Cancer and the Druid Priest - New Mexico, 1990
by Doc Howard 

I played a lot of steel darts for a number of years while traveling around the Western States.  I must admit I got to be pretty good, I sure played a lot.  I was in a bar in Rio Rancho, New Mexico throwing darts one evening, surrounded by a mixed group of people. Most of them I would categorize as being slightly on the rough side.  Now, I try not to judge people, however it appeared to me that most of these folks were not what I would call aware. 

I had not been there very long when I heard Spirit talking to me.  I want to explain what I mean by that.  When Spirit talks to me, it is a strong voice in my head that tells me to do a certain thing.  It is more than the "little voice," and sometimes we have a difference of opinion, this was one of the times.  I was being told I could and should help this woman, who I had just seen enter the booth to the side of me.  I was NOT in the mood and ignored the prompting for a little while.  THEY would not leave me alone.  I figured that it was easier to deal with it then spend the night arguing with Spirit.

I approached the women and her husband, who were obviously having a bad day.  It is a little difficult to walk up to a stranger, introduce yourself, tell what you do, and say that Spirit told you to come over and help them.  Well, I took a deep breath and did just that.  She asked me if I knew what was wrong with her.  I do not usually label a dis-ease, but I did on this occasion.  "You have cancer in your stomach," I told her.  This really started her crying, and she told me that she had just come from the Doctors this morning where they had told her she had cancer in her stomach.   "I can help you if you want me to," I said to her, which she agreed to.  

I kneeled down to the side of her, put my hands on her stomach, and asked for a healing for her.  I worked for a few minutes then I got up to leave.  They both thanked me, and her husband asked if I accept gifts. I replied that I do and he said he had one for me.  He then told me a little story. " Before I give it to you, I have to tell you that it is broken.  When I was fourteen years old my Grandfather died.  Before he died, he told me he was a Druid Priest.  He also told me he had a gift to give me and that I would meet a man when I was older, whom I would give the gift to.  He then told me the gift is broken, and that this man would be able to heal it."

I held out my hands and he placed his gift in them.  Now, this gift was not something you could physically see, it was on a different dimension.  However, I could see and feel it. It was a stone tablet that was a couple inches thick, a foot and half wide, and two feet high.  The tablet had writing on it that I did not recognize.  I noticed it also had a crack in it as he placed it in my hands that ran from the top right corner to the bottom left corner.  The first thing I thought of was what am I going to do with this thing?  No sooner had I thought this, than the answer came.  I was told by Spirit to hold it in my hands and ask for a healing for it, as if it were a person.  I did just that, and immediately I saw the crack disappear. 

All of a sudden, I was not in the bar anymore.  My whole reality changed in an instant.  I found myself in a field in front of a domed rock.  A door hinged open and I entered inside.  In the middle of this room stood a shaft or pole.  I walked over to the shaft and sat the tablet on it.  The tablet had a groove on the backside that fit right on this pole.

As I did this, a Druid Priest appeared beside me saying he was finally free.  He continued to tell me he had been bound for many years by this magic and I had set him free.  He was bound to no man now, other than me, and that was by choice.  I told him he was not under my power or anyone else's

I then returned back to the bar in New Mexico.  When I was aware of my surroundings, was I surprised to see what was going on in the bar.  All around there were people who were healing other people.  There were girls giving back rubs and other people doing energy work.  The conversations were about spiritual matters and the energy was wonderful in the room.  It was quite an experience; I sure had "judged" this group wrong.  I catch a glimpse of this priest from time to time, I wish him well in his freedom. 

Carl's Healing - 1997
By: Carol Howard 

Doc and I had the opportunity to spend a week in Laughlin, Nevada in the Spring of 1997. While we were there, we met a man name Carl who works for one of the major Casinos in Laughlin as a Catering Manager.  He was referred to us by someone we had done some healing work on who told him we could probably help him also.  Carl had a pinched nerve in the lower back that caused him acute pain and many times immobility.  This nerve runs through the hip and leg and can make it extremely difficult to walk.  This was the state that Carl was in when we met him.  He told us he had been to see numerous Doctors and they could not find the cause of his problem.  Instead of getting better, the pain was getting worse all the time.

Carl made an appointment to see Doc and came up to our room for his healing.  We could tell that Carl had trouble even laying on the table.  Doc scanned his energy pattern and started to work with him. It did not take long to determine the cause of his pain, and this cause was going to be difficult to explain to Carl. 

Sometimes we work with people who have certain religious beliefs, and we try very hard not to step out of comfort zone.  At the same time, we feel it is important to be honest and let them know what it is that we have discovered.  The best way we have found to do this is to be honest, and keep it as simple as possible.  Carl had an attachment.  This attachment had been with him for many lifetimes.  It is basically a ghost that attaches itself to the soul personality, and when the soul incarnates,  the ghost returns again.  We usually only see this when there has been something such as a murder or betrayal committed against the attachment and they haven't been able to let it go and return to the light.  This attachment was stabbing Carl in the lower back and Doc could actually see the blade. 

