Joseph Dispenza is an author of several fluffy New-Age
snowflake bullshit self-help books, and is particularly notable for his
appearance in the deranged piece of pseudo-science delusion “What the Bleep do we know”.
Dispenza, who presents himself as "Dr. Dispenza", is the proud possessor of a “Doctor of Chiropractic degree” from Life
University, and currently seems to be in the “miraculous healing” business. He is
also a follower of Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment,
and has produced several Youtube videos in which he talks about quantum physics
the way he sees it, which has nothing to do with quantum physics (Dispenza
really doesn’t even have the faintest idea what quantum physics is), but a lot to
do with gibberish centered around various ridiculous forms of woo and crackpot spirituality crap.
If you enjoy torturing yourself with fluffy fogbanks of
pink-tinged drivel, you may check out his DVD series “Your Immortal Brain,”
which allegedly “looks at the ways in which the human brain can be used to
create reality through the mastery of thought” – which does not mean anything
(alludes to the Secret), but that doesn’t seem to matter much to Dispenza; like
quantum physics linguistic meaning appears to be just whatever Dispenza fancies
it to be at any given moment.
Diagnosis: Pretentious, delusional puddinghead who is
apparently convinced that what he thinks becomes reality in virtue of him
thinking it. Otherwise Dispenza doesn’t care too much about reality.
Dispenza is a perfect model for the Dunning Kruger effect. He actually believes that he's a Neuroscientist. I think mental illness is the main criteria when Hay House selects its authors.
ReplyDeleteYou mean "criterion".
DeleteThat's exactly what I meant to say. Thanks for the correction.
Delete"Consciousness is the X factor [that collapses the wave into a particle]" Von Neumann. mathematician. You might read Amit Goswami, physicist, if you think its all drivel. I don't know Dr. Joe or his work, but I know the principles behind it are not drivel, thy are primary universal creative law (physical law is a contract - and is secondary)
DeleteOh, I am familiar with the consciousness collapses the wave function-idea. It's drivel. But here is the thing: Even if it were correct, it wouldn't remotely support the New Age, feel-good, hand-waving nonsense promoted by Dispenza.
Delete"Criteria" is correct. "Criterion" is a bike race! So you were right the first time!
DeleteThe physicist in What The Bleep also testified they completely lied about him saying anything about quantam Physics relating to Consciousness. I'm shocked. These people will face their end soon enough!
DeleteAndrew Green, they're ALL demonic oppressed so there you go. This unity and peace garbage is a smokescreen for the Global religion. The hive mind serves the antichrist so he can contact these nuts like bees. I'd say it's working, because they literally all sound exactly like they are reading from the same paint by number counterfeit.
DeleteSad indeed watching humanity be so desperate and ignorant while proclaiming love. Life here without eternity is all they care about.
I would just like to comment on miles , Who is further down in the blog.The comments are written by darren Wilson.He claims that me ( miles brother)can not be trusted ect.Also being nasty about miles wife.We have just uncovered documents show Darren was trying to still off my brother to the amount of £10000.we have the proof and will soon be going to the police.It all makes sense now. Trying to steal off a blind ill person is the lowest...you have been caught red handed.
DeleteI am sorry for all those people who are blind to see the new findings in science and technology. They seem to be religious fanatics, still living as part of the masses that the Roman Emperor, Constantine used for his political interests. Constantine faked that he saw a cross in the sky; and faked his conversion to Christianity to fool Christian followers. As they were uneducated and ignorant they believed him. This believes have been perpetuated throughout the centuries, not allowing intelligent people to see, but what they were conditioned to see and believe what Rome said. With this kind of followers, humanity will remain in the dark ages, blind and ignorant, believing that they have the truth; even when they have no prove of anything, but blind faith. The only proof that they have is misery, illness and social corruption. People have evolved; people have education and knowledge. These days, they know better and they have opened their eyes. they are not ignorant any more. That leads to many people believe in nothing. They are lost, confused going back to human fundamental principles as Fred mentioned, Aggression Sex and Death. "Death Instincts (Thanatos), the concept of the death instincts, in which Freud proposed that “the goal of all life is death.” ... Sometimes these instincts towards destruction can be directed inwards, however, which can result in self-harm or suicide, homicide and genocide. Ancient religious beliefs do not make sense to many people these days. People sense that there must be something after death; and they are looking for a spiritual connection to have meaning in life. But these fanatics are so afraid of losing their trembling religious faith that they do anything to disprove the truth. People need to stand up and stop from being slaves of the old teachings and conditioning coming from religions leaders and archaic educators. It is hard for some people to realize the slavery, which we are living in.
DeleteWell said!!!ππΌππΌ
DeleteYes totally agree with everything you said!!..They will wake up in their own time everyone evolves at their own pace and only when your ready...so unbelievably beautiful when you do!!
DeleteA friend recommended the work of this nut. What a glib arrogant man. He appears to believe that he's a neuroscientist and uses this title on his web site. His bio states that he studied Biochemistry at Rutgers, but he doesn't say for how long, one day? One year? Who knows? The only courses he seems to have passed are in Chiropractic and a BS from some Liberal Arts College, which, he claims, an emphasis on neuroscience,whatever that means. This guy is nothing more than a snake oil salesman.
ReplyDeleteSnake oil salesman?.. What have you contributed but discrediting?...There is no truth/answers to life be it in religion, registered or qualified professionals. You must be his opposition the fact he is successful. You need to give yourself tine and the chance to understand his work,maybe than Dr Joe will give you his blessings
DeleteThis man uses these so called "credentials" to get where he is today, which I find questionable to begin with? Original post is right. He "GRADUATED" from a CHIROPRACTIC COLLEGE? You're telling me people like you detest actual medical professionals that put out their blood, sweat, and tears into making someones life a little less miserable? Possibly improve? You think he's a medical professional?!
DeleteAt least the people from medical field got APPROPRIATE DEGREES, and can admit their failures and being humble enough to grow from that. I bet top dollar you have a doctor in your family with a MD or PhD, go tell them that. This man failed his courses for an appropriate degree, he's doing nothing more than shining fake badges.
What kind of people are you???????? You got your fancy MD to make addicts and keep them addicted!! That's ALL your MD does. Dr Joe has helped more people be mindful and using the power of the mind ( which you idiots know nothing about) to help themselves with their own healing. You mds tell people how bad it is and the prognosis is not good, etcetc. Pumping patients full of your pharmaceutical friends pills to make sure you can get your cruises and bonuses. I honestly don't think you people know what the word mindfulness is, neither do I think you give a wit what your patients feel mentally or don't care. You have all the book smarts and NO common sense. I think you should ALL stick your heads in the sand and take it up the rear like you expect your 'clients' do. I say clients because none of you care about 'patients' and how powerful their minds are.
DeleteLook in the mirror.
