It is amazing the influence, and extent of this practice of black magic, especially in islamic countrys. Only last summer an aunt of mine put her faith in one of these self proclaimed healers, against all recommendations. Not only did she pay her a fee, but was also asked to take along a chicken for the 'qualities in its blood' (really it was only so the lady could provide a sumptous meal!)or possible for something more sinister. In this instance it had no affect in fact only exaccerbating the condition. It concerns me the extent to which some people prefer to put their faith in these practices that have no regulatory control or systematic proof of success. Each to their own of course but i feel for those who chose this route.
