Author's new book is "weapon against pornography"
A DORSET author has written two books to help victims of child sex abuse and warn of the dangers teenagers face from pornography.
Wilma Davidson, 77, has been a healer and therapist for 20 years and often helped patients deal with the trauma of sexual abuse and addiction to pornography.
The grandmother-of five has written a number of books over the last few years, including those on dowsing and healing, and was looking for a subject for her next book when she discovered several of her acquaintances had been abused as children.
While researching for her book Tears and Fears, described as a helpful guide for the families and victims of child sex abuse, date rape and trafficking, Wilma said she was also alerted to the issues of internet pornography.
She then went on to write The Porn Plague, which looks at the damage to the health of teenagers from watching internet pornography.
Wilma, from Walkford, said: “I wrote this book to be used as a weapon against hardcore pornography.
“It’s a deathly honest account of the possible damage to the emotional, physical and mental health of teenagers, linked to regularly viewing pornography.
“The ever growing flood of pornography is certainly not good for the sexual health of many teenage boys and girls who are at an impressionable age and are a significant section of the future adult population.”
She added that steps should be taken to ensure “tomorrow’s adult population” did not get addicted to pornography so it influenced their feelings, thinking or reasoning.
Both books are available from publisher EMP3Books. com, Barnes & Noble, Ingram Book Group and Amazon.

Is it illustrated?
Is softcore OK then?
What sort of research underpins her theories?
If I wrote a book would the Echo give me a link to the publishers/shops? Surprised there isn't a 'buy now' button.
Is this OK for starters?

For context, another of this ladies books is called "Spirit Rescue: A Simple Guide to Talking with Ghosts and Freeing Earthbound Souls". Her husband will take 160 of your British Pounds to 'clear entities remotely'. Presumably 160 entities from your bank account?

A very serious subject worthy of evidence based approach and scientific rigour.

An experienced exorcist, she is a well known member of the Spirit Release Foundation, and is regularly called to help rescue lost spirits, and write articles for magazines on this fascinating subject.'
What a pedigree! Can only assume she has a sympathetic ear on the Echo staff for this publicity. The woman is clearly a box of frogs.

The woman's ego is out of control. Still if you do not know what anal bleaching is you can find out in her book. Mind you wasn't that on Channel 4 or 5 a few years back?

Looking at **** might be a waste of time I guess, but then so is watching the X-factor. It might also offend the sensibilities of those who think there are harmful effects of ****.
Except for if you want to follow a religion (of your own free will of course), what possible genuine reasons could there be to avoid ****?