ReplyDeleteStrange this guy doesn't have a Wikipedia page.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the same thing. I was curious what kind of "Dr." he was. When i didn't find a wikipedia page, I thought to myself "I bet he is a chiropractor". I looked up a page saying Dr. Joe Dispenza biography and laughed out loud when I read he was a chiropractor
DeleteI suppose being a chiropractor is beneath your station then. I work in the oilfield as a crane operator. To you I must be a tremendous joke.
DeleteAcademic arrogance going on on this blog.
DeleteScrubbed
Deleteby his team of web-sanitizers
Wording makes it sound like he's a neurologist but it looks like he just read about it.
DeleteHe makes it sound like you can cure anything with his method.
There's an interesting man, a journalist in the documentary Wild Wild Country (on Amazon). In 1981 'the Bhagwan' later called Osho left his ashram India to build a city in Antelope, Oregon so he and his followers could practice. During episode 2 he's interviewing the bhagwhan's secretary Sheila is being interviewed by a man who looks like a young version of Dispenza. I've studied him and know what he looks like and I immediately said to myself, "that's a young Jep Dispenza" then went to Wikipedia to see if he was a journalist ever. At that time & other times he's on screen in the documentary his name is never shown, he's the ONLY journalist NEVER indentified in Wild Wild Country which I find odd.
Deleteyeah truly this guy, what does he know? I mean 4 doctors told him to get an operation because he had hurt 6 vertebrae very seriously. But you know a guru like him, why should he right? hey for all you know that was 30 years ago, and he did managed to get completely healed, what do YOU GUYS know about anything?
ReplyDeletei agree. don't take a pot shot at a guy they said would never walk again. do you think YOU could pull that off??? most of us could not - not that we don't have the potential. being a skeptic is fine, but trashing someone who actually healed himself is another thing altogether.
DeleteI ended up on this page b/c I was curious what degree this man had as well. Yes, he does not have an advanced degree in neuroscience, but also yes, he DID heal himself with the power of mind over matter. If you study eastern philosophy, you will understand. forget about new age whatever you want to call it (i'm referring to the guy who posted this basically verbal abuse (GD?), if you practice meditation you will see the mind is a truly powerful instrument of healing.
Some people who claim open mindedness sure are awfully closed minded. I agree with you "Unknown", meditation is a powerful tool!! This whole blog seems to be very judgy. Sickening.
DeleteBeing open minded is not the same as being gullible - to the point that your brain falls out. An open minded person might take an interest in Dispenza and check out what he has to say. If it turns out to be complete rubbish, then why should they not say so. The guy is not only scientifically illiterate - but if you read what he actually writes you have to come to the conclusion that he also, almost, literally illiterate.
DeleteI see the defining difference, is some believe and have faith only in the physical/material world, while JD puts his faith in the meta-physical world. Where the unknown and infinite possibilities abound.
Delete"Dr." Dispenza is just Deepack Choprah 2.0. In other words a woo woo hack so full of shit it's a wonder he hasn't got mushrooms growing on him!
DeleteLet's not overvalue open mindedness. Aren't open spaces mostly just empty?
DeleteUmm, evidence for this claim? Sounds like a story he made up.
DeleteThese guys who who say joe dispenza is a loon Obviously Don't Know Anything.Never judge. READ DISPENZA'S books judiciously and tell me if you are not blown away
ReplyDeleteI was not blown away.
DeleteHave been listening to this guy in my car (audible).... complete BS. He talks about quantum energy and basically uses scientific language to fit his narrative.
DeleteI wanted a book to help me start thinking more positively in the new year after a difficult year. I thought this could be it. After reading the first chapter I can honestly say this guy is indeed mental...
I was totally not blown away .
DeleteJust listen to the testimonials from Dispenza patients..hundreds on utube they are not bull shitting they were healed by his methods ..nothing else like it
DeleteCan’t find any legitimate educational background on this doctor. I don’t suppose there are state exams or licenses for neuro scientists.
ReplyDelete"Dr." Dispenza attended Evergreen State College, a joke of a university with an acceptance rate of 97% requiring no tests, no grades, and it seems virtually no requirements to attain a degree. He went on to Life University, a chiropractic college which several times in the past 15 years faced the potential loss of accreditation due to the poor quality of the program. "Dr." Dispenza is on the faculty of Quantum University, a school founded by a Canadian doctor who had faced malpractice suits while practicing in Canada, and a school accredited by no reputable accrediting body, preventing students from getting Federally guaranteed student loans.
DeleteA number of "Dr." Dispenza's YouTube disease-curing testimonials are obvious fakes ... for instance a man diagnosed in December of 2018 and cured the following August ... which unfortunately hasn't arrived yet.
I'm all for the power of positive thinking, but Dispenza is a charlatan whose recommendations not to seek tests and treatments can seriously hurt people.
Hey! Evergreen is not a joke. I absolutely loved being a student there and the faculty instilled a lifelong love of learning in me. It is collaborative learning, not competitive and individualistic. It appeals to students who learn better in group settings. I was very fortunate to go there. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.
DeleteWas hoping to find some authentic reasoned critiques here; but am disappointed by the simplistic pejorative rhetoric
DeleteDr Joe teaches MEDITATION. If your not willing to Work to change them go get a life somewhere else. Your blog should be called the BS hater blog. You put All your energy into hating. That's what your selling. BS.
ReplyDeleteVp Mvp, I'm really curious about this person. Instead of focusing on the criticism, can you tell us more about him? He claims to be a neuroscientist, which while not a legally-protected title would seem to require some advanced training and/or original research publication credits. Instead, what I see on his Linked-in page is a carefully-worded statement that he attended Rutgers where he studied Neuroscience, and that he "also has a B.S. degree" (which seems to carefully not name Rutgers as the institution be degreed from).
DeleteThis strikes me as fishy, and nakedly deceptive. Am I mistaken? Did he not obtain a chiropractic degree from a private chiropractic school? Because I guarantee, there are no leading neuroscientists he could've studied under there.
Are we mistaken? Can he legitimately claim expertise in Neuroscience? Peer-reviewed scientific publications? Co-authorships?
Here's what's on Dispenza's bio-page at "Quantum University"
Delete"Dr. Joe Dispenza, D.C., studied biochemistry at Rutgers University and also holds a B.S. degree with an emphasis in Neuroscience. Dr. Dispenza received his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from Life University in Atlanta, Georgia, graduating magna cum laude."
But Life University is a laughable parody of an educational institution. No reasonable person would rank a degree from that place higher than a degree bought on the Internet through a link in a spam email.
DeleteExactly! He eas told he could never walk agin for the rest of his life yet healed himself. Anbody of the people of the hospital's he went to criticising him? There will always be critics wethe you do right or wrong. The people that are saying all this crap havent been rockbottom mentally(yet) they know it all. They are like sport judges who judge sportsmen while sitting on their fat asses at home. Joe dispenza was a yoga teacher and a hipnotherapist before his accident. Go try 1 of those then critics ore meditation and then startjudging.
