The most interesting part was reading the comments at the end of the article!

Yes Z they were taking a very open minded approach weren't they?

I saw a documentary made in New Zealand about three poeple who went to John of God for treatment, and two of them died not long after seeing him, it was very sad to watch and the "surgery" he did on one of the people was very intrusive and unpleasant to watch.

Yet I have read wonderful first hand accounts of how effective he can be. So I choose to be openminded yet unconvinced about him.

Yes, Wes, I have also heard mixed reports about him. Some who were convinced now organise tours to go and see him!

My view is similar to yours.

I shall make that 3 then I agree with both of you. I also think that teh huge energy which the Casa develops must have a beneficial effect in some cases which would be seperate to John of God's own abilities..
