Psychic surgery is a practice that claims to heal physical ailments through non-invasive means. It involves a psychic or spiritual healer who uses their hands to seemingly penetrate the body and remove diseased tissue, negative energies, or foreign objects without the use of traditional surgical tools or actual incisions.
Some believers claim that psychic surgeons are born with a natural gift or sensitivity that allows them to channel spiritual or healing energies. Others believe that the skills involved in psychic surgery can be taught and developed through training and practice.
During a typical session, the healer places their hands on the patient's body, often over the area where the ailment is believed to be located. Psychic surgeons claim to perform a range of procedures aimed at addressing various physical and sometimes psychological ailments.
One of the most common claims is the extraction of diseased or damaged tissue. Psychic surgeons claim that they can reach inside the body with their bare hands and remove tumours, cysts, or other unhealthy tissues. The process is usually accompanied by the appearance of blood and tissue.
Many psychic surgeons tell their patients that illness can be caused by blockages or imbalances in the body's energy flow. They claim to clear these blockages by manually removing negative or stagnant energy, often through ritualistic hand movements and sometimes chanting or praying.
Psychic surgeons are also said to remove foreign objects that they claim have been spiritually or supernaturally embedded in the body. These objects might include shards of glass, pieces of metal, or other small items that are supposedly causing pain or illness.
In addition to physical ailments, psychic surgeons may also address psychological or emotional issues. They believe that negative emotions or spiritual disturbances can manifest as physical symptoms. This sort of surgery involves the healer performing rituals to cleanse the patient's aura or spiritual body.
Psychic surgery originated in the Philippines and Brazil, where its popularity peaked in the mid-20th century, but there remain practitioners who continue to offer this form of healing to this day. Despite advancements in medical science, some people, having exhausted all other medical options, are drawn to it out of desperation. Some modern practitioners incorporate elements of New Age spirituality, blending psychic surgery with other alternative therapies like Reiki, crystal healing, or energy work.
From a scientific and medical standpoint, there is no verifiable evidence that psychic surgery has any real therapeutic effects beyond those of a placebo. Worse still, in many cases, what appears to be miraculous healing is actually a carefully orchestrated illusion.
Techniques used by psychic surgeons, such as sleight of hand and the use of fake blood and animal parts to simulate human tissue, have been documented and exposed. These findings suggest that the dramatic visual elements of psychic surgery are staged to create the illusion of a supernatural event rather than an actual medical intervention.
However, the perception of effectiveness among patients is a different matter. Some individuals report significant improvements in their conditions after undergoing psychic surgery. These reports can often be attributed to the placebo effect, where belief in the treatment's efficacy leads to a real improvement in symptoms.
The settings in which these procedures take place often offer patients a high level of personal attention, a sense of community, and a strong spiritual or religious component. For some, this holistic experience can be reassuring and can contribute to a sense of healing, even if no physical change has occurred.
So, while there is no scientific evidence to support the claims that psychic surgery can physically heal or remove diseased tissue, the practice may still have psychological benefits for some individuals. However, others might view psychic surgery as a deceptive practice that exploits vulnerable individuals who are desperate for a cure for financial gain.
Psychic surgeons might also be giving their patients false hope, potentially leading them to forgo conventional treatments that could be more effective.
