A Pathologist Puts Divine Healing Under the Microscope
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) -- Dr. Fidel Cholo Fernandez, a 57-year-old pathologist from the city of Zamboanga in the Philippines, spends his days studying diseases under the microscope, but he also is a believer in divine healing.

Fernandez is one of more than 220 doctors, scientists and medical professionals from 30 countries who are gathered in Brisbane, a city that earlier this year was devastated by floods, to participate in the 8th World Christian Doctors Network "Spirituality and Medicine" conference
Held on June 11-12, 2010, the medics -- many of whom pray for their patients as well as giving them more usual treatment -- to explore whether miracles still happen today and, if they do, to provide medical data to prove them.
The doctor's believe that all "miracles" should be provable by data, and so they are giving case studios that are presented with the data flashed on large screens in the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The Philippines-born doctor told me about a particular healing -- the story of a Korea Christian called Deacon Han who had been diagnosed with early gastric cancer following an endoscopic study on September, 2002.
"Deacon Han received an endoscopy test once again on December, 2002, but a biopsy was not performed at that time because the lesion had not improved," said Dr. Fernandez. "He was told that he should undergo an operation for gastric cancer, he didn't because he had a belief in God."
The patholgist said that Deacon Han had traveled from his home town to the Manmin Central Church in Seoul where he received prayer for his sickness from Dr. Jaerock Lee, the senior pastor.
"From that moment, he gained weight and was sure that he was healed," said Fernandez. "Finally, he confirmed his healing two months later by another endoscopic test at the local internal medicine clinic, when no vestige of the gastric cancer was found. After a year, an endoscopy and biopsy test was done to him by the doctor who diagnosed his original case and finally the doctor gave his report that the patient didn't have the symptom of gastric cancer."
"It was a miracle," pronounced Dr. Fernandez.
I then asked this charming doctor if he had ever experienced a personal miracle in his own life.
"Well," he said, "the best example would be my son who was born with a congenital disease. Before he was born, the doctors told me that he could only live possibly for one year. We were pushed against the wall and my wife Leticia, who is a nurse, and myself, just relied on prayer and he's now in his mid-twenties so that's a great miracle for me."
I then asked Leticia, 53, why she had come to the "Spirituality and Medicine" gathering.
"I have worked with the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN) since 2005 and I've become active in the organization and have even invited doctors and other medical workers to attend the conference," she said. "I am finding that there are a lot of doctors who believe in miracles, but some others are still skeptics."

On the first morning, delegates were given a message by Dr. Gilbert Chae, President of WCDN, who said, "I give thanks to God that He enabled us to hold the 8th WCDN conference in this beautiful country of Australia.
"In the trend of the world that loves money and pleasure and puts focus just on freedom, we are living in a world where the Darwinian evolutionism is widely spread along with the development of science.
"Many souls are going to the world without having knowledge of God. It is a world when it is difficult to discern between the good and evil for there are just so many things that are against the word of God, including the proliferation of the acceptance of homosexuality and abortion.
"In this kind of trend, this WCDN conference will try to provide moral guidelines to the Christian doctors in an attempt for us to become a beam of light in that world that keeps on darkening."
Dr. Mieke Kuiper, a Dutch-born family physician who has worked in and around Brisbane for 30 years, and is Chairman of the organizing committee of the WCDN Conference in Brisbane, said, "We now are living in the most exciting days of all times – the closing of the end of the ages (Matthew 18). The earth's birth pangs have begun, the natural disasters now occurring in increasing magnitude.
"News of new earthquakes is almost weekly (Mathew 24.8). Australia has seen some of its worst flooding and cyclones this year, coming after crippling draught."
Dr. Kuiper went on to say, "The earth is waiting for the sons and daughters of God to arise and bring freedom and restoration."
She also said, "Australia, wake up, wake up!"
The conference continues tomorrow (Sunday). For more information, go to: www.wcdnaustralia.org
Next year's conference will take place in Nairobi, Kenya.

A father and son miracle
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) -- About 18 months ago, a Korean GP received the news that a young patient had been seriously injured in an auto accident and was close to death.

