Stephen, Everybody, I'm happy that this discussion is open to other topics of the so-called alternaties, and not just colloidal silver! I'm supposing that a reason that you couldn't find much information in a Google Search is because of the skepticism around spiritual healing, and that's analogous to what we expereince with CS. It could be that some editors just blow it off. A kind of reviewer is the author of the book, Edwina Cerutti, and searching for her on Alta Vista, I got fifty seven results. One of these concerns an article that was in a 1974 issue from the Baltimore Sun:
http://www.silvamethod.com/rp/docs/SPPH_crenshaw.pdf Another reference is from, www.wiccanweb.ca : http://www.wiccanweb.ca/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2049 In this reference is an accounting of woman who was standing in line for the laying on of hands by th Worralls, "....when it was this woman's turn, she fell over backwards in the sort of swoon witnessed at many a big-tent revival. Olga, with that characteristic demeanor of hers that managed to be both maternal and imperious, quickly walked over to the woman's stretched-out form, leaned over her, and said in an even voice, "Young lady, get up! We don't do this sort of thing at our church."? Instantly, the woman got to her feet and made her way back to her pew, newly taught that the Worralls were a very different kind of faith healer than any she had seen before." Imagine that the healer had un-masked the fraud who was "waiting to be healed! Another reference is at, http://www.answers.com/topic/olga-nathalie-ripich-worrall where there's a good description of the work of Olga and Ambrose. I did look for obituaries for Ambrose and Olga from the Baltimore Sun, and they died in 1972 and '82 respectively. However the papers' obituaries seem not to be searchable prior to 2001. The best I can suggest is to read the referenced book, and the author, Edina Cerutti is herself a good critic. She started out as a complete skeptic, but quickly became convinced. Skepticism was typical (just as it is with CS!) but many, many people were won over, when their debilitating illnesses were healed.

Not even reviewers of the books. Curious as to how they had such an impact on you, if not too personal? - Steve N From: A. Reid Harvey <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Fri Jul 24 13:01:17 2009 Subject: CS>healing hands Hi Everybody, These days I only participate in this discussion occasionally, but I continue to be very grateful for what I've learned here. Please open your minds to what I'm about to tell you, since so many of us who deal with CS know skepticism very well! Years ago, as a child, I had the opportunity of a passing acquaintance with a couple who were both spiritual healers, named Olga and Ambrose Worrall. I feel certain that they have been among the most gifted healers of the past sixty or seventy years! There's a wonderful book that's available in libraries, and at Amazon, entitled, Olga Worrall Mystic with the Healing Hands, by Edwina Cerutti, published by Harper and Row in 1975. Olga and Ambrose were both clairvoyant from an early age, but had experienced so much skepticism that they didn't talk about this to anyone. Nor did they tell each other about their respective gifts, until they became engaged! Then they decided to dedicate their lives to spiritual healing, never receiving payment! The work of Olga and Ambrose had a profound influence on me, from the age of sixteen. Now I cannot read their book without shedding an ocean of tears.
