How belief, optimism, and prayer help families pull through severe health crises
The first time we met was at a barber’s shop. Technically, it was just four chairs fastened into the ground within a hole in a wall in the by-lanes of Hindu Colony, Dadar. He was the CEO of Eureka Forbes and I was an accomplished neurosurgeon. But, as Parsis, we were both loyal to our barber despite it seeming that the roof might crumble upon us anytime soon. For over a decade, we visited the same shop but our paths never crossed, until the day we found ourselves sitting next to each other and having a conversation through a slightly cracked mirror in front of us.
The barber knew I had trained at CMC – not the Chowpatty Medical Centre but the Christian Medical College, Vellore – and introduced us, as Marzin, sitting next to me, had gone there to get treatment for his leukaemia. “I was given three months to live. My bags were packed for the US, to enrol in a clinical trial there as a last resort, until someone told me about Vellore,” he narrated the story of how he eventually underwent a gruelling bone marrow transplant there. His wife and son stood solidly by his side all though his treatment.
“But what was even more challenging was that I had cancer in one kidney in addition to leukaemia, and the doctors mentioned that the kidney would have to be removed, which I didn’t want. So, I took it upon myself to leverage the power of the subconscious mind to cure myself,” he told me of his mantra to get better and not bitter. “I used the visualization technique along with lotus meditation and imagined the tumour shrinking every day,” he described, amidst the background noise of scissors snipping and water spraying. “The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it. I believed I caused my own cancer, and I had full faith that I could cure it,” he affirmed. When the doctors did a sonography a few months later, they were shocked to note that the cancer had disappeared. It will be a decade of being disease free next year, and he continues to help people afflicted with the big C.
Modern medicine is fraught with stories where it doesn’t have an answer. People who have been given a finite time to live have often outlived their decree. People who have been told that nothing would happen to them have collapsed and died. Healing is multidisciplinary, and just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a holistic approach to well-being. It takes faith, it takes love. The food we eat, the water we drink, the words we speak, and the thoughts we think all have the ability to heal or harm, and hence, we must choose wisely. It is not without reason that Zarathustra professed good thoughts, good words, and good deeds.
Rajesh fell of a 40-meter crane while working on the coastal road project. He was rushed to the hospital paralyzed waist down. All of 25 years old, the scans showed a fractured spine completely transecting his spinal cord. We did an emergency surgery to fix the fracture, realign the spine, and decompress the spinal cord, but based on the damage I saw at surgery, I told his mother it would be unlikely he would ever walk again. “Not only that, he may also be on a lifelong urinary catheter with no bladder bowel or sexual function,” I had to give them an honest expectation. “You did your job, doctor; now, we will do ours,” she told me as she took him home on a wheelchair. They were from a poor fishing neighbourhood, but her conviction was well-to-do. When the duo returned one year later for a follow-up, I did not recognize them until they recounted the backstory. I was agog to see him stride in unaided. “Besides vigorous physiotherapy,” which I had insisted they continue, “what did you do?” I asked, staring in amazement. “I recited the Hanuman Chalisa 108 times every day for a year,” she told me with gusto, convinced without a doubt that this would cure her son. The best news was that not only did he regain strength in his legs, but his bowel and bladder were working well too, and his wife was pregnant with their first child. Even though Hanuman professed celibacy, the prayer had worked.
When I wash my hands carefully before every surgery, a term we call ‘scrubbing’, I always say a prayer to help my team, the patient, and the family have the best outcome. If I ever find myself faced with uncontrollable bleeding during an operation, I say the Ashem Vohu prayer– sometimes I need more than one – and I have always been able to salvage the situation. “Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind,” Albert Einstein had rightly once said.
Two decades ago, my own mother was afflicted by a deadly virus that paralysed her neck down, requiring her to be on a ventilator for over a month in the ICU. Doctors were uncertain if she would come off it, but ambiguity was not something her then 85-year-old mother understood. She sat outside the ICU for 12 hours every day saying a silent prayer, sure that God would look after her daughter. When my mom walked out of the hospital, I asked my grandmother if she had been scared about losing her second daughter, the first having died in the Handloom House fire in 1982. She looked at me stoically with a kaleidoscope of faith, trust, hope, and optimism. “My God would never do that to me!” For only love — the tenacity of it, the belief in it, and the infinite shapes it can take — makes life more stubborn than death.

