....my mother-in-law spent LARGE sums of money on healers and 'natural' medicines and had pyramids built with wires and metals to 'focus' healing thoughts..etc....and she got worse, and worse and died. Congestive heart failure does not seem to respond to "New Age" therapies.

Well I'm sorry to hear about your mother-in-law, Bill, and I don't know anything about pyramids built with wires and metals, but I do know this ...

if a person WANTS to be sick for any reason, conscious or subconscious (ie if their illness "pays off" for them via disability cheques, keeping them on drugs they enjoy taking or winning them pitying attention from others) - or if at a deep subconscious level they feel unworthy or afraid of receiving healing energy, then they will NOT allow the healing changes to take place. We are all free agents - and that means free to choose pain, sickness, even death over the opportunity to heal.

That's why energetic healing is never guaranteed. Dependant as these techniques are on the free will of the recipient, results simply cannot be predicted in the same way that the results of taking a pill or having surgery can be predicted (more or less).
