Day +433 : Finally, the father of detoxification landed in court (4)

I am fine today. Continue from Day +431...

Another factor for alternative health advocates to become widely accepted is that they are generally very good public speaker. They are either pushing their health approaches multilevel marketing (MLM) or had been in the business before. In addition to this, they might also be motivation speakers before. This is the case for this “professor”. If I were not mistaken, he was involved in MLM and motivation business before switching to talking about health. One reader commented on my Day +430 blog that the “professor” could speak alone for a 3 days 2 nights camp. Apart from this, he could also present his facts very fluently – blending it with Bible teachings and testimonies – that if affects the ability of one to judge properly.

One last thing I must clarify is that I believe he is sincere in what he advocates. His motive might be good – helping people – and he must believe that what he advocates does work. To this extent, I still regard him as a brother in Christ. One the other hand, we must know that sincerity could be wrong. When something is wrong, it’s wrong; there is no way for sincerity or good motive to right a wrong.

Most of the time, our family members, friends or relatives were sincere to introduce us some heath products or practices because they wanted us to get healthier. Unfortunately, very often they just say what other people say; without putting enough effort to analyze whether the concepts or theories behind them are reasonable. In the end, they might mislead us indirectly. However, we do not have to be upset should we experience this, they are just “wrong sincerely ”. We should still be happy as there are someone who concern about our well being. :-)

See you next post :-)