Delete@Me just because someone manages to walk again after being told by doctors he would not be able to is NOT at all sufficient proof for the shit he is peddling. Yes, positive thinking and grit are likely beneficial contributors to healing, but this guy is extrapolating positive thinking to ridiculous extremes and claiming quantum physics to back up his statements. He is a Chiropractor, not a real scientist, and gradated from a degree mill. If he had any authority from his "miraculous" recovery, that fact certainly wipes it out. Also, I'm sure many people here have done Yoga. It's lovely. His having taught it decades ago is certainly NOT an argument in his favor. Yoga teachers are mostly very nice and calm people, but I certainly would not go to them for medical advice...
DeleteThe man's qualification is experiential rather than academic which is fine by me. In the end you have to use your own discernment to decide if someone has something to offer you, rather than listen to the self-aggrandizing naysayers own rants. I found this article informative http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/health/physician-heal-thyself
ReplyDeleteAs someone who went out and did experiments in a field myself, I agree. It is different than reading it in a book.
DeleteThe fact that thousands of people are healing themselves with his meditations including a friend of mine who was partially paralysed and went from wheelchair, to two walking sticks and then finally discarding the sticks altogether at one of his workshops makes your 'article' completely redundant. I genuinely feel sorry for the negative posters who will be trapped in the 20th century paradigm..
ReplyDeleteWell said, Sir!
DeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteTo the skeptics, if you are not ready for a fundamental spiritual shift, then his philosophy will mean nothing to you... and that's okay
Yes, very well said. I'm a living example of using my mind power to heal myself. I'm wounded warrior. While hospitalized, conventional medicine practiced by the best specialists each having earned multiple advanced degrees NEARLY KILLED ME!! I was nearly another static of death by doctor. I finally made a full recovery by using non stop visualizations, refusing surgeries. I walked then swam daily. Finally I linked to with an experienced natural path specialist. I made a full recovery much to the disbelief of my medical specialists, whom btw,I have great respect. They only follow theyre conventional training, which for the most part is outdated. I only just discovered Dr. Joe. His story caught my attention for being so similar to mine. To ask the naysayers including the author of this blog, to you I say, shame on you.
Deletethanks for your contribution.
DeleteEXACTLY WATC UTUBE TESTEMONIALS
DeleteI think the weight of his story is deeply underestimated. Just a brief glimpse at the timeline of medicine from 3300bc to today,I don't think there is a single hope, belief or example recorded of a complete regeneration of crushed vertebrae in medicine...what to speak of having done so using the mind...the blog post author has not done his research otherwise you would know Dr Joes personal story. The fact is he healed his own crushed vertabrae.As far as medical research goes,this has never ever happened before.
ReplyDeleteThat's because he lied about the extent of his injuries. They weren't crushed. He DID have surgery and chiropractic. He did NOT heal his body through force of will.
Deletehey RO, can you document your statements, they are extremely important if true, because they would expose him as a liar and a fraud. Howeer, if not true, then a different conclusion is required....
DeleteAh, just to poke the fire! And again offer many thanks to this forum. I had seen a couple of vidz in my YT feed that came recommended. I watched a couple that referred to David Hawkins and his "works"... and before I sank another few hours, i looked him up on this list. Saved! then there is this maniac Dispensa (of woo?!) Man, i like to listen to the mad ravings of Flat Earthers and word salad at bed time. Sends me right off as the brain can just switch off! Im wondering though, what long term damage this is going to do. However, just a quick shout out again to the chaps who sank a lot of time in to this forum. Anyway... i notice "Dis-poser" is currently doing the rounds, as featured on popular podcasts. And he just talks utter shit. For the longest times, the self help always ranted on about "gratitude" (and there seems to be something about the vegus nerve that triggers something or other - meh, whatever) but i was often stuck about being "grateful" to whom...for what (turns out it doesnt matter) but at last, i can say im grateful that I see the woo woo BS for what it is. Sadly though, there are desperate people out there who will waste YEARS and much needed $$$ chasing the "secret" or, aptly, running down rabbit holes. Its entertainment for sure... but it can't be taken as a foundation or framework for life.
ReplyDeleteThankful to our Creator, my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ! For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,so that whosoever believes in him will not perish but will have everlasting life. John 3:16
DeleteI’m wondering how many of the hateful commentators have actually reached deep, powerful states of meditation regularly. I too do not appreciate Joe’s loose use of words like “Quantum,” etc - but it’s the impact on your life that his and so many other meditations may have when applied with discipline. It is not WOO WOO (a redundant and vague phrase used just as loosely as Quantum) when the results of the student are measurable and profound. My life has changed radically since applying meditative techniques, and yes, sometimes they leave me in awe. I respect others’ uncertainty in Joe’s phrasing, but if you have not regularly achieved deep states of meditation - then the point is... simply lost on you.
ReplyDeleteExcellent points Brett. People that toss out the benefits of meditation because they convince themselves that its just cosmic ooze are really missing out. I say we let them miss out. They will never get their mind where it needs to be to benefit from it anyway.
DeleteI was completely captivated by Dr Joe's talks, convincing expertise in both science and metaphysics, and his inspiring words of wisdom so naturally tried to google him to find out more information. Could not find anything that was not self-promotional. I then heard him talk about his many broken vertebrae, prognosis for never walking again, refusal of surgery and then miraculous recovery. I would like to know why a Dr himself and "neuroscientist" who experienced a miraculous healing after a serious spinal injury does not include scientific evidence (Xrays, drs' reports, testimonials etc) in his many talks about this experience. This is a no brainer for me. There seems to be inconsistencies in his credentials - "I wanted to learn about neuroscience so I got a neuroscience degree". One of his many websites says his career related degree touched on neuroscience. That was not his major. Why say otherwise? Unfortunately I question Dr Joe's sincerity.
DeleteThis is my third attempt to post here. Apologies if previous posts went and I am repeating myself.
DeleteMy main question is about Dr Joe's spinal injury and miraculous healing some years ago now. Why as a doctor himself and "neuroscientist" he does not include any physical evidence in his talks such as Xrays, Drs' reports etc about his claims. I would like to know when and where his accident took place and would like to hear from his friends as well as healthcare professionals about what they witnessed. My second query is about Dr Joe's academic credentials. He is inconsistent and ambiguous about what degrees he has. E.g. "I wanted to learn about neuroscience so I did a degree in neuroscience", however, elsewhere his bio says his main degree subject focused on neuroscience but was not actually in that subject. Why say it then? Such a smart person would avoid inaccuracy. Finally why is it near impossible to find any information on line about Dr Joe that is not self promotional? This is very curious.
Hi. Comments on older posts have to go through moderation (given aggressive spammers), and I sometimes don't have the opportunity to go through them right away. So, yes - comments on older posts may occasionally be kept in limbo for a day or so. Sorry about that. They will be posted eventually, though.
DeleteJOE has tons or research
DeleteHe is also Leif Garret
ReplyDeleteThis comment made me search the internet for any evidence this was true...inconclusive. But possible.
