I just read that post back to myself, I didn't really convey my meaning well.
I meant that in order for this person to heal using meditation ALONE would take ALOT of energy and it is better if they supplement it with herbal or manual therapies.... I should read things back to myself before posting them sometimes.
There are a few good herbs for ED which include first and foremost Morinda flower, followed by Lucentious (horny) goat weed and more mildly Panax Ginseng. However it is important to note that the use of herbal therapies improperly can actually do more harm then good, and when choosing herbs it is important that one knows in which instances the herbs are contraindicated before knowing the full gammet of indications. All of the above herbs CANNOT be used if you have high blood pressure, or you are taking anti-depressants or blood thinning tablets.
Schizandra Berries are indicated for warm style erectile dysfunction (opposite of the list of symptoms I posted above) and are good if you are experiencing hot flushes, insomnia, night sweating (sweating when you sleep regardless of wether you sleep during the day or night) and lower back pain accompanying the ED. However they are indicated in cases where poor appetite is a factor and should be taken in small doses more frequently rather than large doses less often. Abdominal cramps whilst using them are an indication that they are doing more harm then good.
You do make a good point Shannon that there are many paths to healing, I started a working some years ago to heal my chronic shoulder pain which lead me to start a degree in Chinese Medicine and understand that it was not even my shoulder but my liver that needed work. The shoulder pain is long gone but the passion for healing has not dwindled.
On saying that though, there is definitely the capacity for people to heal using energy only but this depends on the extent and severity of the disease as well as the strength of the aura and concentration of the practitioner as well as (in my experience) the willingness (including subconscious unwillingness) and susceptibility of the patient.
