My own belief is that the idea that there are "bad pamors" is a misunderstanding. There may perhaps be pamors which are not quite suited to every individual, but i don't think that a pamor pattern would be made if it wasn't positive and useful for somebody.
I think Buntel Mayit gets it's bad rap because it has been interpreted to mean "death shroud" (very heavy metal ). There are other whose opinions i respect who have told me that this should really be Buntel Mayat and really means "slanted wrapping".
