Craft traditional healers thrives on fear, despair and ordinary medical ignorance. It is easy to find excuses for those who traditional medicine can not help. But when people instead of proven and effective methods to choose shamanism, it can lead to unpredictable consequences. Their stories shared with us patients who have experienced the magical power of the witch doctors on their own experience.
History 1. Pityriasis rosea and live chicken
17 years ago after pneumonia I got pityriasis rosea. Now I know that it occurs because of low immunity and goes by itself. But then it seemed to me that the spots on the chest and the neck will not work ever.
In the hospital I was prescribed Allergy pills and ointment against the itching, is advised not to be scratched and sent home. The effect promised in a month. Of course, two weeks nothing has changed, and I turned to a traditional healer Anna advertised in the newspaper.
She said that the illness will definitely have to roll the egg but you would need to bring a live chicken, which he demolished. About store-bought eggs couldn’t be considered.
Anna wore an attachable braid of artificial hair and large gold earrings. Distinctly remember her apartment, hung with carpets and cardboard icons. She said that the illness will definitely have to roll the egg but you would need to bring a live chicken, which he demolished. About store-bought eggs couldn’t be considered.
Download the hen and mom helped me. Few days later Anna called our house and called the session. 15 minutes rolled the egg on the neck, said a prayer, then gave the egg and told me to bury him in the morning at the crossroads. I did everything according to instructions, but the miracle did not happen. Spots still three weeks to adorn the neck, and then began to lighten and completely disappeared as the doctor said.

Story 2. The exostosis of the tibia and the miracle grass
The exostosis of the tibia looks like a small bump below the knee. For a long time he did does not bother me, but in 12 years began to grow rapidly. Such growths are removed by surgery, but before surgery, I passed through the hands of healers, which my parents have advised friends.
The place of power was located in 20 km from the city and looked like an ordinary rural courtyard. Healers sold mom dry grass for 200 hryvnia rather big amount for 2004. What was this herb? Didn’t know neither I nor the parents.
Medicinal teas I drank for three days, and then on his chest there were large blisters similar to a burn. Mom suggested that the way out of the illness.

Blisters went a whole week was painful and sad. Since then, after each of food poisoning in the same spot red spots remind you about a wonderful medicine.

Story 3: Warts and rotten thread
At the age of 7 I was taken to treat the warts to the Tatar grandmother. She spoke Russian, looked very old and frightening. Tied my fingers in the thread, something was quietly reading in a strange language, spat over his shoulder. After the procedure, the thread had to be buried in the ground. I was told that the warts will be held as soon as the thread rots, but in three years nothing has changed.
Parents need to think 100 times before taking the kids to such places, otherwise, they’ll have a fright flick.
In the end, I was taken to an ordinary doctor, prescribed burning nitrogen and homeopathic tablets. Warts disappeared in 1,5 month and never came back. But the session I still can’t forget how, and persistent psychological complex: the Thread rotted away, the warts are not mean to me that something is wrong? I think parents need to think 100 times before taking the kids to such places, otherwise, they’ll have a fright flick.

Story 4. About infertility and 5 thousand hryvnias
At 16 I had an abortion. Everything went without complications, but when after 7 years, my husband and I decided to have a child, I could not get pregnant for six months. Then I was dreadfully frightened, and decided that it was God’s punishment. Several times I went to Church, confessed and put candles under each icon.
The husband knew everything and quietly asked me to go to the gynecologist. I was afraid of getting the diagnosis of infertility, because a long-delayed consultation. Finally, I decided to go to the healer, who specialized in women’s diseases.
I was afraid of getting the diagnosis of infertility, because a long-delayed consultation.
The woman immediately asked me about abortion. Then I thought that she’s really a seer, but this question is very logical and it sets the gynecologist in the first place. Listened to my story, the cards, taken for consultation 300 hryvnia, and said that would cure me for 5,000 hryvnia. Such money at me was not, and if the husband found out, to whom I went, he’d only laughed in response.
I’ve been worried, but in the end decided to refuse the help of the healers turned in female consultation. No pathology tests showed. The doctor prescribed folic acid and vitamins, I kept the diet with minimal carbs, then successfully got pregnant. We now have two kids and I’m still ashamed that I fell for such a stupid trick.

Story 5. Low back pain and the imposition of hands
I’ve always had problems with posture, at the Desk I was sitting in the most incredible poses, but the main reason for my degenerative disc disease heredity: he has both parents. Even knowing this, they still first decided to take me to the healer that treated musculoskeletal diseases by the laying on of hands. Now this would not have repeated, but in 17 years, parental authority is Supreme, even over common sense.
Remember apathetic woman who had a long carrier on my back and arms much the sting on the lower back. After winning the crunch they let me go in peace, promising miraculous healing. But then neither the healer nor the parents did not know that I have cervical degenerative disc disease and my lumbar is all right. Of course, the miracle did not happen, degeneration in the cartilage inevitably progressed, has not yet led me to x-ray study.
Since then, with the neck pain I’m dealing with pills, massage and injections, but from the realization that such quackery thrives in Ukraine and popularized, still not myself.