2. Hae-Dong Yeo pictured in Brisbane
Dr. Brian S. Yeo, a Seoul-based general practitioner, was speaking on the second day at the 8th Annual Christian Medical Conference, to more than 220 doctors and medical professional who were gathered to examine whether miracles still happen today.
As he spoke, he showed on large screens, medical data about this seemingly impossible case.
Dr. Yeo began, "In the evening of October 7, 2009, this boy was hit by a taxi on a crosswalk in Seoul. The taxi hit his left pelvis and he flew about 20 meters in the air and hit the road starting from his right skull.
"As a result, he had multiple skull open fractures, traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, stupor mental state, and a pelvic ring fracture.
"He was taken to the ER and underwent emergency surgery and emergency craniotomy and hematoma removal was done."
Dr. Yeo, who is also General Secretary of the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN), sponsor of the two day "Spirituality and Medicine" Conference held June 11-12, 2011 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, said that after the emergency operation, he received a "massive blood transfusion."
He went on, "But still his hematocrit and platelet levels kept on falling. The doctor said he had little chance of survival."
Dr. Yeo said that he is a member of the Manmin Central Church in Seoul, and that much prayer went out for the young boy whose life hung by a thread.
"God looked after the child," he continued. "The hematocrit and platelet levels stopped falling down, and he was slowly making a recovery."
He said that when his senior pastor, Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, laid hands on a photo of the boy and his recovery was speeded up.
"The acute state after the accident was considered to last at least three months, but it lasted only two months," he said.
Dr. Yeo said, "He recovered very quickly and was released from the hospital. Two months later, cranioplasty was possible. All the expected sequelae of the skull and brain injuries were also recovered clearly.
"Now he is a perfectly healthy boy. Before the traffic accident, he has some love for the world, but after he was healed by the prayer of Dr. Lee, he changed and he now looks up to God only. Now he is in the 7th grade and is studying hard.
3. Dr. Yeo, his son, and Dan Wooding
"This is one of the good examples of the space and light being formed around the boy, so he was protected, and his cells, tissues, and internal organs recovered very quickly."
Then Dr. Yeo shocked the audience revealing that this boy was his own son and then invited him to come onto the stage and the boy shared his story in English.
His name is Hae-Dong Yeo, he is aged 13, which he concluded his moving talk by thanking God for his own miracle and he closed with, "Praise the Lord."
There wasn't a dry eye in the hall as this father and son embraced to celebrate the power of God in both of their lives.
It truly was father and son miracle.

Top Korean doctor reveals why he believes in spiritual healing and is now dedicating his life to investigating miracles that cannot be explained medically
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) -- Dr. Joonha Hwang, a top South Korean doctor who graduated from medical school in in his homeland, has a medical license as well as a PhD in Neurophysiology, has revealed why he believes in spiritual healing.

