John of God Healer in Brazil a fraud? John of God was a Portuguese-born friar and saint, who has become one of Spain’s leading religious figures.

St. John of God was born João Cidade in Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal, into a once prominent family that was impoverished but had great religious faith.

His mother died when he was only a small child, and his father joined a monastic order according to Wiki.

John of God Healer - Brazilian spirit doctor John of God was featured on Oprah Winfrey Show by documentary filmmaker Fergus Tigue.

The documentary shows John of God using his healing powers on men and women without using any anesthetics or disinfectants.
Man of Fraud or Man of God ? “Probably a fraud, Gorgo. There are many in the business. That doesn’t preclude some of the humble unannounced healers from healing in ways science can’t explain yet. I just don’t think that those who call attention to themselves, and thus find riches, are credible. Healing by the power of God doesn’t go along with self-aggrandizement” According to a comment at volconvo.com

The Oprah special on the healing arts around the world was broadcast in the U.S. on November 17. “João is not a licensed doctor. Born in 1942, he is said to have been so rebellious he was thrown out of school after the second grade and could not keep a job. ABCNews reported”

I watched the Oprah show about John of God. I don’t know if it is real or not but they made it very clear that he does not charge, nor has he ever charged anyone for his his healing services. Likewise, they do not advertise and even tell people to continue to see their physicians and stay on their medications.

I just thought it was unfair of you to say that he was.. ” “Probably a fraud, Gorgo. There are many in the business. That doesn’t preclude some of the humble unannounced healers from healing in ways science can’t explain yet.

Those statements are misleading and untrue in this situation.

Regarding Oprah Winf Does anyone else wonder why John of Gods’ incisions and surgeries (in the video clips shown on the Oprah show) were intentionally BLURRED OUT over the most important visual of each procedure?
What are they hiding? Where is the visual proof? Was it really an egg sized tumor removed from one persons back, or was it only a piece of bloody gauze (ready to go in his hand before the incision) and by slight of hand made it look like he was pulling out “something”
Why would a tv show intentionally HIDE such proof? Why did they not comment about this intentional BLURRING/Hiding? All is not what it seems.