DeleteDr Joe is good at what he does but what he does is not what it seems. Do some research on his past and you will find out he was part of Ramtha which is a failing cult that wanted to teach people to challenge their oneself, make known the unknown, the concepts that consciousness and energy creat or make reality and lastly that you are God or Dispenza way you are the placebo. You still with me??? He literally left his failing cult rebranded it and instead of having a person contact the knight in this meditation state he calls IT the Divine or even tells you to call it your god. He riddles small truths of both science and religion along with not naming what is (divine) in his quantum field to give people a generic energy to change themselves and their world. It’s mostly nonsense and I do think if you go to his meditations I suggest high caution as to what you are tampering with because it’s a very negative energy. This also is not from my personal experience as I went to one seminar and researched after. Pretty easy to figure out he is a fraud and Christians do not fall for his act and give this guy a once of thought or time.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely correct. It's Chi Energy and Kundalini aka the SERPENT spirit. He's just another puppet to brainwash people into doing these things that open spiritual doors with or without knowing it. Reiki and hypnosis operate much the same distorting Jesus and claiming man is God. Welcome to the one world religion. They're seriously convincing they were sent by aliens to save US, that they're sometimes cheating death by ascending to the 5th Dimension which physicists confirm only exists in Mathematics lol.
DeleteIt's truly sad how possessed people have become. Is the healing power real? To some extent, yes, but it can not be proven what or whom caused it.
Satan has the power to heal and people are so pathetically concerned with their earth they will sell their souls for another year on a polluted planet, while calling others not awake.
To confirm "Dr" Joe's rightful entry to this forum see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9qzbAKbje4 To confirm that he's a callous and vile quack see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xwxwi8arrU
ReplyDeletePretty disgusting!
Thanks for this. Pretty confirming stuff right there. A little saddened to see how many people in the comments were drinking the koolaid.
DeleteThis my first time on this blog and I can't believe how many haters and close minded people there are!! Shame on you all when all this man is trying to do is help people heal as he has healed himself. Jesus did say
Delete"god lives within you". Who cares if he is not a fully qualified neuroscientist...he has helped thousands of people that is what is important. Maybe one day you will all have a time where so called modern medicine can't help you and you will go looking other 'possible' treatments (so called "unconventional treatments") but going on what I have read on this blog you all would probably will choose the other option (suffering or worse). Open your mind "you will be amazed"!!!
It's funny that when you click on G.D. View my complete profile, absolutely nothing comes up. Who are you? You or those you employ seem to do a heck of a lot of research through the grants you receive from wealthy donors.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the peer-reviewed medical studies of the remissions claimed?
ReplyDeleteIF only medical journals would publish peer-reviewed studies of remissions claimed!
ReplyDeleteUtilising consciousness as Dr J says his methods do, would become man-kinds primary activity and the world be transformed. Any medical journal Dr J. Just get it done.
So far this sounds very similar in nature to Lafayette Ron Hubbard & Dianetics. I had a friend highly recommended Dr. Joe so I did like most others have done and found very little info on his personal life, just accolades from followers and skepticism from disbelievers. Lack of a well known figure's wikipedia page does shade a bit of disbelief. Also i am curious, as to yet have not found, any more the buying a few books as to what the cost associated with the various programs. Still researching tho...
ReplyDeleteRegardless of titles/labels or expensive paper degrees, Joe is saying one thing. And let's simplify it for all the disbelievers/contrived you can live in love,joy and contentment or you can live in hate,stress and judgment. You choose how you feel everyday and that becomes who you are. Try imagining yourself on the opposite side of the magnifying glass. This is a message of love
ReplyDeleteSo true . One life one love .
DeleteThe power of thought .where you put your thought you put your energy π my friend Miles Kane and his living carer 10 months now and I have seen much with the power of meditation and self healing . Ok miles did get his brain tumours back again within 5 weeks . It's been a very hard 5 months for him but he's on the way up again and self healing again . miles will be up on stage again .
To show the world that you can self heal .
Nobody comes back from over 60 brain tumours .
But miles will .
Miles talks about his brother Joe never again he was only there for the money what a points I totally dishonest and untrustworthy shit .
My name is Daren on the Capricorn I am the goat and I care and I will not let miles die.
I do understand what people are saying about Dr Joe dispenza ?? But I have listened to many many hours and meditated many many hours and I do believe he has something to offer .
Anyway here is miles testimonial and me and Miles are thinking July he will be healed by π. His just got to get his divorce done then his free from the evil she is π± .
Hope this info helps
https://youtu.be/P66FqP5x9PM
I was at the Brighton event where Miles gave his testimonial.
DeleteJoe said on stage he would show us his brain scans but he never did.
Can you explain this:
Miles talks about his brother Joe never again he was only there for the money what a points I totally dishonest and untrustworthy shit.
Are you saying Joe Dispenza was only there for the money? Or Miles was? Or Miles brother? I remember seeing Miles brother with him
Hi aj. Darren has made up some horrible stuff about a few people round miles.darren was living with miles as I had to go back to my family. Darren very quickly got rid of miles staff,gardener house keeper.. window cleaner everyone.He then lied and plotted as time went on Till he was the only one with miles. Two people close to miles ( not myself) called the social services.Darren was gone the next day!!! The last 2 or 3 months miles has lost his sight.A member of our family found a contract Darren had left on miles computer. It was in the waste bin.we have this it shows it was sent from Darren's email.It is a contract that miles will leave him in his will. Miles knows nothing of this. Miles has had all the locks changed on his house as Darren had taken the main house keys when he left.this has caused miles alot of distress over the last few weeks.I love my brother and your a scum bag Darren for what you did... It's ironic how you crawled your way in and it was all to get a few £ . We also have the care plan Darren left for social care... It's nasty bitter , and there in his words.
DeleteIf you're the brother with Miles at the event, I vividly remember you. It seems Miles has been through the ringer!
DeleteI'm not in the UK much myself any more, but if you need help retrieving any files Darren may have already deleted, I know few software programs that can restore deleted files from computers and mobile devices.
All the best with the journey onward!
Let me say this no one needs your help coz there is nothing to find except hundreds of emails wrote by me for miles to do with his divorce , ordering oils with Brian at healthcare in Holland and so on . 10k was offered to me if miles wonted me to stay on and care for him as I had been there 16 months already I did write a contract out and it was not presented to him as I left . Nothing is for free but 16 months was . I was going to have a break for the last two weeks of the summer to spend with my two young children , miles did not like this coz he needed me , I left and the very next day he fell apart and his ex pit him in hospital and from there he went into a hospice and unfortunately that's where he stayed and died . Yes I could be to blame but you was not there nor was his brother just me .
