Philippine Healer Medicine. Feedback on a trip to the healers in the Philippines, deception

News of miraculous healing without long ordeals in hospitals and doctors is increasingly coming from different parts of the world. Former terminally ill patients share their experiences and experiences, and also advertise Filipino healers, whose treatment has improved their health and extended their lives. Interest in them is fueled by tourists, journalists, researchers, scientists. They are trying to figure out what is happening and uncover the secret of their healing. Who is a healer? This will be discussed further.

Who are they?

By virtue of alternative medicine, shamans, healers always believed. From time to time, interest in them either waned or increased. This phenomenon is easily explained by the fact that those who are desperate to be cured by means of traditional medicine turn to healers (this is how the word “healer” is translated from English). Who are healers? Unlike clairvoyants and similar "healers", they use scientific knowledge, but perform all procedures with their hands, without using technical devices, devices and anesthetics. Analyzes and diagnostics are not carried out.

All traditional healers are divided into five categories. The former are treated with herbs and infusions. The latter introduce the patient into meditation and heal with prayers. Still others perform operations without a scalpel. The fourth group use magic and are similar to psychics. The fifth one practices regular massage. It is the treatment of injuries by Philippine healers that has become known throughout the world and is of great interest.

Some history and facts

Filipino healers have been known for a long time. Since the 30s of the last century, information about them began to spread around the world. She came to our country much later.

The most famous Filipino healer surgeon was Eleuterio Terte. His first operation took place in 1926. Instead of a scalpel, he used a knife. He performed operations with his bare hands, leaving no scars on his body. How he did it is still unknown to anyone.

Terte helped not only the local population, but also the American military. Soon director Ormond arrived in the Philippines. He was able to film the process of the operation and make a film, which was then shown in many countries. So Eleutherio became famous.

Since then, the activities of the Philippine healer have attracted the attention of scientists. Their opinions were divided: some believed that such operations could only be carried out with trained and dexterous hands, others recognized the presence of mysticism.

Physics professor Steller, who watched the progress for a long time medical procedure, rejected this version. He proved that the actions of the healer are not much different from the standard set of movements of an ordinary surgeon.

Later, Japanese professor of medicine Isamu Kimura joined the study. He did blood tests of patients before and after surgery. As a result of the study, it was found that the composition of postoperative blood had clots of inorganic origin. The doctor suggested that the disease materialized in lumps and left the body in this form. The healer himself confirmed his words: Eleutherio said that this is how the disease transforms into bad energy and leaves the human body.

The scientists published their research in articles, which led to the worldwide fame of Terte. Queues of patients, journalists, scientists and just curious onlookers began to line up to him. Entrepreneurial countrymen began to use the healer's popularity to boost the economy and founded a business industry. Now in the Philippine Islands you can find many offers from healer surgeons. Unfortunately, not all of them are real healers. Among them are many scammers who enjoy the trust of people, inspiring them with thoughts of recovery under the influence of hypnosis.

The opinion of journalists about the activities of healers

The journalists also decided to tell the whole truth about the Philippine healers. They tried to describe the life and work of healers based on their observation and communication experience. Some of them lived in the houses of healers and were present at all operations. They believe that healers have a gift that has so far been little studied and cannot be scientific explanation. Journalists saw how, after the usual hand massage, healers easily penetrate into a person and remove the affected parts of the organs from there. Patients do not feel anything during the operation. Perhaps they are under hypnosis, under the influence of some narcotic substances and drugs, or the power of self-hypnosis is triggered in very gullible and receptive people.

In addition to enthusiastic essays and stories about miraculous healings, journalists show the other side of the coin. In their articles, they talk about non-compliance with basic hygiene and sanitary conditions: traditional healers can wipe their hands on the same towel, do not wash their hands after each patient, and perform operations in the open air.

Reporters contacted some of the healed to find out if there was a blood poisoning or if the patient had received a new disease that could be transmitted to him. Oddly enough, but former patients did not find anything like this in themselves. Moreover, they felt much better. The exception was people who fell into the hands of charlatans: their condition worsened significantly.

Statistics say that about ninety percent of healer patients turned to ordinary doctors for help upon returning from the islands, since treatment from Filipino healers did not help them, and in some people the condition only worsened. Five percent of the patients were actually healed of serious ailments, and five percent were healed of a minor ailment that could be cured with improvised means.

The story of the healer Alex Orbito: the experience of healing

The articles of the famous Baku journalist Sharif Azadov tell about one of the famous healers - Alex Orbito. The journalist talked a lot with Alex, spending the whole day with him.

The healer's morning began with reading prayers and saturating the psychic centers with the energy that he spent during the operation. He did not work every day and only about an hour. He accepted only adults, he treated children with the help of manipulations, as he was afraid that his strength and experience were not enough. Alex admitted that he inherited his gift from his father, who was also a healer. Orbito began practicing at the age of sixteen when he discovered his abilities.

Patients Alex Orbito received in his operating room. It consisted of two rooms of different sizes, separated by a glass partition. Patients and everyone who wanted to see the operation could be present in the large room, and the sacrament itself took place in the small one. First, all those present in unison read the psalms. Then the healer appeared, and everyone fell silent. He took the Bible in his hands and read it for a long time. After the necessary mood, he approached his "medicines" - jars of oily liquids and cotton swabs - and "consecrated" them. Usually the healer was assisted by two nurses. By the way, they don’t have any uniform: they performed the operation in ordinary clothes.