2. Two doctors from Brisbane, Australia -- Dr. Mieke Kuiper and Dr. Irene Jacovou – who helped organize this year's conference
In an interview during the 8th Annual Christian Medical Conference held in Brisbane, Australia, from June 11-12, 2011, he said that he has given up his medical practice to dedicated his life to investigating miracles that cannot be explained medically.
Dr. Hwang, who is vice-president of the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN), based in Seoul, South Korea, the group who organized the gathering that attracted some 220 doctors and medical professionals from 30 countries, said that it is important that medical data be examined about claimed miracles as quite often medical people are skeptical about whether they are real or not.
"We have uncovered many testimonies of how the power of God has healed patients and when doctors hear this kind of news, they become curious," he said. "They want to know if it true or just a story that someone has made up.
"So that is why we put on these 'Spirituality and Medicine' conferences each year and then present medical data before and after the patient got prayed for. As far as I know, we at WCDN are the only Christian medical organization that invites doctors to come and hear from other doctors and are then able to openly discuss the evidence of divine healing."
Dr. Hwang is now fulltime in the WCDN ministry and so I asked him about how it began.
"WCDN held its first conference in in Korea in 2004 and since then we have gathered each year in various countries around the world which have included India, the Philippines, the United States, Norway, Ukraine and last year in Italy," he said.
Why was Australia chosen for the latest conference?
"Australia," he replied, "is a very westernized and secular country with what we first thought were just a few doctors who were interested in divine healing.
"At first, we were actually worried about inviting Australian doctors because, as I said, it is so westernized and very secular, but we are pleased to say that we found some very good Christian doctors here who are interested, in fact very enthusiastic, about using the power of God in medicine. So I am very happy about that."
Like with all of the WCDN conferences, the Brisbane event featured doctors who presented case studies on what they claimed were "miracles" and showed on a big screen the medical date to prove how desperately ill the patient had been and then told the story of that patient who had been healed in a way that could not be explained other than God had done the curing.
"The doctors present the cases and then allow the other doctors to ask any questions about that particular case and the presenter answers them," he stated. "Of course, the doctors who ask the questions have great knowledge about medicine and so they are able to judge the validity of the presentation."
1. Back from the Dead. Dr. George sharing his story
2. Some of the Kenyan doctors inviting delegates to next year's conference in Nairobi
One amazing case what that presented by Dr. Sean Thomas George, an ethnic Indian doctor who is now a consultant physician in a West Australian hospital.
"I was dead for 1 hour and 25 minutes, but came back to life after my wife prayed a simple prayer," said Dr. George, who provided all kinds of medical data that put on a large screen for the other doctors to check out.
He said that it on October 24, 2008, he returned from the dead to amaze colleagues who had battled for almost 55 minutes to revive his lifeless heart.
He said that the story began when, five days after running a medical clinic in Vanuatu, Dr. George was returning from a clinic session on the south coast of Australia with his intern when he felt minor chest pains and was "unusually hot."
He went on, "I decided to stop the car and, as I got out and still feeling the discomfort, I called my wife, also a doctor, to let her know what was happening. She suggested that I drove straight home to Kalgoorlie."
Dr. George said that as he did, he felt "divinely directed" to enter a clinic in Kambalda, 50 kilometers (31.6 miles) short of Kalgoorlie, where he used an electro-cardiogram (ECG) to diagnose a heart attack and receive the few drugs they had there.
"The pain," he said, "was getting worse and 11 minutes after the ECG my heart completely stopped beating. Not only did I have a heart attack but I went into cardiac arrest."
For the next 60 minutes, a team of doctors and nurses used over 4,000 chest compressions and gave him 13 electrical shocks but neither his heart nor lungs responded. After one hour and 10 minutes, the doctor was pronounced dead.
Ten minutes later, his wife arrived from Kalgoorlie and was told she go in and say goodbye.
Dr. George continued by saying, "Being a doctor herself, Sherry knew that medical science had proved that if the blood supply to the brain was cut off for over three minutes the brain would begin to die, and in 20 minutes the brain would be completely dead. But as she and I had trusted Jesus Christ as Almighty God and Savior, she decided to humbly ask Him to intervene.
"Holding my hand, she prayed, 'Lord Jesus, he is only 39, I am only 38 and we have a ten year boy. I need a miracle.'
"As soon as she said this it was as though someone had breathed life into me again and my heartbeat came back."
Four hours later, Dr. George was flown to Royal Perth Hospital where doctors carried out an emergency procedure to clear a severely blocked artery on the right side of heart.
"The doctor thought I would not survive, and even if I did, I would be completely brain dead on a ventilator. In Perth ICU, I had kidney and liver failure and was still in a deep coma."
Three days later, on Sunday, after all the odds, the doctor opened his eyes. The next day, he was moving his hands and legs.
On Wednesday, he was fully conscious and off the ventilator, and his memory and brain were fully functional. Then two weeks later, he was discharged and returned to full-time work after three months of steady recovery."
As he reflected before his medical colleagues on these miraculous events, Dr. George says that he believes God wanted to teach him some important truths.
"It has proved to me that Jesus really is Creator God and Sustainer of life and that He hears and responds to the humble prayers of His servants," he said. "I now also understand that eternity is only a breath away.
"The experience has definitely grown my relationship with God. I am now more conscious that are only that we are pilgrims on this earth, and that this life is only for a short time. So we need to focus on what lies ahead in eternity."
Now back to Dr. Hwang. I then asked him what he would say to doctor who do not believe in divine healing and does not believe that God can heal.
"I want to say that please come to one of our WCDN conferences and you can see for yourself, the evidence of divine healing backed up with clear medical data and then you can ask any questions about your doubts or curiosity, and you will become convicted that God is working now just as he worked in the past in the Bible period."
He then revealed that next year's conference will be held sometime near the end of May in Nairobi, Kenya.
"We have had a wonderful group of Kenyan doctors who have traveled to Brisbane from Kenya and we are hoping that doctors will attend from all over Africa, as well as many other countries of the world," said Dr. Hwang.
