Here's one, from Mexico, but culturally closer to our own folk healing traditions...
“El Niño Fidencio”. Nacido el 18 de noviembre de 1898, en Iramuco, Guanajuato (centro de México). Era uno de los 25 hijos de un humilde matrimonio de jornaleros. A…
Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) has been called the "sleeping prophet," the "father of holistic medicine," and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. For more than 40 years of his adult life, Cayce gave psychic "readings" to thousands of seekers w…
David, I hope I didn't turn you off on healing. You have a rain check ("God willing and the creek don't rise") to visit my place (I told Rafa to expect you, I even gave him your photo, just in case. By the way, bring him a bottle of brugal, he swear…
David, you seem to have misread me, I used the term 'recuse', not 'excuse'. Those terms have two different meanings. I just wanted to suggest that you are too sentimental to be a folk healer, like the prospective surgeon who swoons at the sight of b…
Sorry John,
But I see no reason for having to excuse myself for merely having a simple discussion. Folk healing is in no way conventional so why would you suggest to impose on anothers view of it. Giving a young boy 5 pesos with a club foot on the…
David, folk healing has nothing to do with indulging in personal experience. Just like the conventional medical profession, it's inadvisable to get emotionally involved with your patients. Notwithstanding, you'll need to develop a tremendous sense o…
Maybe we can try that sometime, but for me it is all about the experience. There are a lot of "street urchins" in POP, but I have my favorites. One boy has what looks to be a club foot but it could of been an accident, one guy on crutches I have see…
David, whatever you did in Nagua, and later in Puerto Plata, has nothing to do with what I suggested. You seem to have missed the point. The maneuver doesn’t work with street urchins or in familiar places. Also, it doesn’t work with money, it has to…
Yes of course, that is one of my favorite things! When I lived in Nagua I used to do that a lot, and when I visit there the faces still light up the same. Now in Puerto Plata on the Malecon the street kids seem to be different now that I think of it…
David, I truly appreciate your feedback, I don’t want this forum turning into my personal blog. I can see that you are assuming a lot about me and healing. I really don’t have much pretention about my work. It’s my nature to heal, and I enjoy it. I…
John,
Tell us about some of your personal experiences during healing sessions if you would be so kind.
What journey did you personally experience during a healing session?
Did you heal in some way during the experience?
I beleive that when two co…
Interesting link about this man and the traditional music performed solely in this area.

John,
I would be interested in joining you for a visit to Cahobita. I live in Puerto Plata.
Absolutely, great reading. It is simple amazing how greed and corruption has maligned the Healthcare system in the States. I look forward to future discussions on this forum.
Bienvenid@ a la Red Social del Campus Virtual de FUNGLODE. Le invito a explorar esta red desde su mismo inicio hasta lo mas reciente.