Alex Orbito rinsed his hands in one of the liquids and proceeded to the treatment. By simply massaging and pressing on various parts of the body, his hands penetrated and removed hernias, pieces of meat, bumps that tormented patients. Blood came out, but there was not much of it: it looked like a thin pink trickle (like from a small cut). Operations lasted no more than a minute. The patients did not experience any discomfort: their faces reflected calmness and equanimity.

Treatment by means of alternative medicine Alex Orbito explained simply. He acted on mental centers with the help of his energy and restored their efficiency, removing all unnecessary and "repairing" breakdowns in their structure. He did not sew tissues and vessels, but soldered them with positive energy. It took a lot own forces, therefore, before the operation, the healer prayed for a long time and tuned in to work. During this time, he did not speak to anyone. After the operation, the healer replenished his energy balance for a long time.

Stories of Russian doctors visiting healers

More and more people want to try the effect of Philippine magic. Among them there are even notorious skeptics who want to debunk the myth of miraculous healing. As a rule, these are medical specialists who have decided to turn to healers.

Gershanovich Mikhail Lazarevich, doctor of medical sciences and professor, a convinced materialist, went to the healer in order to test his work from the inside and remove the basalioma that tormented him in his left eye. The healer tried for a long time to remove the tumor, but he did not succeed. After some time, she began to grow, and the professor had to urgently operate on her already in her hometown.

Observing the work of many healers, Mikhail Lazarevich discovered that the same people act as nurses and assistants during operations. In addition, almost all healers work as artisans in their spare time from operations.

Another doctor, Stanislav Suldin, decided to combine a vacation in the Philippine Islands with the removal of stones from the gallbladder, and turned to the healer. He performed the operation and assured that there were no more problems. But upon returning home, the doctor performed an operation to remove gallstones.

Sergei Savushkin, a surgeon, wandered around the clinics for a long time, trying to eliminate the consequences of the accident. In the Philippines, his limp was cured in three minutes, with a full restoration of his foot.

Features of Philippine medicine and religion

Many people ask themselves: “Do the people of the Philippines themselves turn to healers for help?” Before answering it positively, it is worth understanding the features of the health care system and the country's economy. The fact is that most of the population lives in poverty: many do not even have their own housing. They cannot afford expensive medical care, so healers are the only way for them to stay healthy and alive.

The government is calm about the activities of healers, realizing that these specialists take on all the responsibilities for the medical care of the poor. The administration does not need to provide this category of citizens with medicines and insurance. Moreover, healers are classified as psychosurgeons, as they affect the mentality of patients, combining the physical and mental. This philosophy is close to Philippine medicine, so healing is not prohibited.

The Philippine Catholic Church recognized chilerism as a manifestation of a divine miracle. She gave her consent to the healing. But being a healer, in her opinion, is a very difficult task: God takes strength and health from the healer in exchange for this gift and the ability to heal.

What diseases should be treated by healers

According to statistics and the opinion of many healed, healers successfully treat such diseases:

• benign tumors;
• infertility;
• malignant tumors in the early stages;
• arthritis;
• radiculitis;
• rheumatism;
• gastrointestinal diseases;
• cuts and fractures.

Healers can:

• clean the vessels;
• remove stones from the kidneys and gallbladder;
• correct posture;
• eliminate cellulite and cosmetic defects;
• get rid of phantom pains.

How to get to healers and distinguish them from scammers

How to get to the Philippine healers? Today, getting advice or being treated by a healer is quite simple: the Internet is replete with reviews, travel agencies offer special routes, and healers themselves advertise their services. All three methods are equally effective and will lead to a healer, but among this information you need to be able to find really worthwhile offers and not "run into" charlatans.

Real healers are hard to find. Healers live in slums or on the outskirts. They have little contact even with the local population and do not like to talk about themselves. They do not set fees for their services, leaving it up to the clients to decide how much they are willing to pay for healing. As soon as healers discover their ability to heal, they undergo serious spiritual and medical training, which takes decades.

If the healer asked for money for his work, he put on a bloody show with the extraction a large number"waste" from human flesh, prayed little and worked hard - this is a scammer.

Method one: independent search for a healer

A good healer does not need advertising. But how can a person living on the other side of the world find it? First you need to know where proven healers live and work. Basically, these are places that tourists prefer. Baguio is one such area. This is the northern part of the island of Luzon with amazing landscapes and a mild climate: a combination of warm weather and cool winds make the stay of tourists unaccustomed to the heat comfortable. It is here that many Filipino healers are located. Unfortunately, most of them are charlatans. According to various estimates, only one out of ten healers found is a real healer.

You can learn about healers only from the local population, preferably from completely different and unfamiliar people. To do this, you need to know the language of the inhabitants of the islands, otherwise they will not make contact. This is the only way to find healers who are engaged in surgical intervention.

Method two: special tours

Especially popular among tourists is the northern part of the island of Luzon. It is here that the healing industry is well developed. But tourists are also attracted by the mysticism associated with this place. It has been proven that many instruments of helicopters and ships fail while they are nearby. Locals explain this phenomenon by the presence of a large number of spirits of the island, which do not tolerate foreign interference in nature.

But all this does not prevent enterprising locals from organizing tours to local healers. As a rule, these are harmless offers associated with cleansing the body with the help of potions, positive energy or wellness massage.

Method three: reviews on the Internet and advertising

It is no secret that the majority of patients who turn to healers are easily suggestible people who believe in mysticism, otherworldly forces, and magic. Their power of self-hypnosis is so great that even in the absence of assistance, they believe that they feel better after being treated by a healer. Their opinion is unlikely to be objective.