A LIFE-CHANGING LOTTERY WIN THROUGH LORD BUBUZA’S GUIDANCE
I can never stop thanking Lord Bubuza for the help I received. I love playing lottery games, but I had never won before. My bills were piling up, and my job was not enough to cover my expenses.
I searched online for ways to improve my life and came across testimonials from people who testified that they had won big after receiving lottery numbers from Lord Bubuza. I contacted him through WhatsApp at +1 (365) 808 5313 and explained that I wanted to win the Powerball lottery. He explained what I needed to do before providing lottery numbers. I followed his instructions carefully, and after the spell was cast, he gave me numbers and explained where and how to play.
I was amazed when I won $310,500,000 after playing the numbers he gave me. This experience changed my life, Lord Bubuza is a God on Earth. Contact him for help too by

FROM HOTEL SHEETS TO A $639,000,000 MILLION LOTTERY WINNER, THE WEDNESDAY THAT CHANGED MY LIFE:
I worked as a hotel cleaner, struggling to survive and provide for my family. The pay was often not enough for our bills, and sometimes I felt like giving up, but my sister kept encouraging me. One Wednesday at about 2:30pm, a guest came to the hotel celebrating a huge Powerball win. He shared his testimony about how Lord Bubuza, a spell caster, had helped him win by revealing the lottery numbers he played after casting a lottery spell. His story gave me hope, so I contacted Lord Bubuza on WhatsApp: +1 (365) 808 5313 for help. I provided the requirements to cast the lottery spell and he gave me the Powerball winning numbers. I bought a $2 ticket and played. When I checked my ticket, I could hardly believe my eyes. I had won $639,000,000. After years of suffering, I broke down in tears. I am deeply grateful to Lord Bubuza. My story reminds me that even after years of hardship, life can change unexpectedly. Never give up hope, lord Bubuza is a God on Earth and can help you too.

In March 2019, I was only 24 years old when my life changed in a way I never imagined. My Name is Manuel Franco, I became the winner of the incredible $768.4 million Powerball jackpot. Before that happened, I had received spiritual numbers from Chief Ade. At first I wasn’t sure what to think, but something inside me told me to trust the numbers. I followed the guidance, bought my ticket, and waited. When the winning numbers were announced, I checked my ticket again and again. I was completely shocked, I couldn’t believe that the numbers on my ticket matched the winning numbers, that moment changed everything for me. I went from being an ordinary 24-years old to becoming a multimillion dollar lottery winner overnight. I will never forget the role Chief Ade’s spiritual numbers played in my story. To this day, I still look back and ask myself how everything came together at exactly the right moment. Sometimes, life can surprise you in ways you never thought possible.

To become a lottery winner, one must first achieve spiritual enlightenment focused on positivity. I consider myself fortunate to have won a staggering $750,000,000 after connecting with a spell expert named Lord Meduza. He is incredibly sincere, and honest about their work. He opened my eyes to the concept of spirituality. When I expressed my desire to win the Mega Million, he informed me that it wasn’t in my destiny to win that but rather I am meant to win the Powerball instead, which I agreed to. After 2 weeks of intense spiritual work, I received the numbers from him and I followed his instructions to play them resulting in a $750,000,000 win on the Powerball lottery. Beware of those fraudulent spell experts who claim to have knowledge about spells but actually they know nothing. Lord Meduza is the ultimate choice for obtaining your lottery winning numbers.

I’ve been attempting to expand my wine business in my hometown in White Plains. For the past 7 years, I do play the lottery in my spare time, but on this blessed day I came across an article about Lord Meduza’s spell to win the lottery. I contacted Lord Meduza to see if it would work and after I agreed to his terms and conditions for completing the task for me, he performed his magical powers for me and within 48 hours, he provided me with the numbers I needed to play the lottery, and I followed his directions. I found out at the store that I was the winner of a $105 million jackpot. For a moment I felt uncertain but I looked again and I saw it was real. As I speak to you, My level has been elevated from grass to grace and I’ve come to know that life is more spiritual and with the Lord Meduza spell, you can actually win the lottery. Lord Meduza contacts are listed as follows..

When the Bible states we are gods of the earth, I felt this truth during my encounter with Lord Meduza, the spell master. I’m Denzel Chau and I’m here to present the individual who transformed my life from poverty to becoming a multimillionaire Jackpot victor. I reached out to Lord Meduza for assistance with winning numbers and he successfully helped me after casting a lottery spell for me. I utilized the numbers to enter the Jackpot lottery and I was announced as the winner of $368,000,000. Acquiring the numbers from Lord Meduza took 72 hours and I want to express my gratitude publicly to him for his remarkable service to humanity and for deciding to assist me during my life’s lowest moment. Not everyone is meant to win the lottery, but with the assistance of Lord Meduza, you can achieve it.

My name is Darlene M, and I never imagined my life could change so fast. I was struggling with some unpaid bills and financial stress for years, and I was constantly wondering how people are able to win the lottery so big because I sometimes play the lottery but never won any big amount, I sought spiritual guidance from Chief Ade after I heard about him, how he has been helping people with the lottery winning numbers, and not long afterwards I won the $16,000,000 MILLION Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball jackpot with the numbers he gave me. That incredible win completely transformed my life. I was able to pay off all my debts, purchase a brand-new truck, and make sure my children had everything they needed to pursue their dreams. I also chose to share my good fortune by supporting local charities and helping families in need, because I know what it’s like to struggle. I’m sharing this to remind whosoever seeing this that hope can inspire people to keep believing, even during difficult times . Email: chiefadespellhome@gmail.com || Whats App +234 901 380 6328..