Doc then performed the process he uses to contain and return the attachment to the light, and "pulled" the blade from Carl's back.  We told Carl about what we had seen and the process that had been used, and that we understood that this all must appear a "little out there" to him, to which he agreed.  He was starting to feel better right away and said he didn't care, he just wanted to be able to walk without pain.  The next day when we saw Carl, he was doing great.  He still had a little pain left and Doc agreed to work on him again that afternoon.  This was for some extra energy work to speed up the healing process.  By the end of the week Carl was out of pain and walking perfect.  He was extremely happy with his healing and referred many of his family members to us.  We haven't gone back to Laughlin since then, but we hope to go back real soon and catch up with some of the wonderful people we met there.

David's Healing - Aug. 1996
by Carol Howard 

There are so many people that come and go in our lives, it's hard to remember the details of the work we do, and it would be too much if we tried.  Once in a while we have an opportunity to really touch some one's life and the details remain as if it were yesterday.

One of these times was at the Air Show in Oshkosh, WI. in 1996. For the past few years we had helped out Ralph who demonstrated a variety of items at the show.  This particular show will bring in close to half a million people. We were there for 10 days and the days were long and usually hot.  At the end of each day things would finally quiet down and we would hang around the booth to relax and catch up on the day's events. It was on the third day, after a busy afternoon, when the subject came up about the healing work we do.  Ralph's friend Mike was interested in a demonstration and asked Doc to read his energy field.  Mike had some lower back pain that he wanted help with.  Off to the side of the booth where we were at was a grassy area, and this is where they were headed.

It is not unusual for a crowd to gather when people notice something "different" is going on, and this time was no exception.  When Doc was done, Mike was surprised with the results and was expressing his delight.  A young man who introduced himself as David that had been watching Mike's healing, now stepped up to Doc.  In a faltering voice that was hard to understand, he asked what Doc had been doing.  Doc explained that he worked with Energy Healing and was able to read the body, see the blockages, and correct the patterns, so that the body will heal itself.  David asked Doc if he would work on him. 

The way Doc reads the body is to scan the energy field or the etheric field with his hands.  Usually, he starts at the head and works his way down, doing a full scan first before returning to any particular area that requires work.  He had only gotten as far as David's temple and stopped.  I saw him read the pattern, then again, and then a third time.  Whatever he was seeing or feeling obviously had caught his attention.  He spent quite a few minutes on his head and I could tell that he was in deep concentration.  He would say a few words quietly to David and continue to work. 

His girlfriend, who stood watching the whole process nearby, accompanied David.  I could tell she was moved emotionally herself, as were we all.  Doc continued through the whole body and ended by balancing his chakras.  By this time David was in a very emotional state and I could tell that he had a profound experience.  He and his girlfriend both gave Doc a hug and left.  When Doc came back to where I was sitting, he could barely talk himself.  He told me he didn't know what had injured David, but that he could feel his pain and emotion over it.  He said he "saw" that his temple had taken a sharp hit and had "messed" up the circuitry.

The next afternoon David came by to see Doc and they went for a long walk.  David explained to Doc that he had gotten seriously hurt when a golf ball had hit him in the head, resulting in a coma that had lasted for days.  When he awoke, he had lost most of his motor skills, memory, speech, and some of his bodily functions.  He had been a semi-professional golfer, and he was heartbroken that he may never get to play golf as he did before.  He went on to say that yesterday he could barely talk, not even enough to tell Doc his story. After the healing there had been so much improvement that he had to come back and let him know.  There was something special that had happened between Doc and David, and more was yet to come.

The next evening a new and improved David visited us.  Doc and I were pleased at the continuing recovery.  David was with his father, who had come especially to see Doc.  "Thank you for giving me back my son", he said over and over.  "I don't know how you did it, but I am so grateful."   Doc explained that God is the healer, and he is the instrument, and was glad he was there to help.    David spoke of how he felt and his speech was noticeably clearer than the day before.  He said he was getting memory back and felt that Doc was an Angel.  I remember the look on his face and the appreciation in his voice when he talked of the gift Doc had given him, the gift of a better, healthier future. We saw David a year later and he was totally healed.  He thanked us again for our work and said he was playing golf as good or better then before.

The body knows what the perfect pattern is for optimum health.  Sometimes that pattern gets a little "snagged" and needs to be reminded how it really is.  When this is done, healing occurs, and so it was with David.  P.S. in 1997 we returned to Oshkosh and David looked us up and informed us he was going to massage school and working with healing.

 

DENTAL HEALING - 1992
By: Carol Howard 

The first year after we left California, Doc and I returned for many visits with my family and friends.  My family was still "warming up" to Doc, and some of the things he did pushed them out of their comfort zone.  My brother Andrew was living at home at the time and he loved Doc right from the start.  Doc has always seen the potential in Andrew, and Andrew appreciated this. 

We had been at the house for only a few minutes during one of these visits when Andrew asked Doc if he could please help his friend Sharon, who lived across the street.  It seemed that this young girl (about 22) had all her wisdom teeth pulled out at once and was suffering a lot of pain.  Doc told him he would work with her, and he had barely gotten that out when Andrew ran back and brought her to the house. Both sides of her face were really swollen and it hurt just to look at her.  I think that Dental Surgery is on of the worst things we have to deal with, it was no wonder she had all her wisdom teeth pulled at once.  Because Doc requires that the person receiving the healing ask for it, he wanted to know from Sharon if she wanted a healing.  She could hardly talk which was understandable, but she did manage to nod her head. 

