The Loliondo Wonder

"Faith" healing is very popular in third-world countries. Most people are gullible or desperate enough to believe this practice. Some are just to poor for modern medicine, and go to Loliondo for help, And people are "cured" by a placebo. My parents used to take me to a faith healer when we were living in India. The man lived in a very small house in a slum, thousands of people knew about this man all around India. He "fixed" my mother's diabetes. Turns out it was just a type of temporary diabetes, that would have gone away it self. When I came to the US, I did some research I found out this guy was a con man, paying people to make fake doctor notes, fake symptoms and take money. Though my parents still think he a legitimate healer.
