It's because it undermines your immune system!
EDIT: This thread is satire.
I tried it. It worked. Time and again.. for my entire family. I don't really care about what the research says because it worked for us without any side affects. Our colds, fevers and diarrhoeas are cured in a maximum of 2-3 days with the mildest symptoms. My kids fall sick far lesser than our neighbors' kids. Now why should I be bothered whether it is placebo, pseudoscience or whatever name sceptics want to give it. I am a non-religious person and don't believe in anything without experiencing it. Neither do I claim that whatever I do not perceive or understand the nature of is all trash.
I was a skeptic but then I used it for a bad cold. I am now a believer.

The psychomanteum was popularized by Raymond Moody, originator of the term near-death experience, in his 1993 book, Reunions: Visionary Encounters with Departed Loved Ones. Raymond Moody believed the psychomanteum was useful as a tool to resolve grief. The chamber was kept darkened and illuminated only by a candle or a dim light bulb. Subjects gaze into the reflected darkness hoping to see and make contact with spirits of the dead. Moody compared the psychomanteum to the Greek Necromanteion, and said its function was a form of scrying.
Raymond A. Moody, Jr. (born June 30, 1944) is a philosopher, psychologist, physician and author, most widely known for his books about life after death and near-death experiences (NDE), a term that he coined in 1975 in his best-selling book Life After Life. Raymond Moody's research purports to explore what happens when a person dies. He has widely published his views on what he terms near-death-experience psychology.
