The professor after the healer’s outburst about cancer: “Unbelievable, gross quackery”

In neo-spiritual circles, it is not uncommon to try to find explanations for illnesses other than physiological ones. Therefore, some also believe that diseases are something we ourselves invite into our bodies for a reason, for example to end life prematurely according to plan, or to teach those around us a lesson. Energy healer Anders Knutas claims in Kalla fakta’s program “Enticed to suicide” that children who have cancer have chosen it themselves. “The ideas are completely insane” Something that makes Mats Lekander, researcher and professor of health psychology, react strongly. – The ideas are completely insane. Blame is a very serious issue, that you transfer responsibility for illness to people who are already suffering, says Mats Lekander.
