A wonderful healer from the Philippines

Over the years there is much controversy about the so-called miracle healers of the Philippines. Their ability to turn peoples bodies and perform operations without using any surgical equipment ie their bare hands or with rusty hunting knives, in the absence any anesthetics and the skin of their patient re-seals without any noticeable marking or scars defies not only conventional medical knowledge but also flies in the face of what we consensually call reality. How a human body open and close by touch? How can solid objects become permeable to allow a hand to move by it?

My encounter with Rogerilio in the Philippines demonstrated that reality is not so solid as we were led to believe. My experience very much I'm reminded of Einstein's quote "reality is an illusion even a persistent one!"

I met Rogerilio its place is a simple side street café with shops selling everything from shampoo sachets to the local boiled egg delicacy which children buy their hundreds weekly. The waiting room is the restaurant itself and its treatment room was a small curtained off back room.

I witnessed and was allowed the same Rogerilio videos and photos to work with his patients that not only local people but also many travel from Europe and the USA came to see him with severe and examine some illnesses such as terminal.

Rogerilio works with simple humble circumstances. No running water, no toilet flushing, or other modern facilities. He struggles each month to make ends meet to feed and support his wife, 2 daughters, his adopted son, and other members His family (10 in total). He does not charge the patient money but accepts their donations to be placed on his altar without any comment. Several times seen I sacks of rice given to payment for operations which are usually well beyond the means of poor people to pay for as there is no 'free' health services of either the doctor or hospital. In fact many of the remote provinces and islands there are no doctors, hospitals and only in the cities.

When asked I know where it Rogerilio healing abilities come from, he was learning a teacher? Or where he will learn it? His response was very clear, "it is not to me, I am just a tool like a hammer, the Holy Spirit does the job. Please do not consider I have been doing the healing in anyway. I am not worthy, why me? I can not be enriched through money by this work in any way, and I do not ask for money. "Her husband was nodding Lourdes with thanksgiving and then he added, "it works every time he stops the children get sick, and he becomes weak and sick." Rogerilio said He is walking a thin line and it is not easy "of course" he says (with tongue slightly on the cheek) "I would bet, womanise, and drink alcohol, but I can not do it at work. The absence of any other plausible theory I have no choice but to accept the explanation of how Rogerilio healing worked and the physical opening took place, after all not only saw it with my own eyes, I am also my hands inside the human body.

I asked if there were any other healers in her family, she said no, and added to 15 generations he was the only one of these gifts. I asked him how did he discover this gift. He said that as a young child he often said he was 'special' as he is a posted delivery, but he did not know or was told exactly what this special feature. He discovered this ability when he was 13, a neighbor boy of the same age is swallowed a fishbone and he became very ill, neck swollen, infected, do not eat after two weeks his condition is getting very serious and neighbors another brought the boy and asked Rogerilio him to heal him. Rogerilio did not know what to do, so he just gently massaged the boy's neck, when suddenly his fingers moved inside throat the boy and in shock he withdrew them and found that he was holding the fishbone in his hand. He was so shocked and frightened, he thought he would kill boy so he ran away and hid in the woods for three weeks.

A friend later found him and told him that boy is good and is recovered from the disease. Rogerilio returning to his village found that circumstances became difficult he was expelled from school for his absence and that many people are turned away from him and very sadly with his parents, that he will leave home and travel for its' be touched by the devil ", It is a sad and difficult time in his life as he found himself denounced when people found out that he is so he could move on. Rogerilio then lifted his shirt and showed me the whip scars on his back. He was hounded out and whipped vines which are attached thorns. He indicated a vase in his room where he is still kept the very same vines as a reminder of these times.

He survived as a child, grafting, selling cigarettes, cleaning shoes, and sleeping rough, living as an outcast. He has earned enough money to go to High school, and started to work as a physician helping people on an ad-only system in the community. He slowly and surely built up a reputation, and he was given an award by the Junior Chamber of Commerce as a 'Model of Compassion' working as a doctor without asking for money.

Determined to understand the human body and what he is doing, he was eligible for medical training and after 6 years of internship qualified as a medical analyst. This work intended to study samples tissue, surgical operations and helping others. After 5 years of practice he left the profession greatly unhappy with what he witnessed in many of the surgical operation techniques. He focussed on his healing work developing an international reputation until the major 1990 earthquake in Baguio that devastated the city and where he lost everything. He moved to Manila and found work and have started to rebuild her life. About five years ago he returned to Baguio and resumed His healing practice in the local community.

To see a human body opening is one thing, but I felt great anxiety when I instructed Rogerilio place my hand in the human body. As I placed my finger inside groin of a person, Rogerilio asked me if I could feel this lumpy tissue, said yes, and then "pull it", I withdrew my hand and was looking at a piece of dead nervous tissue which came from his patients prostrate gland. The guy lying down is felt no pain or discomfort, and the groin opening is sealed and no markings or scar to indicate that a few moments before it was open.

