À propos de cet audio

 Imagine a surgeon who could reach inside your body with his bare hands, pull out a diseased tumor, and leave no scar. No knife. No anesthesia. Just a miracle. For thousands of desperate patients, this wasn't a dream—it was a trip to the Philippines to see a man named Tony Agpaoa.

But what if the miracle was a lie?

Welcome to the twisted world of Psychic Surgery, one of the most elaborate and cruel medical hoaxes in modern history. Was Tony Agpaoa a gifted faith healer, or a master of pseudoscience and sleight of hand, preying on the vulnerable? We follow the money and the deception, uncovering the FTC's battle against the fraudulent travel tours that sold false hope for a fortune.

This isn't just a story about a brilliant con. It's a deep dive into the psychology of belief, exploring:
The powerful, documented reality of the Placebo Effect and how our minds can create real healing.
The crucial questions of medical ethics: When does hope become harm?
How to spot the warning signs of unproven medical treatments and protect yourself from medical fraud.

This is the unbelievable true story of gruesome theater, desperate hope, and the razor-thin line between belief and biology. If this episode makes you think twice about the next miracle cure you see, our mission is accomplished. Share it with a friend who loves a good medical mystery.
