I N 1973, AS a young man and recent graduate from Yale College, I was chosen by Rod Serling, the creator of the fabulously provocative and successful television series The Twilight Zone, as his researcher and production coordinator for the NBC television documentary In Search of Ancient Mysteries. In my capacity as researcher I traveled from the Nazca Lines in the deserts of Peru to the primitive art caves of Lascaux in France to the ancient astrological observatory outside of Delhi, India, and to locations in the Middle East and all parts of the globe. In all those travels I never encountered a mystery more puzzling than that of Dr. and Master Sha. How could reports of instant healings of deafness, cancer, lupus, back injuries, and knee injuries be true? How could the reports of his ability to empower others to also perform such healings be true?
I was determined to discover the truth or falsehood of this mystery. I left no stone unturned. I have a degree in anthropology from Harvard University. I studied medical anthropology with the foremost authorities in this subject area. I knew what to look for. I was not going to be fooled or easily convinced. I interviewed dozens of Dr. Shas students, scores of those whom he had claimed to heal. The following is my report on this incredible mystery and my own journey of discovery. But lets start our story at the beginning.
I was driving to the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel to meet with my new client Dr. and Master Sha. Dr. and Master are both terms of respect. Dr. Sha did not achieve them without effort. Dr. Sha had studied and earned a medical degree in Western medicine, a doctorate of traditional Chinese medicine, including Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and Chinese massage (Tui Na) in his native country of China, as well as a certified doctorate of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture in British Columbia, Canada. Dr. Sha was also a grandmaster of Tai Chi, Qi Gong, kung fu, I Ching, and feng shui. In China such experts are given the honorific of Master. Dr. Sha was therefore both Dr. and Master Sha. He was not born with either title but merited both. As I was approaching Beverly Hills, I received a phone call from a colleague, Amish Shah, who would be attending the meeting. His name ironically was also Shah, but spelled with an extra h. Amish Shah is an internet marketing executive. I had asked him to join the meeting to advise Dr. Sha on developing a more accessible website and internet strategy to reach the wide general audience for whom he was writing his books.
Amish apologized as he asked me, Bill, I know this is short notice, but I have a friend, Naada Guerra, who was in a terrible bus accident a month ago. She has heard about Dr. Sha and would like to know if she could join us for lunch.
We are scheduled to meet Dr. Sha in twenty minutes, and I am not sure I can get a bigger table since we are already ten people for lunch, but bring your friend. Knowing Dr. Sha, Im sure he will meet with her even if only in the lobby of the hotel, I replied.
I turned out to be correct. Dr. Sha told the others to go ahead and sit down, and he would meet with Amishs friend and give her a healing right there in the lobby of the plush Beverly Hills Hotel. He had never met this woman before. Since I was the one setting up the meeting, I knew that neither she nor Dr. Sha could have had any idea that they would be meeting that day.
When I met Naada, I saw a lovely young woman with a hideous Frankenstein-like left eye. She had been riding in a two-deck open-air bus a month previously. A tree branch had struck her left eye and shattered her eye socket. The left side of her face was somewhat deformed and she had no movement whatsoever in her left eye. Her doctors had explained that they had done all they could to save the eye but that it would take at least six months before the eye would heal sufficiently for movement and the possibility of a second operation to restore her vision. I am somewhat squeamish and could hardly bear to look at Naadas deformed eye and stood to the side while Dr. Sha began his healing.
He placed his hands over her head and began a chant. He put his hands over her damaged eye and continued to chant. The entire healing took less than twenty minutes. When the procedure was complete I looked at this young woman and her eye was able to move. Her face was no longer stiff and deformed. Dr. Sha explained that she was not yet healed but that he had been able to release the paralysis of the eye and neighboring area in one short session. He suggested that she return to her doctors and see what the prognosis would be for recovering her vision and for accelerating the operation that they had suggested could not be considered for at least six months.