Doc has so much compassion with people who are in pain like that.  He placed his hands on the side of her head and began to draw the pain out.  As he is doing this, the body is restoring itself, and the swelling usually goes down pretty quickly.  He worked on Sharon for a few minutes sending energy back into the area, then told her to sit quietly for a few minutes.  It was obvious right away that she felt better because her eyes cleared up. She went to stand up and was very dizzy.  Doc asked her to sit back down and told her that this happens to a lot of people.  "You will feel dizzy for a few minutes because of the extra energy I just gave you.  It is like over-charging the battery, and you have to let it dissipate." 

It wasn't very long before she was ready to leave, and the swelling had gone down quite a bit.  Sharon told us she hardly felt any pain at all and was very grateful for the assistance Doc had given to her recovery.  We did tell her to take it easy on her mouth for a few days, and to follow her Doctor's recommendations.  We never saw Sharon again, although Andrew told us she never had any more problems with her teeth after that.  I have always wondered, why do they call them "Wisdom Teeth," anyway?

Durango Miracle - Stuck in the Mud - Outside Durango, CO - 1993
by Carol Howard 

Doc and I had gone to visit our friends in Durango just after the winter snow had thawed, sometime in early 1993.  I remember it was still cold and it had rained for days, creating a clay-mud mixture that stuck to everything like glue. We were driving my Nissan Diesel Pick-up at the time, and headed out into the mountains to look at some land that we had heard was for sale This land turned out to be in the middle of the Ute Reservation.  We drove and drove while getting further and further away from any paved roads.  As I mentioned before, it had been raining and we had to watch carefully to where we were driving as to not end up in some very deep ruts.  We had just come around this one bend deciding we had pushed our luck as far as it would go, when we hit one of these ruts, and we sunk into the mud.

Doc and I are pretty clever in the problem solving area so we set to work figuring out a way to get us out of this situation.  The more things we tried, the deeper we sunk.  By now we were imbedded up to the axles in mud and were sliding over to the edge of the road leading down the bank.  I won't go into all the things we tried, just know it was plenty.  I could not believe the look on Doc's face when he turned to me and admitted that this was one situation he could not solve. The amazing thing I remember was how calm we were.  I told Doc that it was God's turn, we had done all we could, lets ask him to figure it out.  So Doc and I said a little prayer thanking God and all our Guidance for the help we were receiving. 

I can't remember whether it was 3 minutes or 5 minutes before we started to hear a strange low rumbling sound.  I looked at Doc and asked him, "What in the world is that?"  We didn't have long to wait as we watched a large off-road vehicle with the biggest tires we had ever seen come around the bend.  Doc and I stood there with our mouths hanging open as did the guy in the truck.  He came to a stop next to us and said, "What in the world are you doing out here?"  "We were looking at some land and we got stuck in the mud, we replied.  He then told us that if we had gone around the next corner, we would have never gotten out.  I then asked him what he was doing out there.  He told us he didn't know, really.  He didn't work on Sunday, and all of a sudden he had this urge to go out and check some oil wells.  We said, "We have just been praying for someone just like you to come and help us, we know why you are here!"

This man pulled us out without a scratch to our car, wouldn't accept any money, and said he knew that God had sent him to us.  Sometimes people say they don't think God listens to them but we tell them that he sure does!  I am very grateful for all the times, and there are many, that we have had Divine assistance.
 

Healed Her Back....
By: Carol Howard

We used to travel all over the country working at trade shows demonstrating a product we sold.  Many days we would demonstrate at our booth all day long.  This was hard work if the show was busy, but most of the time it was worth it.  The great side benefits of doing these show was the wonderful people we had an opportunity to meet all over the Country and the adventures we went on.  Most of the time I would do the demonstrating and Doc would take care of all the back-up work.  I encouraged him to do this because it left him free to do the real work we do, which is our healing work.  Inevitably, Spirit would lead someone to us or us to them at almost every show. 

At one show, when it was towards the end of the day, Doc was sitting in the back of the booth, which was next to an open aisle and a side wall.  We had put an extra chair on the outside of the booth in this aisle, and as I looked, a women in serious pain was making her way to this chair. A man had just walked up to see a demonstration of our product, and this was his wife who was with him. She asked Doc if it was OK to sit there, and he told her it was obvious that she needed to sit down.  I proceeded to talk to her husband for the next 20 minutes while I sold him our product.

Meanwhile, Doc was talking to the women and she told him that she had not wanted to come today, but it had been so long since she and her husband had gone anywhere together.  They had been in a serious car accident and she had damaged her lower back very badly.  It hurt her so much to walk that she just wanted to go home and lay down, and that was where they were headed when they stopped by our booth. 

I watched out of the side of my eye as I saw Doc talk to her.  I knew that he would approach her with the idea of alternate healing methods, I could see it coming.  Normally he wouldn't say anything, but she was certainly ready to try anything to feel better.  I decided to make sure that I kept the husband occupied so that Doc at least had a chance to talk to her for a little while.  Doc asked the women if she ever considered any alternative methods and she said she would try anything to feel better since regular therapy didn't seem to help much.  He then told her that he worked with Energy Healing or Bioenergetics.  He explained what that was to her, and she agreed that she would like to try it, right now, and right there. 

I watched as Doc worked on her back for a few minutes.  He did ask her to stand for a couple of those minutes and then she sat back down in the chair.  I finished up with her husband who was a nice man, and who had periodically kept an eye on what was happening with his wife.  I guess he must have not thought to much about it, he didn't say anything to either one of us.