Nevertheless, among those who have tried the effect of the Philippine miracle, there are those who can lead a desperate person to a real healer. Reviews of Philippine healers contain information about the exact place of residence or healing of the healer. Patients describe in detail what happened to them. Most of these responses are positive. People provide information about the disease before the trip and after the operation in the form of documents, photographs. Reviews are complemented by the positive opinion of the people who accompanied them.

Many well-known healers have opened their own clinics, and advertising for their activities can be easily found in the media. June Labo, one of them, has been practicing since the mid-1990s.

Philippine healers in Moscow

The most famous in Russia was the healer Virgilio Gutierrez, who now lives on the island of Cebu. He came to our country and taught the most worthy students his craft. Since then, many healers began to visit Russia not only to share their experience, but also to treat other people. Some of them live here, continuing to heal with their traditional methods. Virgilio himself comes to Moscow every year and practices.

About twenty years ago, the Association of Filipino Healers was organized in our country, which is still headed by the famous psychic Rushel Blavo. Healers live mainly in Moscow, holding seminars and passing on the knowledge of alternative medicine to ordinary people. Manual therapy and treatment with stones, conspiracies, herbs are especially popular. These remedies are similar to the well-known methods of traditional alternative medicine, therefore they are fully accepted by the Russian population.

Second famous place in Moscow, where you can meet healers, - the House of Dr. Vedov. An experienced Russian surgeon himself has performed about four hundred operations without a scalpel and annually hosts nine of the best healers of the islands.

Many healers permanently reside in other cities of Russia: Tyumen, Tambov, Yekaterinburg, Tomsk. They are engaged in their practice and sometimes come to Moscow to exchange experiences and heal.

So is it worth it to turn to healers?

It is difficult to answer this question unambiguously. Firstly, one must believe in treatment with non-traditional means, leaving not even a shadow of a doubt. Actually it's not that difficult. The worldview of Filipinos and Russians is similar in some respects: both nations believe that there is a world of spirits, otherworldly forces and energy that can heal or destroy. Russian people quite often turn to witches, sorceresses, witches.

Secondly, manual treatment has a positive effect only on those who are already familiar with such methods and have experienced them for themselves. This is different kinds massages, yoga classes, psychological gymnastics and practices.

Thirdly, such qualities as auto-suggestion and susceptibility to hypnosis play an important role. They help set the body up for healing.

If all three factors coincide, then, provided that you turn to a real healer, the probability of curing the disease is very high.

I am very skeptical about all kinds of psychics, healers, X-ray people, conspiracies, whisperers, etc. Although even from close friends I sometimes hear that, well, it’s like the grandmother moved her hands and everything went away, or the aunt looked and said the diagnosis without MRI and ultrasound. But here's what really helps.

I have heard for a long time about those who perform operations without instruments and incisions in general. Sensational news about the mysterious "surgeons without a scalpel", or healers (from the English word heal - heal), living in the Philippines, excite people for more than a dozen years.

What kind of phenomenon is this? Does it really exist or are we again being fooled and bred for money?

The first healer who became known outside the Philippines was the healer Eleuterio Terte. He began to treat people in 1926, at the age of 25. Moreover, at first he used a knife for operations, for which he soon paid the price - he was accused of "illegal medical practice."

With difficulty getting out from under the investigation, during which he gave an oath promise not to take the scalpel again, Eleutherio Terte began to think about how to live on. And unexpectedly he discovered that he did not need a knife: he could operate with his bare hands.

The trained hands of a well-trained person are actually a terrible weapon. A skilled special agent can kill an opponent with one finger. For example, in China long time practiced by healers who easily pulled out a diseased tooth, grabbing it with two fingers.

History is silent about how and on whom Eleutherio Terte trained, learning to open the patient's body with his bare hand, leaving no scars on him.

He became famous after he helped a certain American officer, and the director Ormond recorded his manipulations on film and put the film into wide release.

Then Dr. Steller, a professor of physics at the University of Dortmund, got involved. He was not too lazy to write a whole work about Eleutherio Terte, in which he admitted that, observing “operations without a scalpel”, he did not find any “sleight of hand”.

The professor assured that Filipino healers can carry out surgical operations bare hands without hypnosis, without anesthesia, without pain and infection.

He was echoed by the Japanese physician Isamu Kimura, who examined the blood after a series of Terte's operations and found that it belonged to the operated patients. True, sometimes analysis showed that the clots are of inorganic origin, that is, they do not belong to either a person or an animal, but look like dyes. But Terte explained this by saying that these clots are nothing more than the materialization of the disease itself, “bad energy” in the hands of the healer.

Healers are grouped mainly in the Baguio area, claiming that there is some special cosmic environment here, thanks to which local healers acquire superhuman strength.

In fact, Baguio is the only cool place in the Philippines with wonderful, peaceful landscapes. Tourists from all over the world willingly go to Baguio. It is because of the abundance of tourist clients that healers have chosen these places.

So, healers are healers who use the centuries-old experience of traditional Philippine medicine, which allows them to perform surgical operations with one hand. Allegedly, they push the patient's tissues apart, perform the necessary actions, and then a very fast healing expanded tissues. In some cases, there is blood, but it quickly stops, and in others - it does not happen at all! But all these cases have one thing in common - minutes after the operation, no traces remain on the patient's skin!

These specialists also have another name - “psychic surgeon”.

How can this be? After all, the Philippines, to be honest, is not the most developed country in which modern medicine can reach such heights. Maybe the Filipinos know a secret that allows you to expand a person's abilities so much? Or is it just sleight of hand?

Rumors about such miraculous operations, of course, awakened the desire of many people to see everything with their own eyes, and some even decided to test the effect of healers "on their own skin."

