Have you met a quack doctor?
Have you tried to ask for a quack doctors help?
Do you know what is a quack doctor?
What about a faith healers?
A quack doctor is someone who claims to cure illnesses without the the proper knowledge or study in the medicine field. Most of them have not studied medicine at all but a lot of people seek their help in order to cure their illness.
A faith healer on the other hand are those who use black magic or sorcery.
But usually, a quack doctor is also a faith healer.
In our country, there are a lot of quack doctors. People would ask for their help or cure most especially for those who can't afford to pay a doctors fee or is afraid with surgery. Quack doctors will just receive whatever amount you give them. They won't ask for any particular amount at all.
I knew someone who used to be a quack doctor when she was alive. A lot of people would go to her house and ask for help including us. My mom would bring us there whenever we are having fever and/or unwell. Usually, she would "HILOT"the babies or even the elderly ones.
Hilot is an ancient Filipino way of healing. Healers or manghihilot normally would massage a certain part of the body which got injured.
Despite the development of Technology and places there are still practices from ancient times that remained to some or is still being followed.
Hilot honestly feels good especially when you have body pains or fever. She usually uses herbal medicine as well for cough or fever but of course if it is way beyond that she would then advice the person to go to a hospital and be admitted or be checked by a doctor.
Other than this, I have remembered some people going to her complaining about their lost jewelry, money, cellphone. They would ask help from her to manipulate the mind of the person who got their valuable things so he/she would return what he/she stolen.
There are cases that they would ask help to determine if their husband were having a mistress or if someone is missing they would go to her and ask for help so the person would return home. As what I remembered, those who were asking for her help would only be asked to show their palm to her, she would then give them instructions or details.
Pretty weird right?
I have never understood those things before though she did not ask people to believe her, but people used to go back happily and give her some tips or anything saying their babies are doing okay and so on.
But, before she died she told us not to go to any quack doctors or "faith healers" anymore because it is never good and is an evil doing. She used to say something in Latin when she started to get sick and she had to stop healing people. It is said that all the sickness of those people she cured goes to her and would make her suffer til she die.
In some areas, people would go to a quack doctor to ask help related to harming someone who have done wrong to them. Some quack doctors also practices black magic or witchcraft. They are also referred to "faith healers" and the act is called, "KULAM".
Usually, they will kulam those who have done wrong like stealing.
Some would tend to ask the faith healers to make the stealer feel conscience and return whatever they got but there are some people who would really demand to kill the person.
By using curses, spells and some puppets or needles or "lason"/poison would make it possible to actually kill a person.
Well, it is believed that if you are innocent then nothing will happen to you but there are really cases when these "faith healers" would kill for money. This is a way of killing that no one will be put behind bars since black magic or sorcery can't be proven in the court or not believed by any scientists.
My mom experienced such "kulam" before. She felt like she is always tired and she often gets sick. When we had her checked and undergone labtests, results were okay. So from there she went to a faith healer and she found out that 2 of her co-workers were trying to kill her using black magic. They paid someone to do it to her.
My mom used to be their Team Leader and they wouldn't want my mom around since they are also aiming to get the position or be promoted and they were thinking that it would only be possible if they would. The faith healer told her that she is experiencing "LAYGAY".
LAYGAY is a way of using black magic/witchcraft in order to kill someone slowly.
The faith healer then did the so called, "SUMBALIK" in which whatever they have done to my mom would happen to them, worst it will be for 10x folds.
With few instructions like not letting those co-workers notice that my mom was already aware with what they were doing and just continue to be civil. My mom started to felt better and normal in just less than a week.
Days passed, her 2 co-workers started to experience struggles like one of their family got sick and they got nothing to eat. With this my mom was just silent. She believes that she is not at fault and any misunderstanding could always be communicated well.
Both colleagues resigned to their jobs all of a sudden. One day, one of them went to speak my mom and asked for her forgiveness. That person really told her the truth which made my mom so shocked.
People tends to think of ways just to make sure they get what they what and take advantage, that is why, we would need to be very careful with who we are dealing with.
