Not a faith healers cure but a natural remedy...

Some ailments may be psychological or misdiagnosed by doctors. Industrial medicine doesn't cover everything.

I'd expect a better result on a wart using liquid nitrogen than throwing a spud up a crossroads or burying it in the garden.

The placebo effect imo.Tell someone they've been given a cure and they believe it.

Told the missus about this thread and she showed me a Facebook page called Armagh General Queries or something and it full of people looking for the phone number of the man who helps you find lost objects . Apparently saying "Jesus lost, Jesus found" on Facebook does the same trick. Who knew the big man was keeping an eye on Armagh Facebook pages.

The fools just need to pray to St Anthony.

Another of people here being quite blasfemous. Around the year 2000 I had an awful time with the runs and visited a nun in Portglenone. She had a good look and hoke about, put her hands over me and said something in Latin. Within 3 weeks my bowels were hunky dory and since then I've only had the runs about 10 times. These things work if you are open minded. Her name was Sister Bradley but she was since derobed over a betting scandal but still does cures from her home in Stranocum.

Put her hands all over you? Took three weeks for your bowels to clean up? A betting scandal?

I feel a novel coming on.

I hope you have convinced some of the non believers with this enlightening tale.

I remember every now and then a group would come to our town with the miraculous gloves of Padre Pio, which were fingerless gloves he used to wear to cover the blood from his stigmata. The town hall would be packed as if for a raffle or a night of Bingo and the gloves would be passed around and everyone encouraged to rub them on any ailment that needed curing. No doctor privacy there. We must have been all stone mad. That said, there was always local "Quacks" around that had cure for all sorts of things. The whooping cough could only be cured by a Quack. There was no taking the child to the doctor for that.
