The Pied Piper is alive and well, the Snake Oil Salesman is coming to town.
EGADS, shame on the local paper for giving this person this huge amount of free publicity.
I would bet that the evening at the book store will end with a "Special Deal" if the attendees sign up to give him money for his "help".
Good luck, and again, shame on the Mountain View Voice.

George-
I wouldn't say he's exactly pushing snake oil. It's actually more aligned with a holistic medicine approach. Healthy skepticism is good, but there are certainly a number of conditions for which Western medicine is unable to offer any remedy.
Schneider, who now holds a Ph.D. in massage therapy, is not arguing for an abandonment of Western medicine. There is certainly a place for drugs, medical procedures and surgery, he says. His "big idea" has to do with his belief "that our potential for getting better (through self-healing) is much larger than what most people experience."

A good journalist would have interviewed and given us the views of physicians, preferably ophthalmologists who might have divergent views on this. A good editor would not have published this one-sided article without labeling as advertisement.
