John is a physic surgeon and medium which means he operates spiritual surgeries guided by spirits. Okay, I know it sounds strange. I am new to the subject myself and even being Brazilian I had never heard of him until I seen this video;
I was originally born and raised in Sao Paulo which is miles and miles away from where he is from and maybe because I have been in the UK for so many years I have never heard of him. There are many other videos on Youtube from different times where Oprah spoke about him and his work,
For what I understand he heals people guided by spiritual guides (spirits). In some of the videos the pictures are quite strong and touching.
I am now searching more information about him; and I have found many and many articles and TV documentaries (most in Spanish and or Portuguese).
Don't know if he is definitely guided by spirits though I am 100% sure that when you believe, strong enough, when you have faith in God, and faith in yourself, you can definitely find the support and strength necessary for the cure - or perhaps find the force to sooth the pain.
Always remembering that the obstacles and unfortunates we need to face in his life are nothing more than experiences that are put in our lives to help our spirits to evolve and progress towards a purer state.