Rogerilio said that the Spirit will protect both the patient and myself from any infection. He then showed how it worked, greedy He took my hand her hand over mine on his fingers extended above mine by a few inches. "See this is when my hands are the hands Spirit, the Spirit hand moves first building opening, and my hand follows, the Spirit hand takes the defective tissue and place it in my hands, and as I withdraw my hand the Spirit hand also withdraws and as this happens, the opening in the body of Analysis. "Look I told you that I just the instrument and it is the Spirit that all healing. "

During my visit to Rogerilio I have witnessed (and photographed videoed) the following:

• During travel in January 2001, Rogerilio cleared "growths" from around my prostate. He left after a Kleenex tissue inside my body overnight to prevent the seeping of blood back into the testicles (I could feel the tissue myself by pressing the point where it was entered).
• He removed a 12 "long tumor (as thick as a sausage!) From the intestine of a friend. What is also noteworthy that half an hour later she was eating a normal diet. Under conventional surgical procedures he has something like a 'baby food' for eating many months following the operation.
• He removed cataracts from both eyes of another person
• He removed growths attached to the back of a woman. This woman has had trouble moving his head and completely suffered from chronic pains in her shoulders for many years. The instant improvement the head is obvious and her shoulder pains have now completely disappeared. Months of physical therapy had previously been very little impact.
• He cleared the sinuses of 2 man
• He unblocked the descending colon of another person.
• cleared a "goitre" from a human throat. It is full of thick yellow pus and clotted blood formed from many years of smoking.

One of the most difficult things I encountered (apart from the bashing of my safe and comfortable Newtonian reality) was his dealing with the victims of witchcraft and black magic. What was clearly impressed me was that while I had thought that Westerners are advantage of not getting 'caught' up in the witchcraft out of the culture they are more likely to be affected, however this assumption is certainly challenged by of what I witnessed. Middle-aged Swiss German came to see Rogerilio. I Rogerilio is sitting outside his restaurant drinking water when Johan joined us and said His entire left side of his body becomes paralyzed. He could not move her left hand, his arm was weak and soaring through his side, his left eye was closed, the mouth on the left side was also drooping like looking after the numbing effect of injection of a dentist. He also said his tongue again on the left side felt frozen, and he is difficulty breathing and lacked any energy, can not concentrate or even carry out what the fairly simple tasks like buttoning his pants up. As I studied him, it actually appears on the left side of his body is dry, and the fingers of his left hand were visibly smaller than in his right hand.

Rogerilio look at her, and then started to tell him about an island in the Philippines called Sekihor islands (islands This is a frightening reputation among ordinary Filipinos as it is the place where the practitioners of witchcraft and black magic lived). Rogerilio explained that the sorcerers are paid by people who grudges and animosities against others. As he was saying it was thinking what's going on here? Why is he talking about it? What's Happening! Very soon it became clear as he started to describe the events surrounding Johan and the nature of the problem and this is why. Rogerilio than Johan said that a woman who held a deep grudge against him and wanted to 'destroy' he was paid a hunt place a curse on him which is the cause of his dilemma.

We went to the treatment room behind the shop, and for the next four days Rogerilio started to run with him. He removed obnoxious lumps of tissue that resembled a squashed octopus from different places on the left side of the body.

After the first day Rogerilio told us that it is important to identify the culprit so the dark energy is sent back to the source. He described the ritual and said we would do it in five days time. Johan temporary is to make a list of all the women he met in the past 12 months. Rogerilio shown and explained to us the grass and outlined the way we want to use. Rogerilio asked me to look after Johan that which is a pleasant task as he was a friendly and generous individuals.

By Friday Johan is ready list of 65 names in total, and we went to the taxi Rogerilio's place. When Our former Rogerilio asked Johan to buy eggs, which he did for 3 pesos from a local store and return to Cafe. We have entered the treatment room Rogerilio's, where a large metal tray was set up on his healing altar. The tray is an empty bottle, candle, plugs of tobacco growing and local herbs. Rogerilio asked Johan in tears the list of individual millet, fold them and put them in the bottle. I helped Johan do it; Rogerilio is by standing in the way other the end of the room and did not see any of the written names. When it comes Rogerilio completed over the altar and made his prayers and blessings, he Johan then asked to do the eggs she just bought and hold it open bottle neck. Rogerilio than poured a bottle of wine (which is the only bottle of spirit that he had). Johan was then told to break open the eggs into a bowl and find the name. Johan did this and gently poked bowl and there inside the yolk is a little folded piece of paper!

Johan carefully teased the yolky piece of paper tomorrow, and had a name on his own script. Johan was really taken aback "so It is him! "He then told us that he is actually written all the woman he met over the past 12 months on the list, including loved him, and good friends. People on paper is only one reason to worry him. He had a brief relationship with her, but she had become unbalanced and very possessive at this time. He was struck by his behavior and when Johan said he was finishing it, he became very cold and told him "that if he can have her, no one will! "Johan was very angry, and sad that other people can do an act like this. For myself it certainly knocked out some of my naivety about it. ritual that caused the sorcery to be sent back to urge Johan thereby releasing from its effects. It has given me cause for reflection on the instant karma, and Shakespeare's poems, one about 'the bad guy to me! "I also shivered at the thought that it is the perfect murder and speculated of how many other people became ill and died of 'mysterious' and unexplainable circumstances. The main thing then Johan is a new man, and his body is vastly improved from the beginning of the week, thanks to Rogerilio (and) work out the Holy Spirit's.

The Some of the conclusions I have drawn from observation and participation in Rogerilio's work has had a profound impact on my worldview, the first is that many of the debilitating disease and decline in physical health that we associate with old age is not inevitable. These are the cumulative effects of decades of eating the wrong foods, usually too much animal fat, red meat, and lack of fiber in the diet.

Another conclusion is that tumors have a sense of some description. This is to have them some form of safety of life 'Instinct. They grow in areas that are most difficult to detect and only when I built them out and become detectable. This' safety survival 'intelligence is also known if it is disturbed and can respond to this by accelerating their growth and expansion in the body.
