as i said, sometimes it worked. when it worked, its usually that the fever goes away in a couple of hours. i'm not fond of paracetamols. not then and not now. when it didn't work, then its hilot for us kids, which i hate even more...hehehe. or we're forced by my mother to drink aspirin/paracetamol. but these illnesses can be cured by our bodies itself, given time.
not sure if what he's doing is pranic healing but the gestures are the same. i've never asked what he's doing. the family just take it all in faith. maybe faith healing?