I must say that there are a lot of such specialists who can carry out bloodless, seamless and painless operations in the Philippines. What talented people!

The healers themselves say that God and faith help them to “heal” the sick. Therefore, in the “operating room” there is always a crucifixion of Christ and a Bible. Moreover, at the beginning of the “reception day”, the healer puts his hands on the Bible and starts muttering something, and when he considers that he has reached a “certain condition”, he begins to perform operations. One healer can perform many operations per day. Like on a conveyor belt - one patient leaves, another enters, etc. Moreover, each operation (and these are abdominal operations!) Lasts only a few minutes.

According to healers, they feel the sore spot with their fingertips, radiating energy flows. How are these operations going? The patient lies down on the couch, and the healer begins to massage the affected part of the body. At the same time, there is no question of any kind of sterility, anesthesia and other “preoperative things”. He touches the skin, warms it up, and then suddenly plunges his hand into the collected skin fold, from which drops of blood stand out. There are screeching sounds. The healer gropes inside the tumor or diseased organ, removes it (again with one finger) and pulls it out. In his hands he really sees some kind of organic material. Drops of blood from the patient's skin are wiped with a napkin moistened with coconut oil, and then, after a few moments, no traces of intervention remain on the skin. This is the picture observed by witnesses present at the operation. Moreover, such operations were repeatedly attended by representatives of the media from different countries, repeatedly everything that happens was filmed on camera.

What are the patient's impressions? He allegedly does not experience pain, only pleasant sensations. Next, any sane person has a question: is the patient of the healer a “decoy”, who has not undergone any medical interventions at all? Maybe it's staged? A kind of advertising to attract real patients, from whom you can take a lot of money for supposedly helping them? After all, it is clear that a person suffering from some kind of illness is ready to go to great lengths to recover and save his life. Even traditional medicine considers it charlatanism. And I must say that there are a lot of such people, and healers, respectively, are getting richer and richer. After all, the operation on average costs about two thousand dollars.

Healers say that people exposed to them surgical treatment, you can’t immediately run to do an ultrasound - you need to wait a couple of months. After all, the healer starts the healing process, which will last more than one week. For the same reason, the patient should not wash for some time after the operation.

Often, people who have lost their last hope go to healers. History knows more than one case when Filipino healers "operated" famous people. For example, American presenter Andy Kaufman was operated on by a healer diagnosed with lung cancer, a few months later he died.

In 1975, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) declared that the activity of healers was a hoax. This was done on the basis of a court decision prohibiting American travel agencies from arranging health tours to healers, which specifically noted: "Healers' operations are a pure and complete fake, and their bare-handed 'surgery' is a mere fake."

In 1990, after conducting research, the American Cancer Society (ACS) states that there is no evidence of any positive effect of healer operations on the course of the disease and strongly urges patients not to waste time and not resort to their help. . The British Columbia Cancer Agency has the same position. The essence of the claims is not that the operations of healers can directly harm the patient, but in possible delay, or even the exclusion of conventional treatment, which is fraught with fatal consequences.

In Russia, no official cases related to healers could be found. However, there are interviews with famous surgeons who have studied this phenomenon. For example, the story of MD. Gershanovich M. L. - Professor, Head of the Department of Therapeutic Oncology of the Research Institute of Oncology named after. prof. N. N. Petrova. When he was Anatoly Karpov's team doctor in 1978, he was in Baguio as part of the world championship match with Viktor Korchnoi. Then I managed to visit the healer, and for research purposes. Gershanovich M., in order to find out the truth, decided to undergo the operation himself. He wanted to have a varicose vein removed from his leg and a small, benign tumor, basalioma, above the left eye. Both are very convenient for demonstrating the result, as they were present on the body in explicit form. Despite all the efforts of the healer, the removal did not work. And even vice versa. As a result of these efforts, the mentioned formations became inflamed and they had to be urgently operated on already at home, in Leningrad. Gershanovich M. L. expressed the result of the experiment on himself with the words: “After everything I saw, I can take an oath: there was no surgery, there was a skillful trick.”

The popular illusionist James Randi, known for exposing psychics, considers the "surgery" of healers to be a fraud of dexterous hands. He claims that their actions can only deceive unprepared viewers, but are completely obvious to professionals. By the way, he, through his Foundation, offers a million American dollars to anyone who has proven supernatural abilities. Randy himself easily repeated the actions of the healers. Quite a lot of acting magicians did the same. For example, Christopher Milbourne (Milbourne Christopher), Robert Gertler (Robert Gurtler), Criss Angel (Criss Angel).

Explaining the actions of the healer, James Randi claims that his hand, located under the fold of the collected skin of the patient, creates in the latter a complete sensation of penetration inside. The removed fragments are easily depicted as flattened lumps of animal entrails hidden either in the hand or in an easily accessible place at table level. Simulation of bleeding was achieved by Randy using a small bag of blood, or a blood-soaked sponge. However, to enhance the plausibility of the illusion, there are known cases of making real incisions.

Psychic surgeons are trying to enter the global market. They travel to different countries, train doctors there, and especially gifted ones are invited for internships in the Philippines. But this activity has not received much development. In developed countries, healers are considered scammers, whose activities are strictly prohibited.

Therefore, those who wish to be cured have to go to the Philippines.

Not so long ago Baku-based journalist Sharif Azadov visited the Philippines. Here is how he describes meeting one of the most famous healers.

“Alex Orbito is a short, thin 43-year-old man with pleasant features. He first discovered the ability of a healer when he was sixteen years old. He studied with his father, also a healer. But the son of Alex, unfortunately, does not have the ability to concentrate energy, and therefore went to a regular medical college "...