When he was ready to go, she got up to walk away with him.  She said good-by, thanks and walked away, while Doc and I stood there watching them.  She was holding on to his arm when she suddenly stopped.  We watched as all of a sudden she started to jump up and down.  She was gripping hard to her husbands arm, and from 20 yards away she was yelling at him that she doesn't hurt anymore.  "I can't believe this," she was yelling, "I don't hurt!"  Her husband was stunned by this time and was standing in the aisle with a perplexed look on his face.  His wife turned back towards Doc and literally ran to him and hugged him.

"What do I owe you," she said?  "You don't owe me anything, just be well and take care of yourself," was Doc's reply.  She thanked him again and went back to join her husband who still didn't know what was going on.  I'm sure she caught him up on it later.

There is a great joy in being able to help someone and have the healing be instantaneous.  It would be great if they were all that way, but everyone if different, and it is important that we keep detached from the outcome.  The healing is unconditional, and it is important to us to work from a place of love and that God's will be done, not our own.
 

Healing Joe - 1988
By: Doc Howard

The healing center that I ran for a couple of years in Albuquerque was an avenue for me to meet and work with an incredible variety of people from all walks of life.  The center was located in the downtown part of Albuquerque, off Central Avenue, in one of the roughest parts of the city.  I wasn't worried about it because I had been raised on the streets of Brooklyn, New York, and not much surprises me.  Because of the area around me, the center attracted some pretty crazy individuals.  When I say crazy, I mean insane and sometimes dangerous.

This story is about one such person who found their way to me, and they REALLY needed help! It was on a Saturday afternoon, and we were sitting around talking when a man named Joe walked through the door.  As soon as you looked into his eyes, you knew that this man was disturbed.  He said he had heard that we did healing at the center, and asked if anyone could help him.  My friend Lee, who is also a healer and spirit specialist, was visiting at the time and offered to work with Joe, if I didn't mind.  "Of course," I told him to "go ahead," however, when I offered a little advice to Lee about how to handle this man, he brushed me off. "I got it," Lee said, "I know just how to handle him." 

Normally, I would not have offered any advice to Lee, but I know his techniques and I was pretty certain Joe was not going to be receptive to them.  I am not saying the Lee is not a very capable healer, because he is, he just has a certain process he uses, and since Joe was sitting on the fine edge of sanity, I felt Lee could tip him over. It didn't take long for Joe to go off, and when he did, it was something to see.  He turned to Lee and screamed at him in the most insane howl I have ever heard.  The look on Lee's face was priceless.  I can chuckle about it now, as Lee does, but back then it was a pretty scary sight. Lee literally ran out of the building, as fast as his feet would carry him, and I stepped in to calm Joe down. 

I asked everyone else who was there to please come back later, since I wanted to work with Joe in private.  We sat for awhile on the couch, and he got to a place where he trusted me. I asked him if he still wanted some healing work and he replied, "Yes."  I had him get on the healing table and began to work with him.  The healing Joe needed most was for emotional pain.  I started working with his heart chakra and could feel the energy being pulled through me.  I do not know how long I worked with him, or remember the healing details, but one thing I do remember will always stay in my memory.  At the end of the healing I looked down and my fingertips were bleeding.  My hands normally get very hot when I do my healing work, but this time they were literally bleeding.

I went and washed up while Joe rested on the table.  I got him up after awhile and we sat and talked for a long time.  Spirit (God) changed Joe that day, the man who got off the table was a different man then the one who got on.  I had never had my finger tips bleed before or since that day, or worked with someone as crazy as Joe was.

Healing  the Motorhome
by Carol Howard

This story is a true testimony to the power of positive thinking and that there is NOTHING that is impossible.  Doc and I were on our way to Los Angeles, traveling West on Hwy. 10 somewhere between 100 miles from where we had been, and another 100 or so to the first sign of civilization.  This means we were out in the middle of nowhere, in the desert, and we decided to pull off the side of the road for a quick, necessary break. 

The motorhome had no sooner come to a stop when we were engulfed by smoke.  If you have ever experienced being in a motorhome or car and it starts to smoke, well, you know how we felt.  Doc literally flew out the door as I grabbed the fire extinguisher.  My heart was pounding so loud I almost didn't hear the anguished cry that came from Doc as he said, "Oh no, we lost our transmission."  I called out, "are we on fire?"  I was very pleased to hear that we were not, and he didn't know why.  The transmission fluid had poured out all over the hot exhaust pipe, resulting in the smoke we had experienced.  I went outside and Doc was in a horrible state of mind.  He pointed to the 50 yards by 3-foot patch of fluid on the ground that ended under our motorhome.  My heart sank and my stomach turned.  I turned to Doc as I stepped back into the motorhome and said, "I don't accept this.  This is absolutely not happening and I will not accept this as real!" 

We had an appointment to make in Los Angeles, and it was very important that we be there.  A breakdown was not on our schedule, and I was upset, as was Doc. After he had made certain that we were not going to catch on fire, he returned inside the motorhome.  "I don't accept this either," he said.  I replied that "we create our own reality and we can change this." 

