, at 6: June 23, at 3: Acupuncture is not a placebo effect. There have been numerous studies done properly with fake acupuncture and real acupuncture which prove that it actually works.

Rick simpson said no to taking the doctor drugs when he got cancer and guess what happened to him.. June 27, at 5: August 11, at It clearly makes you feel good to be completely ignorant. Open your square mind. February 10, at 1: Demon hunted world is by far one of my favorite book ever writen! Please for the love of humanity, someone who happens to read this comment. Take the time to read this book, I promise it will have a profound effect on not only your life but possibly future generations!

June 29, at 9: I was disappointed to not find more references to what is actually claimed, specifically about crystal therapy. Overall, the article seemed extraordinarily one-sided, poorly cited, and not well-researched, whatsoever. I question the credibility of the author. This is the worst article I have ever read. Instead of trying to seek the truth…it tries to convince people about things that the author has no idea what he is talking about. Science lacks quest for real truth and open mindedness.

July 10, at 5: Take down this blog post!! Science has tried to throw too many things into the superstition box and is ignorant of how reality works. In terms of dogmatic and one sided thinking, science has no advantage over religion. July 11, at These crystals transformed her into a completely different, more positive being but she was just believing that they would impact her life positively and that crystals are just a rock. I think everyone should ignore this blog and its lack of enlightenment.

July 23, at 3: When did common sense become such a rare commodity? Just reading the words of these wackjobs in the comments makes me want to weep for humanity. Many of these people are mothers, fathers, and people with actual responsibilities, and they are seriously convinced that magical crystals are improving their life. How the heck can full grown adults be this irrational? Some people are just happier ignorant and there is nothing that can be done about it. I know you are trying to fight the good fight by posting this study, but I fear your words will be lost on these types.

They are too far gone. Crystals are a part of the huge organic spaceship orbiting the sun which we call earth. Everything that inhabits earth lives. Therefore, crystals hold divine energy as does every other atom. July 28, at 5: August 5, at 6: August 6, at 4: My daughter has been suffering from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome for eight months now which is a condition that affects the central nervous system.

Due to the fact science only knows what it does about this system, the best the medical professionals can offer is to trial a wide range of drugs in the hope that one may reset the central nervous system to stop pain receptors being stuck in overdrive, not unlike a glitch in a computer system. When I asked if alternative therapies were shown to make a difference to this condition I was told as there is no evidence to support they make any difference to anything.

My point is the same can also be said for our modern western medicine, of which the side effects so far add to or exacerbate my daughters condition. Considering that and our experience, I believe that whether there is scientific understanding or lack of evidence to prove or disprove alternative treatment like crystal healing, unless we are open to try WHATEVER works we limit a potential understand of something so far unknown. What we know as a species is due only to where evolution has bought us. The limits imposed upon us by language alone slows down our capacity to know and understand certain things.

I am not an advocate of either science or alternative treatments but rather what works. Great article and responses. Testing the effects of crystals is like trying to measure consciousness. Science cannot explain everything and most things we think we know are mere theory! The world is moving on, we are evolving.

Crystals hold energy that with our current technology we cannot use yet. And I agree with the below, you seem to take new agers personally and are angered by it all. Did someone outsmart you? When in essence, most modern day medicine works through the placebo effect. How often do patients die from cancer leaving the doctors baffled? August 12, at I would be very curious to find out if the crystals used were properly cleared and dedicated before doing this study. I think someone who knows more about the crystal side of the study should have been involved to make sure there was proper use of them.

Instead just ask what the subject feels. August 14, at More on Placebos …. August 21, at 4: I friend of mind recently died of cancer which could have possibly been caught and treated in time if he had not shunned modern western medicine and instead sought out alternative healing practices to cure himself. He had three children, one a newborn, a beautiful wife, friends and family who loved him dearly, and he took himself away from us too soon with his obstinate attitude.

Even so, I think it is equally arrogant to cling to a purely rational, critical thinking approach to life and to illness. I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections. And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly that I am ill. I share this poem to underline the importance of acknowledging an aspect of healing that cannot be done through a mechanistic stance towards oneself and body.

I do not advocate the often simplistic, careless, or even dangerous way some alternative healing practices demonize western medicine even though there is certainly a different kind of corruption and carelessness in that field , or promote their practices as a better way. I also do not seek to validate or become cohorts with others who have experiences with crystals.

I simply know my own experience. I have had extremely positive experiences with crystals, positive being a sense of communion with something sacred, heightened sensation, a connection to non-linear wisdom not unlike dreams, and a centering of my meditation practice. Meditation cultivates direct knowing. I have a similar experience with crystals. It is its own kind of language, and different crystals speak in very particular ways. Would I have the same experience with fake crystals? But to deny the significance of my experiences, and the intricate non-verbal information they provide, would, well, it would be boring for one, and not true to my self and my experience.