Orbito works every other day for 45-50 minutes a day, can no longer. He must rest, replenish the lost energy. He does not operate on children, he is afraid to damage the psychic centers, he heals only by manipulations.

Orbito says goodbye to journalists, says that he needs to concentrate before operations. And when they start, they will come for us. There is a glass partition in the large room, behind it is the operating room. Before the start of the operation, all those present sing psalms.

When Orbito entered the partition, everyone fell silent. Taking the Bible in his hands, the healer leaned over - the silence became complete. So he sat for fifteen or twenty minutes.

The operating room is an ordinary room with a narrow table. Two nurses in ordinary jackets and skirts, the healer himself in the same T-shirt that he was wearing during our conversation. Several jars of oily liquids are striking. Actually medical here - only cotton swabs.

There was no long washing of hands either, the healer simply rinsed his hands in a jar of white liquid. And so after each operation, he dipped his hands in a jar and wiped them with the same towel.

The first patient was a woman. healer fast short movements plucked from her breasts small bumps, while barely flowing pinkish blood. The woman's face was calm, reflecting neither pain nor discomfort.

Then a woman lay down on the table with umbilical hernia. “I stood close to the operating table and timed all the operations,” writes Sharif Azadov. - before my eyes forefinger the healer, after a little massaging, suddenly entered the stomach, like dough.

There was blood, but not much, and Orbito pulled out a piece of meat. Then he began to vigorously stroke this place, as if pulling it together, smeared it with oil, and the woman calmly got up from the table. There was not a trace of pain on her face. The operation lasted forty-three seconds.

He also removed the appendix, however, in more than a minute. Once I also had my appendix removed, and if I'm not mistaken, it lasted more than an hour. Again, in front of my eyes, the healer's fingers easily, without tissue breaks and pressure, entered the human body. The patient's face is calm, slightly wary, but no more. It can be seen how the healer is doing something there, inside. Then he removed and showed the sick appendix and threw it into a white basin.

I asked Orbito how he connects the ends of the vessels, and he explained that he does not sew them together, but sort of seals them with energy. It is interesting that he works with one hand, and with the palm of the other, as it were, creates a biofield. Leaning down, I carefully looked at the place where the appendix had just been removed before my eyes. Not a seam, not a trace of a wound ... "

This is how Sharif Azadov ended his story. But here is a description of the same events, belonging to another eyewitness, more prepared, and therefore looking at things more soberly.

“It’s not at all easy to figure out whether the operation is really being done or is it just an appearance of it,” said Mikhail Lazarevich Gershanovich, professor, doctor of medical sciences, oncologist by profession, “At first, the actions of the healer make a stunning impression. Even for people who are skeptical. And I was not just skeptical - I was obsessed with the idea of ​​​​experiencing the work of healers for myself, to consider it from the inside.

Gershanovich traveled to the Philippines with Anatoly Karpov as his doctor when he held a world championship match with Viktor Korchnoi in Baguio.

In a conversation with journalists - Oleg Moroz and Antonina Galaeva - Gershanovich said that, being a convinced materialist, and, moreover, a doctor, he did not take into account all the testimonies of exalted eyewitnesses - you never know what will seem to a person in a state of suggestion.

- Therefore, the question of whether there is a "Philippine miracle" did not interest me, - said Gershanovich. “I was firmly convinced that he didn’t exist. The laws of nature are immutable. Cut or part the skin with your fingers, subcutaneous tissue impossible. No films, no evidence will convince me otherwise. At least until I experience the Philippine "knife" in my own skin. Moreover, if they open me, I won’t believe it, I will find out how they did it. So, with such a mood, I went to the healers. However, in addition to curiosity, I also had another incentive: at that time, Anatoly Karpov's father was seriously ill. And I wanted to search folk medicine, including the methods of the healers, something that could help him. Alas, I did not find anything of the kind, and this further strengthened my skepticism.

Moreover, Gershanovich personally suffered from the intervention of the healer. He asked to remove a tumor in the region of his left eye. It was the so-called basalioma, about which there are still disputes among doctors whether it is a malignant tumor or not (it does not give metastases).

While waiting for his turn, Gershanovich had the opportunity to observe the work of healers and their patients. It seemed surprising to him that almost all healers have some kind of main profession that feeds them - a locksmith, a mechanic, a bricklayer ... And in the meantime - with the influx of tourists - they are engaged in chiropractic. In addition, Gershanovich was struck by the fact that from time to time people who he had already seen with other healers in the same role act as patients ...

In general, the more Gershanovich looked closely at the work of the healer, the more his conviction grew stronger: there is no surgery here, there are skillful tricks and nothing more ...

“But now it’s my turn,” the professor continued his story. - I asked to remove the tumor under the left eye and the varicose vein on the leg (by the way, very convenient for demonstration - it would be immediately obvious whether it was removed or not). Healer readily agreed, warning, however, that he must pray over me.

Finally, the healer said that the spirit had appeared and he was ready to proceed. For a long time, painfully, he squeezed the tumor with iron, tenacious, like tongs, fingers - nothing happened.

After that, the tumor began to grow rapidly, and I had to hurry with its removal. Not in the Philippines, of course, but already at home, with an excellent surgeon. So only a small scar remained as a memory of that adventure. But he would not have been, Gershanovich is sure, if he had turned to the same surgeon immediately, even before the trip to the Philippines.

As for the varicose vein, the healer also dented it quite a bit. As a result, thrombophlebitis developed, which then also had to be treated for a long time with conventional methods ...

