NO FEAR, NO HELPLESSNESS IN WARKA'S HANDS

By Wilhelmina S. Orozco

Why do we get sick? Most western medicine educated doctors would have an explanation right away – something connected with the physiological state of our bodies causes that ill feeling – the fever, and all kinds of illnesses of the body, mind and heart. So, the doctors would use all kinds of devices to examine our bodies; also they would prescribe all kinds of laboratory tests to be conducted on our blood, urine, feces, sputum, and heartbeat and what have you. To those who can afford that total medical check up, they have to cough up thousands if not hundreds of thousands of pesos. Others would even go abroad to make sure that only European or American doctors would attend to their health needs.

Yet in our country, we need not even go far for healing. We could be healed, that is if we would only believe in him, that our health would be restored to its normal level. Who is he? That is none other than Warka A. Adala, the Tausug Muslim healer from Zamboanga.

My Mother’s Ordeal
I remember the very crooked way a hospital dealt with my mother’s illness. She was already on the throes of death, after the doctors had prescribed insanely for three days a laxative which then lowered her blood pressure. An x-ray technician came to say that he had been told to subject my mother to x-ray. “What for?” I asked. He just replied that he was ordered to do so. What would an x-ray do for a dying person? Apparently, the doctors and the hospital itself were cashing in on her illness and had thought that because of our anxieties we would not be able to see through their evil machinations. The technican retreated after that. And so after two weeks, my relatives had to pay the hospital more than P200,000.00, after killing my mother. Her doctor was nowhere around when more than ten intern doctors had surrounded her to put a tube in her throat in order to so-called help her breathe. I had been told to leave the room as I was aghast at their procedure. Unfortunately, my mother expired before they could even start the procedure.

When I returned, I tried reviving my mother by rubbing her with herbal juices all over her body and talking to her that “Inay, Inay, kaya natin ito. Gagaling kayo.” When I used the stethoscope on her chest, I heard a faint beat and so I shouted on top of my voice, “Nurse, nurse, doctor, please come, my mother is still alive.” Like that death icon, a skeleton with a hooded robe and a scythe, a hospital messenger(?) came to the room and told me, “Misis patay na ang Nanay nyo.” I wanted to sock him right there and then, but then my instinct was still to revive my mother. Unfortunately, I did not get the proper support that I needed at that time.

Had I met Warka Adala, the Tausug Muslim healer, then, I would have called on him and brought her to him instead of that idiotic hospital which is run by an Asian foreigner.

Who have benefited from Warka? Lots of people from high and low of our society and from abroad. He heals a lot of illnesses, from hypertension, to allergies, and even cancer. One patient of his he said had a kidney problem, a Zamboangueno mystical teacher of Islam. He was already undergoing dialysis, a process by which the urine is tested. Others told him that he would never be able to extricate himself from dialysis once he starts it. Remarkably, after 3 sessions with Warka, starting on July 6,he was cured by August 5 going by the results of a laboratory test of his urine. His doctor was amazed and so told him he could already stop undergoing dialysis.

Other illnesses of patients of Warka whom he had healed include asthma, back pain breast cancer, stage three; blurring vision, chest pain, constipation, depression, diabetes, frozen shoulder, headache, hearing difficulty, hemorrhoids, herpes, gall stones, goiter, hernia, hypertension, migraine, scoliosis, sinusitis, sore throat, stomach disorders, and ulcers, among others.

Mr. Jaime T. Licauco, the parapsychology scholar par excellence wrote that the healing energy of Warka “could penetrate through the marrow of the bones and dissolve cysts and lumps with one touch. It could shrink goiter or enlarged thyroid gland. It could melt excess fat in overweight men and women…remove the most severe physical pain of arthritic patients, even those with angina or chest pains. It could clear up the eyes of cataract sufferers, or those with very poor vision….”

Warka measures his success rate at 95 % and attributes the remaining 5% to karmic situation, meaning the patient has not reconciled the present with the past. To overcome that, the patient has to undergo purification or else the illness will never go away, said Warka.

Secret powers of Warka: Bio-energy
So many people have written about Warka whose fame now extends internationally as he is sought after by scholars and patients alike. But Mr. Licauco is the very first person who has written about him after testing his powers at psychic and healing festival way back in December 2002. Mr. Licauco first learned about him through a woman, Elizabeth L. Palcat of General Santos City who had sought his help in finding out the healing gifts of Warka.

In the beginning, in 2003, when he first wrote about him, Mr. Licauco did not think that Warka’s healing powers are similar to pranic energy or bio-energy “which works through the etheric and energy bodies of the person.” However, this year, on June 21, 2011 (PDI), Mr. Licauco states with finality that “the remarkable healing done by …. Warka… would fall under “Pranic or Bio-energy, which “utilizes the innate subtle energy of the healer to affect the healing… through laying of hands, magnetic passes and similar practices.” After many successful instances of people getting healed, truly, Warka is a miracle in our midst where pill-popping and injections are more the norm when seeking treatment for the least minor illness like a headache. On hindsight, too, perhaps if the people around the British composer-singer Amy Winehouse were more attuned to alternative healing, they could have helped her overcome all her feelings of depression and dependence on drugs.
Also, fortunately, some Philippine doctors are now treading the twin paths of western and traditional and alternative healing approaches and our own Philippine General Hospital, through the initiative of Dr. Jimmy Galvez Tan, former health secretary, has a section or is it a department, already dealing with the latter.

How he began it
Before Warka started to be a healer, he was a government employee with 8 children to feed. One day, he found himself feeling depressed over some political conflicts in his place. Bingo P. Dejaresco wrote (Philippine Star, March 9, 2004) that Warka had felt something strange after suffering from a “severe, exploding headache.” Then a goiter patient approached him and asked him to lay his hand on her. Instantaneously, she got healed. “His healing prowess fame spread in Mindanao, especially after he also cured the bleeding organ of a ward of a powerful political leader in Mindanao.”

I myself went to Warka to have my asthma cured. After the first session, I felt a great relief. Unfortunately I did not return the following week as I had felt too de-energized by the housing and financial stresses in my life. Then today, I went to him again and he laid his hand over my chest again, and after about 15 minutes, he began sweeping motions over my chest. Now I feel such greater relief than the first time. I will go to him again by the second week of September.

Hope and faith in life
The most remarkable thing about Warka though is that he does not even charge a single centavo for his gift. He makes the patient decide if they want to be generous by donating to him something or not at all. One thing is sure, he does not ask for any fee.

But what really makes our Muslim brother Warka wonderful is because, beyond curing our illnesses, he gives us that feeling of being a new person, of having a new lease on life, a new beginning as our body now is restored to its normal functioning level. He restores that faith and hope in life, extremely radiates that positive feeling that everything will go well after the healing session, and feeds our mind that suffering from an illness need not be the end of everything. By the way, Warka also told me to text him should I still feel asthmatic again and he would conduct distance healing for me. This instance shows his mindset: to him, there is still life beyond the physical discomforts that we suffer from.

In that sense, Warka appeals greatly to our spiritual life– how we view and perceive our past, present and future -- which makes all that great difference in dealing with ill health, between the highly technological medical approaches and natural healing.

May God continue to shower Warka with blessings for a healthy life and may his tribe increase.
