What Was Truly Miraculous
A Brazilian woman with diabetes developed severe, infected diabetic foot ulcers and was scheduled for amputation. She prayed to Josephine Bakhita in the cathedral of Santos. The wounds quickly disappeared. The necrotic tissue vanished instantly. Modern vascular and endocrine charts verify the sudden disappearance.
Why It Can't Be Dismissed
Diabetic foot ulcers with infection and necrotic tissue typically lead to amputation. Modern vascular and endocrine medical charts verify the sudden disappearance of the necrotic tissue—spontaneous, instantaneous healing with complete disappearance has no medical explanation. The healing was complete and lasting.
