Question:
Why are healers not eligible to be taught the IWT? And what is your attitude to the
well-known healers?
Answer:
Only professionals can be admitted to study the IWT methods so that to exclude the people w/o proper medical education who might ignorantly discredit the most advanced methods of treatment. We are dead sure that the idea of issuance of licenses to the healers by the Ministry of Public Health is entirely unacceptable because they give the right for medicinal practice to the persons without medical education. According to some inquiries, among them there are nine out of ten persons who are the people with mental illnesses of various sort or just ordinary simpletons and charlatans, who entitle themselves curators. But one out of ten among them is a person who possesses the phenomenal gifts of diagnostic art and enjoys curative abilities. And we have a certain attitude towards hypnosis as to the science that promoted the IWT's scientific formation and substantiation. And regarding my attitude to the well-known curators, it is essential to remember the following: if there are curators which don't make any trouble and instead of damage they bring something new to the science then we should let them have their practice. If they are good for nothing, then they are nothing but the "charlatans of the era". Curators and doctors co-existed at all times and some of them paved the way for new trends in science and remained in the history of medicine, while others remained in the history like professional charlatans without quotation marks.