DeleteIf you like to go on miles testimonial on YouTube you will see my reply on miles brothers comments and I say it all or most . Please indulge and please don't think bad of me coz I am not the bad one here . Thank you take care Daren π
Degree means jack shit when you have practicing doctor who single handedly is to be blamed today for measels outbreak in certain countries (and no, vaccines don't cause autism). I understand skepticism, but we are wrongfuly taught that we should fear unknown and Joe's is debunking that. There's certain solace in knowing that there's something not to be known, and god knows that realisation helped my anxiety, and my anxiety was certainly fueled by my innate skepticism and need to research and analyze everything. I don't think Joe's one of people that should be lambasted as a quack. His book ''Placebo is you'', while unbelievable in some aspects, still offers great insight into nature of personality and emotions.
ReplyDeleteYou are all writing about Dispenza and how snake oil he is, but you do not refer to all these people that have been healed by him and describe how that happened. There are so many testimonial videos in youtube. I guess you will say that they are paid to say so.... I am not here to defend Dispenza or any Dispenza, I am here because I am sick and tired of the academic community being so close minded. There is hate for every new approach. We are more dogmatic that any dark religion or cult.(I say "we" bexause I am PhD myself). We go to conferences and INSTEAD OF DISCUSSING ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT CAN HELP HUMANITY , we fight with each other about methodology, publications and impact factors of scientific journals. Science is to serve humanity, not to be a god towards all we must kneel. No, I will kneel to everything that can improve people's life. If there is evidence of something that can help people's quality of life, I will not wait for a fancy scientific journal to publish about it in order to look at it with respect. You do not only reject everything with out aa blinde review, you hate it. This is pathetic.

DeleteEXACTLY ....
Deleteagree with Alex frome the north
DeleteCompletely agree Alex from the North!I have to pose a question....if we don't open our minds long enough to even be able to imagine another possibility then one will never happen. We will never start testing it or even acknowledge it so it is dead in the water before it could even start. How does everyone think anything, any concept... all of it how did it ever get proven correct in the first place?? Because someone was willing to say "what if" " I wonder" or any other leading question getting the ball rolling. It is ignorant to squash possibilities just because it may challenge your current paradigm or isn't currently proven by modern science! It stops progress for man to move into the next reality FOR ALL OF US so please just stop. Please stop needing to be right and try for just a few minutes to be open, open to any possibility as I have seen some things in my life that can not be proven by science yet there is not doubt when you feel it or see it yourself.
DeleteYou all do realize that most doctors from the past were wrong, right? You do realize that while science might be correct on the details on something it can still be very wrong on the big picture because they can't see past their tiny lens?
I am not here to review Dr. Joe but after reading the barrage of Karen's needing to tear down something they have more than likely not tried is mind blowing.
I have watched for too long the naysayer keep the rest of us from progressing that I felt compelled to respond. I encourage you to drop the need to be right or talk about someones credentials in order to make yourself feel better about you. Encourage your fellow man, ask yourself "what if" and please try to open your mind for a millisecond. You will be so glad you did and you just may be happier for it....I know I will be, lol
I don't know what you claim to have a PhD in (you don't say), but I am pretty sure it isn't science. If it were, you would know that testimonials on youtube are worthless as evidence for anything. And no, not because the people in those videos are "paid" or anything. I am sure many of them really believe they were healed. You will find many genuine testimonials on youtube from people who claim to seen pastors raise people from the dead (or even been raised from the dead themselves), who swear that they have seen dolphins flying by the powers of chakras, or been abducted by lizard people, for bloodletting or alchemy or any medical claim already refuted. These people are often honest, and usually not crazy, but as science has discovered the hard way, the only way to test a claim is through rigorous tests that control for confounders (and the easiest person to fool when investigating, is yourself). Testimonials are worthless.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, the science community is not close-minded. Indeed, building a career in science requires finding out new stuff. Scientists love new approaches. But science requires accountability and evidence! That's usually the rub for charlatans and pseudoscientists (who dogmatically don't want to let go of what they already have convinced themselves of is true.) If you can come up with a good research project with a hypothesis hasn't already been falsified (regarding some of what Dispenza claims, for instance), and a way of testing it that controls for confounders, you'll enjoy amazing success in science. But you do need the evidence.
You seem to be confusing open-mindedness with gullibility. Being open-minded doesn't mean that you accept any random claim. It means that you are willing to change your mind if someone *gives you good reasons to believe* that you are wrong. Scientists are very much posed to change their minds about Dispenza, but he has to come up with the evidence, and youtube testimonials and anecdotes aren't gonna cut it (for the reasons pointed out above: you'll find honest testimonials about absolutely anything). He is, of course, not going to do that. The whole success of science is based on open-mindedness, rigor, careful tests and acknowledging that humans are terribly error-prone when using common sense to figuring out how the world works - to the annoyance of pseudoscientists who can't bother to do any of that, or dogmatists who can't accept that their cherished beliefs can't survive in rigorous tests when biases are controlled for and rather turn to blaming science for close-mindedness or something.
Dear friend,
DeleteFirst of all I have to admit that my post was a bit aggressive, mainly because of all the posts above that made me angry. I will try to be more polite this time, as your answer was.
So yes, my PhD is in science education and now that I am writing this post, I have already published papers in blinded peer review scientific journals. I am also waiting a decision for other papers that are under review. I think I agree with you on some points of your post, but I still believe what I claimed in my first post. While this is not about dispenza or any dispenza, let's discuss some things about the academic community and science in general
There is NO DOUBT that the "rigorous tests that control for confounders" as you mentioned, have helped humanity to move forward and to achieve amazing things. I love science for all its contribution to our lives: medicine, technology, HEALTH, etc etc.... There is no end to the importance of science for our advancement as societies.
HOWEVER.
if you think this system is a god because of the "rigor, careful tests", then i totally disagree.
1.Have you ever been to conferences where a person from the audience -not a researcher- asks a simple question based on his real life experience and they tell him to "shut up" because "he doesnt know" or "because the statistical analysis is great " etc etc... Well, I have been myself in such a situation. If we make science for science, then all hope is lost. I believe that science must serve humanity, not the other way around. If you see a greater respect and bound between "common" people and scientists I respect your opinion. But I do not see that.
2. Lets go to scientific journals. I guess you ll have published yourself some papers. I can guess that by the way you responded. So, have you read papers with ENORMOUS mistakes in methodology, with reasoning THAT MAKE NO SENSE, and still are being published by the ULTIMATE QUALITY CONTROL "blinded peer review scientific journals"? No my friend, this is not the ultimate quality control.
3. Have you heard about papers that are being published because a researcher knows the editor and so he get published? Have you heard about people going to other countries and download their papers in order to appear as people worldwide download their work? Have you heard about researchers that get references to their work by agreement with other researchers? Charlatans and pseudoscientists are been accused of making money on their theories, but have we thought to our selves whether science and publishing is a well set up business as well?
4.Have you heard about universities that give master degrees to people without any true work and studying? (I dont know if you are from USA or Europe, I am from Europe AND THIS IS A REALITY). That guy, with that kind of degree, after his graduation will claim that he is scientist. No my friend , degree sometimes is just a paper for the toilet. Where is the quality control here?...
