The first day is already sold out. This will be his only visit to the U.S. in 2007.<br \/>\nJohn of God was the subject of an ABC special several years ago. The network&#8217;s online write-up <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Health\/Primetime\/Story?id=482292&amp;page=1\" target=\"_new\">here<\/a> doesn&#8217;t conclude JofG was fake or insincere, but the producers clearly struggled with buying into his mysterious methods. As I recall, the show was a bizarre mix of gushing testimonials in no way undermined by reports that John owns an impressive Brazilian cattle ranch, despite the fact he charges no fees.<br \/>\nAs to his abilities, John himself is modest. He is only a vehicle for God&#8217;s divine love and healing power, he says.  He dispenses special herbs to his clients, and performs &#8220;psychic&#8221; surgery when necessary (that involves no knives). Some of his manual procedures are performed up the nose where he may somehow be influencing the pituitary gland.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve met people who swear John of God changed their lives and resolved major health issues.  By profiling five people who&#8217;ve sought his healing assistance, ABC&#8217;s producers revealed he has a surprisingly good track record.<br \/>\nWhatever&#8217;s the case, I&#8217;m confident that Omega&#8217;s workshops will be hugely popular, memorable events. If you&#8217;ve ever considered traveling to Brazil to see him in action, you might consider this New York venture an easier way to go.<br \/>\nDo you know anyone who has met with him? I&#8217;d love to hear your stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York, has announced that the famous Brazilian healer John of God is coming to conduct workshops October 1-4.
