WOMAN: I've just been reading an article on biotherapy. MAN: Biotherapy? What's that? WOMAN: Well, it's an alternative health system based on the concept that energy is transmitted from one human being to another in order to heal psychologically or physically through regeneration. MAN: Say that again, in English. WOMAN: Well, I'll put it this way. A trained practitioner touches the patient in order to help the healing process. MAN: Oh, I see. What kinds of things do they cure? WOMAN: A variety of conditions and illnesses. According to the article, biotherapy can cure nicotine addiction, help people to lose weight, stop headaches, make ageing skin look youthful again, treat depression, even cure cancer. MAN: Cure cancer? That's a pretty ambitious claim. So how does the treatment work? WOMAN: It works as a catalyst for cell renewal and expels negative energy from the organism. MAN: I don't think that such a woolly explanation would stop me from taking proper medicine if I were unlucky enough to be ill. WOMAN: No ... well, that's the beauty of it. You can have conventional medicine together with biotherapy. Fanq' going for a bioenergetic check up? MAN: Well, I'm not so sure about that. Supposing you book an appointment and I come with you first, just to see?
