The latest recipient, according to the article filed from Rio de Janeiro by Times reporter Diana Jean Schemo, is 41-year-old engineer Rubens Farias, Jr, who operates out of the poor suburb of Bom Sucesso (Good Success). Hundreds of patients line up outside his office on weekends, often waiting from early morning until almost midnight for treatment, which may take as little as 30 seconds. Prior to these marathon treatment sessions, Farias is said to enter into a trance from which he emerges as the German-speaking Dr. Fritz. All patients are told to remain silent and trust in God. Many are injected with a miracle brew reportedly consisting of part alcohol, iodine, and turpentine. Knives, scissors and dull hypodermic needles are also routinely employed. Anaesthesia and sterilization are not. "Yes, if you or I did it, it would kill people, but he does it and it cures them," says someone. It is not clear from the article who this someone is, but it appears to be Farias' wife, Rita Costa. According to the reporter, Costa doesn't necessarily accept the possession theory, "but she does believe in the power of the imagination and personal will to overcome illness."

Apparently not 'demonic' possession.. I would like to know if these guys have ever had contact. Personally I don't know what to think. :hmm:
