In case you have categorized Harry Windsor as an ungrateful brat, you are entirely wrong! He did thank a lot of people – Ophra and Gwyneth Paltrow, for instance. No, I did not read Harry’s bestseller ‘SPARE’. But I did, of course, read the odd report about it simply because it is almost impossible to escape the current press hoo-ha about it.
Most of what I learned is of no interest to me. Some of it, I have to admit, made me concerned about Hary’s wellbeing – after all, we know that chronic drug-taking can severely affect one’s mental health! However, one recent article in Newsweek managed to reassure me on that score:
Among the “professionals, medical experts, and coaches” thanked by the prince for “keeping me physically and mentally strong over the years,” is John Amaral, a Los Angeles-based chiropractor, energy practitioner, author and educator. Amaral is known for his self-developed “energy flow formula,” which combines body and energy work to include mindfulness, meditation and breathing.
This sounded sufficiently relevant for me to look up Amaral. This is what we learn from one website:
Dr. John Amaral is a holistic chiropractor that practices Network Spinal (NSA). This technique helps people release stored tension in their muscles and joints through gentle force adjustments, also known as entrainments. Instead of the traditional cracking or popping of bones that you’re used to seeing at chiropractic offices, John Amaral leverages different energetic intelligences to help people heal physically and emotionally.
Another source tells us the following:
John Amaral is a chiropractor, energy healer and educator who works behind the scenes helping celebrities, entrepreneurs, pro athletes and influencers elevate their energy so they feel and perform their best. John has worked with thousands of people from over 50 countries. He is the Founder of Body Centered Leadership… How much do his sessions cost? According to the Wall Street Journal, a healing session with Amaral will run you $2,500.
And a third website informs us that:
Amaral works with what he calls the “subtle energy body”, which is the energy field around the body that can extend around 3 to 8 feet from the physical body. His work is primarily focused on shifting the tension state of the body and help in freeing up bound-up energy that’s held in different parts of the body. He accesses the energy around the body to achieve this.
In case you have not yet got the drift, take a look at this video; impressive isn’t it?
Yes, Amaral is not cheap but he must be worth it! And because he is such a genial healer, I am confident that we can all relax now knowing that Harry’s health is in such good hands. Personally, I am thrilled by Harry’s hint that there might be a second book in the offing – one with the really dirty linen. I think I might actually buy that one, now that I know how badly he needs the money for keeping healthy.
I guess “Dr” Amaral, by his new and different method, then, writes off and/or condemns all other chiropractic?
I’m willing to pay to NOT read “Spare”……
Perhaps this isn’t the right thread for it, being somewhat tangentially about chiropractic, but I came across this report about a man who had strokes and artery dissection by simply turning his head abruptly…

I read at the conclusion of Amaral’s article that, above all, you also need to have an open mind in these treatments. But also an open wallet I guess.
… a mind that is so wide open that your brain falls out!
Strangely, those ‘open minds’ are never open to the notion that they may be wrong …
Open enough to spend a lot of time reading various studies on all manner of claimed therapies only to discover yet again that they are deeply flawed and provide no evidence for their claims. And then to do it again when yet another report makes the same claims with the same lack of evidence.
I would call that open minded beyond the call of duty.
The apple apparently doesn’t fall far from the tree, does it?
Another Windsor is neck deep in woo, who’d’a’thunk it?
I think you are referring to the King, but Mum Diana was also very into the woo (as you probably know). I guess Harry would have a hard time escaping it. Megan is also heavily invested in the woo. But hey, so is almost every person I meet. Indeed, I am almost shocked when I meet someone who actually professes to not have any time for “all that crap” as one new acquaintance delightfully uttered. There is an absolute marketing frenzy in the US for all things woo. Every market, however small, carries supplements and potions including homeopathy and every food label includes marketing claims that are based on, well…nothing. Gluten free! says the oatmeal, Non GMO! says the can of green beans (almost NO food for humans is produced in the US). No MSG! says almost everything.
I wonder the origin of “as Amaral’s technique has helped thousands of individuals, including celebrities and athletes.”
Is Amaral any good with frost bite to nether regions? Asking for a friend.
Chiropractors can cure everything, according to their elite facebook researchers. They literally have millions of likes in peer review research on facebook.