Doc and I then went into gratitude.  We thanked Spirit (God) and our guides for fixing the problem and we didn't care how they did it.  We explained that if there was a reason for us to be stopped for some reason, that was OK, but a breakdown was not.  We decided to give it an hour or so, and have some lunch.  We would check things over after that and make our decisions then.  We knew this would give the engine time to cool down and us also.  When that hour had gone by, Doc started to check all the fluids.  Brake fluid, fine, oil, fine, steering fluid, fine, transmission fluid, was also completely full.  WHAT!!  Doc couldn't believe what he was seeing; the transmission fluid was not missing a drop.  Now, I know I saw it on the ground behind us, now he was telling me something different. 

A smile came over both our faces at the same time, a miracle had occurred.  We had prayed for divine intervention and had received it.  This was not a small miracle, this one was a BIG one and we were very grateful and expressed it. Doc turned on the motorhome and put it through the gears, all worked.  With a big smile he headed on down the highway. 

We came upon a rest stop up the road and decided to stop and give it another look, just to be sure all was OK.  Again, we needed to let it cool down.  Doc went on a little walk around the area and came upon a young man with the hood of his car up.  Doc and I try to help anyone we can and mechanics is something Doc is very good at. 

He asked what was wrong and it was not good.  To make matters worst, this man was on his way to a new job in Oregon, and if he didn't get there he and his family would be in big financial trouble, he was really worried. 

I had assisted Doc in vehicle repairs before, so I know how he can improvise with what he has.  We carry with us in the motorhome a HUGE assortment of stuff to fix just about anything, but not a new thermostat for this man's car.  The piece was cast iron and not fixable, usually.  Doc made a gasket from some gasket material, mixed up some epoxy, and bolted the whole thing in place.  It settled for about an hour and it worked fine. 

The man was very thankful and we were happy for him, and he was on his way. Doc and I realized that Spirit was answering this man's prayers when we broke down. We probably would not have stopped at this rest stop if we had not had the transmission problem, or had been there to help out.  We have expressed to Spirit to please find a way to get us where we are required, without the stress we went through with our motorhome.

 

HEALING  PARASITES - 1996
By: Carol Howard 

While visiting some good friends of ours in Ludington, Michigan, Doc and I had the pleasure of meeting a man name Tim.  There are a lot of things we could say about Tim, but this story is about his brother, Bob. 

Tim had invited us to visit his family and come to dinner if we were ever in East Lansing, Michigan.  After Doc and I had finished our visit in Ludington, we decided we would take Tim up on his offer to, "Meet my family and come for dinner."  We gave him a call and he told us that his Uncle, Cousin, Brother, Father, Sister-in-law, and himself would all be there.  Doc got off the phone laughing, and said that it appeared they were setting him up for some healing work.  Now Tim had told us he would like Doc to work with his Uncle, and that was fine, but now the whole family was lining up. 

We arrived at the house and everyone was great.  Doc worked with healing on the Uncle first, who was getting up there in years.  He explained that his arms and shoulders really hurt him.  He had great results from his healing.  We sat for a while and started talking to Tim's brother, Bob who told us he had been sick for a long time.  He described how he had lost his job and about 80 pounds.  His body hurt and he could not keep food down.  Sometimes it was very hard for him to even eat at all.  Bob had been getting a variety of tests and had just been through more the day before. 

Often, when Doc is "looking" at the cause of the problem, he will see what led up to it. "Do you have a Dog," he asked?  "Why, yes I do," Bob replied.  "I don't think your dog does this often, but I see him drinking out of your milk glass while it is on the floor," Doc told him.  "My Dog knows better than that, he wouldn't," Bob said.  "Is your dog sick also, has he lost weight and has problems eating," Doc asked?  "He sure does, I guess he does," Bob admitted.  "Well, I see your Dog has parasites and when he drank from your glass, he gave those parasites to you," Doc explained to Bob, and continued,  "The energy I work with will kill most of the parasites in your body, however, you will have to eat fresh garlic cloves through the day and give some to your dog to complete the process". 

Doc then had Bob get up and he did some energy work on his body, especially his stomach area.  Bob's wife, who had been watching and listening the whole time, expressed her skepticism on the subject.  Doc told her time will tell, and asked her if she wanted to see what the energy felt like.  She reluctantly said she would, and stood up in the middle of the room.  Doc must have sent quite a bit of "juice" as he call it, because when he was finished, she started to fall down and we had to help her to the chair.  The rest of the night, she was very quite and kept looking at Doc. 

We all sat down to a great dinner, and it was the first time in months that Bob ate a full meal, and he was incredibly happy.  He told us he would start the garlic right away and could already feel a change in his body already. We later learned from Tim that when Bob went back to the Doctor the next day to get the test results, the Doctor said, "You have parasites, and we don't know how to treat them." Bob told him, "No problem, Doc healed me last night, and I'm taking garlic for the residual."

Healing the Poet - Albuquerque 1988

 About 11 years ago I owned a healing center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  This healing center was located in a rough part of town, off Central Avenue, where most of the street people gathered.  It was a daily occurrence that I was approached to "lend a helping hand," by giving someone a dollar or some spare change.  Most of the time I gave what I could, but after a while, this really got to be old.  I changed my approach by requesting a service for this donation and that is how I met a man I call the "Poet." 

I got a knock on my door one afternoon and saw a middle-aged man standing there.  He was obviously a street person, with an disheveled appearance and last nights alcohol still on his breath.  It is important to stay out of judgment with people, but this is real hard sometimes.

He asked if I had any money to spare and I told him, "I'll make you a deal."  "You take this large garbage bag and pick up the trash around these buildings, bring it back to me, and I will give you some money."