5. What about all the great scientists that are know recognized and respected, but when they started they were criticized heavily by the academic community. And they were also charlatans back then. So, do really "Scientists love new approaches"? as you think? I am not so sure. There are too many examples of recognized scientists that back then they were just a.... crazy guy claiming some shit.
6. There is a movie for a pioneer mathematician from india, Srinivasa Ramanujan. His story has gone mainstream because of a movie. In Harvard today you can find a statue, a bust of him. His work at the beginning was heavily criticized. Moreover, he used to say about his theory : "An equation means nothing for me , unless it represents a thought of god". According to your opinion, is that also a testimonial about lizards and raising from the dead?... I ask you that because this quote is certainly not accepted by all the severe and solemn academics. Tesla used to speak about lightning when he was perceiving a new theory. Is he a mad man? Is this accepted as a scientific method ? Was he crazy or could he just do SOMETHING THAT WE CANNOT DO? Can you answer me this question with absolute certainty? Because I dont. I dont know, and exactly because of that , i cannot judge him as f.....ing charlatan.
Delete7.Why so much hate? Yes, I TOTALLY agree with you that many things that dispenza or any dispenza claims have not been scientifically proven. Indeed. But what if they have not been scientifically proven YET? What if we do not have yet the technology to do so? What if the some of these will be proven in the future? Why so much hate towards all these new stuff? DO YOU KNOW EVERYTHING (not you personally) AND THEREFORE, YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT ALL THAT STUFF IS A BUNCH OF SHIT? I guess you dont (again, not you personally, this a question in general to all of us). Something that has not been proven yet, maybe will be proven in the future. And also, who says that until it is proven, we must hate every one claiming it?....
8.No my friend, allow me to say that I do not confuse open mindedness with gullibility. I do not accept any random claim, but at the same time I DO NOT REJECT any random claim.
9.And finally about the testimonials. First of all I cannot get your point. You say that a person is not crazy, but at the same time his testimonial means nothing to you. So what is going on? Testimonials are really important for me. I cannot reject a testimonial only by the fact that I cannot integrate what someone says into an existing scientific field. Maybe he speaks about something THAT IS NOT STILL DISCOVERED. Again, do we know everything and therefore, can we make fun of everyone that talks about something strange? Yes, maybe what he talks about has not yet been scientific proven, but does this makes him a charlatan? Maybe he is. Maybe he is not. By the way , what is a questionnaire and all the quantitative methodology we all show respect for? Is it not a sum of testimonials? If a friend of yours tells you that he has been healed by a way out of western medicine, would you like to know every detail about it , or would you try by all means, decisively, to explain his healing only by what western medicine believes? Because if you do the latter, then you are not open minded, you are more dogmatic of the worst cult.
(Continuing the above post)
DeleteMy dear friend, I love science as much you do. But I do not consider it as God. I believe that we have to provide scientific literacy to common people in order to help them secure their health, their nutrition, their quality of their life as a whole. If something else -outside the scientific context AS WE KNOW IT TILL TODAY- claims that can also offer that values too, then I will approach it with respect. Not with hate. I will ask for more details and I will ask to get it in a scientific context in order to make rigor, careful tests about it, as you correctly say. I will try to find new tests, new methods to check it out because we may not have the means to test it yet. I will interview people that testify about it (so yes, I will take under consideration the testimonials). I will do many such things, but I will not hate it. Maybe at the end I will reject it, but even then, Ξ will reject it with humbleness and cautiousness. Because I l now, that I don not know everything yet, and that there is still much to be discovered.
To the best of my knowledge, true science is not arrogance, politics, accusations, conspiracies and abhorrence. Sometimes it would be useful not to reject anything new by using the existing literature. The true answer to any "charlatan", is not reject them with passion as if we are rappers and write diss tracks to each other. The true answer to " pseudoscientists " is focusing on science itself, LEAVE ROOM FOR ANY NEW OPINIONS TO EXIST and demean, degrade non valuable notions by reaching higher standards and moving forward into knowledge and discoveries.
I could continue writing on and on, but there is no point. I think I outlined my opinions. I end my post with a quote from Nikola Tesla " “Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity."
Thank you for your time reading my reply to you. Have a good day.
Wow that's how to put a point over .
DeleteWorth a copy and past with credits to you .
My friend is one of Joe's students .And Jo is so interested in miles as he has extraordinary powers .
Royal Marsden hospital London have never seen brain energy like miles has . Have you ever seen the whole brain light up orange . No one has .
5 years and over hospital MRI CT scans documentation on disc.
Anyone who would like to hear more then you will have to wait for when miles is ready to tell the world how he got read of over 60 brain tumours and Healdh himself . And how he is healing himself again as he got multiple tuners and a big oedema five six weeks later . Try to run before he could walk . What I do question is how many people at Joe dispenza shows actually went in remission not because of self-healing because of the love .
I really cannot understand what you are saying.
DeleteMaybe you need to put your hand in your pocket and go to a Despenser Avent instead of speculating .
DeleteYou talk to much
DeleteLet me see if I have this right. According to "Miles", he was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2013 and given only three months to live. And according to Miles he first encountered "Dr." Dispenza "two and a half years ago", which for those of you calendar-deficient means 2016. So Miles, facing immediate death, survived for 3 years without "Dr." Joe? How did that happen?
DeleteAnd Miles went on to say he really found the great connection with Dispenza a year and a half ago (i.e Spring 2017), and was able to tap into his energy, and yet Miles states that in May 2018 his scans showed lots of head tumors, and he was told by doctors again there was no hope for him. Huh?
And in September 2018 Miles says he was told his "results were excellent, and you've got no active cancer."
If you're going to make up "testimonials", could "Dr." Joe at least make the "script" consistent with the calendar.
Alex from the North I couldn't agree with you more and thank you for spelling it out so eloquently. You would be my idea of a true scientist! Thank you again for sharing your thoughts....
DeleteSo many talk soo much BS what do you really know.
ReplyDeleteOk Dr Joe and his none transparency it's under fire . And why not .
But
If you don't know what Jo D does at his shows and the work shops that are run with all the equipment he has to monitor brain activity.
Then how can you fully understand what's going on , YouTube does not give what is go"s on there . It's a small window your looking through .
All them testimonials are true . Dr Joe can even tell when someone is going to Pop in his words , meaning healed .
He can watch all this ono screen happening in real time . My friend Miles Kane stage 4/60 tumors on the brain he cleared his self of all tumors . Unfortunately within 5 weeks he got a load of tuners and a big edema back . Run before he could walk .... . I guarantee you by July he will be healed again π he did it in 4 months before, all this is through meditation Dr Joe dispenza teachings .you can moan all you like , coz you don't understand it . Simple.
You're a deluded, deceived monkey for the powers of Darkness. Satan has the power to heal and that's exactly what this so called energy stems from...antichrist religions.
