Gays unaware of manhood due to wrong breathing, controversial Turkish therapist claimed
ISTANBUL
A Turkish breathing therapist who recently made headlines for saying Atheists do not believe in God "because they do not know how to breathe correctly" previously said gay people also do not know how to breathe.
In an interview with Sabah newspaper in 2012, Nevşah Fidan Karamehmet, a self-claimed breathing therapist, had claimed that gay people were not able to realize their manhood because they did not breathe correctly.
“None of them [gay people] breathe from the abdomen. So they cannot notice their manhood, energy and strength,” she had said.
Speaking on the private broadcaster CNN TÜRK on Dec. 18, Karamehmet suggested Atheists had no breath in their rib cages for a reason related to “magnetic fields” there.
“Radical atheists come to my seminars. There are many serious researches conducted to find the relations between breathing and thinking. For example, atheists’ abdominal breathing is perfect but there is no breath in here,” she said, pointing at her rib cage. “There is a bulge in the rib cage. It is like there’s a stone in there.”
She claimed that hundreds of thousands of atheists who she conducted breathing exercises on in the end had said they found God.
“During our exercises, we focus especially on the body part that has difficulties breathing. When we fix the breathing problem, the mind has a revival. I know many who said in tears at the end of the seminars that they found God,” she said.
