About this product

Product Information

Moved by her own struggle to recover from breast cancer, Sandy Johnson explores with curiosity and a measure of healthy skepticism the work of healers, miracle-makers, and transformers of the mind, body, and soul. She travels the world-- from a beachside compound in Hawaii to a remote village in Brazil-- to meet face-to-face with the most acclaimed healers. She often experiences their work first-hand and reports, with fascinating detail, the story of their real-life miracles and incredible feats. She also writes about the wonder of the placebo effect, which seems to give some people the faith they need to begin healing on their own. You'll meet Katie Engelhardt, a young woman from Tennessee, who is able to intuit and then often heal the ailments of people while in a trancelike state. Sometimes, after entering her trance, goldlike metal flakes appear on her face, neck, back, and hands. In another chapter, Bundji, an Australian man with Aboriginal ancestors, tells how he was led to resurrect the healing methods of his people and now travels the world to heal those in need with love, light, and energy. Dr. Ruth Ziemba, a traditionally trained nurse and chiropractor, explains why her treatments require only the lightest pressure with hands her patients say emanate an intense, healing heat. You'll also meet John of God, the Brazilian with the kitchen knife, who treats as many as 3,000 people at a time, excising tumors, ending blindness, and curing arthritis and cancer at his Casa de San Inacio in a remote Brazilian village. The Brazilian Healer with the Kitchen Knife grants an unprecedented view of this simultaneously ancient and modern phenomenon, and its most compelling practitioners. Sandy Johnson allows you to meet these spiritual magicians so that you can attempt to understand their gifts and motivations, and witness the best and worst of their work.

5 out of 5 stars
by paul_lamo03 Jan, 2009
Very good
This is a very interesting book, even more considering that it is about a very controversial topic !! Alternativ medicin is accepted but when the results are rather miracle-like, it becomes highly questionable ! However the results are often more logical than results by orthodox medicin, and the persons described in the book, mostly possess a knowledge that far exceeds orthodox medicin. The author has done her best to be very truthful and realistic in her perceptions and her descriptions, which makes it very easy for the reader to form his own opinion about the different fenomena.