In general, as statistics show, 90 percent of healer patients, upon returning to their homes, are forced to re-apply for medical care— already to ordinary doctors.

The remaining ten percent are divided roughly equally. Five percent are for people who didn't need any surgery at all; their malaise was only the result of excessive suspiciousness. And finally, the remaining five percent falls on people whom the healers really helped.

For example, in one patient, the healer removed an atheroma (benign tumor) on the chest. But this atheroma was special, like a large eel - it was associated with a blockage sebaceous gland, had an outward course and, therefore, could easily be removed by simple extrusion.

That, in fact, is the whole story about the secrets of Filipino healers. Draw your own conclusions, as they say. It remains for me to add to what has been said the mention of another piece of evidence that I found on the Internet. Former doctor Stanislav Suldin, once in the Philippines, decided to get rid of stones in the gallbladder along with the rest. Healer performed the operation and said that now everything is in order.

However, upon returning to Moscow, Stanislav still had to undergo a cholecystectomy - an operation to remove stones from the gallbladder.

“Healer was not around, the anesthesia was normal, but our surgeons, the guys from my stream at the institute, operated,” writes Stanislav. - For which I thank them very much "... And he adds:" The guys did not find traces of the healer's intervention, they just did their job. They are practitioners and do not believe in miracles.”

What can be said in conclusion? In my opinion, suggestibility is of great importance in this story. A person with a mobile psyche will easily believe in an almost bloodless operation, and in the instant healing of tissues, and in a positive effect. So be it, if the actions of the healer did not harm the body, but only calmed the patient's psyche.

Hello dear readers. I am glad to welcome you again on the pages of my blog. Philippine healers, fact or fiction - read my review about the treatment and exposure of the so-called surgeons without knives. I returned from a trip where I personally experienced this miracle healing technique and now I want to share my impressions with you and tell everything as it is. Watch the video or read the article. I will be glad if you leave your comment and share your thoughts about these so-called “doctors”.

trip to the philippines

Quite a tiring flight from Moscow to Manila, the capital of the Philippines, with a transfer in Istanbul. Our team all gathered at the Manila airport. We all arrived on different flights from different countries. With someone we flew together from Moscow, someone joined in Istanbul, and a couple more people flew in from Bali. Having rented a car, we went deep into the mainland, to the town of Urdaneta. Confused listening to the stories of our friends who had already been there, mixed feelings reigned in our group. I initially questioned everything, but I wanted to see the miracle with my own eyes, others believed in this healing technique and hoped to solve their health problems.

Two well-known healers in their circles, Esther Bravo and Aurelia, live in Urdanet. That's where we were headed. We arrived late at night and settled in some kind of resort, not far from Urdaneta, but the next day we moved to a cottage that we rented from the healer Esther, from whom we actually planned to undergo procedures.

Treatment with healer Esther Bravo in the Philippines

In the morning we did not have time for treatment, and we came to the second block, which began at 16.00. All procedures are carried out in the church. Esther Bravo is the leader of this church, a preacher and a "doctor" healer all rolled into one. Esther in a white coat, reads a short sermon about the need to believe in the Lord and the Lord can heal all diseases, reads something from the Bible, prays and then begins treatment sessions.

Photo and video shooting in the church is prohibited, but when no one was there, I took a couple of pictures.

People, visitors sit on benches and take numbers, Esther calls these numbers for a session.
Ahead of us were 2 women from Europe, not exactly sure where, but apparently from Switzerland. Then we followed, all in turn. During the procedures, when they are done to your friends, you are allowed to come up and look at what is happening.

The first thing that bothered me was that the healer starts the treatment with a closed palm. That is, the hand dives under the table and from there it appears with clenched fingers and the knifeless operation immediately begins. Blood appears, it extracts something from the body, after which the blood is wiped off and there are no traces of interference.

When it was my turn, I was no longer satisfied with what I saw, although the other members of our expedition were fascinated by what was happening. I shared my doubts, but in order not to whip up skepticism on others, I did not argue, but simply observed.
They also performed a so-called operation on my stomach, they wiped off the blood and I left. But during the treatment procedure, this blood inadvertently spilled over my stomach and got on my underwear, leaving a large stain. I kept this linen, having decided to make an examination.

I felt absolutely nothing. All these stories that people allegedly feel that they are penetrated inside - I consider nothing more than great imagination and self-hypnosis from the sight of blood.

The next day we went back to the sessions and I shared my doubts with one of our team members. In the church we met one Russian guy, even made friends with him - it turned out a good man. He volunteers and lives close to Esther, assisting her in her preaching mission. We expressed our doubts to him and asked the healer to show her open palms before starting the operation. He conveyed our request to her, she said ok, but in fact everything went as usual))) And moreover, the healer already suspected my distrust, and after she did not show her palms while doing a session to me, my friend lay down on the table, and I kept a close eye on what was happening. She did not give him a session, she said that his heart was beating strongly, but it was not so, he felt great. My doubts intensified. Ahead of us was an acquaintance with another healer, but to complete the review of Esther's treatment, I will tell you the last episode.

Our team was divided into two camps)) Me and another person already strongly questioned everything that happened there, the other three continued to believe. We shared our doubts with the Russian guy, the volunteer I mentioned above.

We had three complaints:

• Clenched fingers at the beginning of the procedure
• You can not enter from the side of the healer during the session
• Do not give the extracted material and tissue with blood to the patient.

As you remember, I still hid one element of my clothes, which no one except our team knew about.

