Woo-Mongers of Psychic Surgery.
Got £1,350 to spare? Got a couple of weeks off work? Why not contact Patrick Hamouy and have a holiday in the Philippines and visit some some 'Psychic Healers'!
www.therapies.com/
Well, I say £1350, you do also have to pay for your flights....
Not all healers are genuine. The ones I work with I believe are. The hotels I use are safe and the transport is well organised. I have second to none experience in organising these trips. A lot of people come back from Philippines cheated by unscrupulous fake healers (the majority). Don't be one.
Good advice Patrick!
Patrick has two 'favourite' healers in the Philippines, "William" and "Jun"
William is one of the most gifted psychic surgeon I have ever met. I have seen him remove tumours from the brain, abdomen, chest, lungs and other parts of the body without creating pain. A truly amazing healer.
And obviously, most definitely, not an "unscrupulous fake healer"
Jun Labo is pretty well known in the world of 'Psychic Surgery'. A documentary film was made about him in 1977, 'Psychic Phenomena: Exploring the Unknown', with Burt Lancaster featuring in it and providing the English commentary. (The film by the way, was banned a week after its release). Lancaster was convinced that Juan was genuine. Ironic really after winning an Academy Award in 1960 for 'Elmer Gantry', where he played a con man selling religion for profit to small-town America.....
For those of you who remember the American sitcom 'Taxi' in the late 70's and early 80's, Andy Kaufman who played 'Latka', went to see Jun where he was 'seen' to pull bloody tissue from Kaufman's chest.
Kaufman died 2 months later.
It seems Patrick Hamouy has a vested interest in Jun being genuine. According to his 'colleague' Howard Charing on his blog:
ayahuaska.wordpress.com/2007/09/23/the-enigma-of-psychic-surgery-in-the-philippines-part-2-jun-labo/
Jun has a desire to teach healers, and has co-founded with Patrick (as Vice President), the International School of Metaphysical Healing and Development. This school will be based in Baguio. I have been invited to be an Associate Vice President and both Patrick and I will be bringing people interested in receiving healing from Jun, as well as learning and being trained in this form of metaphysical healing. Jun conducts a test on the apprentice or aspiring healer (I’m glad I passed!). He takes the index finger of the person, blows on it, makes a prayer and then runs the persons finger of a patient’s body. The finger running along the body makes an opening and draws blood. The opening is instantly closed as soon as the finger moves
I wonder why Jun doesn't let the person run his finger down the patients body without him holding it? Hmmm...
Howard himself has been treated by Jun. He tells us:
On my recent visit with Jun, I mentioned that my throat was feeling blocked. He removed a non cancerous growth the size of a tangerine from there, and then made another opening, and significant amount of thick pus and phlegm poured out. Patrick who was videoing all of this, was making some comments with regards to the ‘yeech’ factor as this was going on!
I have two issues with this, no, three. The first one being is that its very difficult to read, type and laugh at the same time.Secondly, he states it was a 'non-cancerous growth' How on earth does he know if its non-cancerous.
Thirdly, and my biggest issue with this is, how the hell do you have a growth the size of a tangerine in your throat and not know about it? Where does Howard actually think Jun found this growth?
Now I'm no Doctor (but neither is Jun so I supposes we're even), but I shall utilise my basic knowledge of anatomy from my Human Biology O Level. If this tangerine sized growth was 'inside' the throat, he wouldn't just be complaining about feeling 'blocked', it fact I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be complaining about much due to the fact of not being able to breath or eat.
If the 'growth' was in the surrounding tissue, he would not have gone to Jun complaining 'my throat feels blocked', but rather, "can you remove this very obvious tangerine sized growth from my neck".
Also, where on earth does he think his body is storing this 'significant amount of pus and phlegm'? I'm starting to think Howard has a rather strange neck...
Howard also organises trips to see the 'Psychic Surgeons' and is part of 'Eagle's Wing Centre for Contemporary Shamanism'

Back to Patrick Hamouy, well, guess what, he's a Reiki Master. Why is that no surprise to me?
"He is currently studying Metabolic therapies and the use of B17 (Laetrile / Amygdalin), Essiac tea, Hawaiian Noni Juice and Hoxsey remedies to further help his client."
Now as far as I'm aware, Patrick is neither a scientist nor does he have a laboratory. Just how is he 'studying' these things. Alarm bells started ringing when I saw 'B17'.
'B17' or Amygdalin, is found in raw nuts and certain fruit seeds, and its not a Vitamin. It has been marketed as a cancer cure, without any scientific evidence to back it up.
www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/default.asp?page=21859
The premise for B17 curing cancer comes basically from a Dr Burk who tested B17.
