This is something
Here I am also in Chimayo and, per usual, expecting a miracle.
Have you read The Healer of Los Olmos ?
It is not so easy to get and it is not to everybody's taste, but it is an interesting little volume and I like it.
There was in the early years of the 20th century in Texas a Mexican healer who believed he had been commissioned by God to help people by healing their illnesses.
He prescribed simple actions and remedies and became locally famous,
Of course, he was working with mainly uneducated and often very poor folk--and most often Spanish speaking "Mexicans".
The cures he prescribed often worked and yet they had most often absolutely nothing to do with logic or scientific methods.
He said the the faith of the patient was the important ingredient in the healing and he most often used the Spanish formula "En le Nombre de Dios" to focus the patient's desire for healing and consciousness.
So it is.
He was definitely a faith healer
