Paranormal health claims.

Faith in paranormal cures has always been the last hope of many sufferers from chronic or incurable diseases. Magico-religious rituals of healing are still around, but some have been replaced by pseudo-scientific systems, thinly disguising old superstitions in new obscurantism, more appealing to the half-educated. In medical quackery, inventiveness seems to be limitless, and only the main paranormal healing systems can be reviewed here. The increasing popularity of 'alternative' healing indicates the extent of dissatisfaction with dehumanising aspects of modern, technological medicine and its preoccupation with curing the curable at the expense of caring for the incurable. This leaves the sufferers, and also healthy people labelled with non-existent diseases, bleeding prey for the sharks roving the seas of medical ignorance.

Paravertebral injections of local anaesthetics (procaine hydrochloride, frequencly in combination with other substances) may damage cervical or lumbosacral nerve roots, depending on the site of injection. Five such iatrogenic lesions are described. Paravertebral injections of local anaesthetics also carry the risk of irreversible paraplegia and such treatment should therefore not be given in the cervical and lumbar segments.
