Yes and yes .... even had them turn me round a couple of times so I didn't know which way I was pointing when I set off.Have you ever tried dowsing blind folded with someone to see the response? If so did it work?
There is a chap in a village near us, he practices healing with the dowsing method and has been running his practice for over 40 years. His results are astonishing.I'm only going to say this once and don't bother replying because I'm not going to give you any more oxygen to continue your rude dismissal of something that, whilst not fully understood, works.
Dowsing has been around for centuries ... it works for many things including finding lines of energy which do have an effect on and must be detectable by the bees. Just because you don't believe it there is no need to disparage those of us who have tried it and found that it does work.
There are plenty of previous threads that you can go through for your entertainment- no need to waste time polluting this one.
The human brain has sensory abilities that we do not yet fully comprehend - how often have you thought of a friend or relative only to have the phone ring and they are on th end - or switch on the radio to find you are already humming the tune that comes on. Why when driving across country to a particular place (prior to the advent of GPS) did I find myself stoppinng to ask for directions only to find I was a stones throw from my destination ? It happens to me all the time - Coincidence ? Ideo-motor effect ? Random number theory ? Explain it as you see fit ... I just accept that, sometimes, things work or happen and they cannot be explained, at present, by science.
Animals, birds, insects, fish, even microbes and spores have sensory abilities that we cannot currently explain - whilst it would be terribly arrogant to suggest that Humans are superior in intellect to some of these creatures it does beg the thought that, as we are descended from creatures that appear to have superior senses to humans now, whether in the process of Darwinian development, we left some of these abilities behind but retain vestiges of them that are there but latent ? Perhaps in some people who are nearer in gene development to our ancestors than those further along the Darwinian path ? I certainly claim no superior powers ... just the opposite in fact - a regressive brain perhaps open to channelling senses I cannot control or even consider functionally ?
All I ask is that we respect each other's opinions without attempting to dissect them ad nauseam.That's all I ask.

And there is still no scientific explanation as to why it works ... the nearest I've seen is this:Who knows?
Take acupuncture. The Chinese have been using this for centuries. We westerners are fairly new to it
I have explored acupuncture. I have seen it in use on animals who are not open to much auto suggestion I would hazard.And there is still no scientific explanation as to why it works ... the nearest I've seen is this:
" Each acupuncture needle produces a tiny injury at the insertion site, and although it’s slight enough to cause little to no discomfort, it’s enough of a signal to let the body know it needs to respond,” Kempisty says. “This response involves stimulation of the immune system, promoting circulation to the area, wound healing, and pain modulation. Contemporary research on acupuncture relies mainly on this theory. "
But... it is a theory ... so a little bit of pain causes the body to completely ignore an awful lot of pain ?
Same principle as homeopathy - where a tiny dose of something that is causing the problem causes the body to react with a sledgehammer response ...
So much we really don't know enough about and we have to face the nay-sayers crying 'never mind the evidence where is the proof ?' ad infinitum.
Ah now I do have a problem with some of that. It’s the “memory of water” aspect and that the smaller the dose (even none) the more effective it is.And there is still no scientific explanation as to why it works ... the nearest I'v

I'm not. Too bloody old for anybody to be interested in anything I write. My kids are like that too and so is my current car insurance company, AXA, who received a claim by an idiot last September that I had bumped them and injured somebody over 40 miles away where I haven't ever been in my life let alone in lockdown. Now I can't get quotes for renewal until the data base record of my misdemeanor is corrected - except from AXA of course who seem intent of giving the other party even more time to submit the evidence they don't have and have bumped my renewal premium up by £50 or so and still asking me to prove my innocence!! Bar-stewards. Not submitting to their blackmail even if car is off the road for a while and so have made a case to the Insurance Ombudsman so watch this space. Can always use my thumb to get a lift from neighbours.Great minds think alike!![]()
I accept that some of the homeopathy extremes are hocus pocus but I've seen super results in my dogs from Chris Day .. who practices a wide range of alternative treatments ... and the ones he used on my dogs had remarkable effects when traditional steroid and other veterninary treatments just made matters worse. He has such a wide range of case studies over the many years he has been practising that it is difficult to argue with some of the treatments he uses. (Including acupuncture)Ah now I do have a problem with some of that. It’s the “memory of water” aspect and that the smaller the dose (even none) the more effective it is.
Every drop of water in the planet has been all over the place since the Earth came into being. That cup of coffee you’re drinking has been through a good few people already. It must have a great deal of memory.
Yes I used to send dogs and cats with Atopy to Chris. Nice to hear he is still practicingI accept that some of the homeopathy extremes are hocus pocus but I've seen super results in my dogs from Chris Day .. who practices a wide range of alternative treatments ... and the ones he used on my dogs had remarkable effects when traditional steroid and other veterninary treatments just made matters worse.

He is a super bloke, he has a remarkable way with animals - one of our dogs loathed visits to a conventional vet to the point where we had to try and find different routes to get there - when we took him to Chris he used to treat Chris as a long lost friend. When we first went to Chrsi it was with a high degree of sceptism ... we had a labrador with a dreadful skin condition that a number of vets and a specialist could not cure .. indeed, some of the things they did made matters much worse.Yes I used to send dogs and cats with Atopy to Chris.

I think I did but am not interested in letting AXA loose on anything now. They have been fiddling around fort over 6 months after assurances by mail and phone that they would ensure that they would " protect my interests" in the dispute (what dispute - I haven't done anything?) and so RENEWAL WITH THEM IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. I have analysed my mileage against my credit card statement and Google Maps mileages covering the period in question and am happy that my car cannot possibly have flown that distance without me being there. In any case I have some far better offers waiting for me to accept when AXA get their fingers out and correct the adverse notation about me.Infuriating! Do you pay an extra premium for 'legal protection'? That's meant to help you in these circumstances. I've coughed up for legal protection on car and house insurance for umpteen years but never used it.

Write to the Daily Telegraph /Daily Mail Agony Aunts - the DT's Finance one is very good - that should put a rocket under AXA.

Thanks everybody - I am enjoying this fracas with AXA actually - bar stewards. keeps me ticking over.Or, if you don't like the right-wing press, try the Guardian. The Times is also acceptable.
