France - Secret of Sarkozy's stamina
The secret of French President Nicolas Sarkozy's boundless energy lies in an alternative therapist who massages his back and sends him “positive energy waves”, according to a new book on the man known as the 'hyper-President'. Sarkozy, who will be 54 later this month, has been treated by therapist Jean-Paul Moureau — known by his patients as 'Moureau the guru' — for 15 years with his special technique of 'manual therapy', says the book by journalist Patrice Machuret. Quoting from the book, The Sunday Times said Sarkozy's tirelessness — they call him the Duracell Bunny — has long been a subject of speculation and that in French political circles he is regularly accused of being “on something”, with theories ranging from amphetamines to cocaine.
Moureau is described as a practitioner of etiopathy — a system that pinpoints “the real cause of an illness” and treats it with manual therapy.