When we add vitamin B17 to a cancer culture under the microscope,” said Burk, “providing the enzyme glucosidase also is present, we can see the cancer cells dying off like flies!
Advocates of this 'Vitamin' are quick to use this statement to back up their claims, what they fail to mention is that the reason the cancer cells 'died off like flies" is that glucosidase makes the laetrile release cyanide. Cyanide pretty much kills everything. B17 is quackmongery at its highest level.
As for Patrick studying 'Hoxsey remedies", once more we enter the realm of the ridiculous. The Hoxsey Therapy was developed by Harry Hoxsey in the 1920's as a cure for cancer. Hoxsey was an ex coal miner with no medical background or training. His entire cure was based around his great-grandfather, who, observed a horse with a tumor on its leg. The horse 'cured' itself by grazing upon wild plants growing in the meadow. Hoxsey used these plants and some 'home remedies' to create his 'cure'.
He was doing very well out of it until 1960 when the the United States Food and Drug Administration banned the sale of the Hoxsey herbal treatment and forced him to close all his clinics. He started again in Mexico where those nasty Americans couldn't touch him. Hoxsey was not a good advertisement for his 'cure'.
He died in 1974 from prostrate cancer. Ironic really....
Patrick REALLY believes that the Psychic Surgeons he promotes are genuine. He even has some excuses lined up for when they are caught cheating. I found an article written by him at:
fmatalk.com/showthread.php?t=3085
The 'cancerous tumours' and blood that these Psychic Surgeons 'remove' from a person are very often found to be of animal origin, they're discreetly palmed in the hand and then made to 'appear' from the persons body. The blood is either a clot in a piece of cotton (you will see by looking at some of the videos on Youtube that the 'surgeon' very often works with wet hands, this soaks the cotton and clot and produces the 'blood') or will have a small bag of blood palmed in his hand which he will burst as he makes the 'incision'. Pigs blood is often used. Patrick disputes this.
"The blood in Psychic Surgery is not from pigs but it is the person’s blood that has been modified by the strong healing powers of the Bare Hand Surgeon in order for their hands to penetrate the body. Similar changes may take place for cysts or tumours when removed."
Ahhh... so its been 'psychically modified'! To get it out of the body, the Psychic has to turn it into into a pork product! Heavens, this is more complicated than I thought.....
He turns to the author of "Psychic Surgery, Healing-Doorway to the Spiritual World", Dr. Donald McDowall (who sounds very rational judging by the title of his book) for an explanation about the pigs blood:
"As for pig’s blood. It is almost identical to Human Blood. Check the profile with the local veterinarian. That is why they use pig’s organs in so much research for genetic transplantation. You can only tell the difference with very intricate lab testing. Beyond the scope of most labs. Much of the blood cannot be identified. I think this is due to the materialisation process."
Well I think that would depend if you were talking about a real lab, or a boys own 'My first forensic testing kit (Magnifying glass included!)'
Sheep's blood has also been used, but Patrick, who has obviously been referring to his copy of "Stupid things to say when faced with science"
When talking about Tony Agpaoa, Licauco mentions that he was tested, analysed and experimented on by foreign scientists all over the world on many occasions. However, sometimes, the tissues analysed were declared genuine and on other occasions, the tissues were declared to be some “other substances”. On one occasion, the blood sent for analysis to Switzerland was described to be sheep’s blood. Sheep is not indigenous to the Philippines. Would Tony have been vicious enough to import sheep’s blood from abroad in order to trick people as opposed to using the blood of a local animal? Unlikely!
There are no sheep in the Philippines? Has anyone told the Filipino sheep farmers? Christ they must have an easy life....
Patrick's not opposed to a bit of conspiracy either....
Lastly, the labs can be prejudiced. When they know the source of the tissue they seem to prejudice the reports.
The bastards.
What I find most disturbing is the following quote he provides from a Psychic Surgeon:
When the tumour is removed, there is a vacuum created in the body where the tumour was. This vacuum is filled quickly by surrounding cells and blood clots. A scan taken after Bare Hand Surgery will show a dark mass where the tumour was. This can be mis-interpreted as being the tumour
So. You have a large cancerous tumour. You go and see one of these Psychic Surgeons who covers you in pigs blood, extracts a few bits of chicken entrails from you, and maybe a piece of a bicycle or something, you return to your Dr's and have another xray.
The tumour is still showing, but if you were stupid enough to believe these people, you would think that you were looking at a 'vacuum' created by the removal of the tumour.
The body takes between 6 and 8 months to fill this vacuum and regain the space created.
I wonder how many people are just a little bit too dead to return after 8 months and complain?
