Online Journalism: People pay for therapy all the time, but would you pay money for a session with someone you never meet, never see and never hear? Michael Mohoric of Laguna Niguel, Calif. operates a Web site that offers distant energy healing for $99 a month. Clients are told to lie in bed or sit in a chair for an hour every Wednesday evening and receive the healing energy Mohoric says he sends throughout the world. Is this real or just a placebo? It depends on who you ask. Shin, Allan, and Louie produced a segment for News21.
Shin shared her thoughts on the story in a blog entry.
