Good For What Ails You: Secrets of the Bayou Healers | 1998

I know I’m a healer. I healed myself from what doctors said was not a cure. I’ve also been the outcast of my family and coming across this video made me feel so at peace. Thank you.

My Nana treated people( never charged) with Prayer & poultices , she was incredible . I was so fascinated. I wish I would have had some of her gift. I became a Lic Massage Therapist and was told I had a gift for healing, I never claimed to heal anyone, I would pray for the Holy Spirit to work through me.

Before we had doctors, we had healers ...they are and will always be with us...and we are grateful 🙏

I know for a fact God uses people to heal 🙏

I trust a gifted healer much more than I would ever trust "modern" doctors.

This popped up on my YouTube newsfeed and I’m so appreciative to God, my ancestors and spirit guides! ❤️

This is real. When I lived in Crowley, LA back in the early 80's my son became ill with heat. I knew nothing about this as I was from Tennessee. My father-in-law said that we were going to take him to a healer, T-shal. He made it clear to me not to say "thank you" or offer money. He said the healing would not work if I did either of those. I was skeptical but willing to help my baby any way that I could. As soon as the healing was done we left and my son threw up at the door of the car before we got in to leave. He then became his usual, happy, playful self. It worked. My second son got a boil that the pediatrician could not heal. Again we went deep in the swamps of Louisiana and met a lady who lived in a cajun house.....just like in the pictures. She prayed over my son and the following day the boil was gone, never to return. It works. The AMA is for profit and experiment, it has nothing to do with healing. Thank God for these beautiful Souls who love humanity over profit. 🙏

I haven't heard my great-grandfather's (the man who raised me, my father) voice in 15 years. I cried watching this. It brought back so many memories. I Love and miss you so much Pop Joe.

I healed my daughter from asthma. It has been 2 decades and she's never been bothered by it since! This is our birthright as women and we need to go back to that matriarchal way of treating ourselves and those we are tasked to care for.

It makes me sad because we really don't have elders like this anymore...MISS U GRANDMA ❤

Aww that poor guy broke my heart 💔 when he was a child they wouldn't play with him. It worked in his favor though because look at him now. He's a healer and been healed. Bless his soul.

I wished I knew the older black woman. She's very spiritual and with alot of knowledge and wisdom.

So much young people could learn just sitting and listening to old folks talk

As soon as I turned this video on in my room, my 4 year old came in and laid down in my bed and watched it with me. He has been so peaceful and calm the whole time. I KNOW that it was God that brought me here and that it was the power of God that showered him will calm stillness. Praise God!

If nothing else, Reiki, Pow-Wow & other “hands-on” techniques show us that human touch and caring are essential parts of the healing process

Ms Ella raised all 6 of her sister's babies and you can tell she really was grateful to.

Herbal plants works. God gave us the plants as food and medicine.

I had terrible pain in my left side which stopped while I watched this video. Thank you Jesus.

When I was in college. I became really ill. I came home for spring break. My mother who was a charge nurse took me to four different medical doctors who poked me but couldn't find out what was wrong with me. Then she took me to a tribal Shaman. He was dressed in a three piece suit. He just talked to me about college. He didn't touch me. He told my mother that I had four impacted infected wisdom teeth and to take me immediately to a dental surgeon. That was what was exactly wrong with me. My uncle got mad that my mother took me to our tribal Shaman. I told him that I was glad she took me to him because the other four doctors couldn't even find out what was wrong with me but now I am well. My uncle didn't argue any more after I said that.

The Bayou and the Carolinas have so much in common, these things my Grandmother taught me as a little girl. Wow.