August 24, at 8: August 28, at 1: Allow me to give you two examples: We know that but to test the real and effectiveness of the cpap therapy you need days if not months even the fact that you had a better sleep. Results of healing stones could be the result of years of direct contact with the frequency irradiated around a stone. Quartz absorbes the energy from the medium and irradiates back the same energy after being modulated… so it could take years to have a definitive answer about the reality behind stones.

Even today science denies the water retains information about past contacts with elements… pollutants, frequencies and even music. September 13, at I still find it amazing that people actually think that these rocks do anything at all. Rocks, reiki, homeopathy, and all those other nonsensical activities. A room mate of mine contracted lyme disease while on a retreat up North.

He did when he thought was was right and tried rocks, meditation, and homeopathy to try and get rid of it. He nearly died before they took him to the ER. THIS is why placebos are an awful thing. September 19, at As far as the article, like other readers stated, it really only emphasizes the placebo effect, which we have known about for ever now. September 21, at 5: Ive used them and had my clients use them since I have seen skeptics use them and be amazed time and time again!

The biggest flaw to this study is the length. Crystal therapy is not a 12 hour, one shot deal. Its a process that can take days, weeks, or months depending on the strength of the crystal and how it is used. Elixirs and yoni eggs work the fastest because they are inside of the body. This study needs to be redone over a year period to really be useful.

September 21, at 8: September 27, at Maybe ur right, maybe ur wrong. Its true if u dont believe that a rock can heal you, then it will never heal you. And what researches ur talking about? Science or scientific researches can never ever truly understand those thing which are beyond its control. Ur doing research on brain by using ur brain? And there are people in this world who use good things for their own personal benefit, such as religion.

But those who spent their lives on it, who have in depth knowledge, they have felt what energy is they have felt the energy of a crystal.

PPI – Why was it ‘mis-sold’?

And ur a writer! Richard Feynman -The eyes only see what the mind is prepared to comprehend. October 5, at 3: October 10, at Kyle I think your article is very miss leading and you might consider taking it down until you have proper information. For one thing the very test your talking about here about real crystals vs unreal ones would not work for testing such a subtle energy. Because everything in nature is alive and we can talk to it just like Dr.

So even a man made crystal can have energy and their for could react the same way a real crystal would. All you proved here is that they are the same. In our life we are to seek to understand our relationship to life…look up the word relationship, then look up the next word, connection, then look up the key that gives you… to find a common link. Crystals are the oldest kingdom on the planet they were here first, imagine if you could talk to the oldest beings on the planet what they might have to tell you.

The Rock people as the First Nation People call them, are our ancestors. Some Wise women and men call them the airports to the spirit world in South America. I have experienced healing with crystals personally and cysts disappear physically out of my body. They were not given suggestion only the opportunity to connect and relate. If you are truly seeking truth and you have not found it yet then consider what your doing. Putting out False information is damaging and irresponsible. Are you able to respond, that is what being responsible is.

October 14, at 7: People will continue to use crystals, because they work. Regardless of this article and many others like it…. Crystals and stones operate on the subtle energetic fields, and modern science has a way to go before catching up and realising their extraordinary abilities. We are only just beginning to unleash their potential. April 4, at 4: I am just as adamantly against the belief in the healing of crystals and I am a perfectly happy guy. And also I have read quite a bit of evidence for crystal healing and I have come to the conclusion that crystal healing is nonexistent.

Crystal healing

If you have the guts to look at both sides of the argument like me then you should read the Bible. October 20, at This is definitely not a black and white debate. Both arguments possess merit I must admit, one would be unwise to assume without a doubt that the atomic integrity of a certain compound, in this instance a crystal, is completely unable to react with a human, somehow physically altering them to satisfy them psychologically without the effect of placebo!

But this field does not have an adequate field of research to determine whether it is possible for crystals to alter your state from an atomic level, or an even smaller one. I agree whole heartedly with the author on the premise of alternative medicine should never be substituted for medicines that have scientific theory behind their chemical constituents and delivery, and I find it against reason based on what we do know now to maintain faith in the off chance crystals can affect any electromagnetic aura so to speak around a person.

We cannot test these things, so scientific method suggests we do not believe in them. You never learn anything. You become a crochety misanthrope convinced that nonsense is ruling the world. There is, of course, much data to support you. Since major discoveries in the borderlines of science are rare, experience will tend to confirm your grumpiness. But every now and then a new idea turns out to be on the mark, valid and wonderful.

