Dean Kraft is Alive and Well and Seeing Patients Again!

This notice is for all of those who have been unsuccessful in trying to reach Energy Healer Dean Kraft, or for those people now seeking the most documented Energy Healer of our time. After writing 2 books with his wife, Rochelle - "Portrait of a Psychic Healer" in 1981 and then "A Touch of Hope" in 1998 (both published by Putnam), Dean was deluged with people seeking his help. Then in October 1999, NBC-TV aired a world premiere movie based on a part of his life and second book, also entitled "A Touch of Hope", and demands for his help reached astronomical proportions. After 35 years of helping the majority of the people that the doctors had given up on, Dean has become world-renown as the most medically and scientifically documented healer there is - and this is due to his amaziang success rate and his willingness to subject himself to paranormal, medical and healing research. He subjected himself to laboratories around the country, killing cancer cells in test tubes, effecting electrostatic and electromagnetic fields at will, lowering rodent's blood pressure and effecting plant growth - his watered plants grew slower, but just as healthy as the control plants - a Fountain of Youth Effect? Dean Kraft is the only laying-on-of-hands healer (non-religious) that has ever cured ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and has helped many, many others with this deadly disease to all varying degrees. In addition to working with this terminal illness, Dean also works with many types of cancers that medical science has given up on. Strongly believing in medical science, he is not in conflict with the doctors, but works as an adjunct along side the physicians in a complementive manner. There are never any promises or guarantees that he can help - but instead of giving up when the doctors say "there's nothing more that we can do", there IS another step that people can take in order to try and help themselves with their health problems.... back problems, herniated disks, arthritis, eye and ear disorders as well as sports injuries are among the other problems that doctors can only help to a certain degree, and Dean has worked with successfully. Over the years, hundreds of doctors have recommended their ill patients to Dean. For the last 10 years, Dean Kraft has removed himself from the public's eye and has been involved in healing research and writing. But as the television movie airs frequently, as well as "Unexplained Mysteries" having aired again recently, it's come to his attention that many people on the Internet are seeking his help, and are looking for a way to contact him. Presently, Dean and Rochelle are working with a great website designer and VERY SOON they will be COMING OUT WITH A UNIQUE WEBSITE that will be extremely informative and innovative - http://www.deankrafthealer.com. Dean Kraft sincerely appreciates your continued interest in him. For further information, you can contact The Krafts via their answering service: 212. 358. 3677 (New Y

I believe Dean Kraft is for real

I did not read this book, however, I did recently watch the movie "A Touch of Hope" Normally, I don't watch movies like this, but I saw the name Dean Kraft, and my mind was flooded with memories of my teenage years. I grew up in Kansas, and at age 16 contracted shingles in my left eye. I was in severe pain, and losing my vision in one eye. It was also very unattractive. My mother read an article in the newspaper about Dean Kraft, and how he had been healing people. I was very young and didn't know how to get in touch with him, but I did get his phone number. I knew that our family didn't have the money to take me to him, so I didn't call. I have always believed that it was a mistake to give up like I did In my heart, I felt that he could have helped me. Now, at age 50, I have suffered life long misery after losing my eye at age 25. I know it is too late for him to help me now. I just know that after not hearing about him for 34 years, and seeing that movie today...he's the real thing. So, he charges a fee. Not near as much as doctors charge. I'm sure this is very draining on him and has surely kept him from pursuing other careers. A man has to make a living. If you are debating? I say...take the chance. I wish I had.

This book has helped me find a way to a cure for my cancer

I learned about Dean's book last year and was so inspired, as a Lymphoma patient whom is only 36 years old with 4 small children, I had very little hope left. After reading the book it gave me the courage and hope to try and alternative the traditional medical treatment I had been receiving over the last five years, that proved to be ineffective. Basically my doctors told me to that all they could do was PROLONG my life, however there was no CURE. Needless to say I was devastated, as my youngest baby is only two. I took the chance in seeting up an appointment with Dean Kraft, and have seen have every month for the last 7 months. My tumors are shrinking!!! My last Cat Scan looked great, and my doctors are baffeled!!!. I am currently under no other treatments, other than Dean's hands on healing. I take his book to bed with me every night and read a chapter as even though I have read it several times, it is my inspiration and continues to give me the hope and courage to fight this awful disease. Dean and Rochelle Kraft are true Angels from above, and I beleive anyone who suffers from a fatal disease MUST read this book, it will change the way you think about the power of beleiving, as it will also change your life. God Bless all, and Thank the dear Lord for Dean Kraft.

SKEPTICS, MOVE OVER! DEAN KRAFT IS FOR REAL!

This is the amazing and true adventures of the life of a REAL Hands on Healer, Dean Kraft. This is not a fiction story. This book is extraordinary! You must keep reminding yourself that this is not the X-Files, but it is all real and has been documented. Each chapter will keep you riveted as you discover what healing powers Dean Kraft posses. Dean Kraft has killed cancer cells in the lab & cured thousands of people, including some dying from ALS, (which has no known cure). The book is filled with this man's compassion and love for people. The book describes his frustrations and his drive to overcome his doubters. After all these fantastic true stories, Dean set aside a portion of the book like a "do-it-yourself" guide. He reveals his step by step instructions and by use of illustrations gives you a clear understanding that you can learn to help yourself and others with his own healing techniques. This book will blow you away,it's a must read!