About a half hour later he returned and we walked out to put it in the bin in the back.  This bin was kept locked because people had been sleeping in them.  He came back into the center with me.  I pulled out a $5.00 bill and gave it to him.  "This is too much," he said.  "I will just drink it up."  I told him he had earned it and I wasn't going to tell him how to spend it.  "I do have something else for you if you would like," I said.  I walked over to the table where I kept a basket of different stones and picked out a black obsidian or sometimes called an Apache Tear.  I explained to him that if one friend gave another friend a Apache Tear that they would always have happiness and prosperity.  He thanked me for the money and the stone and went on his way.

About a month later when I answered the door, there stood the Poet and a friend he had brought.  The Poet looked in much better shape and proceeded to tell me what had happened to him since our last meeting.

His life had improved greatly for him.  He said that he had pretty much stopped his drinking and had called his wife in California.  He explained that this was a big breakthrough for him, and that he was going home to his wife that he had not seen in 5 years.  He then told me he was a poet, and his wife had just sent him hundreds of dollars that his publishers had forwarded to him.  He was thrilled about his future and gave me a donation for the center.  He then asked me for another stone for his friend so that he could experience good things in his life.  I gave him a couple and told him to pass one on to another friend. 

There are many things that could have contributed to the life changing decisions that the poet made, or maybe it really was the Apache Tear.

Long Distance Healing - Arden and Betty D. - 1994
by Carol Howard

The motor home show where we were demonstrating a product we used to sell was being held in Biloxi Mississippi in February 1994.  We had been to a few of them, and we never knew whom we were going to meet there.  More times than I can remember, I would be in the booth and Doc would be led to work with healing or counseling with someone and they would end up back at the booth.  This year that had happened a lot.  I never really minded, I still don't, although sometimes it got rather crowed in that little 10 x 10 space. 

Spirit works in amazing ways and we have found that we will be someplace for one reason, and that is not why we are REALLY there.  This is how we felt about this show, and our meeting with Arden.  Arden spent a lot of time in the booth with Doc.  We both liked him immediately, it's real hard not to.  He had come to the motorhome show without his wife Betty this year for she had been involved in a car accident and was badly hurt. 

Doc did some healing on Arden and he had a great experience.  They had spent quite a bit of time discussing the spiritual and religious aspects of Doc's healing work because Arden is a very Religious man.  Doc explained to Arden that God is the healer and that he was the instrument.  Many times we are asked by a client to work on someone they know.  We gladly do this; however, we need their permission.  When Arden asked us to work on Betty we explained this to him.  It is simply none of our business to decide what someone else needs in their life.  “I know you want her well, but it is ultimately Betty’s decision”, Doc told Arden.  Arden then asked us when we would be able to come to Texas to help Betty.  "I don't need to be with Betty, I will work long distance", and Doc continued.  "I would like to talk to her on the phone though, so you get her permission and I'll call her to connect the energies.  Arden was excited about this and said he would be talking to Betty that night.

We saw Arden first thing the next day where he told us that Betty would love to have a healing.  That night after connecting on the phone, Doc and I worked on Betty.  We do this by my "standing in" for Betty.  Doc works on me and we both connect to Betty.  I like this form of long distance healing for I always get a lot of energy from it and a wonderful nights sleep.

When Doc works on anyone, he does so without what he calls "fish hooks".  This means the healing is unconditional and in his heart and mind, complete.  We do not usually follow up with people to see how they are doing, not because we don't care, but because the gift is theirs and to ask how they are is a form of "fish hook".  We really love to hear back from people, the confirmations are great, but we seldom call ourselves. 

The motorhome show ended the next day and we all went our separate ways.  It was almost a year or so when we heard from Arden through a friend of ours that he had been looking for us.  When we called him we found out that he had been looking for us for months! 

After Betty's car accident, the Doctor had found that Betty had a leaking disk in her back.  He had told her it was inoperable.  She had been in lots of pain and was basically immobile. They had led a very active life up until then and this accident had devastated their lives. Betty could not wait to get on the phone.  Her back was completely healed and she wanted to know when we were going to come to visit them in Texas.  Betty sounded great and from what she was saying, felt great.  She also told us her Doctor was having a hard time understanding what had happened to her.  (That happens sometimes.)

We told them we would try to come for a visit in a few months.  This was around Christmas time and we thought it would be better to wait until it got warm. It was about a week later when we got a Christmas card from Arden and Betty.  Enclosed with the card was a large check and wonderful message of gratitude.  The check was timely and a gift not only from Betty, but also from Spirit.  Many times we are led to work with someone spend a lot of time with them and there is not an exchange of energy. 

Many people do not understand how this works, but it is very important.  We did not ask Arden and Betty for anything, but were grateful that they realized the value of the work that we had done.  So often we hear from people, "if it's God's work, why do you charge?"  We ask that our time be compensated, not our gifts.  We want to be available to do this work on a full time basis however; we live in a world that requires money to exist.  Arden and Betty have become very good friends of ours.  They have real strict Christian beliefs and we don't agree on some things, but the love is strong and rises above all else.

Spontaneous Combustion - Estes Park 1997 - Star Visions Conference
By Carol Howard

There was an amazing set of circumstances that led to our attending the Star Visions conference up in Estes Park, Colorado, but that will have to be another story.  However, one of the events that happened while we were doing our healing work will always be on our top 10 list of "unusual", even by our standards.