Mere scepticism is not enough. November 13, at My name is not Jennifer. I need a scientist. I am in possession of a crystal that causes my hand to actually feel like it is vibrating. The sensation is similar to when blood loss occurs in a part of your body due to constricted circulation. Am I allergic to this crystal? It is a Lemurian Seed Crystal, and when I hold it the sensation travels up my arm and into my chest. Is the stone dangerous? I would like clarification, or assistance in figuring out the science behind this. I was completely transfixed by the sensation. Maybe I was just stunned by the woman who was just sort of randomly giving me a rock?

She said what it was and then walked away. November 24, at 3: Then that Tuesday morning i was nearly drained. I wish you luck your crystal and use it well. November 15, at I picked up a piece of labradorite and held it in my hand. It got hot to the touch. I came on the internet to find out why. I was looking for a scientific answer. Like it stores heat or something along those lines.

I have never read that labradorite or any other crystal would get hot if you hold it before. I am bragging in no way but just want to point out that I have a BS and MS so I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to receive a higher education.

I do not profess that I know everything though. I do know that I am going to research this some more. November 20, at From your writing, I hear that you are skeptical. Lipton, he is a very famous and well respected scientist along with Dr. William Tiller and Dr. I think that people have a right to choose. My mom is a crystal reiki healer and when she was diagnosed with Melanoma, she got a biopsy to find out if it was in fact cancer and when she found out it was, she spent the next several months using crystals, reiki and other healing modalities to cure herself.

To this day he still tells his patients about her and she has gotten many clients because of her experience and has continued to HELP not CURE all of the people she works on. Watch some TED talks about it, just open up a little bit and be willing to see it from another perspective. Amen to that, let the truth be heard…let the truth be heard. Crystals have always been the healing source and power tools of the Earth. November 27, at Glad to see this writing. It scares me how gullible so many of these people are.

PPI Claims (Payment Protection Insurance) | Crystal Legal

They will change their diet, start doing yoga, start chanting, mess with crystals, and surround themselves with like minded friends. None of this changes the world. If you want a new age you build it. You invest your time and energy into doing something you love which creates positive and mutually beneficial change in the world.

I switch between this and a plastic elephant necklace a friend stole for me at a west Texas convenience store. November 30, at 6: Hi everyone after reading many comments I would first like to say I fully understand both sides of the coin here. I first come to this artical looking more into crystal healing and energy work, I personaly belive that crystals can help a person not fully heal them however I must say it is very intresting I have read other aticals on how people shrink there tumors with very bizzare methods that hold no merrit and they kive and no one knows why and many other intresting claims however I belive alot of this comes down to education for now I will stay on the topic of crytals I mean lets say crystals can not heal diseas but can help with many emotional issues placibo effect or not then shoukd correct traning in crystal healing be giving I mean I have seen many diffrent course all the same name all very diffrent.

Shoukd there not be a regulated board that says ok we will teach u this and how to help people with crystal but rember this is not medicine it can not cure people and should not be uses as such but if people feel it is right for them it can help with emotional issues etc. I think this is a important step to take to say the least to at least say ok there are reports of crystalsand stone cureing people however since we can ot prove this lets say they can if people think it will help offer crystal healing to help with stress worrie and other emotional issues, I think that would be a big improvement I mean you will always get people saying its crap and people says it cures but this way it is agreeed that at least it is a safe way of useing crystals without harming people untill a point where we can say yes or no to the power of crystals.

Also side note remember some people have there depresstion treated with placebo pills from doctoes and sometimes they do work so we can all agreee there are many things we do not know about the human mind and body and sometime we need a push like sugar pills for depresstion to unlock what it can be again just this side note is what I belive but I do not shun western medical pratice or even herbal medical pratice and other things like relfexology and stuff everything has it place we just need to know the limits of are feilds xxx.

December 1, at 7: December 1, at 3: December 17, at 1: How can you write this?? Why would you put such negativity out into the world. Instead of posting it online to make other people believe they cannot heal themselves. So what if crystals or rocks dont actually have healing properties!!! It is the belief that creates energy happiness and healing. The study involves the human mind and the human mind can make or break such study. The great minds like Albert Einstein knew this. They could not conduct a physical experiment with scientists involved because what their minds where thinking altered the outcome of the result.

Some people can heal cancer with their minds some people may need an object to create that belief. The placebo effect definitely proves the mind has the power. Doctors give medicine, medicine is distributed through the pharmaceutical companies and the pharmaceutical companies give people time release pills to make them sicker and need more and more medicine we all know this.

