Should the ability to trigger psychic, gnostic, mystic experiences in oneself or an other be regulated by the FDA?

There's an individual who refers to his ability as a "secret" technology.

This technology seems "invisible" and cannot be measured, but can be experienced as altered states of awareness and experiences of spontaneous illumination.

This technology relies on others participation, but not conscious participation, and yet once another is aware of it, they can consciously choose not to participate.

This technology is capable of accelerating ones cognitive abilities at a rate that might seem alarming to some, and greatly enlightening to others.

It is not hypnosis, and ones health on many levels is greatly improved by regular experiences.

Should it be regulated, and could it be regulated?

Why and how?

Some feel that any device capable of altering the user’s awareness and perception of reality must be labeled as a drug and controlled by the FDA.

Update:

healer and trainer, no charge unless you feel compelled.

    No this would be a stretch for the jurisdiction of FDA, but since they managed to ban psychedelics , they will surely attempt to twist their reasoning to control such devices.

    Personally I think these should be left at the discretion of the user, who consents to have such alteration. Freedom of consicousness.

  • FDA should and would like to control each crumb of life because every experience alters awareness and perception.

    FDA ought just label, not forbid anything: this would a way to free human beings.

    Anyway who is that individual healer or coach?

    And does he ask for money for his work or just let everybody choose how much to pay?

    Thanks!
