If the author of the newspaper article didn't go to see if he could heal a particular ailment, then Ketut would be wondering what the visit was about, and i guess his visitors would be wondering what he was about.
I just hate to see him discredited in any way. We saw many many offering baskets in front of his door, evidence that Balinese people place some faith in his ability to heal.
When he realised we weren't returning to Bali for a long time, he tried to teach my husband how to chanel energy through the body so that he could help heal himself to some degree.
I've never read the book that's been mentioned. It was written long after we saw Ketut.
To give the newspaper journalist credit where it's due, she wrote another very good article about Bali in the same edition. I loved her last paragraph :)
