Editor's Note: This piece was original published in February 2005 after the airing of ABC News (U.S.) Primetime Live program in which Randi was invited to speak about self-proclaimed spiritual and psychic healer João Teixeira de Faria, also known as João de Deus, or John of God.
During the switch to the new website, some content was archived. Since John of God is STILL actively "healing" and promoting himself, and visiting Australia later this month, we wanted to remind you that this display has been around a very long time. There are things the public should know.
The following is a slightly edited version (some material no long applicable was removed).
