 I, David McNab, (david at rebirthing dot co dot nz) am the author of the original entry, and am an accredited rebirthing practitioner and trainer of ten years standing. While I accept now that the original version was not a NPOV, the present version that Rossami reverted to (thus erasing my edits of yesterday) does not reflect a NPOV either. 

 I refer especially to the paragraph beginning with ""This process can be dangerous..."". There have been no recorded fatalaties resulting from the practice of rebirthing, as the process is defined in the literature and taught in practitioner training courses. I repeat again that the media coverage of the death of Candace Newmaker inaccurately termed the 'therapeutic' techniques as 'rebirthing'. They were no more 'rebirthing' than Dr Kavorkian's homicidal conduct was 'modern mainstream medicine'. They are not taught, and are actively discouraged in, rebirthing practitioner training courses. This is borne out by the fact that the Colorado Legislature has omitted the word ""rebirthing"" from the Candace Newmaker Bill (which outlaws therapeutic techniques involving dangerous practices of physical restraint). 

 To Rossami - I must question your qualification in setting yourself up as a self-appointed censor with respect to this article. Have you completed a rebirther practitioner training? Have you personally undertaken any rebirthing sessions with an accredited practitioner? Have you even read any rebirthing textbooks such as ""Celebration of Breath"" (Sondra Ray), ""Rebirthing Made Easy"" (Colin Sisson), ""Rebirthing In The New Age"" (Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray)?? 

 I must ask that you desist from stamping your factual inaccuracies on this article. I am happy to work with you to arrive at an accurate and balanced treatment of the topic. But I am not willing to stand by while people deprecate a process which countless people credit for massively improving their health and quality of life. 

 Thank you for your understanding."