Our doubts were conveyed to the healer and she told me to come to the session and she would give me everything that she would extract from my body. I even began to worry a little that she would make a real incision on me, I talked about this in more detail in the video, the link to which is at the top of this article. But my fears were in vain, the healer did not conduct a session for me, she said that I no longer needed a session. Thus, once again confirmed our points, which I mentioned above.

Hiler Aurelia, Urdaneta

Literally next door, lives the second healer. She accepts exclusively on Saturdays. She has quite a few local visitors. It is less popular among foreigners, but sometimes groups from Europe and Russia come to see it.
Everything happens approximately according to the same scenario, first a short sermon, prayers and then the beginning of the sessions. Aurelia allowed us to film the video, on the condition that we didn't film her face. Her sessions look more spectacular, she takes out various pieces of organs, blood clots, etc. Since I already came from specific purpose to take the extracted material with me, it didn’t impress me. I took what I came for and left this place. Aurelia saw my distrust and even said so during the session, you can hear it on the video.

Examination and exposure

Returning to Moscow, I began to look for laboratories that would accept the samples I brought for examination. As a result, I found the state forensic medical examination and passed everything there. I had several samples. A piece of linen that Esther stained with blood. Pieces of bandages with blood, which I discreetly took after the sessions with Aurelia. And the cotton swab with blood, with which we wiped our friend's stomach, did not completely remove the blood from his stomach. There were a few drops left, which we carefully wiped off with a cotton swab and took it with us.

The study lasted several days and here is the result:

No human blood was found on the test samples, the blood belongs to a pig.

The power of self-hypnosis and faith can work wonders with people. no one has canceled yet. And all these tricks with blood are called only to strengthen faith in this process.

Evidence of deception

I shared my personal experience, and you decide for yourself whether you should spend your time and money on trips to Filipino healers who supposedly cure all diseases.

That's all, thanks for your attention.
Sincerely, Ruslan Tsvirkun.

Sensational news about the mysterious "surgeons without a scalpel", or healers(from the English word heal - heal), living on Philippines, excite people for more than a dozen years.

Healer was the first healer to become known outside of the Philippines. Eleutherio Terte(Eleuterio Terte). He began to treat people in 1926, at the age of 25. Moreover, at first he used a knife for operations, for which he soon paid the price - he was accused of "illegal medical practice."

With difficulty getting out from under the investigation, during which he gave an oath promise not to take the scalpel again, Eleutherio Terte began to think about how to live on. And unexpectedly he discovered that he did not need a knife: he could operate with his bare hands.

The trained hands of a well-trained person are actually a terrible weapon. A skilled special agent can kill an opponent with one finger. And for example, in China, for a long time, healers practiced who easily pulled out a diseased tooth, grabbing it with two fingers.

History is silent about how and on whom Eleutherio Terte trained, learning to open the patient's body with his bare hand, leaving no scars on him.

He became famous after he helped a certain American officer, and the director Ormond recorded his manipulations on film and put the film into wide release.

Then Dr. Steller, a professor of physics at the University of Dortmund, got involved. He was not too lazy to write a whole work about Eleutherio Terte, in which he admitted that, observing “operations without a scalpel”, he did not find any “sleight of hand”.

The professor assured that Filipino healers can perform surgical operations with their bare hands without hypnosis, without anesthesia, without pain and infection.

He was echoed by the Japanese physician Isamu Kimura, who examined the blood after a series of Terte's operations and found that it belonged to the operated patients. True, sometimes analysis showed that the clots are of inorganic origin, that is, they do not belong to either a person or an animal, but look like dyes. But Terte explained this by saying that these clots are nothing more than the materialization of the disease itself, “bad energy” in the hands of the healer.

Healers are grouped mainly in the Baguio area, claiming that there is some special cosmic environment here, thanks to which local healers acquire superhuman strength.

In fact, Baguio is the only cool place in the Philippines with wonderful, peaceful landscapes. Tourists from all over the world willingly go to Baguio. It is because of the abundance of tourist clients that healers have chosen these places.

Not so long ago Baku-based journalist Sharif Azadov visited the Philippines. Here is how he describes meeting one of the most famous healers.

“Alex Orbito is a short, thin 43-year-old man with pleasant features. He first discovered the ability of a healer when he was sixteen years old. He studied with his father, also a healer. But the son of Alex, unfortunately, does not have the ability to concentrate energy, and therefore went to a regular medical college "...

Orbito works every other day for 45-50 minutes a day, can no longer. He must rest, replenish the lost energy. He does not operate on children, he is afraid to damage the psychic centers, he heals only by manipulations.

Orbito says goodbye to journalists, says that he needs to concentrate before operations. And when they start, they will come for us. There is a glass partition in the large room, behind it is the operating room. Before the start of the operation, all those present sing psalms.

When Orbito entered the partition, everyone fell silent. Taking the Bible in his hands, the healer leaned over - the silence became complete. So he sat for fifteen or twenty minutes.

The operating room is an ordinary room with a narrow table. Two nurses in ordinary jackets and skirts, the healer himself in the same T-shirt that he was wearing during our conversation. Several jars of oily liquids are striking. Actually medical here - only cotton swabs.

There was no long washing of hands either, the healer simply rinsed his hands in a jar of white liquid. And so after each operation, he dipped his hands in a jar and wiped them with the same towel.

The first patient was a woman. The healer, with quick short movements, snapped small bumps out of her breasts, while pinkish blood barely flowed.

The woman's face was calm, reflecting neither pain nor discomfort.

Then a woman with an umbilical hernia lay down on the table. “I stood close to the operating table and timed all the operations,” writes Sharif Azadov. - Before my eyes, the index finger of the healer, after a little massaging, suddenly entered the stomach, like dough.

