    From an unbeliever
    I think I don't believe in this kind of healing, or not really (I was raised with a lot of psuedo healers, which doesn't help), though I like to keep a somewhat open mind. I do strongly believe in the power of placebo though. But you know, whether or not things were really happening (which didn't even seem to be the primary focus), I thought this was a beautiful documentary, done honestly and with integrity. The people with their sufferings touched me, and Joralf really won my heart, such a pure soul.