There were hundreds of people who were attending this conference, many with conflicting energy and opinions, and you could feel it in the air.  Doc is very sensitive to different energies, and periodically smudges his surroundings to cleanse the area.  As he was walking through the hallways adjourning the healing room, a very tall guy who introduced himself as Steve approached him.  Doc and Steve got acquainted as Steve followed Doc while he smudged.  They returned to the healing room where Doc explained to Steve the kind of healing that he does.  Steve then told him an interesting story.

On the way to the conference with his girlfriend and her friend, Mary, the three had stopped to get something to eat.  They were talking at the table about the things they expected to see and do at the conference, when Mary’s hair in front burst into flames.  Now Steve relayed this story in a very laid-back kind of attitude.  However, Doc was very surprised.  "Was it the candle," Doc asked?  Steve went on the tell him that it just happened with no apparent heat source.  They were sitting there and her hair just went up.  "Well, we put her out, and she's OK," he said.  Steve now had Doc's attention.  "Your friend has a problem and I will help her with it, bring her in as soon as possible.  I usually charge for my time, but I will work on her for free."  Steve thanked Doc and said he would see him first thing in the morning. 

Doc has told me of the many "unusual" experiences he has had over the years, most turning out to have some sort of explanation.  He had heard of spontaneous combustion all his life and had not had the opportunity to meet or work with anyone who has had a connection with these phenomena.  Mary arrived the next day about 1:00 p.m. and the healing room was crowded.  Our five friends who had come for the day, and myself, we standing around the healing area visiting. Doc doesn't usually have a problem working in a tight area, but this time was different.  He asked if we all could go out in the hallway while he worked, which of course we did.  He came out about 10 minutes later and relayed the story to us. Mary had lain down on the table while we were all standing there, and Doc had put his hand on her neck.  As soon as he had done that, her neck had burnt his hand.  He showed me the red mark that was still there.  That is when he asked us to go out in the hall.  He proceeded to tell me that when he used his regular techniques, her body got even hotter.  He said he was concerned that she was going to burst into flames on the table.  At this point, he asked his guidance for help and the voice that has identified itself before as Aton to him, came through.  Doc was told to put his hands on the top of her head, which he did.

Then Aton's voice came through Doc and said, "BE GONE NOW!"  Doc then saw a being come from Mary and he contained it.  This is part of the same technique that we use for ghosts.  When Doc tried to send it to the light, it would not go.  Then he was "told" to send it to the Sun, that it was a fire being.  When he did this, the being went gladly.  Doc finished with Mary's healing and she went on her way.  That is when he joined us in the hall and told me what had just happened.  This was quite an experience for Doc, and it is one of the few times I have seen him stunned. Upon entering the breakfast area the next day, Doc saw Mary and her friends sitting at a table eating.  He asked if he could join them, he need to ask her some questions. Mary said that she felt great.  She also expressed that she had been almost void of love all her life and the feelings she was experiencing were extraordinary.  Doc asked her when this had started in her life.  She told him that her Mom said that on her fourth birthday she went to bed as one person and awoke as another.  Her whole life had been one of depression and emotional pain.  Doc told her what he saw and asked her what her Father did for a living. "My Father was stationed in Germany at the time working for the Government.  His job was to work on the UFO recovery team."  I guess he didn't know he had brought home a being that found a perfect host in a four-year-old child.

 THAT STABBING PAIN - 1992
By: Carol Howard 

This is my own personal testimonial of the first time I had an opportunity to experience Doc's seeing abilities in conjunction with past life issues.  I wouldn't call it Hypnosis that we did, but rather a light visualization that opened up a memory I still carried at the cellular level. This story really started back in 1983, when I began to experience a small pain in the lower left side of my stomach.  It was not constant, but there often enough to cause me discomfort.  I ignored it for awhile, thinking it would just go away, but the pain became worse and more frequent to the point where my system would simply shut down.  It really got to be a problem when I went to Hawaii for two weeks.  I found myself spending a lot of time in the Doctor's office while I was there, and was miserable most of the time.  I returned from my trip determined I would find out what was happening to my body. To make a long (many years) story short, I had numerous tests to try to discover the source of the pain, and most of those tests were not what I would call pleasant.  The Doctors could find no reason at all, including food allergies, why I should be having this problem.  I learned to "live with it" as most people do when they can't find a way to solve a health issue, but I wasn't happy about it.  I was in just this state of mind when I met Doc in Albuquerque. 

We were at his friend's house when I told Doc about my stomach problem and that I would love to have any assistance he could give me with it.  He first started with an energy scan to see where the blockage was and determined the source of the injury.  He then told me he would like to do a little visualization with me and he would guide me if I got stuck.  He told me to go to a green forest and walk through this forest as if I knew where I was going.  He described the area vividly and requested that I tell him what I looked like.  I described to him that I was an Indian maiden about 25 years old and I felt I was in South America somewhere.

With Doc's guidance, I saw that I was part of a small group of Natives that lived in the woods.  We were a peaceful people and I was a very trusting person.  That is why I did not suspect that I would be betrayed and stabbed by someone I knew, and die a slow painful death with a wound in the lower, left side of my stomach.  My Father in that life turned out to be Doc.  He was a medicine man then, and he could not help me with my injury.  I survived for about a week in horrible pain, constantly begging him to end my misery.  When my Father could stand it no more, he ended my life for me by hitting me in the head with a large rock. 

