Online Reference For Body, Mind & Spirit

Term: José Arigó

DEFINITION:

(1921–1971) Also known as Zé Arigó, he became famous as the first "psychic surgeon" as the result of a book, Arigo: Surgeon of the Rusty Knife, by John G Fuller. He would go into a trance and become overtaken by the spirit of a Dr. Adolf Fritz, who would use the body of Arigó to perform surgeries using common kitchen utensils or even his bare hands. Although some disbelievers have claimed to debunk him, thousands of people came to him for healing. An auto accident took his life.
