"you knew it was wrong" should perhaps be "you knew it was illegal"

that guy, the healer, is a really curious character. even many of us mob would say a bit of a nutter. i saw a little doco about him somewhere. he is such a mixture of different things, administering ayahuasca one minute then consulting trees and gnomes the next.

it's funny the way that he babbles nonsense during healing ceremonies etc. a bit like what mckennas alien speak but faster.

I remember reading this a while back as well. Some of the claims he make are ridiculous. I understand that mind over matter might have taken apart in this. But whether or not the actual bone was healed..

Something that probably helped his case is that he wasn't doing it for the money.

Outside court, Detective Chief Inspector Phil Jones, of Avon and Somerset police, said DMT was a dangerous drug.

Our Detective Chief Inspector here doesn't know what the fuck he's on about.

Heh, maybe it should be.

Outside court, Detective Chief Inspector Phil Jones, of Avon and Somerset police, said DMT was a dangerous drug. He also said that he doesn't know what the balls DMT is, but said there could be error room for people to make spiritual understandings not based on an Abrahamic faith.
