Faith Healers Are Back, and They’re Getting Rich
Published By admin with Comments 0
LOUIS, A LIFE COACH from San Diego, was dying of late-stage pancreatic cancer in 2020. His wife, Mary, tended to him with worried love. He was only forty-four years old.
Mary told us how she helped him with medications, food, and appointments. She admired and supported his resilience and good nature. But she also grew increasingly irked by Louis’s fascination with Joe Dispenza, a former chiropractor who allows himself to be called a neuroscientist by the many alt-med platforms that host him and who promises followers they can cure their diseases through breath work and meditation.
Mary had always loved Louis’s credulity, his willingness to think the best of people. She trusted that he was getting some kind of relief she couldn’t quite name from this influencer she described as having a God complex. But it didn’t sit right.