Doc took me to the higher levels of my oversoul and we released that memory, clearing it out of my cellular level.  I forgave the person who betrayed me, who I know in this life, and I let the whole thing go.  Doc then did some energy work on me again, and I have not had a problem with that part of my body since.  Up until that time I had believed in reincarnation, although it was not a reality for me, until after this experience.  I have had other issues that Doc has helped me with, and I am always amazed at the implications concerning the topic of Karma and how it effects who we are now.  Doc is an amazing individual, Healer, and Spirit Specialist.  I am blessed to be able to call him my Husband and best friend, and I know he is truly a gift from God.

The Skeptic Father  - Remote Viewing
by Carol Howard 

My family has always known that I was a little "different", and did not exactly hold the views of the rest of them.  I was raised Christian and still hold most of the Christian beliefs.  I stepped "over the line," as far as they are concerned, with my belief in reincarnation, aliens, and other paranormal activities.  And I really stepped over the line when I brought my new husband Doc home to meet them.  It may have been partially because he is 19 years older than myself, or that he is almost my Father's age, but I think it had mostly to do with what he does.  "What do you DO anyway, my Father asked"? 

Doc was very patient with the whole family issue, and it was a pretty big issue. Without going through all the doubt and suspicion, respect and confirmation stages, to say the least, it had its ups and downs. 

My Father has had two double by-pass heart surgeries in the past and is now in great shape after his last one in 1991.  I knew that Doc can "see" inside peoples' bodies and I asked him to take a look at Dad's heart to see what condition it was in.

I want to say that Doc stretched one of his rules for me here.  He will not usually "look" at someone without their permission, as it is an intrusion in their personal space and a violation of what he would call "Universal Law".  Sometimes he will make an exception for certain reasons, and he felt that this would be OK.  He did ask me to say nothing to my Father about what he saw, unless he asked for it.  This was a time when my Father did not understand or believe that Doc could do the things that he can. Doc told me he saw a very small hole in the back of Dad's heart that was inoperable, and that he would be OK if he took care of himself.  He also seemed to know that Dad knew about it and was keeping it quiet.

It must have been 3 to 4 years later when we were having a discussion about Doc's ability to see in the body.  We had discussed with him this topic before and he was always skeptical, and voiced it.  He basically challenged me to have Doc look at him and I told him he already had.  Of course, my Dad couldn't let that alone, he asked me what I meant.  When I him what Doc had seen, he had a look on his face that was great.  He confirmed that Doc was absolutely right, he did have a hole in his heart, and it wasn't causing him any trouble.  He also said he had not mentioned it at all. 

 My Father is a spiritual man and very involved with his church.  He has been doing healing at the altar and Doc has helped him to see and feel persons' body and energy field.  My Father finds his work with the church very rewarding as we find our healing work rewarding.  Sometimes, different belief systems can meet in the middle and find a way to respect and understand each other.  There is certainly more then one belief and more than one room in God's house.

 

Vanita - 1992 - Colorado 
by Doc Howard

Vanita is a friend of our friend, Peggie.  I do not know her very well, although we have had a few opportunities to talk, I have done some energy work on her knee for the swelling she had.  Vanita was in her late 20's at the time this occurred, and married with 2 children. 

One day I came by to visit Peggie, and Vanita was there.  She had a piece of paper in front of her on which she was drawing a farm house with some trees around it.  I didn't pay much attention to it at first, until she mentioned that she could not stop drawing this house, and that she was sure she had never lived there.  I glanced over her shoulder and the drawing looked vaguely familiar to me.  A thought came to me and I started to ask her to place certain items in the picture.  "Where is the Kitchen?  Where is the bread box? 

Where are the stairs located at," I asked her all of these questions and more.  Vanita was on a roll.  She knew without hesitations where everything was located. 

I was now having goose bumps all over my body, and I then asked her to show me where the crabapple trees were.  "Oh, the crabapples trees are over here, do you remember when we used to have those apple fights," she said?  All of a sudden she was silent and whispered, "I remember doing that, and this house, but I know that it wasn't in this life."

It may not have been in hers, but it was in mine.  I started to shake and broke into a sweat.  I recognized Vanita as my Aunt Arleen, who died when I was a young boy in Pennsylvania.

Vanita knew this was true also, and this was more then a little spooky to her. 

My Aunt Arleen had been very kind to me in a childhood that knew little kindness.  I was raised by different people while I was growing up and abused pretty bad by them all, except Arleen.  When I looked at Vanita, I saw Arleen.  I told Vanita that I wanted to speak to her soul, the part that is still Arleen, and thank her for the kindness she showed me and that I was grateful for it.  I did talk to Arleen, and it was an experience that is still is very personal one. 

Soon after this happened, I was driving somewhere with Vanita and Carol when we were talking about my problem with claustrophobia.  I have been working on this all my life, and although it had gotten better, I could not access the cause.  She looked at me and said, "It is from the time when your cousins caved the smokehouse in on you."  There it was!  That was the memory I had forgotten!  Vanita said she did know how she knew, but that it was in her memory. 

I am still grateful for the insight that came via Vanita and the opportunity to finish up with my past.  I haven't seen her in 6 years, and I hope she is doing fine.
