For the sake of reference, I added the wikify tag on this article because of the Books and recordings section. Books should be referenced with their ISBNs, publisher, etc., according to the style manuals.

Which institutions awarded her degrees?RJFJR 00:20, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

• According to this link, "Caroline Myss holds a doctorate in 'intuition and energy medicine' from Greenwich University in Hilo, Hawaii." And according to this Australian government webpage, "To our knowledge, Greenwich University has never been accredited by any recognised government accreditation authority to deliver higher education awards." Until further information comes to light, it is not appropriate for Wikipedia to claim that Myss holds any degrees. Snottygobble 00:51, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Further investigation yields this page, with the text "Myss has a master’s degree in theology from Mundelein College — a Roman Catholic school north of Chicago. She has a doctorate in philosophy from the College of Energy Medicine at Greenwich University, a “distance learning” facility with no legitimate accreditation" and this page with the text "She has a Ph.D. in Intuition and Energy Medicine from Greenwich University, a M.A. in Theology from Mundelein College, and a B.A. Journalism from St. Mary's of the Woods College." I will update the article. Snottygobble 01:28, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removing prod

I am going to remove the prod. I confess a strong personal bias against Myss, as against other people who claim to hold degrees when unaccredited, as against other people who claim to be experts in fields that don't exist. But the fact is a member of my household owns three of her books, and Arbustoo's claim that the books are unpublished is inaccurate.[2] On those grounds I think she is notable enough to have an article, or at least to have her notability tested through AfD.

[edit] She no longer does readings

To me, this also takes away from her credibility. I think this should be mentioned in the article. If I were a fake and making money off of books based on my alleged experiences, I'd probably avoid activities that could prove my experiences to be false. I'm not alleging this of her at all, just saying that not doing readings is very convenient.--24.167.191.204 10:13, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