DeleteI've paid my dues peddling the trash you peddle and I know the real truth now. Get ready for him to collect, because he always comes back.
RIP Miles

Well the ignorant didn't understand Jesus back in the day either. Doesnt take away from the fact that people are experiencing what would appear to some as miracles. There is infinite levels of Consciousness. Just because a person is not vibrating at the same rate as the teacher, doesn't make what the teacher is saying wrong. Peace and Blessingsπ
ReplyDeleteI landed at this blog as a result of a search on this "dr," joe and his actual credentials. He claims he is a neuroscientist but there is nothing on wiki. I find this claim an insult to bona fide neuroscientists and even to us people that tuned in to him on utube. I do like the basic message of meditation, positive thinking and always learning. But a large chunk of it is just blather. "Baffle by bullshit"... like so many people out there! Beware! hahaha
ReplyDeleteIf i want incoherent gibberish i go for french philosopy instead, since you get a more highbrow persona and get laid with zen-women.
ReplyDeleteDid you just compare Dispenza, who lies about his credentials, to Jesus? Just, because we are skeptical and are not gullible to psuedo science and fake neuroscientists, doesn't mean we don't understand the blatant lies and inconsistencies that come out of his mouth! He speaks of quantum, yet has no real understanding of it. If you think a chair, which was literally made by man, has energy and vibrations like living things, you are brainwashed. I do t necessarily have to see it to believe it, but there has to be some sort of proof, effect, correlation that comes with whatever lies he is saying, but the second one of us asks questions, immediately the cult following says, "you just don't understand". How about it is you guys that don't understand you are being taken for a ride. He has hundreds of thousands of people at these seminars, charges close to 2 grand per person for what? For enlightenment? Couldn't he do that at $100 per person, if he was such a kind, loving, genius, who you all worship like God. Haven't you noticed only the wealthy can attend these seminars? How much easier it for someone, who doesn't have to worry about monatary issues to find happiness? I'll tell you, it's 10 times easier than someone, who has to work three jobs to put food on the table. Now go tell the homeless population to imagine themselves in a home and tell me if all of them conjured up a home for themselves, like Dispenza claims you can. It's asinine and he literally took teachings from the rathma cult and put some new age spin on it and you have your brainwashed audience.
ReplyDeleteDr Bruce Lipton and Gregg Braden with Dr Joe dispenza they are the three amigos .
DeleteBruce Lipton and Gregg Braden a very credible people and do they not speak about quantum physics and how you can tap into them .
You can't discredit them can you so how can you discredit Dr Joe dispenza because they all work round the same thing . Answer me that
Yes I don't believe in the cost from 1000 to 2000 pounds . But it's not just for the rich is it . If you're dying you would spend your monthly wage wouldn't you
The only people that are brainwashed are the ones that watch the b******* on TV the b******* in the newspapers the b******* on the radio the b******* down your street and the b******* you talk . Maybe some of you should look up Hans Wilhelm , I suppose many of you will discredit this bloke even though his sold 43 million books .
Anyway do you research before you discredit anybody . Because you will make yourself look like a fool as you have . In good time miles Willbe back on stage across the world π then and ok only then you can eat your Hat .
Brainwashed are the morons that listen to the government watch programmes like EastEnders and the kardashians drink loads of alcohol get smashed out your head fight and have loads of sex have illegitimate kids abandoned them and your the Man π€£ππ€£π i really don't think many on here really have a clue what's really going on under your noses in your face but you are in low alpha you will never know .

Delete1 )Miles Kane has been battling stage 4 cancer little over 6 years
Miles had a tunes in the lungs one in the neck 39 on the brain .
Miles cleared himself of lung cancer and got read of the one in his neck .
mouse had intervention at the royal Marsden hospital . Which left him with 19 tumours on the brain .
Miles found Dr Joe dispenza about 3/more years ago .
Miles practiced meditation and still does about 8 hours a day. Miles connected at one of Joe dispensers shows about two and a half years ago . In my 2018 miles still had 7 tumors on the brain in September he had another scan and got the all clear in December he had another scam and he got seven tumours and a large edema back .
Why you ask , emotions keeping the Cancer alive he tried to run before he could walk , he's just got over a 3-year divorce battle , well it's not quite finalized yet this is why he hasn't healed himself again yet . Miles is worth a few quid and that's why he could afford to go to Jo dispensers shows he deserves that he earned it .
Anyway look up on the tube miles kanes testimonial .
When miles cures herself of cancer again then you all can eat your Hat π€
And when you get cancer let's here how your deal with it plz I bet you don't survive why cos morons don't . Sort ash but true . Take care 27 John doe . I'm Daren Wilson by the way I'm the carer for Miles Kane
And that's how you want about me I have been here for over a year and I've done everything nothing not taking any money I do it because I have compassion and belief I want to see the results and then I will enjoy myself as he will,

Miles has spent time in other countries with sugar masters brothers sharmans .
The hospital have never ever seen brain scans of miles capacity to light up the whole-brain orange . Have you ever seen that no because no one has . marks and Spencer hold so many times that you gonna die blah blah blah it's cancer is not a death sentence it's just a disease that can be cured with the right attitude .

And since Moses testimonial we could have quite easily died a few times in my arms I'm the carer Darren Wilson I do everything for nothing all I'd like to be discredited when miles finally kills himself credited for the work that I do for him encouragement when is on the low π I do not lie miles does not lie and went Joe dispenza talks about miles it's no lie.
I thank all the ones that do believe love and peace to you and hope for the rest .

DeleteYou're just another mystical woo pusher who thinks outing frauds is hating. The only people who play the ad nauseam don't judge card wouldn't know the author of the phrase. We will continue to expose new age frauds for what they are! FRAUDS!
DeleteLooks to me like GD totally understands Dispenza's work but I could be wrong. Please share with us what you understand in his work so that we can make a blanced evaluation. Merely disagreeing with a blog is not a refutation.
ReplyDeleteJust a very basic question - no prejudgments. Can anyone point to independent objective verification of the injuries sustained by the Dr and their severity?
ReplyDeleteLet me ask u religious people one thing....(paraphrasing) when Jesus said that with the faith of a mustard seed, we could move a mountain from here to there, or that we could do the same works as Him, meaning the miracles, did He really mean that or was He just bullshitting? If He really literally meant that, then healing thyself shouldn't be impossible, no?
ReplyDeleteGood response, excellent! There you have the right point. Remember that these fanatics can never understand logic, even if it is said in the Bible. They would find the way to debate it. They may say that Jesus did not mean it the way that you are interpreting it. For fanatics, all that is not within their frame of mind is "Satanic". Self-healing is "Satanic"; hypnosis is "Satanic"; meditation and Yoga are "Satanic"; New Age is "Satanic"; Buddhism is taboo and forbidden for fanatics. They run away from them for fear of being caught by Satan. You will never change the fanatic's mind as you will never change the psychotic, delusional mind.
