What exactly does that mean? Does he actually have a job working as a "molecular biologist"?<br />
Adam, through personal communications, says that he indeed earned a B.Sc. (1st Class Honors) from Simon Fraser University.<br />
Is he pursuing a graduate degree in "molecular biology" at any recognized institution of higher learning? I don't know, he didn't tell me. When I graduated from a noted university with a major in zoology, I didn't call myself a "zoologist". When I was accepted into a graduate program in sociology, I didn't call myself a "sociologist". So, what does Adam McLeod really mean when he tells his flock that he's a "molecular biologist"?<br />
Some web sites say that he is studying naturopathy. If so, where is he enrolled?<br />
Has McLeod published ANY scientific studies in "molecular biology"? The only evidence that I could find on the record is that <a href="http://www.sfu.ca/~mpaetzel/Personnel.html">he volunteered for a few months at a laboratory</a> at Simon Fraser University. <br />
Calling oneself a "molecular biologist" is not the same as having graduated from a university with a degree with a major in "molecular biology". If Adam McLeod's followers really believe that he has credentials as a "molecular biologist", then let's see proof that he is either a graduate student in that field or that he is employed in a facility or company that is doing that kind of research.<br />
Lastly, how were his recent presentations in Toronto, and Vancouver covered in the press?<br />

It's really unfortunate that it would appear that the inquisitive minds at the CBC have been too busy to care about the fact that Dreamhealer is nothing more than a manipulative non-faith based non-healer who has zero credibility<br />
<br />
How the hell did George Stroumboulopoulos ever get to the point in his life when all his staff did was to quote from one of Adam's book jackets. "Gifted energy healer" indeed.<br />
<br />
This university student has been primed by forces that only he knows to continue his gig of mesmerizing audiences with bizarre claims and stage theatrics. If Adam truly believes that he can cure cancer by looking at a fax or picture of somebody across a continent then he has problems.<br />
<br />
If, and that is what I believe, he is lying to the public about his powers to heal or to empower others to heal themselves then I'd like to ask him to step forward and present the evidence.

<br />
This is what the CBC has to say the day before the broadcast from Vancouver:<br />
<br />
The Dream Healer<br />
<br />
Ronnie Hawkins had cancer, then one day, it was gone. How did it happen? Hawkins attributes his miracle to one man, Adam the DreamHealer.<br />