I created an environment where I believed the crystal had powers to heal her I told it to her everyday. I planted the idea into her mind and she absolutely got better. Now she jumps into trucks. Doctors said she would never do that and had to have pain killers everyday. You write about how disgusting it is people sell a crystal and they say it heals usually at a cheap good price.

So its not disgusting how pharmaceutical companies manipulate people and even veterinary practices sell you medicine at top dollar saying your pets need it to feel and get better? My dad was diagnosed with parkinsons, a non curable disease. We spent years practicing mind healing. I even used rocks I picked from glacial streams and told him they were specially energized for healing. And for the person who wrote this, challenging peoples positive mindsets, all I can say is sad.

I bet you lead an unfulfilled life. Your thoughts can effect you and everything else in so many million ways that I can not even put into words. Magical Cure or Just a Rock? December 25, at 5: The study is not very detailed at all and assumes that crystals are a cure all and work instantaneously. Not even the science community can provide such an anomaly. If you use a pimple cream does it vanish the exact instant at which it is applied? If you cannot FEEL said pimple cream working does this prove that it is not working? Can you apply pimple cream to a headache and cure your headache?

Is there only 1 type ingredient of pimple cream? Can you use pimple cream anywhere on the body? If I apply pimple cream to my foot, will my facial acne disappear? Many other things could be said at the incompetence of not only the study, but the assumptions made from it however I believe this to be sufficient. January 12, at 5: Well Crystals work regardless of what someone wants to prove with participants and fake or real crystals.

So basically your saying it doesnt work at all but if u swallow a crystal sulfur you wont die? Did you have any type of equipment that looks at electromagnetic energy of the body? Piezoelectric materials, especially quartz , have the property to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa. In technical applications this effect is utilised by applying an alternating electrical field, which will cause the material to vibrate and subsequently resonate mechanically.

This electrical reaction permits usage as an electrical resonator with a very high figure of merit Q and a low temperature coefficient. This property is known as electrostriction or inverse piezoelectricity. When the field is removed, the quartz will generate an electric field as it returns to its previous shape, and this can generate a voltage. The result is that a quartz crystal behaves like a circuit composed of an inductor, capacitor and resistor, with a precise resonant frequency.

Quartz has the further advantage that its elastic constants and its size change in such a way that the frequency dependence on temperature can be very low. The specific characteristics will depend on the mode of vibration and the angle at which the quartz is cut relative to its crystallographic axes. This means that a quartz clock, filter or oscillator will remain accurate.

For critical applications the quartz oscillator is mounted in a temperature-controlled container, called a crystal oven, and can also be mounted on shock absorbers to prevent perturbation by external mechanical vibrations. A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a very precise frequency. The most common type of piezoelectric resonator used is the quartz crystal, so oscillator circuits incorporating them became known as crystal oscillators,[1] but other piezoelectric materials including polycrystalline ceramics are used in similar circuits.

Quartz crystals are manufactured for frequencies from a few tens of kilohertz to hundreds of megahertz. More than two billion crystals are manufactured annually. Most are used for consumer devices such as wristwatches, clocks, radios, computers, and cellphones. Quartz crystals are also found inside test and measurement equipment, such as counters, signal generators, and oscilloscopes. January 12, at 8: The writer has failed to follow a few simple rules about writing an article or effective piece -DO NOT insert personal opinion or personal attacks that is for blogging — Never appear Bias, even if you are.

So all I got from this piece of writing was an arrogant, possibly egotistical person with a vendetta and need to feel righteous about their own beliefs with little to no respect for anyone who does not bask in their opinons. I was looking forward to a good read and got a poorly formed draft of a beginners debate. See how I used personal opinions in my comment? It is because that is what it is, an opinion, not fact and I would not write a dedicated article and pass it off as fact.

I was thinking when viewing images of disturbing events, there is a rise in stress hormones, heart rate etc. The earth and we are made of the same stuff. Have a nice day. January 30, at 1: So there you have it: This is, of course, exactly what science has proven about all the western medications and is now proving about the surgery.

Once we know and accept this knowledge we no longer have to keep searching for an external cure for our ailments. January 31, at 1: You cite no references, nothing, nothing here that indicates that you know the first thing about science. Really Kyle, who is trying to mislead people? February 3, at 6: I believe that genuine crystals formed in the earth core can be beneficial to healing. HOWEVER if they are used as a magic pill whilst you live your life in a negative way and consuming toxins and pesticides and animals that are killed inhumanely then you will never heal.

Also you need to ask how your crystals have been mined. With a growing market of crystals have people been abused and killed for them much like conflict diamonds? In which case your crystal will do nothing but send negative energy through you. February 10, at Mineralogy has been a passion of mine for the past 18 years!