DeleteSeems most here are sucessful world speakers that inspire others...or just trolls. ..when the ignorant have no argumemt they resort to personal attacks.

ReplyDeleteThank you to everyone who shared in this robust discussion. Whether you believe it's BS or not, you're right! Even the world-class skeptic Michael Shermer had a "mystical" experience on his wedding day. Anyone promoting connecting with love and the mystery of existence has my attention.
ReplyDeleteAsk any MD, place is the greatest gift to your body....and act it until you make it is true. You just have to convince yourself to do this and if you believe it, it will reflect on your environment. You dont need a neuro science degree for this...
ReplyDeleteWe know that our brain is wired like a software so when I listen to his talks it actually resonates with me. Much of the stuff he says makes total sense and I was told pretty much the same by my neuroscience md's (books state the same and I have read quite a few as I have had 2 brain surgeries. Its a fascinating world). Here is some info I have found on him. Biochemistry is a quite important subject matter to understand certain areas and one does not need read 100 books or perform surgeries to understand this. There are studies out there that support his ideas by the neuroscience community "the real one" as many of you call it.
ReplyDelete"Dr. Joe Dispenza, D.C., studied biochemistry at Rutgers University and also holds a B.S. degree with an emphasis in Neuroscience. ... His postgraduate education has been in neurology, neuroscience, brain function and chemistry, cellular biology, memory formation, and aging and longevity."
I practiced the method with his CDs for over six months. I developed crippling anxiety and didn't heal. I did it correctly and read extensively. Yes I created feeling good by thinking it but it soon went away when the meditation ended and was left with crippling anxiety. It just didn't work.
ReplyDeleteSmear campaign
ReplyDeleteYoiks! I was just at a mental health workshop, where one of this guy's videos was utilized. Rubbed me the wrong way. In a later video, I caught the "D.C." and suspected we were dealing in woo here. Googled him and...confirmed!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to study Quantum Mechanics, get a degree in Physics. If you want to study neurology, ditto! [Needless to say: at real, accredited universities]
If you want to do neither...OK get a degree in Chiropractic, and crack necks. But seriously, stay out of physics and neurology?
[My respect for this mental health faculty I experienced today, just declined.]
Now, since this guy apparently has some fans (remembering the root of that term), bring on the flames...
i find your post and its tone extremely interesting. i myself have no scientific background and learned meditation from indian yogis thirty years ago. i just mention this so you have a reference from where i am coming from.
ReplyDeletehere is what i find interesting. you seem extremely sure of what you are saying to the point of ad hominem attacking mr dispenza and it seems to me you feel backed up by science or scientific thinking.
now when i try to understand something i often look to its borders to see what is happening there. when it comes to our current understanding of the world by means of scientific thinking two things come to mind, the LHC in cern and kurt gΓΆdel. from what i learn one of the hopes of the LHC's recent series was to get a glimpse about the graviton and from what i heard as well is there is a seriously debated theory that the graviton might only appear weak in our four dimensional world, but is much more powerful in other dimensions as postulated eg in string theory.
second thought is on goedel who, on merely 27 pages, put an end to the notion that mathematics can ever be complete and consistent.
and if i add a third glimpse at the border of science i would add that it is seriously debated now among scientists whether we live in a simulation and if at the core of our world is actually ... code.
in the light of all of this, i find it utterly, utterly interesting when people are so sure of their opinion that they feel entitled to call other people names, who claim there are things outside of our current understanding by means of science, because it seems to me these things are seriously discussed right now by well reputed science themselves.
i think the world is full of charlatans, but from eye witness accounts it seems that mr dispenza influenced a lot of lives for the better. i for one do not feel entitled to ridicule him.
Excellent reply. Thank you!
DeleteAgreed!
DeleteQuack Quack Quack...
ReplyDeleteI gave Joe Dispenza a fair shot by reading his book Becoming Supernatural. The conclusion I reached is that he is a charlatan, and I will tell you why. I am currently a medical student and have bachelor's degree in cognitive psychology. I can tell you that most of the "scientific" evidence he espouses to support his claims are either complete nonsense or a gross misunderstanding of basic principles. This is not surprising, as Dispenza is neither a PhD (neuroscientist) nor an MD, he is a "doctor" of chiropractic, which means he is not an expert in any of the fields he claims to know anything about. He doesn't even have an understanding of basic biology. For instance, in Becoming Supernatural he claims that "Nature does not evolve anything it doesn't use" and since most of our DNA doesn't code for anything, it must be possible to tap into that unused DNA to do pretty much whatever we want. This is completely false. As anyone who passed high school biology will tell you, a vast majority of our DNA is redundant because it acts as a protection mechanism against deletions, insertions and other mutations that can significantly alter the functioning of our body. This is just one of many examples where Dispenza makes baseless claims and misunderstands scientific principles. Another piece of "evidence" he cites is Kirlian photography, which is a way to generate special photographs using voltage applied to a photographic film. He claims that these pictures "prove" that every living thing has an aura which we can use to diagnose health or illness. This is another false claim that has already been debunked long before this book came out. The "aura" generated by these images is nothing more than moisture which creates coronal discharges on the plate. Using this as evidence to support his claims is at best ignorant and at worst, a deliberate lie. A glance at his works cited section shows that many of the papers he cites are either unpublished in reputable journals, published in "alt-medicine" journals that are not endorsed by the medical community, or are simply his own seminars. Yes, he uses his own seminars as evidence of his claims. That alone should tell you enough about him. Charging people thousands of dollars for his workshops, endless plugging his products in his books, and scrubbing the internet of any negative reviews are just a few examples of how this man makes money. There is a reason he has no Wikipedia page. Please do yourself a favor and waste none of your time on this quackery.
ReplyDeleteThanks, rational response.
DeleteIf this guy has influenced people for the better -- but who knows whether this is really true? -- good for them! this does not mean he isn't a crackpot and fabulator who meets poor fragile people gets money from them and these feel better as they have something - namely nothing -- to hang on

ReplyDeleteJoe's defenders might find this interesting. It comes across as one of the most honest critiques, and from someone who would otherwise been notionally inclined to buy in to Dr. Joe.
It's not that Dr. Joe has an alternate viewpoint or that his approach is "impossible" or should be ruled out because it deals with medicine from a non-allopathic approach.
However, it's disconcerting that, while there is nothing wrong with Chiropractic accreditation, it's not at all related to the neuroscience and quantum mechanics "expertise" that he pushes. The use of "Dr." in this context is to attempt to imply a medical level of expertise or a PhD level of hard-science (neuroscience, quantum science) learning and rigour - which simply cannot be inferred from his actual credentials.
His approach is virtually in lockstep with pseudoscience. There is no reason why his claims should not be subject to, and demonstrate rigour. in fact, given his "non-traditional" findings, one would expect extra effort in providing rigour, confirmable claims and some methodology for testing
Same bafflegab, different face.
