I believe that Amon is not an energybender. I instead choose to believe that he is utilizing a combination of chi-blocking and psychology. He planted the idea that he could 'remove' bending, strengthened the idea with a more advanced, long-term chi-blocking method and let people's fear about his abilities reinforce the thought that they couldn't bend anymore after he did targeted them. We have seen that Amon is good at playing people, capable of inspiring fear and taking advantage of that fear. Additionally chi-blocking is stated to be have dark secrets and a long term surpression technique could possibly exist. As to why healers don't help a bender recover their bending, even Katara couldn't alleviate the effects of chi-blocking and we've never seen other healers try working on a victim's head or even a mentioning of an attempt.
