Jack was a self-styled "homeopathic dowser healer" whose clients included Diana, Princess of Wales, the Duchess of York, the model Jerry Hall, and the ex Prime Minister's wife, Cherie Booth.
Review of a dowsing break from the Evening Standard: "I had come prepared to spend the weekend stalking about in fields, dowsing for water and healing herbs and generally drawing energy (but not, hopefully, too much radiation) from the good earth.
The reality proved somewhat different. The weekend was almost entirely spent in a lecture room, watching the indefatigable Jack demonstrating his healing skills and explaining the theories behind them. These partly involve stone circles, which Jack believes map out the segments of the human brain and provide the key to treating all parts of the body. He told us how to build our own circle - modelled on the pattern of ancient sites - in the back garden.
The idea is that you wait three years and then harvest the grass from each segment (which represent the heart, bones, etc) at full moon. Then you use it to "potentise" small white sugar tablets (in a little battery-operated box of Jack's own devising, which transfers energy from one bottle to another). The tablets are then stuck onto a strip of tape and secured to any part of the body that is giving you gyp. "
Two newspaper articles, one from 2000, one from 2002 investigating Cherie Booth's connections to the site, and one reporting Jack's death in 2004.
