“OK, so I put my hands over the map and there was an area where
my hand was getting a lot of tingling.” That was the spot he was

Under the calming, low light of Bonnie Mori’s clinic, surrounded by shelves packed with vials of homeopathic remedies and crystals, a visitor could catch a breath and unload his troubles.

Behind a large desk, a wall adorned with certificates announced Bonnie’s credentials as a healer. Alex Christoff sat and told her his story of how a hunting mishap decades ago left a phantom knife in his spine that he could never remove. Surgery didn’t work. “Nothing could repair it,” recalled his nephew Rick Christoff. It was 2001 and Alex, then 72, was looking for hope.

Later that year, as one of the clinic sessions ended, Bonnie said she had something else to offer Alex, Christoff would later recount to his nephew.
