Faith Healing

People can claim to heal by Gods power, but be wary. There are people who use the opportunity to run scams. See Peter Popoff, as James Randi investigates him. Peter Popoff makes millions from this, while the person suffering from the illness does not improve, and finds out they lost money to him. There are many scandals which have been done in faith healing.

When finding the patients who were supposedly healed during the show, they find that some were hired actors who did not have the condition, some were given walkers when they went in who didn’t need them, later reports of no healing having taken place, and people throwing their medicine away when that could have helped cure their condition.

“Popoff’s shows also featured audience members who were brought on stage in wheelchairs and then rose dramatically to walk without support. Two in particular were celebrities Kyle Ellsworth and Petrina Dy. These were some of Popoff’s most incredible “healings”, but what believing audience members and television viewers did not know was that wheelchairs were used by Popoff to seat people who were already able to walk”