There was blood, but not much, and Orbito pulled out a piece of meat. Then he began to vigorously stroke this place, as if pulling it together, smeared it with oil, and the woman calmly got up from the table. There was not a trace of pain on her face. The operation lasted forty-three seconds.

He also removed the appendix, however, in more than a minute. Once I also had my appendix removed, and if I'm not mistaken, it lasted more than an hour. Again, in front of my eyes, the healer's fingers easily, without tissue breaks and pressure, entered the human body. The patient's face is calm, slightly wary, but no more. It can be seen how the healer is doing something there, inside. Then he removed and showed the sick appendix and threw it into a white basin.

I asked Orbito how he connects the ends of the vessels, and he explained that he does not sew them together, but sort of seals them with energy. It is interesting that he works with one hand, and with the palm of the other, as it were, creates a biofield. Leaning down, I carefully looked at the place where the appendix had just been removed before my eyes. Not a seam, not a trace of a wound ... "

This is how Sharif Azadov ended his story. But here is a description of the same events, belonging to another eyewitness, more prepared, and therefore looking at things more soberly.

“It’s not at all easy to figure out whether the operation is really being done or is it just an appearance of it,” said Mikhail Lazarevich Gershanovich, professor, doctor of medical sciences, oncologist by profession, “At first, the actions of the healer make a stunning impression. Even for people who are skeptical. And I was not just skeptical - I was obsessed with the idea of ​​​​experiencing the work of healers for myself, to consider it from the inside.

Gershanovich traveled to the Philippines with Anatoly Karpov as his doctor when he held a world championship match with Viktor Korchnoi in Baguio.

In a conversation with journalists - Oleg Moroz and Antonina Galaeva - Gershanovich said that, being a convinced materialist, and, moreover, a doctor, he did not take into account all the testimonies of exalted eyewitnesses - you never know what will seem to a person in a state of suggestion.

- Therefore, the question of whether there is a "Philippine miracle" did not interest me, - said Gershanovich. “I was firmly convinced that he didn’t exist. The laws of nature are immutable.

It is impossible to cut or push the skin, subcutaneous tissues with your fingers. No films, no evidence will convince me otherwise. At least until I experience the Philippine "knife" in my own skin. Moreover, if they open me, I won’t believe it, I will find out how they did it.

So, with such a mood, I went to the healers. However, in addition to curiosity, I also had another incentive: at that time, Anatoly Karpov's father was seriously ill. And I wanted to look in folk medicine, including the methods of healers, for something that could help him. Alas, I did not find anything of the kind, and this further strengthened my skepticism.

Moreover, Gershanovich personally suffered from the intervention of the healer. He asked to remove a tumor in the region of his left eye. It was the so-called basalioma, about which there are still disputes among doctors whether it is a malignant tumor or not (it does not give metastases).

While waiting for his turn, Gershanovich had the opportunity to observe the work of healers and their patients. It seemed surprising to him that almost all healers have some kind of main profession that feeds them - a locksmith, a mechanic, a bricklayer ... And in the meantime - with the influx of tourists - they are engaged in chiropractic. In addition, Gershanovich was struck by the fact that from time to time people who he had already seen with other healers in the same role act as patients ...

In general, the more Gershanovich looked closely at the work of the healer, the more his conviction grew stronger: there is no surgery here, there are skillful tricks and nothing more ...

“But now it’s my turn,” the professor continued his story. - I asked to remove the tumor under the left eye and the varicose vein on the leg (by the way, very convenient for demonstration - it would be immediately obvious whether it was removed or not). Healer readily agreed, warning, however, that he must pray over me.

Finally, the healer said that the spirit had appeared and he was ready to proceed. For a long time, painfully, he squeezed the tumor with iron, tenacious, like tongs, fingers - nothing happened.

After that, the tumor began to grow rapidly, and I had to hurry with its removal. Not in the Philippines, of course, but already at home, with an excellent surgeon. So only a small scar remained as a memory of that adventure. But he would not have been, Gershanovich is sure, if he had turned to the same surgeon immediately, even before the trip to the Philippines.

As for the varicose vein, the healer also dented it quite a bit. As a result, thrombophlebitis developed, which then also had to be treated for a long time with conventional methods ...

In general, as statistics show, 90 percent of patients with healers, upon returning to their homes, are forced to seek medical help again - already to ordinary doctors.

The remaining ten percent are divided roughly equally. Five percent are for people who didn't need any surgery at all; their malaise was only the result of excessive suspiciousness. And finally, the remaining five percent falls on people whom the healers really helped.

For example, in one patient, the healer removed an atheroma (benign tumor) on the chest. But this atheroma was special, like a large eel - it was associated with a blockage of the sebaceous gland, had an outward passage and, therefore, could easily be removed by simple extrusion.

That, in fact, is the whole story about the secrets of Filipino healers. Draw your own conclusions, as they say. It remains for me to add to what has been said the mention of another piece of evidence that I found on the Internet. Former doctor Stanislav Suldin, once in the Philippines, decided to get rid of stones in the gallbladder along with the rest. Healer performed the operation and said that now everything is in order.

However, upon returning to Moscow, Stanislav still had to undergo a cholecystectomy - an operation to remove stones from the gallbladder.

“Healer was not around, the anesthesia was normal, but our surgeons, the guys from my stream at the institute, operated,” writes Stanislav. - For which I thank them very much "... And he adds:" The guys did not find traces of the healer's intervention, they just did their job. They are practitioners and do not believe in miracles.”
