Most of these 'healers' are just plain con artists. They prey on desperate souls, give them false hope and some sexually assault the victims repeatedly under the diguise of healing mumbo jumbo.

They should be sent down the hole forever.

Desperate people who cannot afford to go to a proper doctor will try anything as an alternative to death.

Thing are pretty screwed up when someone is prosecuted for sending an email to friends telling of rape, but this monster can apply his sick trade with impunity.

Since when are breasts organs and have to say this is dangerous business, averting women from real healthcare..Sure they need to come back many $$ times. Sigh.


Pekanbaru, Riau. A practitioner of alternative medicine claims he has cured hundreds of women of breast cancer with the help of a most unorthodox medium — leeches.

H. Ismail, who runs an alternative medicine clinic at his modest home on Jalan Hangtuah here told Antara his cure for breast cancer makes it possible for women with the disease to recover without undergoing surgery that often implies the loss of one or both of the organs.

“I have not kept a record of the numbers but I think I have treated hundreds of women over the years and most of them were cured,” Ismail said.

Ismail’s standard method of treating breast cancer is putting two leeches on the diseased breast and allowing them to remain there for some time. At the initial stage, the procedure must be repeated by the patient herself three consecutive times.

Then, the patient can take a break of three days and undergo a medical check to see if there is any change in her condition. If there is a change but no complete cure yet, the patient must continue the leech therapy while taking vitamins to keep fit.

“In most cases, it is not enough to do the therapy only three times. Often, it has to be repeated many more times and the patient must exercise patience,” he said.
