Well according to the anthropology and psychology I've studied, "curses" can have no effect whatsoever unless the intended victim

That is conjecture from the view of the anthropoloists in an attempt to explain what they saw. It does not mean they were correct in their assumptions.

You should read the book "Shaman: Healer: Sage" by Alberto Villoldo. He holds a Ph.D in Anthropology.

A friend of his introduces Alberto to a Shaman, then the friends bet one another $100 that the Shaman can not negatively influence Alberto's Health, They decide to do this on Saturday after Albertoreturned to the states.

He goes out to dinner with friends, and during the heal; he tells that he is being cursed by a powerful Shaman, and everyone laughs.

Nothing happens on Sunday, or monday; so he is preparing to win $100. but Monday evening comes; and he is very sick. his stomach twisting in knots, and about an hour later; the phone rings, and it is his friend that says the Shaman was gone Saturday. so he asks his friend to go back to the shaman and ask him to lift the curse.

When Alberto began studying with the shaman; he asked about the incident where his health was negatively affected, and was wondering if he had subconscious fears, and the abthropologists believed that for curses to work; the person had ro be aware of the curse. the shaman laughed, when Alberto was able to get the shaman to tell him what was so funny? the Shaman explained that no he did not want the person to know about the curse because the person could go to another shaman and have something done to prevent the curse.

That is another assumption. There are other ways a human being can be breached.

Yes - it would have been better to say that the spiritual energetic techniques of ancient Hawaii are called "Huna" today. Thanks for clearing that up.

That will work.
