Got this series of emails from a victim of a con man defending him, but refusing to name him.

I am beyond disgusted with an outrageous thread slandering and destroying completely the reputation of a particular Shaman. I find it criminal that despite your terms and conditions, you allow people to write absolute tripe, lies, and vicious opinions about someone only doing their best to serve others, with no right to reply, not counter opinions permitted in this Shaman’s defence. You, and your contributors should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves. What right have you to keep in the public realm an incident that is 20 years old, that destroyed this individual? So anyone looking for Shamanic healing may come across this and avoid his services, because like you and your contributors, they may not understand the nature of ancient healing and wisdom. Is your life so perfect that you’ve never acted wrongly? Who in life doesn’t deserve a second chance? HOW DARE YOU. This level of mockery and abuse I would expect of a serial rapist or paedophile, but not this.
When you point the finger, 3 fingers are pointing back at you. You invite karma and divine retribution. This is as vile as a pack of dogs being let loose upon a baby fox, I’ve never read anything so sickening.
By the way, with Shamanic healing on this level, YOU ONLY GET WHAT YOU HAVE SPIRITUALLY EVOLVED & BEEN HUMBLE ENOUGH TO RECEIVE, NOTHING MORE, so these posts say more about the idiots writing them, than the medicine. There are no get out of jail free cards with true healing, it demands a dark night of the soul, a stripping down of your ego, and full integration and that is why I am so enraged by this. However, any vulnerable or desperate person looking for healing could easily be put off this Shaman, which he does not deserve.
Yes, it is true he made a grave error as a young, naïve man, but who are any of these clowns to judge who he really is, the level of dedication in his work and so on.
Along with my private trauma consultant, he has saved my soul and my life and I am honoured and humbled that these two men have given me so much in terms of extraordinarily powerful healing. But guess what? I bloody well earnt every shred of it, having had a life of [redacted] that you cannot imagine, plus a 25 year chronic disease that along with trauma left me at death’s door, courtesy of criminal psychopaths.
I was directed to this post by another person who is undergoing healing with this Shaman, so far very successfully, but who is intensely vulnerable and very ill at the moment. This person was stable, was improving, was able to do more rather than being disabled, barely getting through the day in severe, crippling pain. Now this person is in a terrified mess, falling back into addiction because trust has been thrown up into the air by this thread, and I’m calming them down. Who the hell is anyone to judge another’s path if they have not experienced it, if they have not walked in those shoes, if they have no idea what formed that person, the lessons, hardships and traumas.
Tell me where on earth do people with such abused lives or complex disease go for effective healing? Certainly not allopathic medicine or the NHS, certainly not any of the 230 therapists and alternative practitioners I was forced to try out over 25 years, in desperation to save my life. Drugs don’t heal, they are only a sticking plaster, and why shouldn’t people have a cure? All other practitioners did in their arrogance, ignorance was fail me. Some were nice, professional, good people, but hadn’t a damn clue how to handle my load or anyone like me, or frankly even someone with a chronic disease, or moderate trauma. I’ve been subject myself to further abuse at the hands of several doctors and GPs on the NHS, who simply resorted to ridicule or subtle even once, misogynistic put downs, if a patient doesn’t shut up, take the pills, pull themselves together and go away.
The level of ignorance you permit to be vomited up on this page, which day in day out to any potential client repeatedly destroys this man’s reputation and ability to earn enough of a living to survive is heinous and disgraceful. You owe him, me and anyone who has read that page desperately looking for help a heart felt apology, but that depends on whether you’ve the decency to do the right thing.
I am no gullible fool but can spot them. On that thread there was a person that rightly wrote with intelligence and clarity about the dangers of narcotics etc, that is the responsible thing to see on a website or thread like this. Another merely listed and slandered a list of Shamanic or healer types lumping in the good with the bad, and some are criminal like John of God. You should give a damn, and care, otherwise allowing this makes your whole website nothing but toxic, vile, ignorant abuse, on the level of a public hanging for the town to witness and mock. You should remove this post.
If you respond to me appropriately, asking which post (if you don’t already know), I will tell you, but for now I hope you take a long hard look at exactly what you are doing on this website, and the consequences of allowing such nonsense without any balance.

And this follow up, a semi apology:
Further to my previous email, I read your home page and completely support, understand and sympathize with your true aspirations. I am humbled by that wish to genuinely inform and safeguard others from abuses, because I completely agree that there are many fraudsters, psychopaths, even criminals that prey upon the vulnerable, and ANY healer should be held to the highest levels of ethics, standards and humility.
I wish to apologize for how hard-hitting, and angry my email was. It kills me inside what has been done to indigenous peoples across the world, the inflictions of pain, trauma, the destruction of souls and lives, the child sacrifice particularly of native or indigenous children by the wicked, ignorant and selfish actions of others. There aren’t enough words to express that outrage, this world has become utterly polarized and much evil or Wetiko is being revealed for those with eyes to see.
However, whilst I agree with the essence of all you’ve said, I am still very upset by the unbridled, unmeasured abuse heaped upon a particular healer by different contributors. Any genuinely valid points, which are most needed and I welcome that, but the good points get lost in the free for all that are sickening.
This whole world needs to evolve drastically, and the precious value of ancient wisdom and healing ways I very much hope finds it’s rightful place and is fully restored, and I wish justice for all native peoples, to empower them rightfully. I am nothing, just a random woman who nearly lost her life more than once to trauma and inflicted abuse, but I really, really do care about what is right and socially just. I have made many mistakes in my life too, I have many faults, but see life as a spiritual journey. I apologize for any offence I may have caused for my anger.
Sarah
