Faith Healing and Psychic Surgery: Fact or Fallacy ( Part 3 )

Is psychic surgery true? Studies of foreign researchers have remained inconclusive, some says it’s real, and others say it’s complete fakery. The inconsistency perhaps lies in the fact that some healers are genuine but there are others who are fakes. And there are times when even genuine healers face an operation when they have temporarily lost powers.

Still it is a fact that these healers the genuine ones at least, have healed thousands upon thousands of people from all over the world specially those otherwise given up by their country’s medical doctors.

Despite discouragement from some foreign governments and the adverse publicity against the faith healers, there are still thousands of foreigners, who flock to the Philippines every year in search of a miracle cure. Some go back either completely or partially healed; others not at all.

My friend have personally observed around 33 psychic surgeons in the Philippines and one in Brazil. She have witnessed thousands of psychic surgeries performed by them. She have also two laboratory reports of specimens taken from patients of the healers and another report from a Japanese medical specialist. All the reports proved to be genuine. Still we cannot openly advocate faith healing except perhaps as a last resort, because we are dealing here with a paranormal phenomenon whose results cannot be pre-determined or predicted. A lot depends on the powers of the healer at the time, the belief and attitudes of the patient and the people surrounding the healing process. It is a mystery that waits further study and explanation.

For those interested in seeing a Filipino faith healer, the above points are worth considering. Although it had seen many spectacular cures in the course of extensive research on the subject, it had also seen many spectacular failures. The decision lied in the visitor where he should subject himself to faith healing or not..

Faith Healing and Psychic Surgery: Fact or Fallacy ( Part 2 )

Faith healing with its sensational process of bare-handed psychic surgery is one of the most extraordinary and controversial examples of and indigenous paranormal phenomenon in the country that many from all over the world must have heard but know little about.

Of the thousands of spiritual or faith healers scattered all over the Philippines, only around 150 to 200 can perform psychic surgery. And only about ten percent (10%) of these have consistent powers to practice regularly.

Bare-handed psychic surgery exists only in the Philippines. A similar phenomenon is found in Brazil, but their healers use knives, scalpels, scissors and other instruments to perform “surgery.” I decline psychic surgery as the process by which the healer while entranced opens up the body of the patient with his bare hands, take out diseased tissues, and closes the opening without any trace of the incision at all.

It is believed that this is done through the intercession of a benign spirit or saint using the healer as a channel or medium of the healing force or energy. All faith healers are members of one spiritist group or another.

Faith Healing and Psychic Surgery: Fact or Fallacy ( Part 1 )

For about half of the 24 years in the business management of my friend, she was engaged in a very unusual hobby after office hours, doing research and writing books and articles on various paranormal and psychic phenomena. During her offbeat hours, the presence of a fascinating hidden culture of the Philippines became evident to her – a culture that is much more fundamental, more powerful and more pervasive than the outward culture that the ordinary visitor to our country becomes easily familiar with.

This hidden aspect of our culture, which she call the esoteric cultures of the Philippines, consists of beliefs in the supernatural, in the existence of various in habitants of the spirit world and the many rituals and practices connected with their supplication and intervention into our daily affairs. The esoteric culture also refers to the Filipino’s persistent belief in the awesome powers of the mind to transform one’s life and protect him from harm so long as that mind is connected with the spirit source. The paranormal is part of the hidden culture.

The Philippine Paranormal Research Society, a non-profit organization found in 1986, together with several business professionals and scientists, defines the paranormal as “any observable or experience able phenomenon, object, energy, force, event or human capability for which there is yet no generally accepted scientific explanation.”
